Fig. 3. Roles of hoxc12/c13 in reactivating patterning/growth during larval limb regeneration.

Fig. 3

A Typical spatial expression of patterning genes in the blastema of control (hoxc12+/+), hoxc12KO (hoxc12−/−), and hoxc13KO (hoxc13−/−) individuals at 4 dpa. B Statistics for the phenotypes in blastema morphology and gene expression for control (hoxc12+/+), hoxc12KO (hoxc12−/−), and hoxc13KO (hoxc13−/−) individuals. Biologically independent samples were used. N: normal; M: mild; S: severe. C Principal component analysis. D Comparative analysis of transcriptome data for typical patterning genes that function during limb development. E Effects of hoxc12/c13 knockout on cell proliferation in the prospective autopod region. Ctrl: hoxc12+/−. Box-plot elements: center line, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, max/min. Statistical test (Student’s t-test, two-sided): *p = 2.44 × 10−5; **p = 2.43 × 10−6; ***p = 0.037; ****p = 2.81 × 10−4, *****p = 7.64 × 10−6. All data were obtained from biologically independent samples: n = 9 (Ctrl); n = 12 (c12KO, normal); n = 10 (c13KO, normal); n = 7 (c12KO, severe); n = 7 (c13KO, severe). F Summary of phenotypes.
