  Fig. 2. Activation of sebox expression by Nodal/Activin signaling. A: WISH in mid-gastrula stage (st11) embryos injected with 80 pg Xnr1 mRNA into one cell at the four-cell stage and analyzed for sebox and brachyury (bra) expression. All embryos were viewed from the lateral side (lat.) with the animal pole upward. B: qRT-PCR analysis of the expression of sebox, bra, goosecoid (gsc) and chordin (chrd) in animal caps (ACs) in response to Activin treatment. Animal caps were dissected at st8.5 and cultured with the indicated dose of Activin for 4 hr before being subjected to RTPCR analysis. The gene expression levels in the control whole embryos (WE) were set to 100% for normalization and odc served as a loading control. C: WISH of st11 embryos injected with 2 ng cerberus-short (Cer-S) mRNA at the two-cell stage and analyzed for sebox and bix4 expression. Embryos were viewed from the vegetal (veg.) pole with the dorsal side upward. D: qRT-PCR analysis of the relative expression of the indicated genes in mid-gastrula (st11) embryos with treatments, as shown in C. The expression level of odc was used for normalization. E: RT-PCR analysis of the expression of the indicated genes in animal cap explants at the equivalent stage 11. Animal caps were isolated from st8.5 embryos that were injected with 0.5 ng VegT mRNA with or without 2 ng DN-ActRII mRNA at the two-cell stage. The marker odc served as a loading control. (F) RT-PCR analysis of the expression of the indicated genes in st11 animal cap explants that were isolated from st8.5 embryos injected with a range of doses (0–300 pg) of bra mRNA. The marker odc served as a loading control.

  Fig. 3. Modulation of sebox expression by zygotic Wnt/b-catenin signaling. A: WISH for sebox expression in stage 11 embryos injected with or without 40 pg Wnt8 plasmid at the two-cell stage. B: WISH for sebox, bix4 and mixer expression in embryos with the indicated treatments. Embryos were injected with 30 ng b-catenin (b-cat) Morpholino (MO) at the two-cell stage and cultured with or without 100 mM NaCl or LiCl at stage 8.5 for 30 min. They were then cultured in fresh 0.1 MMR to stage 11, followed by WISH analysis. ND: not determined. C: WISH for sebox, bix4 and mixer expression in stage 11 embryos injected with 20 ng Wnt8 MO at the two-cell stage. Note that mixer probes were applied to both intact embryos and half embryos that were bisected along the dorsal–ventral body axis (the bottom row). D: qRT-PCR analysis of the expression of sebox and mixer in animal caps in response to Activin treatment. Animal caps from 30 ng cMO or b-cat MO-injected embryos were dissected at st8.5, cultured with Activin (2 ng/ml) for 4 hr and then subjected to RT-PCR analysis. The relative expression of the indicated genes was normalized to the level of odc. The p values were calculated by a Student’s t-test. n.s. (no significance). E: qRT-PCR analysis of the expression of sebox, bra, and gsc in animal caps with the indicated treatments. Animal caps were dissected at stage 8.5 from wild-type (ctrl) or b-catenin mRNA (150 pg)-injected embryos and cultured with or without a low dose of Activin (0.1 ng/ml) protein for 4 hr. They were then subjected to qRT-PCR analysis. The gene expression levels in whole embryos were set to 100%. The relative expression levels of genes were normalized to the levels of odc.
