S08-11 Regulation of neural tube closure by cell adhesion molecules
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are established from the inner cell mass of a preimplantation embryo, are capable of self-renewal, and exhibit pluripotency. Given these unique properties, ESCs are expected to have therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine and as a powerful tool for invitro differentiation studies of stem cells. Various growth factors and extracellular matrix components regulat...

The kidney and vasculature are intimately linked functionally and during development, where nephric and blood/vascular progenitor cells occupy adjacent bands of mesoderm in zebrafish and frog embryos. Developmental mechanisms underlying the differentiation of kidney vs. blood/vascular lineages are unknown. The odd skipped related1 (osr1) gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that is e...
متن کاملNeural GPI-anchored cell adhesion molecules.
When first identified, neural cell adhesion molecules (neural CAMs) were thought to act simply by providing cell surfaces with differential adhesion properties. In the decades following the identification of the first neural CAMs, it has been realized that these proteins are actually involved in very complex processes such as axon guidance, neuronal migration, neurite outgrowth and fasciculatio...
متن کاملCdx mediates neural tube closure through transcriptional regulation of the planar cell polarity gene Ptk7.
The vertebrate Cdx genes (Cdx1, Cdx2 and Cdx4) encode homeodomain transcription factors with well-established roles in anteroposterior patterning. To circumvent the peri-implantation lethality inherent to Cdx2 loss of function, we previously used the Cre-loxP system to ablate Cdx2 at post-implantation stages and confirmed a crucial role for Cdx2 function in events related to axial extension. As...
متن کاملNeural tube closure in Xenopus
Neurulation is the process by which progenitors of the central nervous system are shaped, separated from and brought beneath the epidermis. The cellular basis of these movements have been investigated in amphibians (Jacobson, 1981; Jacobson and Gordon, 1976; Keller et al., 1992b), chicken (Schoenwolf and Smith, 1990b; Smith and Schoenwolf, 1997) and mice (Bush et al., 1990; Sausedo and Schoenwo...
