Hoxa-5 in mouse developing lung: cell-specific expression and retinoic acid regulation.

Study the Efect of Retinoeic Acid and Mitogenes on Lens and Optic Vesicle of Mouse Embryo(Nmri) and Fos Protein Expression In Culture Medium

Purpose: This work studies possible role of FOS proteins, retinoic acid (RA) and mitogens during optic vesicle development in vitro. Materials and Methods: Fos was detected as a product of 55-62 kDa in optic vesicles via electrophoretic procedures. Incubation (24hr) of optic vesicles with RA 25nM and mitogens(serum10%,insulin2.5%) on the day 9.5 of gestation revealed that Fos was induced by mi...

P-92: Retinoic Acid and STO Co-Culture System Enhance Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell

The development of mouse early embryos in vitro in fibroblasts and cumulus cells co-cultures supplemented with retinoic acid

This study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. One-cell mouse embryos were obtained from NMRImice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG)followed 48 hrs later by 5 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Mouse embryonic fibrobla...

Analysis of MiRNA-17 and MiRNA-146 Expression During Differentiation of Spermatogonial Stem Like Cells Derived from Mouse Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

In vitro derivation of germ cells from different stem cells sources has been challenging in the treatment of male infertility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an essential role in gene expression at post-transcriptional level. The aim of this research was to find more about miRNA-17 and miRNA-146 expression during differentiation of spermatogonial stem cell like cells (SSC like cells) from mouse bone m...

Ectopic expression of Hoxa-1 in the zebrafish alters the fate of the mandibular arch neural crest and phenocopies a retinoic acid-induced phenotype.

Considerable evidence has demonstrated that retinoic acid influences the formation of the primary body axis in vertebrates and that this may occur through the regulation of Hox gene expression. In this study, we show that the phenotype induced by exogenous retinoic acid in the zebrafish can also be generated by the overexpression of Hoxa-1 following injection of synthetic RNA into the fertilise...
