Insulin signaling blockade in transplanted endodermal committed blastomeres promotes Pdx1 expression. (A) Scheme of endoderm replacement transplantation experiments. sox32-injected blastomeres termed “Endoderm Committed Blastomeres” (ECBs) were isolated from donor Tg(sox17:GFP) blastulae with or without injected dnIRS2-GFP mRNA. ECBs were transplanted into endoderm deficient, sox32MO-injected host blastulae. (B) 24 hpf chimera shows extensive replacement of endogenous endoderm with transplanted Tg(sox17:GFP) donor cells. (C–D′′) Merged and single channel confocal projections of 24 hpf embryos with endoderm transplants from sox32 mRNA (C–C3, n=8) or sox32 and dnIRS2 mRNA (D–D′′, n=7) injected donors. Embryos were immunostained for GFP (green), Pdx1 (red), and DNA (blue). dnIRS2-GFP-expressing endoderm showed increased Pdx1 expression. |
