Perturbation of FGF4 Signaling in the Lumen Impacts Molecular Specification of EPI and PrE Lineages

(A) Immunofluorescence images of EPI (Sox2) and PrE (Gata4) fate in E3.5 post-FGF4 deposition (E3.5 FGF4 Inj.), E3.5 post-PD173074 deposition (E3.5 PD Inj.), and E3.5 post-PBS deposition (E3.5 PBS Inj.). White dotted line indicates lumen boundaries. Average lumen volume in white text. Scale bars, 10 μm.

(B) Boxplot of fluorescence levels of Sox2 (green) and Gata4 (magenta) in E3.5 post-FGF4 deposition (FGF4 Inj., N = 24), E3.5 post-PD173074 deposition (PD Inj., N = 21), and E3.5 post-PBS deposition (PBS Inj., N = 13) embryos.

(C) Boxplot of luminal volume in E3.5 post-FGF4 deposition (FGF4 Inj., N = 24), E3.5 post-PD173074 deposition (PD Inj., N = 21), and E3.5 post-PBS deposition (PBS Inj., N = 13).

∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001, ∗∗p < 0.01. n.s., not significant.

For boxplots: central mark indicates the median; lower edge, 25%; upper edge, 75%; lower whisker, Q1 − (1.5 × IQR) where IQR = Q3 − Q1; upper whisker, Q3 + (1.5 × IQR).
