Figure 5.

Sall1 is an activator in nephron progenitors and a repressor in differentiating nephrons. (A) Venn diagrams of the left show the overlap of decreased (upper panels) or increased (lower panels) probes in Six2GFPCre;Sall1flox/flox kidneys and Sall1CreER/flox kidneys 24 and 48 hours after tamoxifen treatment. The circle graphs on the right show the distributions of the decreased or increased genes in Six2-GFP–positive or -negative cells. Gene numbers are smaller than probe numbers because of the overlaps of the probes. KO, knockout. (B and C) Immunostaining for Cited1. Tamoxifen was injected at E12.5 and analyzed at E14.5. The expression of Cited1 is significantly decreased in the Sall1CreER/flox kidney. Scale bar, 100 μm. (D and E) In situ hybridization of Osr1. The expression of Osr1 is mildly reduced in the Sall1CreER/flox kidney at E14.5. (F–I) Immunostaining for Nkx6.1. The expression of Nkx6.1 in the differentiating nephrons (arrows) is significantly increased in both the Sall1CreER/flox kidney treated with tamoxifen and the Six2Cre;Sall1flox/flox kidney at E14.5.
