Spalt4 mediates invagination and otic placode gene expression in cranial ectoderm.
Vertebrate placodes are regions of thickened head ectoderm that contribute to paired sensory organs and cranial ganglia. We demonstrate that the transcription factor Spalt4 (also known as Sall4) is broadly expressed in chick preplacodal epiblast and later resolves to otic, lens and olfactory placodes. Ectopic expression of Spalt4 by electroporation is sufficient to induce invagination of non-pl...
متن کاملSprouty gene function in otic placode induction
other ions transepithelially with a suite of pumps and transporters, how these proton-secreting cells (PSCs) arise developmentally is unknown. Here, we identify a cell type in the X. laevis larval that expresses a collection of transporters strikingly similar to those observed in the mammalian kidney, including “kidney”-specific isoforms of the H+V-ATPase and Cl−/HCO3− antiporters related to pe...
متن کاملPax2 and Pea3 synergize to activate a novel regulatory enhancer for spalt4 in the developing ear.
The transcription factor spalt4 is a key early-response gene in otic placode induction. Here, we characterize the cis-regulatory regions of spalt4 responsible for activation of its expression in the developing otic placode and report the isolation of a novel core enhancer. Identification and mutational analysis of putative transcription factor binding sites reveal that Pea3, a downstream effect...
متن کاملA direct role for Fgf but not Wnt in otic placode induction.
Induction of the otic placode, which gives rise to all tissues comprising the inner ear, is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate development. A number of studies indicate that fibroblast growth factor (Fgf), especially Fgf3, is necessary and sufficient for otic induction. However, an alternative model proposes that Fgf must cooperate with Wnt8 to induce otic differentiation. Using a genetic appro...
متن کاملThe first steps towards hearing: mechanisms of otic placode induction.
The entire inner ear, together with the neurons that innervate it, derive from a simple piece of ectoderm on the side of the embryonic head the otic placode. In this review, we describe the current state of the field of otic placode induction. Several lines of evidence suggest that all craniofacial sensory organs, including the inner ear, derive from a common "pre-placodal region" early in deve...
