Retinoic acid regulates anterior–posterior patterning within the lateral plate mesoderm of Xenopus
The lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) lines the body cavities, gives rise to the heart and circulatory system and is responsible for patterning the underlying endoderm. We describe gene expression domains within the lateral plate mesoderm of the neurula stage Xenopus embryo that demonstrate a marked anterior posterior pattern in that tissue. FoxF1 and Nkx-2.5 are expressed in the anterior LPM, Hand1...
متن کاملFgf is required to regulate anterior–posterior patterning in the Xenopus lateral plate mesoderm
Given that the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) gives rise to the cardiovascular system, identifying the cascade of signalling events that subdivides the LPM into distinct regions during development is an important question. Retinoic acid (RA) is known to be necessary for establishing the expression boundaries of important transcription factors that demarcate distinct regions along the anterior pos...
متن کاملSatellite cells originate from the lateral plate mesoderm in Xenopus laevis
Xenopus laevis tadpoles possess high regenerative ability of amputated tails, except during the ‘refractory period’ when regenerative ability is transiently lost. We recently reported that treatment with an immunosuppressant (FK506) restores the regenerative ability, suggesting that immune responses act to impair regenerative ability during the refractory period. An expression analysis of immun...
متن کاملHedgehog–BMP signalling establishes dorsoventral patterning in lateral plate mesoderm to trigger gonadogenesis in chicken embryos
The gonad appears in the early embryo after several events: cells at the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) undergo ingression, begin gonadal differentiation and then retain primordial germ cells (PGCs). Here we show that in the chicken embryo, these events are triggered on the basis of dorsoventral patterning at the medial LPM. Gonadal progenitor cells (GPCs) at the ventromedial LPM initiate gonadog...
متن کاملCalcium mediates dorsoventral patterning of mesoderm in Xenopus
Calcium signals participate in the differentiation of electrically excitable and nonexcitable cells; one example of this differentiation is the acquisition of mature neuronal phenotypes. For example, transient elevations of the intracellular calcium concentration have been recorded in the ectoderm of early embryos, and this elevation has been proposed to participate in neural induction. Here, w...
