Rodent incisors grow throughout adult life, but are prevented from becoming excessively long by constant abrasion, which is facilitated by the absence of enamel on one side of the incisor. Here we report that loss-of-function of sprouty genes, which encode antagonists of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, leads to bilateral enamel deposition, thus impeding incisor abrasion and resulting in unchecked tooth elongation. We demonstrate that sprouty genes function to ensure that enamel-producing ameloblasts are generated on only one side of the tooth by inhibiting the formation of ectopic ameloblasts from self-renewing stem cells, and that they do so by preventing the establishment of an epithelial-mesenchymal FGF signaling loop. Interestingly, although inactivation of Spry4 alone initiates ectopic ameloblast formation in the embryo, the dosage of another sprouty gene must also be reduced to sustain it after birth. These data reveal that the generation of differentiated progeny from a particular stem cell population can be differently regulated in the embryo and adult. 相似文献

The mouse is a suitable experimental model to study the biology of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as well as to be used in
biocompatibility studies and tissue engineering models. However, the isolation and purification of murine MSCs is far more
challenging than their counterparts from other species. In this study, we isolated, expanded and characterized mouse MSCs
from bone marrow (BM-MSCs). Additionally, we analyzed the effects of two regulatory molecules, interleukin 17 (IL-17) and
basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), on BM-MSCs growth and elucidated the signaling pathways involved. The results revealed
that IL-17 increased the frequency of colony-forming units fibroblast (CFU-F) as well as the BM-MSCs proliferation in a dose-dependent
manner, while bFGF supplementation had no significant effect on CFU-F frequency but induced an increase in cell proliferation.
Their combined usage did not produce additive effects on BM-MSCs proliferation and even induced reduction in the number of
CFU-F. Also, the involvement of both p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinases
(MAPKs) signaling in proliferative activity of IL-17 and bFGF on murine BM-MSCs and, moreover, the increased co-activation
of a common signaling molecule, p38 MAPK, were demonstrated. Together, the data presented highlighted the role of IL-17 and
bFGF in murine BM-MSCs proliferation and pointed to the complexity and specificity of the signaling networks leading to MSCs
proliferation in response to different regulatory molecules. 相似文献

Distinct neural stem cells proliferate in response to EGF and FGF in the developing mouse telencephalon 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

Multipotent, self-renewing neural stem cells reside in the embryonic mouse telencephalic germinal zone. Using an in vitro neurosphere assay for neural stem cell proliferation, we demonstrate that FGF-responsive neural stem cells are present as early as E8.5 in the anterior neural plate, but EGF-responsive neural stem cells emerge later in development in a temporally and spatially specific manner. By separately blocking EGF and FGF2 signaling, we also show that EGF alone and FGF2 alone can independently elicit neural stem cell proliferation and at relatively high cell densities separate cell nonautonomous effects can substantially enhance the mitogen-induced proliferation. At lower cell densities, neural stem cell proliferation is additive in the presence of EGF and FGF2 combined, revealing two different stem cell populations. However, both FGF-responsive and EGF-responsive neural stem cells retain their self-renewal and multilineage potential, regardless of growth factor conditions. These results support a model in which separate, lineage-related EGF- and FGF-responsive neural stem cells are present in the embryonic telencephalic germinal zone. 相似文献

FGF10 signaling maintains the pancreatic progenitor cell state revealing a novel role of Notch in organ development 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
FGF10 plays an important role in the morphogenesis of several tissues by control of mesenchymal-to-epithelial signaling. In the pancreas, mesenchymal FGF10 is required to maintain the Pdx1-expressing epithelial progenitor cell population, and in the absence of FGF10 signaling, these cells fail to proliferate. Ectopic expression of FGF10 in the pancreatic epithelium caused increased proliferation of pancreatic progenitor cells and abrogation of pancreatic cell differentiation of all cell types. A hyperplastic pancreas consisting of undifferentiated cells expressing Pdx1, Nkx6.1, and cell adhesion markers normally characterizing early pancreatic progenitor cells resulted. Differentiation was attenuated even as proliferation of the pancreatic cells slowed during late gestation, suggesting that the trophic effect of FGF10 was independent of its effects upon cell differentiation. The FGF10-positive pancreatic cells expressed Notch1 and Notch2, the Notch-ligand genes Jagged1 and Jagged2, as well as the Notch target gene Hes1. This activation of Notch is distinct from the previously recognized mechanism of lateral inhibition. These data suggest that FGF10 signaling serves to integrate cell growth and terminal differentiation at the level of Notch activation, revealing a novel second role of this key signaling system during pancreatic development. 相似文献

ObjectivesFibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is expressed by somatic cells in the seminiferous tubules, yet little information exists about its role in regulating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs).Materials and Methods Fgf9 overexpression lentivirus was injected into mouse testes, and PLZF immunostaining was performed to investigate the effect of FGF9 on spermatogonia in vivo. Effect of FGF9 on SSCs was detected by transplanting cultured germ cells into tubules of testes. RNA‐seq of bulk RNA and single cell was performed to explore FGF9 working mechanisms. SB203580 was used to disrupt p38 MAPK pathway. p38 MAPK protein expression was detected by Western blot and qPCR was performed to determine different gene expression. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down Etv5 gene expression in germ cells.ResultsOverexpression of Fgf9 in vivo resulted in arrested spermatogenesis and accumulation of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Exposure of germ cell cultures to FGF9 resulted in larger numbers of SSCs over time. Inhibition of p38 MAPK phosphorylation negated the SSC growth advantage provided by FGF9. Etv5 and Bcl6b gene expressions were enhanced by FGF9 treatment. Gene knockdown of Etv5 disrupted the growth effect of FGF9 in cultured SSCs along with downstream expression of Bcl6b.ConclusionsTaken together, these data indicate that FGF9 is an important regulator of SSC proliferation, operating through p38 MAPK phosphorylation and upregulating Etv5 and Bcl6b in turn. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of limb bud formation. In this study, we investigated the role of FGF10 as a lead induction factor for stem cell differentiation toward urothelial cell. To this end, human multipotent stem cell in vitro system was employed. Human amniotic fluid stem cells were co-cultured with immortalized bladder cancer lines to induce directed differentiation into urothelial cells. Urothelial markers, uroplakin II, III, and cytokeratin 8, were monitored by RT-PCR, immunocytochemistry, and Western blot analysis. Co-cultured stem cells began to express uroplakin II, III, and cytokeratin 8. Targeted FGF10 gene knockdown from bladder cancer cells abolished the directed differentiation. In addition, when FGF10 downstream signaling was blocked with the Mek inhibitor, the co-culture system lost the capacity to induce urothelial differentiation. Exogenous addition of recombinant FGF10 protein promoted stem cell differentiation into urothelium cell lineage. Together, this report suggests that paracrine FGF10 signaling stimulates the differentiation of human stem cell into urothelial cells. Current study provides insight into the potential role of FGF10 as a lead growth factor for bladder regeneration and its therapeutic application for bladder transplantation. 相似文献

Variant heparan sulfates synthesized in developing mouse brain differentially regulate FGF signaling

Heparan sulfates (HSs) exert critical regulatory actions on many proteins, including growth factors, and are essential for normal development. Variations in their specific sulfation patterns are known to regulate binding and signaling of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) via tyrosine kinase receptors (FGFRs). We previously reported differences in sulfation patterns between HS species expressed by embryonic day 10 (E10) and E12 mouse neural precursor cells. We have examined the abilities of the different HS species to support signaling of the relevant FGF-FGFR combinations expressed early during brain development. For FGF8, which only functions early (E8-E11), E10 HS showed preferential activation. The most potent signaling for FGF8 was via FGFR3c, for which E10 HS was strongly active and E12 HS had no activity. For FGF2, which functions from E10 to E13, HS from both stages showed similar activity and were more potent at activating FGFR1c than the other receptors. Thus, we find a stage-specific correlation with activation. To explore the potential mechanisms for the generation of these stage-specific HS species, we investigated the expression of the HS sulfotransferase (HSST) isozymes responsible for creating diverse sulfation motifs in HS chains. We find that there are stage-specific combinations of HSST isozymes that could underlie the synthesis of different HS species at E10 and E12. Collectively, these data lead us to propose a model in which differential expression of HSSTs results in the synthesis of variant HS species that form functional signaling complexes with FGFs and FGFRs and orchestrate proliferation and differentiation in the developing brain. 相似文献

FGF receptor 2 isoform IIIb (FGFR2b), originally discovered as a receptor for FGF7, is known to be an important receptor in vertebrate morphogenesis, because FGFR2b null mice exhibit agenesis or dysgenesis of various organs, which undergo budding and branching morphogenesis. Since FGF7 null mice do not exhibit marked defects in organogenesis, it has been considered that other FGF(s) than FGF7 might function as a major ligand for FGFR2b during organogenesis. One of the candidate ligands is FGF10, because FGF10 binds to FGFR2b with high affinity and the formation of the limb and lung is arrested in FGF10 null mice as found in FGFR2b-deficient mice. Previous analyses of FGF10 null mice revealed that FGF10 is required for limb and lung development. To elucidate the role of FGF10 in wide-range organogenesis, we further analyzed the phenotypes of the FGF10 knockout mice. We found diverse phenotypes closely related to those for FGFR2b-deficient mice, which includes the absence of thyroid, pituitary, and salivary glands, while minor defects were observed in the formation of teeth, kidneys, hair follicles, and digestive organs. These results suggest that FGF10 acts as a major ligand for FGFR2b in mouse multi-organ development. 相似文献

Background
Interaction with the surrounding mesenchyme is necessary for development of endodermal organs, and Fibroblast growth factors have recently emerged as mesenchymal-expressed morphogens that direct endodermal morphogenesis. The fibroblast growth factor 10 (Fgf10) null mouse is characterized by the absence of lung bud development. Previous studies have shown that this requirement for Fgf10 is due in part to its role as a chemotactic factor during branching morphogenesis. In other endodermal organs Fgf10 also plays a role in regulating differentiation. 相似文献12.
Null lymphocytes were defined as lymphocytes without detectable T- or B-cell markers using a battery of techniques. The null cell compartment was divided into pre-T cells, pre-B cells, and other null cells based upon their acquisition of membrane markers when incubated with ubiquitin. The null cell subpopulations were remarkably consistent in spleen cell suspensions from young adult mice of various strains. Commitment to T- or B-cell differentiation took place at the null cell stage and did not require thymic input. Pre-T cells, but not pre-B cells, were steroid sensitive. Pre-T cells accumulate with congenital thymic deficiency. This differed from senescent thymodeprivation where the outstanding finding was an accumulation of uninducible null cells. Neonatal mouse spleens were deficient in pre-T and pre-B cells but had an accumulation of uninducible cells. 相似文献

While endogenous Myc (c-myc) and Mycn (N-myc) have been reported to be separately dispensable for murine embryonic stem cell (mESC) function, myc greatly enhances induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell formation and overexpressed c-myc confers LIF-independence upon mESC. To address the role of myc genes in ESC and in pluripotency generally, we conditionally knocked out both c- and N-myc using myc doubly homozygously floxed mESC lines (cDKO). Both lines of myc cDKO mESC exhibited severely disrupted self-renewal, pluripotency, and survival along with enhanced differentiation. Chimeric embryos injected with DKO mESC most often completely failed to develop or in rare cases survived but with severe defects. The essential nature of myc for self-renewal and pluripotency is at least in part mediated through orchestrating pluripotency-related cell cycle and metabolic programs. This study demonstrates that endogenous myc genes are essential for mESC pluripotency and self-renewal as well as providing the first evidence that myc genes are required for early embryogenesis, suggesting potential mechanisms of myc contribution to iPS cell formation. 相似文献

Stem cells surviving radiation injury may carry defects which contribute to long-term effects. The ratio of 125-iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) uptake into spleens of lethally irradiated recipient mice between day 3 and day 5 after cell transfusion revealed reduced proliferative ability (PF) of spleen seeding cells in parallel with reduced CFU-S content of donors throughout the study period of one year after 5 Gy gamma irradiation. Additional data aided in evaluating possible mechanisms of PF reduction. Within the range of the graft sizes used, PF was independent of the numbers of cells or CFU-S transfused. Radiation-induced increase in loss of label between days 3 and 5 and prolonged doubling time of proliferating cells indicated enhancement of cell maturation and increase in mitotic cycle time. Increased IUdR uptake per transfused CFU-S suggested extra divisions of transit cells due to insufficiency in the stem cell compartment. It is concluded that persisting defects in surviving stem cells interfere in a complex way with cell proliferation in the hemopoietic system. 相似文献

The centrosome linker component C‐Nap1 (encoded by CEP250) anchors filaments to centrioles that provide centrosome cohesion by connecting the two centrosomes of an interphase cell into a single microtubule organizing unit. The role of the centrosome linker during development of an animal remains enigmatic. Here, we show that male CEP250 −/− mice are sterile because sperm production is abolished. Premature centrosome separation means that germ stem cells in CEP250 −/− mice fail to establish an E‐cadherin polarity mark and are unable to maintain the older mother centrosome on the basal site of the seminiferous tubules. This failure prompts premature stem cell differentiation in expense of germ stem cell expansion. The concomitant induction of apoptosis triggers the complete depletion of germ stem cells and consequently infertility. Our study reveals a role for centrosome cohesion in asymmetric cell division, stem cell maintenance, and fertility. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is thought to play a role in germ cell behavior. FGF2 has been reported to be a mitogen for primordial germ cells in vitro, whilst combinations of FGF2, steel factor and LIF cause cultured germ cells to transform into permanent lines of pluripotent cells resembling ES cells. However, the actual function of FGF signaling on the migrating germ cells in vivo is unknown. We show, by RT-PCR analysis of cDNA from purified E10.5 germ cells, that germ cells express two FGF receptors: Fgfr1-IIIc and Fgfr2-IIIb. Second, we show that FGF-mediated activation of the MAP kinase pathway occurs in germ cells during their migration, and thus they are potentially direct targets of FGF signaling. Third, we use cultured embryo slices in simple gain-of-function experiments, using FGF ligands, to show that FGF2, a ligand for FGFR1-IIIc, affects motility, whereas FGF7, a ligand for FGFR2-IIIb, affects germ cell numbers. Loss of function, using a specific inhibitor of FGF signaling, causes increased apoptosis and inhibition of cell shape change in the migrating germ cells. Lastly, we confirm in vivo the effects seen in slice cultures in vitro, by examining germ cell positions and numbers in embryos carrying a loss-of-function allele of FGFR2-IIIb. In FGFR2-IIIb(-/-) embryos, germ cell migration is unaffected, but the numbers of germ cells are significantly reduced. These data show that a major role of FGF signaling through FGFR2-IIIb is to control germ cell numbers. The data do not discriminate between direct and indirect effects of FGF signaling on germ cells, and both may be involved. 相似文献

To investigate the regulation of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin stimulating the development of mammary gland, the Kunming mice were used as experimental animals in this study. Through the experiment in vitro, the effect of mammogenic hormones were systematically investigated on expression of FGF7 and FGF10 and their receptor in different periods. The results are as follows: in mammary glands of mice, 17 beta-estradiol increased the expression of FGF7; progesterone did not affect the expression of FGF7; prolactin up-regulated the expression of FGF7 significantly in pregnancy and lactation. 17 beta-estradiol increased the expression of FGF10; progesterone and prolactin reduced the expression of FGF10 significantly in virgin; prolactin significantly increased the expression of FGF10 in pregnancy. When 17 beta-estradiol in the body was in relatively high proportion, it would lower the expression of KGFR; while 17 beta-estradiol in the body was in relatively low proportion, it would increase the expression of KGFR. Low concentration of progesterone increased the expression of KGFR and high progesterone did not affect the expression of KGFR. Prolactin increased the expression of KGFR significantly in pregnancy and lactation. 相似文献
