At E14.5, expression is restricted to the oral mesenchyme of the anterior region of the palate. | | E12.5 | E13.5 | E14.5 | E15.5 | |--------|-------|-------|-------|-------| | **Coronal** | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Gli1_coronal_E13.5_0.jpg){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Gli1_coronal_E14.5_0.jpg){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif){width=100} | | **Intraoral** | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Gli1_oral_E13.5_0.jpg){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Gli1_oral_E14.5_0.jpg){width=100} | ![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif){width=100} | N: Nasal Pr: Proximal Di: Distal O: Oral ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/C0B6D1.gif) Oral mesenchyme ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/8FBDCD.gif) All mesenchyme (AP axis) ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/ECB177.gif) Anterior mesenchyme (AP axis) #### Gene expression in the soft palate: In the E14.5 soft palate, _Gli1_ is predominantly expressed in the cranial neural crest (CNC)-derived cells in the TVP, PLG and LVP regions. _Gli1_ expression is also seen in the myogenic cells, epithelium, pterygoid plate and mesenchyme surrounding the epithelium. ![E14.5 Gli1 soft palate expression](https://www.facebase.org/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/E14.5-Gli1.jpg "E14.5 Gli1 expression in the soft palate") In the E16.5 soft palate, the majority of _Gli1_ expression is present in the CNC-derived mesenchyme cells surrounding the TVP, PLG and LVP myogenic fibers. A smaller amount can be also found in the myogenic cells. _Gli1_ expression is also observed in the epithelium, parts of the pterygoid plate and mesenchyme closely surrounding the epithelium. ![E16.5 Gli1 soft palate expression](https://www.facebase.org/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/E16.5-Gli1.jpg "E16.5 Gli1 expression in the soft palate") In the E18.5 soft palate, _Gli1_ expression remains low, except for a few positive cells detectable at the level of TVP, PLG and LVP mostly in the CNC-derived cells. Scattered _Gli1_ expression is also observed in the part of pterygoid plate, epithelium and mesenchyme closely surrounding the epithelium. ![E18.5 Gli1 soft palate expression](https://www.facebase.org/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/E18.5-Gli1.jpg "E18.5 Gli1 expression in the soft palate") ![Legend E14.5](https://www.facebase.org/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Figure-legend-copy.jpg "Figure legend") #### Sources: - Han et al.
