Vertebrate development: Multiple phases to endoderm formation
Recent results support a two-step model for endoderm formation in amphibian embryos, in which endoderm is initially specified by localised maternal factors, including the transcription factor VegT, but is then maintained by extracellular signalling molecules of the transforming growth factor-beta family.
متن کاملMolecular regulation of vertebrate early endoderm development.
Detailed study of the ectoderm and mesoderm has led to increasingly refined understanding of molecular mechanisms that operate early in development to generate cellular diversity. More recently, a number of powerful studies have begun to characterize the molecular determinants of the endoderm, a germ layer previously neglected in developmental biology. Work in diverse model systems has converge...
متن کاملMultiple dose-dependent roles for Sox2 in the patterning and differentiation of anterior foregut endoderm.
Sox2 is expressed in developing foregut endoderm, with highest levels in the future esophagus and anterior stomach. By contrast, Nkx2.1 (Titf1) is expressed ventrally, in the future trachea. In humans, heterozygosity for SOX2 is associated with anopthalmia-esophageal-genital syndrome (OMIM 600992), a condition including esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), in which the t...
متن کاملThe varied roles of nuclear receptors during vertebrate embryonic development
Nuclear receptors comprise a superfamily of sequence-specific transcription factors whose members have diverse roles during development. This review will summarize the developmental roles of selected members of the nuclear receptor superfamily.
متن کاملMultiple roles of hoxc8 in skeletal development.
We are interested in investigating the function of Hoxc8 in skeletogenesis during mouse development. Previous studies have shown that deregulation of Hoxc8 expression in the mouse leads to several skeletal defects, such as homeotic transformation in the thoracic vertebrae, abnormal development of the rib cage, and overproliferation of chondrocytes in the hypertrophic area. By deleting a crucial...
