Tbx3 is required for outflow tract development.
Conotruncal and ventricular septal congenital heart anomalies result from defects in formation and division of the embryonic outflow tract. Cardiac remodeling during outflow tract and ventricular septation converts the tubular embryonic heart into a parallel circulatory system with an independent left ventricular outlet and right ventricular inlet. Tbx3 encodes a T-box-containing transcription ...
متن کاملTranscription factor Tbx3 is required for the specification of the atrioventricular conduction system.
The cardiac conduction system consists of distinctive heart muscle cells that initiate and propagate the electric impulse required for coordinated contraction. The conduction system expresses the transcriptional repressor Tbx3, which is required for vertebrate development and controls the formation of the sinus node. In humans, mutations in Tbx3 cause ulnar-mammary syndrome. Here, we investigat...
متن کاملSetting the pace: Tbx3 and Tbx18 in cardiac conduction system development.
A vexing problem for clinicians in the management of children and adults with congenital heart disease is the management of the accompanying arrhythmias. In the recent decade, the mutational spectrum associated with human congenital heart disease has begun to come into focus.1 The number of distinct genes implicated in human congenital heart disease is considerable, and a large portion of mutat...
متن کاملA large permissive regulatory domain exclusively controls Tbx3 expression in the cardiac conduction system.
RATIONALE The evolutionary conserved Tbx3/Tbx5 gene cluster encodes T-box transcription factors that play crucial roles in the development and homeostasis of the cardiac conduction system in human and mouse. Both genes are expressed in overlapping patterns and function in strictly tissue-specific and dose-dependent manners, yet, their regulation is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To analyze the ...
متن کاملA Molecular Pathway Including Id2, Tbx5, and Nkx2-5 Required for Cardiac Conduction System Development
The cardiac conduction system is an anatomically discrete segment of specialized myocardium that initiates and propagates electrical impulses to coordinate myocardial contraction. To define the molecular composition of the mouse ventricular conduction system we used microdissection and transcriptional profiling by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). Conduction-system-specific expression ...
