PARP-1 and ATM are both involved in the response to DNA strand breaks, resulting in induction of a signaling network responsible for DNA surveillance, cellular recovery, and cell survival. ATM interacts with double-strand break repair pathways and induces signals resulting in the control of the cell cycle-coupled checkpoints. PARP-1 acts as a DNA break sensor in the base excision repair pathway of DNA. Mice with mutations inactivating either protein show radiosensitivity and high radiation-induced chromosomal aberration frequencies. Embryos carrying double mutations of both PARP-1 and Atm genes were generated. These mutant embryos show apoptosis in the embryo but not in extraembryonic tissues and die at embryonic day 8.0, although extraembryonic tissues appear normal for up to 10.5 days of gestation. These results reveal a functional synergy between PARP-1 and ATM during a period of embryogenesis when cell cycle checkpoints are not active and the embryo is particularly sensitive to DNA damage. These results suggest that ATM and PARP-1 have synergistic phenotypes due to the effects of these proteins on signaling DNA damage and/or on distinct pathways of DNA repair. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Two extraembryonic tissues form early in Drosophila development. One, the amnioserosa, has been implicated in the morphogenetic processes of germ band retraction and dorsal closure. The developmental role of the other, the yolk sac, is obscure. RESULTS: By using live-imaging techniques, we report intimate interactions between the amnioserosa and the yolk sac during germ band retraction and dorsal closure. These tissue interactions fail in a subset of myospheroid (mys: betaPS integrin) mutant embryos, leading to failure of germ band retraction and dorsal closure. The Drosophila homolog of mammalian basigin (EMMPRIN, CD147)-an integrin-associated transmembrane glycoprotein-is highly enriched in the extraembryonic tissues. Strong dominant genetic interactions between basigin and mys mutations cause severe defects in dorsal closure, consistent with basigin functioning together with betaPS integrin in extraembryonic membrane apposition. During normal development, JNK signaling is upregulated in the amnioserosa, as midgut closure disrupts contact with the yolk sac. Subsequently, the amnioserosal epithelium degenerates in a process that is independent of the reaper, hid, and grim cell death genes. In mys mutants that fail to establish contact between the extraembryonic membranes, the amnioserosa undergoes premature disintegration and death. CONCLUSIONS: Intimate apposition of the amnioserosa and yolk sac prevents anoikis of the amnioserosa. Survival of the amnioserosa is essential for germ band retraction and dorsal closure. We hypothesize that during normal development, loss of integrin-dependent contact between the extraembryonic tissues results in JNK-dependent amnioserosal disintegration and death, thus representing an example of developmentally programmed anoikis. 相似文献

Three human DNA sequences have been cloned from DNA regions which are strikingly undermethylated in sperm, highly methylated in adult somatic tissues, and methylated to an intermediate extent in tissues of extraembryonic origin. It is proposed that some such DNA sequences may function specifically early in embryogenesis or during gametogenesis. They may be subsequently extensively methylated in the embryonic cell lineage and methylated to a lesser extent in extraembryonic tissues in order to allow embryogenesis to proceed. 相似文献

Although extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), which scavenges the superoxide anion in extracellular spaces, has previously been implicated in the prenatal pulmonary response to oxidative stress in the developing lungs, little is currently known regarding the schematic expression pattern and the roles played by EC-SOD during embryogenesis. In an effort to characterize the pattern of EC-SOD expression during mouse organogenesis, quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting, and in situ hybridization analyses were conducted in mouse embryos and extraembryonic tissues including placenta on embryonic days (Eds) 7.5-18.5. EC-SOD mRNA and protein were expressed in all the embryos and extraembryonic tissues examined. The mRNA level was higher in the embryos than the extraembryonic tissues on Eds 7.5-10.5, but after Ed 13.5, it evidenced an increasing pattern in the extraembryonic tissues. EC-SOD immunoreactivity also increased in the extraembryonic tissues after Ed 13.5. During organogenesis, EC-SOD mRNA was expressed principally in the ectoplacental cone, amnion, and neural ectoderm on Ed 7.5 and in the neural folds and primitive streak on Ed 8.5. On Eds 9.5-12.5, EC-SOD mRNA was expressed abundantly in the nervous tissues and forelimb and hindlimb buds. On Eds 13.5-18.5, EC-SOD mRNA was observed at high levels in the airway epithelium of lung, liver, the intestinal epithelium, skin, vibrissae, the metanephric corpuscle of kidney, the nasal cavity, and the labyrinth trophoblast, spongiotrophoblast, and blood cells in placenta. Our overall results indicate that EC-SOD is expressed spatiotemporally in developing embryos and surrounding extraembryonic tissues during mouse organogenesis, thus suggesting that EC-SOD may be relevant to organogenesis, playing the role of an antioxidant enzyme against endogenous and exogenous oxygen stresses. 相似文献

Yolk sac and placenta are required to sustain embryonic development in mammals, yet our understanding of the genes and processes that control morphogenesis of these extraembryonic tissues is still limited. The chato mutation disrupts ZFP568, a Krüppel-Associated-Box (KRAB) domain Zinc finger protein, and causes a unique set of extraembryonic malformations, including ruffling of the yolk sac membrane, defective extraembryonic mesoderm morphogenesis and vasculogenesis, failure to close the ectoplacental cavity, and incomplete placental development. Phenotypic analysis of chato embryos indicated that ZFP568 does not control proliferation or differentiation of extraembryonic lineages but rather regulates the morphogenetic events that shape extraembryonic tissues. Analysis of chimeric embryos showed that Zfp568 function is required in embryonic-derived lineages, including the extraembryonic mesoderm. Depleting Zfp568 affects the ability of extraembryonic mesoderm cells to migrate. However, explanted Zfp568 mutant cells could migrate properly when plated on appropriate extracellular matrix conditions. We show that expression of Fibronectin and Indian Hedgehog are reduced in chato mutant yolk sacs. These data suggest that ZFP568 controls the production of secreted factors required to promote morphogenesis of extraembryonic tissues. Our results support previously undescribed roles of the extraembryonic mesoderm in yolk sac morphogenesis and in the closure of the ectoplacental cavity and identify a novel role of ZFP568 in the development of extraembryonic tissues. 相似文献

The balance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defense enzymes in embryos is necessary for normal embryogenesis. To determine the dynamic expression profile of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in embryos, which is an essential antioxidant enzyme in embryonic organogenesis, the expression level and distribution of MnSOD mRNA and protein were investigated in mouse embryos, as well as extraembryonic tissues on embryonic days (EDs) 7.5-18.5. MnSOD mRNA levels were remarkably high in extraembryonic tissues rather than in embryos during these periods. MnSOD protein levels were also higher in extraembryonic tissues than in embryos until ED 16.5, but the opposite trend was found after ED 17.5. MnSOD mRNA was observed in the chorion, allantois, amnion, ectoderm, ectoplacental cone and neural fold at ED 7.5 and in the neural fold, gut, ectoplacental cone, outer extraembryonic membranes and primitive heart at ED 8.5. After removing the extraembryonic tissues, the prominent expression of MnSOD mRNA in embryos was seen in the sensory organs, central nervous system and limbs on EDs 9.5-12.5 and in the ganglia, spinal cord, sensory organ epithelia, lung, blood cells and vessels, intestinal and skin epithelia, hepatocytes and thymus on EDs 13.5-18.5. Strong MnSOD immunoreactivity was observed in the choroid plexus, ganglia, myocardium, blood vessels, heapatocytes, pancreatic acinus, osteogenic tissues, brown adipose tissue, thymus and skin. These findings suggest that MnSOD is mainly produced from extraembryonic tissues and then may be utilized to protect the embryos against endogenous or exogenous oxidative stress during embryogenesis. 相似文献

We characterized gap junctional communication in the extraembryonic tissues of the 7.5-d gastrulating mouse embryo. At this stage of development, the extraembryonic tissues form a large part of the conceptus, and link the embryo proper to the maternal tissue. Using Lucifer yellow injections, cells in most extraembryonic tissues were observed to be very well dye coupled, the only exception being the peripheral regions of the ectoplacental cone. Of particular interest was the fact that no dye coupling was detected between the three major extraembryonic tissues. Thus, the extraembryonic ectoderm (EEC), the extraembryonic endoderm (EEN), and the ectoplacental cone (EPC) corresponded to separate communication compartments, with the EPC being further subdivided into three compartments. Interestingly, the EEN was observed to exhibit a very low level of dye coupling with the adjacent visceral embryonic endoderm (EN), and consistent with the latter dye coupling results was the finding that the EEN was ionically coupled to the EN, but not with any other extraembryonic tissues. However, in the EPC, ionic coupling studies show that the central region was well coupled ionically to the EEC, but only weakly coupled to the peripheral EPC. These findings, in conjunction with our previous study (1988. J. Cell Biol. 107:241-255), demonstrate that the 7.5-d mouse conceptus is subdivided into at least nine major Lucifer yellow-delineated communication compartments, with ionic coupling across some of these compartments effectively unifying the embryo into two large domains corresponding to the embryo proper and the major extraembryonic tissues. 相似文献

The great majority of embryos generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) display defined abnormal phenotypes after implantation, such as an increased likelihood of death and abnormal placentation. To gain better insight into the underlying mechanisms, we analyzed genome-wide gene expression profiles of day 6.5 postimplantation mouse embryos cloned from three different cell types (cumulus cells, neonatal Sertoli cells and fibroblasts). The embryos retrieved from the uteri were separated into embryonic (epiblast) and extraembryonic (extraembryonic ectoderm and ectoplacental cone) tissues and were subjected to gene microarray analysis. Genotype- and sex-matched embryos produced by in vitro fertilization were used as controls. Principal component analysis revealed that whereas the gene expression patterns in the embryonic tissues varied according to the donor cell type, those in extraembryonic tissues were relatively consistent across all groups. Within each group, the embryonic tissues had more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (>2-fold vs. controls) than did the extraembryonic tissues (P<1.0×10–26). In the embryonic tissues, one of the common abnormalities was upregulation of Dlk1, a paternally imprinted gene. This might be a potential cause of the occasional placenta-only conceptuses seen in SCNT-generated mouse embryos (1–5% per embryos transferred in our laboratory), because dysregulation of the same gene is known to cause developmental failure of embryos derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. There were also some DEGs in the extraembryonic tissues, which might explain the poor development of SCNT-derived placentas at early stages. These findings suggest that SCNT affects the embryonic and extraembryonic development differentially and might cause further deterioration in the embryonic lineage in a donor cell-specific manner. This could explain donor cell-dependent variations in cloning efficiency using SCNT. 相似文献

BMP receptor IA is required in the mammalian embryo for endodermal morphogenesis and ectodermal patterning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BMPRIA is a receptor for bone morphogenetic proteins with high affinity for BMP2 and BMP4. Mouse embryos lacking Bmpr1a fail to gastrulate, complicating studies on the requirements for BMP signaling in germ layer development. Recent work shows that BMP4 produced in extraembryonic tissues initiates gastrulation. Here we use a conditional allele of Bmpr1a to remove BMPRIA only in the epiblast, which gives rise to all embryonic tissues. Resulting embryos are mosaics composed primarily of cells homozygous null for Bmpr1a, interspersed with heterozygous cells. Although mesoderm and endoderm do not form in Bmpr1a null embryos, these tissues are present in the mosaics and are populated with mutant cells. Thus, BMPRIA signaling in the epiblast does not restrict cells to or from any of the germ layers. Cells lacking Bmpr1a also contribute to surface ectoderm; however, from the hindbrain forward, little surface ectoderm forms and the forebrain is enlarged and convoluted. Prechordal plate, early definitive endoderm, and anterior visceral endoderm appear to be expanded, likely due to defective morphogenesis. These data suggest that the enlarged forebrain is caused in part by increased exposure of the ectoderm to signaling sources that promote anterior neural fate. Our results reveal critical roles for BMP signaling in endodermal morphogenesis and ectodermal patterning. 相似文献

In recent years the multipotent extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) stem cells have been the center of much attention. In vivo, XEN cells contribute to the formation of the extraembryonic endoderm, visceral and parietal endoderm and later on, the yolk sac. Recent data have shown that the distinction between embryonic and extraembryonic endoderm is not as strict as previously thought due to the integration, and not the displacement, of the visceral endoderm into the definitive embryonic endoderm. Therefore, cells from the extraembryonic endoderm also contribute to definitive endoderm. Many research groups focused on unraveling the potential and ability of XEN cells to both support differentiation and/or differentiate into endoderm‐like tissues as an alternative to embryonic stem (ES) cells. Moreover, the conversion of ES to XEN cells, shown recently without genetic manipulations, uncovers significant and novel molecular mechanisms involved in extraembryonic endoderm and definitive endoderm development. XEN cell lines provide a unique model for an early mammalian lineage that complements the established ES and trophoblast stem cell lines. Through the study of essential genes and signaling requirements for XEN cells in vitro, insights will be gained about the developmental program of the extraembryonic and embryonic endodermal lineage in vivo. This review will provide an overview on the current literature focusing on XEN cells as a model for primitive endoderm and possibly definitive endoderm as well as the potential of using these cells for therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Imprint switching for non-random X-chromosome inactivation during mouse oocyte growth 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In mammals, X-chromosome inactivation occurs in all female cells, leaving only a single active X chromosome. This serves to equalise the dosage of X-linked genes in male and female cells. In the mouse, the paternally derived X chromosome (X(P)) is imprinted and preferentially inactivated in the extraembryonic tissues whereas in the embryonic tissues inactivation is random. To investigate how X(P) is chosen as an inactivated X chromosome in the extraembryonic cells, we have produced experimental embryos by serial nuclear transplantation from non-growing (ng) oocytes and fully grown (fg) oocytes, in which the X chromosomes are marked with (1) an X-linked lacZ reporter gene to assay X-chromosome activity, or (2) the Rb(X.9)6H translocation as a cytogenetic marker for studying replication timing. In the extraembryonic tissues of these ng/fg embryos, the maternal X chromosome (X(M)) derived from the ng oocyte was preferentially inactivated whereas that from the fg oocyte remained active. However, in the embryonic tissues, X inactivation was random. This suggests that (1) a maternal imprint is set on the X(M) during oocyte growth, (2) the maternal imprint serves to render the X(M) resistant to inactivation in the extraembryonic tissues and (3) the X(M) derived from an ng oocyte resembles a normal X(P). 相似文献

Conceptus (embryo and associated extraembryonic membranes) implantation and development require a reciprocal biochemical and physical interactions between the extraembryonic membranes and the endometrium. However, the enzymatic antioxidative pathways controlling reactive oxygen species production at the endometrial-extraembryonic membrane interface early in pregnancy are not known. We aimed therefore to determine the content of malondialdehyde, as biomarkers of lipid peroxidation, and the activities of the major antioxidant enzymes, copper-zinc containing and manganese containing superoxide dismutases, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, in sheep extraembryonic membranes, caruncular and intercaruncular endometrium zones sampled at specific stages of pregnancy corresponding to the conceptus implantation (day 16) and the early post-implantation period (day 21). Malondialdehyde content in caruncular, intercaruncular and extraembryonic tissues was not different between stages of the pregnancy. Extraembryonic membranes demonstrated increased manganese containing superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, whereas catalase activity in these tissues decreased from day 16 to day 21. Caruncular tissues demonstrated increased manganese containing superoxide dismutase activity from day 16 to day 21. Intercaruncular tissues demonstrated increased copper-zinc containing superoxide dismutase, manganese containing superoxide dismutase and catalase activities from day 16 to day 21. The ovine extraembryonic membranes exhibit dynamic changes in enzymatic antioxidative pathways different from those of endometrial tissues during the transition from implantation to post-implantation period. This biochemical data provides novel insights into the developmental changes in antioxidative pathways of extraembryonic membranes and endometrium during early conceptus development. 相似文献

The frequencies of autosomal trisomies in extraembryonic human tissues were estimated in the cases of different abnormalities of prenatal development, from the confined placental mosaicism (CPM) with either relatively normal embryogenesis or restricted intrauterine growth to spontaneous abortion. A tissue-specific compartmentalization was found to be characteristic of cell lines with trisomies for individual autosomes. Analysis of various phenotypical effects of chromosomal aberrations associated with mosaicism is necessarily required to understand the mechanisms and factors responsible for tissue chromosomal mosaicism. Based on analysis of the cell karyotype during prenatal diagnosing of chromosome aberrations in tissues of both extraembryonic and embryonic origin, in 1996, Wolstenholme proposed a model of CPM for individual chromosomes. According to the model, the distribution of cell lines with autosomal trisomies between extraembryonic tissues depends on the ratio between meiotic and mitotic mutations early in embryonic development. However, the model cannot be used to study tissue chromosomal mosaicism in spontaneous abortions, because little information is available on cell karyotype in embryonic tissues themselves after intrauterine fetal death. In this work, a model of tissue-specific chromosomal mosaicism was suggested based on the data on cell karyotype determined in extraembryonic tissues alone, which can be helpful in evaluating the contribution of tissue chromosomal differences into the etiology of early intrauterine death. Along with the experimental evidence, comparative analysis of the two models indicated that the meiotic chromosome nondisjunction plays the major role in trisomy formation and the resultant spontaneous arrest of embryonic development. Other factors responsible for tissue-specific distribution of chromosomal aberrations are also discussed. These are differences in cell proliferative activity, as well as changes in compartmentalization and migration of cells with abnormal karyotypes. 相似文献
