Using a combination of histology, 3D reconstructions and Shh whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH) analyses, several Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression domains have been shown sequentially appearing in the lower WT mouse incisor region during early development. In contrast to the single Shh expression domain that is widely assumed to be present in each lower incisor area at ED12.5-13.5, two spatially distinct regions of Shh expression have been identified that appeared in an anterior-posterior sequence during this period. The initial anterior, more superficially located Shh expression region represented the rudimentary (so-called deciduous) incisor, whereas only the later posterior deeper situated region corresponded to the prospective functional incisor. These findings strongly suggest the necessity to re-interpret previous results based on either morphology alone or on the detection of signaling molecules alone, and offer a new insight into the interpretation of existing data from mutant mice.
