Fig. 6. Dlx3 and GATA2 are required cell-autonomously in the non-neural ectoderm for Six1 induction. (A-F′)Host embryos were co-injected with mycGFP mRNA and either Dlx3 MO (A-C′) or GATA2 MO (D-F′) at the two- to eight-blastomere stage and received a neural plate (NP) graft (pigmented) into their belly ectoderm (B-B′) at stage 13. After host embryos reached tailbud stage, grafts are shown in overview (A,D) and at higher magnifications (B-C′,E-F′) in brightfield (B-F), green fluorescent channel (B′-F′) and an overlay (B′-F′). Boxed areas in B and E are shown in detail in C and F, respectively. Six1 induction in non-neural host ectoderm around the graft (asterisks) is specifically suppressed in cells that received high levels of Dlx3 MO or GATA2 MO (arrows or outlined areas of green cells).
