Fig. 2. KDM3A is required for the primary neurogenesis in Xenopus. (A) A schematic showing the experimental design for B and C. (B,B′) Embryos at stage 24/25 stained with red-Gal and in situ hybridized with tubb2b. cMO or 3A MO (40 ng) was injected into one cell at the two-cell stage. The 3A MO-resistant kdm3a mRNA (300 pg) together with 200 pg β-gal mRNAwas subsequently injected into the 3A MO-injected cell at the two-cell stage. The expression levels of tubb2b were classified into three categories: ‘normal’, as seen in cMO-injected embryos; ‘partial’, as seen in some of KDM3A depleted embryos; and ‘complete’ loss, as seen in the remainder of the KDM3A-depleted embryos. Injection of the MO-resistant kdm3a mRNA partially rescues the expression of tubb2b in KDM3A morphants. The numbers on the top of histograms in B′ are sums from two independent experiments. (C,C′) Embryos at stage 16/17 stained with red-Gal and in situ hybridized with tubb2b. cMO and 3A MO (40 ng) were injected into one cell at the two-cell stage. mRNA (100 pg) encoding neurog2 or ascl1 together with 200 pg β-gal mRNA was subsequently injected into the MO-receiving cell at the two-cell stage. Phenotypes were classified into four categories based on whether ectopic neurons were induced and/or whether tubb2b was ‘partially’ or ‘completely’ lost in the MO-injected side. The numbers on the top of histograms in C′ are the total number of samples from two independent experiments.
