Comparison of the expression domains of Sox9 and Wnt6 in the limb

Slightly oblique transverse sections of wing buds at HH-stage 24. (approx 4.5 days)

A Sox9 expression is limited to the chondrogenic region, which is located in the center of the limb bud mesenchyme.

B Wnt6 is expressed in the entire circumference of the limb bud ectoderm.

Scale bar 500 μm


"Our results suggest that the inhibitory influence of the ectoderm on limb chondrogenesis acts on an early stage of chondrogenesis upsteam of Sox9 and Collagen II. We identify Wnt6 as a candidate mediator of ectodermal chondrogenic inhibition in vivo. We propose a model of Wnt-mediated centripetal patterning of the limb by the surface ectoderm."
