Abstract

During tissue development, the morphogenesis of epithelial sheets is regulated by many factors, including mechanical force, although the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In the pharyngeal region of the vertebrate embryo, endodermal epithelium is reiteratively folded outward to form pharyngeal pouches, making partitions between the pharyngeal arches. Ripply3, encoding a member of the Ripply family of adaptor proteins, is required for the pouch formation posterior to the 2nd pharyngeal pouch. In this study, we found that the expression of mouse Ripply3 was specifically activated in accordance with the bending of the endodermal epithelium during the pouch formation. In Ripply3-deficient embryos, a continuous monolayer of the endodermal epithelium was not maintained posterior to the 2nd pharyngeal pouch. Corresponding to the endodermal region of the deformed epithelium, the activated form of Integrin β1, which was localized at the basal side of the epithelial cells in the wild-type embryos, was not persistently observed in the mutants. On the other hand, cell proliferation and apoptotic cell death in the endoderm were not obviously affected by the Ripply3 deficiency. Significantly, Ripply3 expressed in cultured cells w...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
