Expression of Rnf43 and Znrf3 in the circumvallate papillae, fungiform papillae, and surrounding lingual epithelium
(A and B) In situ hybridization of Rnf43 and Znrf3 with antisense riboprobes in circumvallate papilla in posterior tongue (A) and in fungiform papillae and the surrounding lingual epithelium (e.g., filiform papillae) in anterior tongue (B). Dotted lines in insets demarcate epithelial-mesenchymal boundaries. Arrows, fungiform papillae; arrowheads, filiform papillae. Scale bars, 50 μm.
