Developmental expression patterns of mouse sFRP genes encoding members of the secreted frizzled related protein family
Development of the metanephric kidney is an experimental model system to analyze interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells and mesenchymal-epithelial transition. To study the underlying genetic mechanisms we employed organ culture and differential display PCR to identify genes regulated upon induction of mesenchymal cells. One of the genes found encodes the secreted frizzled related...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic gene expression in the developing mouse gonad.
Over the course of a few days, the bipotential embryonic mouse gonad differentiates into either a testis or an ovary. Though a few gene expression differences that underlie gonadal sex differentiation have been identified, additional components of the testicular and ovarian developmental pathways must be identified to understand this process. Here we report the use of a PCR-based cDNA subtracti...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic neurocalcin expression in the developing zebra finch telencephalon.
Differential display RT-PCR was used on RNA isolated from the zebra finch telencephalon to identify gene products potentially involved in its development, including the sexually dimorphic nuclei responsible for song learning and production. A cDNA identified only in juvenile females was cloned and sequenced. It shares homology with neurocalcin, a calcium binding protein. Northern blots indicate...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic gene expression in mouse brain precedes gonadal differentiation.
The classic view of brain sexual differentiation and behavior is that gonadal steroid hormones act directly to promote sex differences in neural and behavioral development. In particular, the actions of testosterone and its metabolites induce a masculine pattern of brain development, while inhibiting feminine neural and behavioral patterns of differentiation. However, recent evidence indicates ...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic expression of Gata-2 during mouse gonad development
We report that Gata-2 is expressed in a sexually dimorphic fashion during mouse gonadogenesis. Gata-2 transcripts accumulate rapidly in the fetal ovary from 11.5 days post coitum (dpc) onwards, but are not detected in the fetal testis throughout the period studied (10.5-15.5 dpc). Ovarian expression of Gata-2 ceases by 15.5 dpc. Examination of ovaries from embryos homozygous for the extreme all...
