Several lines of evidence suggest that GATA6 has an integral role in controlling development of the mammalian liver. Unfortunately, this proposal has been impossible to address directly because mouse embryos lacking GATA6 die during gastrulation. Here we show that the early embryonic deficiency associated with GATA6-knockout mice can be overcome by providing GATA6-null embryos with a wild-type extraembryonic endoderm with the use of tetraploid embryo complementation. Analysis of rescued Gata6-/- embryos revealed that, although hepatic specification occurs normally, the specified cells fail to differentiate and the liver bud does not expand. Although GATA6 is expressed in multiple tissues that impact development of the liver, including the heart, septum transversum mesenchyme, and vasculature, all are relatively unaffected by loss of GATA6, which is consistent with a cell-autonomous requirement for GATA6 during hepatogenesis. We also demonstrate that a closely related GATA factor, GATA4, is expressed transiently in the prehepatic endoderm during hepatic specification and then lost during expansion of the hepatic primordium. Our data support the proposal that GATA4 and GATA6 are functionally redundant during hepatic specification but that GATA6 alone is available for liver bud growth and commitment of the endoderm to a hepatic cell fate. 相似文献

BMP2, like its Drosophila homologue dpp, is an important signaling molecule for specification of cardiogenic mesoderm in vertebrates. Here, we analyzed the time-course of BMP2-requirement for early heart formation in whole chick embryos and in explants of antero-lateral plate mesoderm. Addition of Noggin to explants isolated at stage 4 and cultured for 24 h resulted in loss of NKX2.5, GATA4, eHAND, Mef2A and vMHC expression. At stages 5-8 the individual genes showed differential sensitivity to Noggin addition. While expression of eHAND, NKX2.5 and Mef2A was clearly reduced by Noggin vMHC was only marginally affected. In contrast, GATA4 expression was enhanced after Noggin treatment. The developmental period during which cardiac mesoderm required the presence of BMP signaling in vivo was assessed by implantation of Noggin expressing cells into stage 4-8 embryos which were then cultured until stage 10-11. Complete loss of NKX2.5 and eHAND expression was observed in embryos implanted at stages 4-6, and expression was still suppressed in stages 7 and 8 implanted embryos. GATA4 expression was also blocked by Noggin at stage 4, however increased at stages 5, 6 and 7. Explants of central mesendoderm, that normally do not form heart tissue were employed to study the time-course of BMP2-induced cardiac gene expression. The induction of cardiac lineage markers in central mesendoderm of stage 5 embryos was distinct for different genes. While GATA4, -5, -6 and MEF2A were induced to maximal levels within 6 h after BMP2 addition, eHAND and dHAND required 12 h to reach maximum levels of expression. NKX2.5 was induced by 6 h and accumulated over 48 h. vMHC and titin were induced at significant levels only after 48 h of BMP2 addition. These results indicate that cardiac marker genes display distinct expression kinetics after BMP2 addition and differential response to Noggin treatment suggesting complex regulation of myocardial gene expression in the early tubular heart. 相似文献
