Anterior definitive endoderm from ESCs reveals a role for FGF signaling.
The use of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation to generate functional hepatic or pancreatic progenitors and as a tool for developmental biology is limited by an inability to isolate in vitro equivalents of regionally specified anterior definitive endoderm (ADE). To address this, we devised a strategy using a fluorescent reporter gene under the transcriptional control of the anterior endod...
متن کاملAnterior identity is established in chick epiblast by hypoblast and anterior definitive endoderm.
Previous studies of head induction in the chick have failed to demonstrate a clear role for the hypoblast and anterior definitive endoderm (ADE) in patterning the overlying ectoderm, whereas data from both mouse and rabbit suggest patterning roles for anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) and ADE. Based on similarity of gene expression patterns, fate and a dual role in 'protecting' the prospective f...
متن کاملRegulated Nodal signaling promotes differentiation of the definitive endoderm and mesoderm from ES cells.
Nodal signaling induces the formation of the endoderm and mesoderm during gastrulation. Nodal expression persists until the definitive endoderm progenitor has completely formed, and disappears thereafter. A tightly regulated Nodal expression system is essential for the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into distinct tissue lineages. On this basis, we established an ES cell differenti...
متن کاملDevelopment of definitive endoderm from embryonic stem cells in culture.
The cellular and molecular events regulating the induction and tissue-specific differentiation of endoderm are central to our understanding of the development and function of many organ systems. To define and characterize key components in this process, we have investigated the potential of embryonic stem (ES) cells to generate endoderm following their differentiation to embryoid bodies (EBs) i...
متن کاملBmp signaling mediates endoderm pouch morphogenesis by regulating Fgf signaling in zebrafish.
The endodermal pouches are a series of reiterated structures that segment the pharyngeal arches and help pattern the vertebrate face. Multiple pathways regulate the complex process of endodermal development, including the Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) pathway. However, the role of Bmp signaling in pouch morphogenesis is poorly understood. Using genetic and chemical inhibitor approaches, we s...
