13-P016 Timing of Krox20 transcription in the vertebrate hindbrain is directly controlled by FGF signalling
ulate the transition between self-renewal and differentiation stage in different systems, and both are associated with the maintenance of the progenitor state. The general question that arises is how those signals are integrated within otic progenitors so that they result in a precise cell diversification. We have studied the interactions between Sox2 and Notch pathways in otic neurosensory pro...
متن کاملDefined concentrations of a posteriorizing signal are critical for MafB/Kreisler segmental expression in the hindbrain.
It has been shown by using the quail/chick chimera system that Hox gene expression in the hindbrain is influenced by positional signals arising from the environment. In order to decipher the pathway that leads to Hox gene induction, we have investigated whether a Hox gene regulator, the leucine zipper transcription factor MafB/Kr, is itself transcriptionally regulated by the environmental signa...
متن کاملHindbrain patterning: FGFs regulate Krox20 and mafB/kr expression in the otic/preotic region.
Krox20 and mafB/kr are regulatory genes involved in hindbrain segmentation and anteroposterior (AP) patterning. They are expressed in rhombomeres (r) r3/r5 and r5/r6 respectively, as well as in the r5/r6 neural crest. Since several members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family are expressed in the otic/preotic region (r2-r6), we investigated their possible involvement in the regulation o...
متن کاملInhibition of retinoic acid receptor-mediated signalling alters positional identity in the developing hindbrain.
Retinoids regulate gene expression via nuclear retinoic acid receptors, the RARs and RXRs. To investigate the functions of retinoid receptors during early neural development, we expressed a dominant negative RARbeta in early Xenopus embryos. We obtained evidence that dominant negative RARbeta specifically inhibits RAR/RXR heterodimer-mediated, but not RXR homodimer-mediated, transactivation. Bo...
متن کاملSegmental expression of Hoxa-2 in the hindbrain is directly regulated by Krox-20.
The hindbrain is a segmented structure divided into repeating metameric units termed rhombomeres (r). The Hox family, vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila HOM-C homeotic selector genes, are expressed in rhombomere-restricted patterns and are believed to participate in regulating segmental identities. Krox-20, a zinc finger gene, has a highly conserved pattern of expression in r3 and r5 and is ...
