Artifact and adipose tissue in wild-type tongue.

(A, B) Frontal sections showing empty spaces without surrounding cells in the tongue of prenatal (A) and postnatal (B) wild-type mice. Right panels are high magnification of left panels. Arrowheads indicating empty spaces. (C) Frontal sections showing intermuscular adipose in the tongue of 6-month-old wild-type mice. Arrowheads indicating adipocytes. P3, postnatal day 3; 6M, 6-month-old. Mucous salivary glands and their associated-adipose are known to be present in wild-type tongue. However, we could not identify any epithelial cells including glandular bodies or excretory ducts through immunohistochemistry around the sparse tissue. Adipose is also known to be present in the tongue as intermuscular adipose, which is often pathologically enlarged (Colella et al., 2009). However, it is known that the intermuscular adipose in the tongue is related to aging (Vettor et al., 2009; Scarda et al., 2010). In prenatal or postnatal wild-type tongue, empty gaps were found between muscle bundles; however, adipocyte-like cells could not be observed around the gaps (A, B). However, empty gaps surrounded by cells with a thin rim of cytoplasm between muscle bundles were observed in older mice (C). Empty gaps between neighboring muscle fibers found in prenatal or postnatal wild-type tongue should be an artifact, as previously reported (Rother et al., 2002). Thus, the brown adipose tissue found in the Ofd1 mutant tongue was not related to mucous salivary glands associated-adipose or intermuscular adipose.

Variation of Osr2-Cre activation.

Osr2-Cre activation (confirmed by LacZ staining in Osr2Cre;R26RLacZ) exhibited the three different patterns (Lan et al., 2007). Most embryos displayed tissue-specific pattern consistent with specific Cre expression from the Osr2 locus, as shown in A (tissue-specific pattern). Approximately 20% of Osr2-Cre displayed some ectopic activation, as shown in B (ectopic pattern). Approximately 10% of Osr2-Cre embryos displayed almost ubiquitous activation, as shown in C (ubiquitous pattern). Abnormal tongue was observed in Ofd1fl;Osr2Cre;R26RYFP mice with tissue-specific pattern (D). Ofd1fl;Osr2Cre;R26RYFP mice with ectopic pattern or ubiquitous pattern led to early lethal, as previous paper reported (Ferrante et al., 2006). Ofd1fl;Osr2Cre;R26RYFP mice we can used in this study were tissue-specific pattern.
