Expression pattern of Hgf and Met cognate genes in lamprey embryos. Hgf/Mst1A (a, b), Hgf/Mst1B (c, d), Met (e, f), and Mst1r (g, h) expression pattern in lamprey embryos at stage 26 (a, c, e, and g) and 27 (b, d, f, and h). Lateral views. Note that transcripts of Hgf/Mst1A and B genes were not detected in the tissue near the ventral part of dermomyotome, nor in the trajectory of HBM precursors. Met expressions were not observed in somites and HBM precursors. anhp, anterior nasohypophyseal placode; fpe, floor of pharyngeal endoderm; li, liver anlage; me, mandibular arch endoderm; nt, neural tube; oe, oral epithelium; pe, pharyngeal endoderm; pn, pronephros; pnhp, posterior nasohypophyseal placode; va, ventral aorta; IX, glossopharyngeal nerve; X, vagus nerve. Scale bars, 200 μm
