Retinoic acid signaling regulates murine bronchial tubule formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Treatment of pseudoglandular stage fetal lungs in vitro with the pan-retinoic acid receptor (pan-RAR) antagonist, BMS493, reduces retinoic acid receptor beta (Rarb) gene expression within the proximal bronchial tubules and increases explant bud formation. Treatment with retinoic acid (RA) increases Rarb expression and reduces explant bud formation through a signaling mechanism involving RARbeta. Together these data suggest that RA through RARbeta provides morphogenetic stabilizing activity to the proximal tubules during lung branching morphogenesis. Here we further investigate RA-mediated morphogenetic stabilization of the proximal respiratory tubules during fetal lung development. We demonstrate that Rarb isoform transcripts are the only known Rar transcripts to specifically localize to the proximal tubules and that RAREhsp68lacZ reporter transgene activity reveals endogenous RA signaling activity within these same proximal tubules. Furthermore, the expression patterns of the RA-producing enzyme retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (Raldh1), as well as of transforming growth factor-3beta (Tgfb3), Foxa2, and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (Cftr) within the proximal tubules are all altered by the application of either RA or BMS493 in vitro. We therefore discuss an interbud/proximal tubule signaling niche involving feedback between Rarb expression and Raldh1-mediated synthesis of RA. We suggest that this feedback favors interbud morphogenetic stability by increasing expression of morphoregulatory molecules such as TGFbeta3 and Foxa2, thus promoting bronchial tubule formation rather than continual budding and branching. The relationship between this RAR signaling center and the previously described distal bud signaling center is also addressed.

متن کاملPrenatal retinoid deficiency leads to airway hyperresponsiveness in adult mice.
There is increasing evidence that vitamin A deficiency in utero correlates with abnormal airway smooth muscle (SM) function in postnatal life. The bioactive vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) is essential for formation of the lung primordium; however, little is known about the impact of early fetal RA deficiency on postnatal lung structure and function. Here, we provide evidence that durin...

Retinoic acid signaling is a major component of the neural posteriorizing process in vertebrate development. Here, we identify a new role for the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) in the anterior of the embryo, where RAR regulates Fgf8 expression and formation of the pre-placodal ectoderm (PPE). RARα2 signaling induces key pre-placodal genes and establishes the posterolateral borders of the PPE. RAR...

Retinoic acid is like a steroid hormone that plays a role in embryo formation, proliferation of spermatogonia cells, ephitelial cells differentiation and organogenesis. Retinoic acid can influences seminiferous tubule formation during embryonic testis development and also play a role in the regulation of ovarian function and female reproductive tract by suppressing the hormones FSH receptor exp...
