Reference: J:48569 Grove EA, et al., The hem of the embryonic cerebral cortex is defined by the expression of multiple Wnt genes and is compromised in Gli3-deficient mice. Development. 1998 Jun;125(12):2315-25
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:2136856
Gene symbol: Wnt3a
Gene name: wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 3A
Probe: Wnt3a probe4
Probe preparation: Antisense RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: One- and two-color in situ hybridization was performed using digoxygenin- and/or fluorescein-labeled probes, detected with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-digoxigenin or anti-fluorescein antibodies. Color reactions were carried out using different alkaline phosphatase substrates, resulting in different colored products as indicated in some of the figure legends.

Specimen 7K (right): embryonic day 10.5; Gli3Xt-J/Gli3Xt-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: telencephalon Weak Regionally restricted 7K (right) In non-exencephalic embryos, expression in the medial telencephalon was weak or barely detectable.
TS17: diencephalon Present 7K (right) Authors report relatively normal expression in diencephalon, hindbrain and spinal cord.
TS17: future spinal cord Present 7K (right) Authors report relatively normal expression in diencephalon, hindbrain and spinal cord.
TS17: hindbrain Present 7K (right) Authors report relatively normal expression in diencephalon, hindbrain and spinal cord.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted Cortical hem is delineated by the epxression of Wnt2b, Wnt3a and Wnt5a.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Strong Regionally restricted 3A Authors state that Wnt3a shows the same characteristic curved band of expression along the medial face of the telencephalon as Wnt2b; marks the cortical hem.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: choroid invagination Absent No expression in the choroid plexus epithelium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5; Gli3Xt-J/Gli3Xt-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Absent Expression in the telencephalon was not detected, or weak and diffuse. No expression detected in tissue that might correspond to the cortical hem.
TS20: inner ear Strong Strong expression at the otic vesicle and nasal epithelium.
TS20: nasal cavity epithelium Strong Strong expression at the otic vesicle and nasal epithelium.
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted In some mutant mice, expression at the dorsal midline of the diencephalon.
TS20: hindbrain Present Regionally restricted Expression next to the fourth ventricle where Ttr-expressing choroid plexus formed.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted Overlapping expression of Wnt2b, Wnt3a and Wnt5a marks a few cells along the lateral margin of the hippocampal fimbria-fornix, the dorsal point of attachment of the choroid plexus epithelium to the neuroepithelium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted Overlapping expression of Wnt2b, Wnt3a and Wnt5a marks a few cells along the lateral margin of the hippocampal fimbria-fornix, the dorsal point of attachment of the choroid plexus epithelium to the neuroepithelium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 16.5; Gli3Xt-J/Gli3Xt-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: telencephalon Absent Five non-exencephalic homozygous mutants showed no expression in the medial telencephalon.
