Ocular Surface Development and Gene Expression
The ocular surface-a continuous epithelial surface with regional specializations including the surface and glandular epithelia of the cornea, conjunctiva, and lacrimal and meibomian glands connected by the overlying tear film-plays a central role in vision. Molecular and cellular events involved in embryonic development, postnatal maturation, and maintenance of the ocular surface are precisely ...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression in mouse sclera during ocular development.
PURPOSE Ocular development involves changes in extracellular matrix components of the scleral wall as it expands. This study was conducted to determine scleral gene expression profiles during mouse ocular development to identify genes involved in normal scleral growth. METHODS Sample sets of pooled sclerae of 3- and 8-week-old mice were microdissected, and total RNA was isolated. After revers...
متن کاملOcular surface epithelial and stem cell development.
Phenotypic features and developmental events involved in the genesis of the limbo-corneal and conjunctival epithelia are described. Together, these two epithelia define the ocular surface. They derive from a small cohort of optic vesicle-induced PAX6+ head ectodermal cells that remain on the surface following lens vesicle formation by the main PAX6+ cell cohort. Both epithelia are stratified, a...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile Analysis during Mouse Tooth Development
Introduction: Complex molecular pathways involve in development of different tissues such as teeth. Differential gene expression patterns during teeth development generates different tooth types. Teeth development results from interactions between oral epithelium and underlying ectomesenchyme cells with neural crest origin. Teeth development are regulated by different signaling networks. In thi...
متن کاملExpression of Crim1 during murine ocular development
Crim1 (cysteine-rich motor neuron 1), a novel gene encoding a putative transmembrane protein, has recently been isolated and characterized (Kolle, G., Georgas, K., Holmes, G.P., Little, M.H., Yamada, T., 2000. CRIM1, a novel gene encoding a cysteine-rich repeat protein, is developmentally regulated and implicated in vertebrate CNS development and organogenesis. Mech. Dev. 90, 181-193). Crim1 co...
