Follistatin regulates the relative proportions of endocrine versus exocrine tissue during pancreatic development.
In this study, we have investigated the role of the embryonic mesenchyme in the development of the pancreas. We have compared the development in vitro of E12.5 rat pancreatic rudiments grown in the presence or absence of mesenchyme. When the E12.5 pancreatic epithelial rudiment is cultured in the presence of its surrounding mesenchyme, both morphogenesis and cytodifferentiation of the exocrine ...
متن کاملRac-1 and IQGAP are potential regulators of E-cadherin–catenin interactions during murine preimplantation development
Adherens junction formation is fundamental for compaction and trophectoderm differentiation during mammalian preimplantation development. We recently isolated an IQGAP-2 cDNA from a differential display-polymerase chain reaction screen of bovine preimplantation developmental stages. IQGAP-1 and -2 proteins mediate E-cadherin-based cell-to-cell adhesion through interactions with beta-catenin and...
متن کاملE-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The efficient secretion of insulin from beta-cells requires extensive intra-islet communication. The cell surface adhesion protein epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) establishes and maintains epithelial tissues such as the islets of Langerhans. In this study, the role of ECAD in regulating insulin secretion from pseudoislets was investigated. METHODS The effect of an immuno-neutra...
متن کاملChanges in corneal collagen architecture during mouse postnatal development.
PURPOSE To characterize changes in corneal collagen arrangement during mouse postnatal development. METHODS Small-angle X-ray scatter patterns were gathered from the centers of 32 excised mice corneas aged between postnatal days 10 (before eye opening) and 28 (onset of sexual maturity). These were analyzed to produce measurements of the average separation distance between corneal collagen fib...
متن کاملKey apoptosis regulating proteins are down-regulated during postnatal tissue development.
The intrinsic apoptotic pathway is essential for murine development. We have previously shown that key mediators of this pathway, such as Bim, Apaf-1 and caspase-3, are down-regulated during the postnatal development of the retina. In this study, we demonstrate that this expression pattern is a feature of other distinct tissues such as the brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Caspase-9 expression ...
