Figure 8. P7 Six2creFrs2αKO kidneys have ectopic Shh staining in non-dilated proximal tubules.

Figure 8

(A,B) Immunostaining for Shh and LTL in adjacent P7 control kidneys (A and B, respectively) reveals no obvious Shh expression (A). (C,D) Immunostaining in P7 mutant kidneys shows clusters of ectopic Shh staining in non-dilated tubules (C, arrowhead) that also express LTL in an adjacent section (D, arrowhead), but shows no Shh staining in LTL-positive cyst lining cells (asterisks). (E,F) Higher magnification from regions in panels (C,D) (respectively), confirm that non-dilated Shh-expressing mutant tubules are also LTL-positive (arrowheads), but that LTL-positive cysts do not express Shh (asterisks). (A–D) scale bar = 100 μm.
