Bmp4 and Noggin expression during early thymus and parathyroid organogenesis

Gene Expression Patterns : GEP
Seema R PatelNancy R Manley

Abstract

The thymus and parathyroids originate from the third pharyngeal pouches, which form as endodermal outpocketings in the pharyngeal region beginning on embryonic day 9 (E9.0) of mouse development. Using organ-specific markers, we have previously shown that thymus and parathyroid-specific organ domains are established within the primordium prior to formation of the organs proper: Gcm2 expression defines the prospective parathyroid cells in the dorsal pouch from E9.5, while Foxn1 is expressed in the thymus domain from E11.25. Bmp (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling has been implicated in thymic epithelial cell differentiation and thymus organogenesis. In the present study, we report expression patterns of Bmp4 and Noggin, a Bmp4 antagonist, in the third pharyngeal pouch using two lacZ transgenic mouse strains. Results from this gene expression study revealed localization of Bmp4 expression to the ventral region of the third pharyngeal pouch endoderm at E10.5 and E11.5, in those cells that will express Foxn1 and form the thymus. Conversely, the expression of Noggin was confined to the dorsal region of the pouch and primordium at these stages, and thus appeared to be co-expressed with Gcm2 in the parathyroid domain. This represent...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
