Fig. 4. xSox6 is required for craniofacial cartilage formation. (A) Whole-mount in situ hybridization for xSox6 was performed on embryos at stages 15, 23, 29/30, 35/36, 39 and 41. OV, otic vesicle; BA, branchial arch; FB, forebrain; MB, midbrain; E, ethmoid cartilage; PQ, palatoquadrate cartilage; M, Meckel’s cartilage; CH, ceratohyal cartilage; CB, ceratobranchial cartilage. (B) Magnified view of the head of embryos shown in A. FB, forebrain; MB, midbrain; HB, hindbrain; OV, otic vesicle; CG, cement gland; E, ethmoid cartilage; PQ, palatoquadrate cartilage; M, Meckel’s cartilage; CH, ceratohyal cartilage; CB, ceratobranchial cartilage; BHB, basihyobranchial cartilage. (C) xSox6-MO was injected into the animal pole of all blastomeres (10 ng/cell) at the four-cell stage, and the embryos were fixed at stage 45. (D) xSox6-MO was injected unilaterally into the animal pole of two blastomeres (10 ng/cell) at the four-cell stage. Uninjected and injected embryos were fixed at stage 45, and cartilages were stained with Alcian Blue. Image published in: Suzuki T et al. (2012) Copyright © 2012.
