Figure 2. Expression Analysis of Xenopus and Mouse R-spondins(A) Rspo2 expression during Xenopus development at the indicated embryonic stages analyzed by RT-PCR. Histone H4 was used for normalization. −RT, minus reverse transcription control.(B–H) Xenopus whole-mount in situ hybridizations of the indicated genes.(B) Stage 11 embryo, dorso-vegetal view; dbl, dorsal blastoporal lip.(C) Stage 12 embryo, dorsal view with anterior up. An anterior neural expression domain is indicated by arrowhead.(D) Stage 15 embryo, dorsal view with anterior up.(E) Stage 14 embryo, dorsal view with anterior up.(F and G) Tailbud stage embryos; ba, branchial arches; cm, cranial musculature; di, diencephalon; dnt, dorsal neural tube; mhb, midbrain-hindbrain boundary; ov, otic vesicle; pn, pronephros; pdm, proctodeum; s, somites; tb, tailbud mesoderm. Inset in (F) shows a transverse section at the level indicated by arrowhead, showing expression in dorsal neural tube and in the dorsal- and ventral-most parts of the somites.(H) Dissected Xenopus tadpole brain (lateral view) showing expression in diencephalons (di) and zona limitans intrathalamica (zli), where sonic hedgehog is expressed (inset). dt, vt, dorsal and ventral thalamus, respectively; sc, spinal cord; tel, telencephalon.(I–M) Mouse whole-mount in situ hybridizations of the indicated genes.(I) Limb buds of day 12.5 mouse embryos. AER, apical ectodermal ridge.(J) Day 7.5 mouse embryo showing Rspo3 expression in the primitive streak.(K–M) Day 9.5 mouse embryos. di, diencephalon; dnt, dorsal neural tube; met, metencephalon; tel, telencephalon.
