Simultaneous partial inhibition of NODAL and SHH causes HPE-like anterior neural defects in chick embryo. (A) Ventral views of chick embryo heads at stage 12. Embryos were treated with SB-505124 (25 μM) and cyclopamine (0.006 μM) at stage 4+ (n=187). Three phenotypes were distinguished using Pax6 in situ hybridization. The order of increasing severity was: category I*, category II* and category III*. (B) Phenotype distributions among embryos treated with cyclopamine (n=52), SB-505124 (n=59) or both (n=76) at stage 4+. The asterisks show the significant cumulative effect of the double treatment leading to the HPE-like phenotype (*P=4×10−4). OV, optic vesicles; OV*, single optic vesicle; T, telencephalon; Cat, category.
