Reference: J:206319 Welcker JE, et al., Insm1 controls development of pituitary endocrine cells and requires a SNAG domain for function and for recruitment of histone-modifying factors. Development. 2013 Dec;140(24):4947-58
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:8238525
Gene symbol: Sox2
Gene name: SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2
Results
Specimen 1C: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: blue - Sox2; green - Insm1 (assay MGI:8238523); red - Sox9 (assay MGI:8238526).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: pituitary gland Present Regionally restricted 1C , 1C' Expression was detected in endocrine progenitors of the pituitary. A few cells co-expressed Sox2 and Insm1.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Sox2; green - Insm1 (assay MGI:8238523); blue - hormones.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: pituitary gland Present Regionally restricted 1D , 1D' Expression was detected in endocrine progenitors of the pituitary. A few cells co-expressed Sox2 and Insm1.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm1Cbm/Insm1+ (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Sox2; green - Insm1 reporter (assay MGI:8238960); blue - Pecam1 (assay MGI:8238532).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present Regionally restricted 3A , 3A' Expression was detected in endocrine progenitors of the pituitary.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm1Cbm/Insm1tm1Cbm (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Sox2; green - Insm1 reporter (assay MGI:8238960); blue - Pecam1 (assay MGI:8238532).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present Regionally restricted 3B' , 3B A marked increase in the number of Sox2+ cells was observed in the mutant. The supernumerary Sox2+ cells co-expressed beta-galactosidase in Insm1<lacZ> mutants.

Specimen 8A: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm2.1Cbm/Insm1+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Insm1 (assay MGI:8238523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present 8A

Specimen 8B: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm1Cbm/Insm1tm2.1Cbm (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Insm1 (assay MGI:8238523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present 8B A significant increase in the number of Sox2+, but not Insm1+ cells was observed in Insm1<deltaSNAG> mutants compared with control. The proportion of Sox2+ cells co-expressing Insm1 was increased in Insm1<deltaSNAG> mutants compared with control mice.

Specimen S6A: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm2.1Cbm/Insm1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present Regionally restricted S6A Expression was detected in endocrine progenitors of the pituitary.

Specimen S6B: embryonic day 17.5; Insm1tm1Cbm/Insm1tm2.1Cbm (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: adenohypophysis Present Regionally restricted S6B The number of Sox2+ cells was increased in the Insm1<lacZ/deltaSNAG> pituitary.
