Assay
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:2136857
Gene symbol: Wnt5a
Gene name: wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A
Probe: Wnt5a probe1
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.
Results
Specimen 4D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4D The cortical hem (see below) is delineated by the expression of Wnt2b, Wnt3a and Wnt5a.

Specimen 3H: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Strong Regionally restricted 3H Curved band of strong expression along medial face of telencephalon; marks the cortical hem.
TS20: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3H Expression in head mesenchyme invading the choroid plexus epithelium to form the stroma.
TS20: choroid invagination Absent 3H No expression in the choroid plexus epithelium.

Specimen 3I: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3I Expression in mesenchymal cells that are invading the medial wall of the telencephalon to form the stromal layer of the choroid plexus.

Specimen 7B: embryonic day 12.5; Gli3Xt-J/Gli3Xt-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Weak 7B In brains of non-exencephalic homozygous mutant mice, telencephalic expression severely downregulated (weak and diffuse). There is no expression in tissue that might correspond to the cortical hem.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5; Gli3Xt-J/Gli3Xt-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
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.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cortical plate Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression in the cortical plate of the entire medial cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus (postmitotic neurons in the pyramidal cell layer) and adjacent limbic cortical areas. Expression marks the shrinking cortical hem.
TS21: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression in the cortical plate of the entire medial cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus (postmitotic neurons in the pyramidal cell layer) and adjacent limbic cortical areas. Expression marks the shrinking cortical hem.
TS21: head mesenchyme Present 5C Expression also labels head mesenchymal cells.

Specimen 5D: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 5D Overlapping expression of Wnt2b, Wnt3a and Wnt5a marks a few cells along the lateral margin of the hippocampal fimbria-fornix. Expression largely confined to the hippocampal dentate gyrus.

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.
