FIG. 7. Exposure to LiC1 or misexpression of Xwnt-8 does not alter expression of chordin or goosecoid. (A). Control embryos, embryos made to misexpress Xwnt-8 in dorsal mesodermal cells (Xwnt-8 DMZ) and embryos treated with lithium at stage 9 were cultured to stage 13 and RNA extracted from 2 embryos in each group. Expression of chordin, gsc, and EF-la was assayed by RT-PCR. All data shown in A are from a single experiment. (B). The dorsal marginal zone (DMZ) was explanted from stage 10 embryos and was either left untreated (control explant) or was treated with lithium for 20 rain (LiC1 explant}. Explants were cultured to sibling stage 13 following which RNA was extracted from 4 explants in each group and the expression of chordin, gsc, and EF-I~ assayed by RTPCR. All data shown in B are from a single experiment.
