Microarray analysis of Xenopus endoderm expressing Ptf1a.
Pancreas-specific transcription factor 1a (Ptf1a), a bHLH transcription factor, has two temporally distinct functions during pancreas development; initially it is required for early specification of the entire pancreas, while later it is required for proper differentiation and maintenance of only acinar cells. The importance of Ptf1a function was revealed by the fact that loss of Ptf1a leads to...
متن کاملDynamic expression of Groucho-related genes Grg1 and Grg3 in foregut endoderm and antagonism of differentiation.
While much is known about Groucho corepressors in Drosophila development, less is known about Grg homologs in mammalian embryogenesis. The transcription factors FoxA1 and FoxA2 are redundantly necessary for liver-inductive competence of the endoderm, and recently we found that FoxA factors bind Grg3, recruit the corepressor to FoxA target genes, and cause transcriptional repression, when Grg3 i...
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 کاملDepletion of definitive gut endoderm in Sox17-null mutant mice.
In the mouse, the definitive endoderm is derived from the epiblast during gastrulation, and, at the early organogenesis stage, forms the primitive gut tube, which gives rise to the digestive tract, liver, pancreas and associated visceral organs. The transcription factors, Sox17 (a Sry-related HMG box factor) and its upstream factors, Mixer (homeobox factor) and Casanova (a novel Sox factor), ha...
متن کاملRho GTPases in endoderm development and differentiation
The embryonic foregut of the mouse embryo is lined by a layer of endoderm cells whose architecture changes during development. The transition from a squamous to columnar epithelial morphology is accompanied by the upregulation of an atypical Rho GTPase, Rhou. Subsequently, multi-layering of the epithelium at the site of organ bud formation is associated with the downregulation of Rhou. Rho-rela...
