FGF signaling is required during multiple stages of inner ear development in many different vertebrates, where it is involved in induction of the otic placode, in formation and morphogenesis of the otic vesicle as well as for cellular differentiation within the sensory epithelia. In this study we have looked to define the redundant and conserved roles of FGF3, FGF8 and FGF10 during the development of the murine and avian inner ear. In the mouse, hindbrain-derived FGF10 ectopically induces FGF8 and rescues otic vesicle formation in Fgf3 and Fgf10 homozygous double mutants. Conditional inactivation of Fgf8 after induction of the placode does not interfere with otic vesicle formation and morphogenesis but affects cellular differentiation in the inner ear. In contrast, inactivation of Fgf8 during induction of the placode in a homozygous Fgf3 null background leads to a reduced size otic vesicle or the complete absence of otic tissue. This latter phenotype is more severe than the one observed in mutants carrying null mutations for both Fgf3 and Fgf10 that develop microvesicles. However, FGF3 and FGF10 are redundantly required for morphogenesis of the otic vesicle and the formation of semicircular ducts. In the chicken embryo, misexpression of Fgf3 in the hindbrain induces ectopic otic vesicles in vivo. On the other hand, Fgf3 expression in the hindbrain or pharyngeal endoderm is required for formation of the otic vesicle from the otic placode. Together these results provide important insights into how the spatial and temporal expression of various FGFs controls different steps of inner ear formation during vertebrate development. 相似文献

Inner ear develops from an induced surface ectoderm placode that invaginates and closes to form the otic vesicle, which then undergoes a complex morphogenetic process to form the membranous labyrinth. Inner ear morphogenesis is severely affected in Gata3 deficient mouse embryos, but the onset and basis of the phenotype has not been known. We show here that Gata3 deficiency leads to severe and unique abnormalities during otic placode invagination. The invagination problems are accompanied often by the formation of a morphological boundary between the dorsal and ventral otic cup and by the precocious appearance of dorsal endolymphatic characteristics. In addition, the endolymphatic domain often detaches from the rest of the otic epithelium during epithelial closure. The expression of several cell adhesion mediating genes is altered in Gata3 deficient ears suggesting that Gata3 controls adhesion and morphogenetic movements in early otic epithelium. Inactivation of Gata3 leads also to a loss of Fgf10 expression in otic epithelium and auditory ganglion demonstrating that Gata3 is an important regulator of Fgf-signalling during otic development. 相似文献

In the inner ear, Notch signaling has been proposed to specify the sensory regions, as well as regulate the differentiation of hair cells and supporting cell within those regions. In addition, Notch plays an important role in otic neurogenesis, by determining which cells differentiate as neurons, sensory cells and non-sensory cells. Here, I review the evidence for the complex and myriad roles Notch participates in during inner ear development. A particular challenge for those studying ear development and Notch is to decipher how activation of a single pathway can lead to different outcomes within the ear, which may include changes in the intrinsic properties of the cell, Notch modulation, and potential non-canonical pathways. 相似文献

The fate specification of the developing vertebrate inner ear could be determined by complex regulatory genetic pathways involving the Pax2/5/8 genes. Pax2 expression has been reported in the otic placode and vesicle of all vertebrates that have been studied. Loss-of-function experiments suggest that the Pax2 gene plays a key role in the development of the cochlear duct and acoustic ganglion. Despite all these data, the role of Pax2 gene in the specification of the otic epithelium is still only poorly defined. In the present work, we report a detailed study of the spatial and temporal Pax2 expression patterns during the development of the chick inner ear. In the period analysed, Pax2 is expressed only in some presumptive sensory patches, but not all, even though all sensory patches show the scattered Pax2 expression pattern later on. We also show that Pax2 is also expressed in several non-sensory structures. 相似文献

The inner ear develops from an ectodermal placode that is specified by inductive signals from the adjacent neurectoderm and underlying mesoderm. In chick, fibroblast growth factor (Fgf)-19 is expressed in mesoderm underlying the presumptive otic placode, and human FGF19 induces expression of otic markers in a tissue explant containing neural plate and surface ectoderm. We show here that mouse Fgf15 is the sequence homolog of chick and human Fgf19/FGF19. In addition, we show that FGF15, like FGF19, is sufficient to induce expression of otic markers in a chick explant assay, suggesting that these FGFs are orthologs. Mouse embryos lacking Fgf15, however, do not have otic abnormalities at E9.5-E10.5, suggesting that Fgf15 is not uniquely required for otic induction or early patterning of the otocyst. To compare FGF15 and FGF19 signaling components and assess where signals potentially redundant with FGF15 might function, we determined the expression patterns of Fgf15 and Fgf19. Unlike Fgf19, Fgf15 is not expressed in mesoderm underlying the presumptive otic placode, but is expressed in the adjacent neurectoderm. Fgfr4, which encodes the likely receptor for both FGF19 and FGF15, is expressed in the neurectoderm of both species, and is also expressed in the mesoderm only in chick. These results suggest the hypotheses that during otic induction, FGF19 signals in either an autocrine fashion to the mesoderm or a paracrine fashion to the neurectoderm, whereas FGF15 signals in an autocrine fashion to the neurectoderm. Thus, the FGFs that signal to the neurectoderm are the best potential candidates for redundancy with FGF15 during mouse otic development. 相似文献

The hindbrain and cranial paraxial mesoderm have been implicated in the induction and patterning of the inner ear, but the precise role of the two tissues in these processes is still not clear. We have addressed these questions using the vitamin-A-deficient (VAD) quail model, in which VAD embryos lack the posterior half of the hindbrain that normally lies next to the inner ear. Using a battery of molecular markers, we show that the anlagen of the inner ear, the otic placode, is induced in VAD embryos in the absence of the posterior hindbrain. By performing grafting and ablation experiments in chick embryos, we also show that cranial paraxial mesoderm which normally lies beneath the presumptive otic placode is necessary for otic placode induction and that paraxial mesoderm from other locations cannot induce the otic placode. Two members of the fibroblast growth factor family, FGF3 and FGF19, continue to be expressed in this mesodermal population in VAD embryos, and these may be responsible for otic placode induction in the absence of the posterior hindbrain. Although the posterior hindbrain is not required for otic placode induction in VAD embryos, the subsequent patterning of the inner ear is severely disrupted. Several regional markers of the inner ear, such as Pax2, EphA4, SOHo1 and Wnt3a, are incorrectly expressed in VAD otocysts, and the sensory patches and vestibulo-acoustic ganglia are either greatly reduced or absent. Exogenous application of retinoic acid prior to 30 h of development is able rescue the VAD phenotype. By performing such rescue experiments before and after 30 h of development, we show that the inner ear defects of VAD embryos correlate with the absence of the posterior hindbrain. These results show that induction and patterning of the inner ear are governed by separate developmental processes that can be experimentally uncoupled from each other. 相似文献

Members of the FGF family play diverse roles in patterning, cell proliferation and differentiation during embryogenesis. To begin to address their function during craniofacial development we have analyzed the expression of 18 members of the Fgf family (Fgf1-15, -17, -18 and -20) and the four members of the FGF-receptor family in the prospective midfacial region between E9.5 and E11.5 by whole-mount in situ hybridization. We show that at E9.5, Fgf3, -8, -9, -10 and -17 are broadly expressed in midfacial ectoderm. Concomitant with the outgrowth of the nasal processes at E10.5, expression of Fgf3, -8, -9, -10, -15, -17 and -18 was detected in spatially restricted regions of ectoderm at the edge of the nasal pit and at the oral edge of the medial nasal process. Expression of Fgf8, Fgf9, Fgf10 and Fgf17 was still observed in these domains at E11.5. In contrast to the restricted expression patterns of the ligands, FgfR1 and FgfR2 were broadly expressed in facial mesenchyme and ectoderm, respectively, indicating a wide competence of midfacial tissue to respond to FGF signaling. 相似文献

Members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) gene family control formation of the body plan and organogenesis in vertebrates. FGF3 is expressed in the developing hindbrain and has been shown to be involved in inner ear development of different vertebrate species, including zebrafish, Xenopus, chick and mouse. In the mouse, insertion of a neomycin resistance gene into the Fgf3 gene via homologous recombination results in severe developmental defects during differentiation of the otic vesicle. We have addressed the precise roles of FGF3 and other FGF family members during formation of the murine inner ear using both loss- and gain-of-function experiments. We generated a new mutant allele lacking the entire FGF3-coding region but surprisingly found no evidence for severe defects either during inner ear development or in the mature sensory organ, suggesting the functional involvement of other FGF family members during its formation. Ectopic expression of FGF10 in the developing hindbrain of transgenic mice leads to the formation of ectopic vesicles, expressing some otic marker genes and thus indicating a role for FGF10 during otic vesicle formation. Expression analysis of FGF10 during mouse embryogenesis reveals a highly dynamic pattern of expression in the developing hindbrain, partially overlapping with FGF3 expression and coinciding with formation of the inner ear. However, FGF10 mutant mice have been reported to display only mild defects during inner ear differentiation. We thus created double mutant mice for FGF3 and FGF10, which form severely reduced otic vesicles, suggesting redundant roles of these FGFs, acting in combination as neural signals for otic vesicle formation. 相似文献

The difference in time course of Ras and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade by different growth factors is considered to be the cause of different cellular responses. We have developed the computer simulation of Ras-MAPK signal transduction pathway containing newly identified negative feedback system, Sprouty, and adaptor molecules. Unexpectedly, negative feedback system did not profoundly affect time course of MAPK activation. We propose the key role of fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2) in NGF/FGF pathway for sustained MAPK activation. More Grb2-SOS complexes were recruited to the plasma membrane by binding to membrane-bound FRS2 in FGF pathway than in EGF pathway and caused sustained activation of ERK. The EGF pathway with high concentration of EGF receptor also induced sustained MAPK activation, which is consistent with the results in the PC12 cell overexpressing the EGF receptors. The simulated time courses of FRS2 knock-out cells were consistent with those of the reported experimental results. 相似文献

Summary The role of protein kinase C (PKC). during the early development of the inner ear was investigated using organ culture techniques. Otocysts isolated from chick embryos were made quiescent by culturing in the absence of serum for 24 h. The normal process of development could be reactivated by restoration of serum and other growth factors. Addition of phorbol ester (TPA) or synthetic diacylglycerol (OAG) to serum-free medium was also effective in reactivating development and stimulation of DNA synthesis was 41% and 52% of that of serum, respectively. Insulin potentiated the effects of TPA and OAG but had no effect when present alone. Morphogenesis and the associated cell proliferation stimulated by either serum or PKC activation were both inhibited by sphingosine, an in vitro inhibitor of PKC. Inhibition by sphingosine was dose-dependent with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of about 10 M. The results suggest that PKC activation is an essential step in controlling proliferative growth during early stages of the development of the inner ear. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 16 (FGF-16) expression has previously been detected in mouse heart at mid-gestation in the endocardium and epicardium, suggesting a role in embryonic heart development. More specifically, exogenously applied FGF-16 has been shown to stimulate growth of embryonic myocardial cells in tissue explants. We have generated mice lacking FGF-16 by targeting the Fgf16 locus on the X chromosome. Elimination of Fgf16 expression resulted in embryonic death as early as day 11.5 (E11.5). External abnormalities, including hemorrhage in the heart and ventral body region as well as facial defects, began to appear in null embryos from E11.5. Morphological analysis of FGF-16 null hearts revealed cardiac defects including chamber dilation, thinning of the atrial and ventricular walls, and poor trabeculation, which were visible at E10.5 and more pronounced at E11.5. These findings indicate FGF-16 is required for embryonic heart development in mid-gestation through its positive effect on myocardial growth. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-4 can induce proliferation of cardiac cushion mesenchymal cells during early valve leaflet formation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

While much has been learned about how endothelial cells transform to mesenchyme during cardiac cushion formation, there remain fundamental questions about the developmental fate of cushions. In the present work, we focus on the growth and development of cushion mesenchyme. We hypothesize that proliferative expansion and distal elongation of cushion mesenchyme mediated by growth factors are the basis of early valve leaflet formation. As a first step to test this hypothesis, we have localized fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-4 protein in cushion mesenchymal cells at the onset of prevalve leaflet formation in chick embryos (Hamburger and Hamilton stage 20-25). Ligand distribution was correlated with FGF receptor (FGFR) expression. In situ hybridization data indicated that FGFR3 mRNA was confined to the endocardial rim of the atrioventricular (AV) cushion pads, whereas FGFR2 was expressed exclusively in cushion mesenchymal cells. FGFR1 expression was detected in both endocardium and cushion mesenchyme as well as in myocardium. To determine whether the FGF pathways play regulatory roles in cushion mesenchymal cell proliferation and elongation into prevalvular structure, FGF-4 protein was added to the cushion mesenchymal cells explanted from stage 24-25 chick embryos. A significant increase in proliferative ability was strongly suggested in FGF-4-treated mesenchymal cells as judged by the incorporation of 5'-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). To determine whether cushion cells responded similarly in vivo, a replication-defective retrovirus encoding FGF-4 with the reporter, bacterial beta-galactosidase was microinjected into stage 18 chick cardiac cushion mesenchyme along the inner curvature where AV and outflow cushions converge. As compared with vector controls, overexpression of FGF-4 clearly induced expansion of cushion mesenchyme toward the lumen. To further test the proliferative effect of FGF-4 in cardiac cushion expansion in vivo (ovo), FGF-4 protein was microinjected into stage 18 chick inner curvature. An assay for BrdU incorporation indicated a significant increase in proliferative ability in FGF-4 microinjected cardiac cushion mesenchyme as compared with BSA-microinjected controls. Together, these results suggest a role of FGF-4 for cardiac valve leaflet formation through proliferative expansion of cushion mesenchyme. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 produced by the bone is the principal hormone to regulate serum phosphate level. Serum FGF23 needs to be tightly regulated to maintain serum phosphate in a narrow range. Thus, we hypothesized that the bone has some phosphate-sensing mechanism to regulate the production of FGF23. Previously we showed that extracellular phosphate induces the phosphorylation of FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) and FGFR1 signaling regulates the expression of Galnt3, whose product works to increase FGF23 production in vitro. In this study, we show the significance of FGFR1 in the regulated FGF23 production and serum phosphate level in vivo. We generated late-osteoblast/osteocyte-specific Fgfr1-knockout mice (Fgfr1fl/fl; OcnCre/+) by crossing the Ocn-Cre and the floxed Fgfr1 mouse lines. We evaluated serum phosphate and FGF23 levels, the expression of Galnt3 in the bone, the body weight and life span. A selective ablation of Fgfr1 aborted the increase of serum active full-length FGF23 and the enhanced expression of Galnt3 in the bone by a high phosphate diet. These mice showed more pronounced hyperphosphatemia compared with control mice. In addition, these mice fed with a control diet showed body weight loss after 23 weeks of age and shorter life span. These results reveal a novel significance of FGFR1 signaling in the phosphate metabolism and normal life span. 相似文献

The overall goal was to describe the importance of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) during development of the bovine embryo. An inhibitor of FGF receptor kinase activity (SU5402) was used to examine whether FGF signaling is required for embryo development. Addition of 20 μM SU5402 on Day 0 (Day of IVF) reduced (P = 0.04) the percentage of oocytes becoming blastocysts on Day 7 compared to controls (5.9 ± 2.1 vs 16.9 ± 2.4; average ± SEM). Also, Day-8 blastocysts placed into individual culture drops of medium containing SU5402 tended to have decreased (P = 0.08) blastomere numbers at Day 11 (211.1 ± 27.5 vs 297.8 ± 25.0). A second series of studies determined if supplemental FGF2 enhances development in vitro. There was no effect of FGF2 on cleavage or blastocyst development rates when 5 or 100 ng/mL FGF2 was provided immediately after fertilization. Also, FGF2 supplementation beginning on Day 5 post-fertilization did not significantly affect blastocyst rates or the number of trophoblast and inner cell mass cells. However, addition of 500 ng/mL FGF2 at both Day 0 and Day 4 increased (P = 0.03) the percentage of oocytes that became blastocysts on Day 7 compared with controls (27.4 ± 1.3 vs 19.7 ± 1.3). In a final study, the thermal-protective ability of FGF2 was examined by adding FGF2 1 h before exposing Day 5 embryos to heat shock. Addition of FGF2 did not significantly influence embryo thermal-tolerance. In conclusion, FGF receptor activation was important for optimal blastocyst formation and FGF2 supplementation increased bovine blastocyst formation when provided at high concentrations. 相似文献

Sparc (Osteonectin) functions in morphogenesis of the pharyngeal skeleton and inner ear 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Sparc (Osteonectin), a matricellular glycoprotein expressed by many differentiated cells, is a major non-collagenous constituent of vertebrate bones. Recent studies indicate that Sparc expression appears early in development, although its function and regulation during embryogenesis are largely unknown. We cloned zebrafish sparc and investigated its role during development, using a mo rpholino antisense oligonucleotide-based knockdown approach. Consistent with its strong expression in the otic vesicle and developing pharyngeal cartilages, knockdown of Sparc function resulted in specific inner ear and cartilage defects that are highlighted by changes in gene expression, morphology and behavior. We rescued the knockdown phenotypes by co-injecting sparc mRNA, providing evidence that the knockdown phenotype is due specifically to impairment of Sparc function. A comparison of the phenotypes of Sparc knockdown and known zebrafish mutants with similar defects places Sparc downstream of sox9 in the genetic network that regulates development of the pharyngeal skeleton and inner ear of vertebrates. 相似文献
