Figure 1. Shh is expressed in LMC neurons in developing mouse and chick spinal cord.

Figure 1.

(A) ISH analysis of mouse spinal cord (dotted outline) showed the expression of Shh in FP and LMC region (arrowhead) at later stages when motor columns are specified. (B) ISH analysis of chick Shh combining with IHC of Isl1/FoxP1 and Lhx3 in chick spinal cord. At HH St.29, Shh is mainly detected in LMCm (Isl1+/FoxP1+) neurons at brachial levels and LMCl (Isl1-/FoxP1+) neurons at lumbar levels but not in motor neurons at thoracic levels of chick spinal cord (dotted outline). Scale bars: 100 μm. (C) Schematic drawing shows the LMCm, LMCl, and MMC motor columns in the ventral spinal cord with representative markers.
