Endoderm specification
In this chapter I focus on the emergence of endoderm, the origin of these cells and their organization in space. I also discuss the molecular events that lead to endoderm formation and how endoderm can be molecularly defined. Although the molecular control of endoderm formation has initially been deciphered using Xenopus, Zebrafish, sea urchin and several other species many molecular switches h...
متن کاملSpecification of pharyngeal endoderm
For more than a century, vertebrate taste buds have been singled out as the prime example of neural induction of sensory organs during development. This view has held that late in embryogenesis, sensory nerve fibers contacted the oral and pharyngeal epithelia, and induced a subset of epithelial cells to give rise to multicellular taste buds (Guth, 1957; Hosley et al., 1987; Torrey, 1940). The i...
متن کاملTraction forces mediated by integrin signaling are necessary for definitive endoderm specification.
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) exert low-traction forces on their niche in vitro whereas specification to definitive endoderm in vivo coincides with force-mediated motility, suggesting a differentiation-mediated switch. However, the onset of contractility and extent to which force-mediated integrin signaling regulates fate choices is not understood. To address the requirement of tracti...
متن کاملPivotal roles for eomesodermin during axis formation, epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition and endoderm specification in the mouse.
The T-box transcription factor eomesodermin (Eomes) has been implicated as an important component in germ layer induction and patterning in vertebrate embryos. In the mouse, Eomes is essential for development of the trophectoderm lineage and Eomes loss-of-function mutants arrest at implantation. Here, we have used a novel Eomes conditional allele to test Eomes functions in the embryo proper. Eo...
متن کاملHHEX Promotes Hepatic-Lineage Specification through the Negative Regulation of Eomesodermin
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could provide a major window into human developmental biology, because the differentiation methods from hESCs mimic human embryogenesis. We previously reported that the overexpression of hematopoietically expressed homeobox (HHEX) in the hESC-derived definitive endoderm (DE) cells markedly promotes hepatic specification. However, it remains unclear how HHEX fu...
