myca is specifically expressed in the liver-forming region, and is rapidly induced in the posterior endoderm upon Wnt8a overexpression. (A-D) myca starts to be expressed in the liver-forming region around 26 hpf (B, arrow) and is specifically expressed in the liver at least up to 48 hpf (C,D; arrows). (E-H) Wnt8a overexpression via heat-shock at 26 hpf induced ectopic myca expression in the posterior endoderm by 6 hours after heat-shock (F, bracket, n=10 out of 10) and ectopic expression can often be seen even 3 hours after heat-shock (H, n=13 out of 18). Dotted lines (G,H) delineate the endodermal region in which myca is expressed. Arrows in E,F point to the liver. Dorsal views, anterior to the left. Scale bars: 100 μm. |
