  Fig. 1. aqp3bis expressed in the marginal zones of gastrula embryos. aqp3b expression was characterized by in situ hybridization in gastrula Xenopus embryos. (A-C) Animal pole views of aqp3b expression in stage 10.5 embryos. Expression of aqp3b was strong in the entire animal cap (A) and otx2 expression marks the dorsal lip of the blastopore (B). (C) Double in situ hybridization showed aqp3b (bracket) and otx2 (arrow) expression. The aqp3b expression domain extended to the region of otx2 expression. (D-I) Hemisected embryos. (D) aqp3b is expressed in the sensorial layer of the blastocoel roof and in the marginal zones at early gastrula stage 10. (F) aqp3b expression (bracket) extends to the dorsal lip of the blastopore (marked by otx2, arrow; stage 10.25 embryo). The strong staining lining the blastocoel was also present in otx2 single in situ hybridizations and therefore due to the otx2 probe (not shown). Stage 11 (G) and stage 12 (I) embryos showed diminishing levels of aqp3b expression in involuted mesoderm (arrowheads). In situ hybridization with aqp3b sense probe demonstrated low levels of background in the areas of interest (E, H). Remnants of brown pigment are due to the use of bleached wild type embryos. The dorsal lip of the blastopore is at the top in (A-C) and to the right in (D-I). D, dorsal; V, ventral.
