Assay
Reference: J:135151 Sigulinsky CL, et al., Vsx2/Chx10 ensures the correct timing and magnitude of Hedgehog signaling in the mouse retina. Dev Biol. 2008 May 15;317(2):560-75
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6383012
Gene symbol: Gli1
Gene name: GLI-Kruppel family member GLI1
Probe: Gli1 probe37
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Assay notes: The genetic background of the wild type specimens was either +/+ or heterozygous orJ. The authors report these mice to be phenotypically indistinguishable and considered to be equivalent.
Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: retina Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression in retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), restricted to central retina and stronger on the dorsal side
TS20: perioptic mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 1A Strong expression in extra-retinal tissue.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 12.5; Vsx2or-J/Vsx2or-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: retina Absent 1B
TS20: perioptic mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 1B Strong expression in extra-retinal tissue.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present Widespread 2C Expression in retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) extends to peripheral retina.

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 15.5; Vsx2or-J/Vsx2or-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression is centrally restricted. Where expressed, level of expression appear normal compared to wild type.

Specimen 3B/C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Gli1; green - Tubb3 (assay MGI:6383021).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present Widespread 3B , 3C Expression extending to peripheral retina.

Specimen 3E/F: embryonic day 15.5; Vsx2or-J/Vsx2or-J (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Gli1; green - Tubb3 (assay MGI:6383021).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present Regionally restricted 3F , 3E Expression is centrally restricted. Expression boundary aligns with, or is slightly more centrally restricted than, boundary for acetylated Tubb3 expression.

Specimen 3H/I: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Gli1; green - Tubb3 (assay MGI:6383021).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: retina Present Regionally restricted 3H , 3I Expression is centrally restricted.

Specimen 5A: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: retina Strong Regionally restricted 5A Abundant expression in retinal progenitor cells (RPCs).

Specimen 5B: postnatal day 0; Vsx2or-J/Vsx2or-J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: retina Weak 5B Expression reduced compared with wild type.
