Summary

[edit]
Description FIGURE 4. RA signaling is required in the prospective ectoderm at the onset of gastrulation to prevent NTC defects. (A–C) Embryos (Xenopus) were exposed to DEAB (A), 0.5% EtOH (B), or 1.5% EtOH (C), starting at different developmental stages (NF8, 10.25, 11, 14). The frequency of NTC defects was calculated relative to control samples. (D,E) Embryos were treated with 0.5% (D) and 1.5% EtOH (E) to induce NTC defects. RAL (1 µM) was then added at different stages to rescue the reduction in RA levels. (F) Embryos were injected with mRNA encoding the Cyp26a1 enzyme. Injections targeted unilaterally either the prospective neuroectoderm (B-tier) or dorsal mesoderm (C-tier). The injection site was corroborated by the co-injection of FITC-dextran. (G–I) Embryos were injected with cyp26a1 mRNA targeting the prospective anterior neural plate. FITC-dextran was co-injected to label the injection site. At NTC stages (NF19) the embryos were monitored for NTC defect induction, the localization of the NTC defects, and the overlap with the lineage tracer. The orientation of the embryos, the injected side, and the NTD are shown. Sample sizes are shown within each bar. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001; ns, not significant. Brackets denote samples compared, no bracket, sample compared to the control sample.
