BMP signaling and early embryonic patterning.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play pleiotropic roles during embryonic development as well as throughout life. Recent genetic approaches especially using the mouse gene knockout system revealed that BMP signaling is greatly involved in early embryonic patterning, which is a dynamic event to establish three-dimensional polarities. The purpose of this review is to describe the diverse function of BMPs through different receptor signaling systems during embryonic patterning including gastrulation and establishment of the left-right asymmetry.

Syndecan-1 regulates BMP signaling and dorso-ventral patterning of the ectoderm during early Xenopus development.
Extracellular regulation of growth factor signaling is a key event for embryonic patterning. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are among the molecules that regulate this signaling during embryonic development. Here we study the function of syndecan1 (Syn1), a cell-surface HSPG expressed in the non-neural ectoderm during early development of Xenopus embryos. Overexpression of Xenopus Syn1 (xS...
متن کاملNotch-Wnt-Bmp crosstalk regulates radial patterning in the mouse cochlea in a spatiotemporal manner.
The sensory cells of the mammalian organ of Corti assume a precise mosaic arrangement during embryonic development. Manipulation of Wnt signaling can modulate the proliferation of cochlear progenitors, but whether Wnts are responsible for patterning compartments, or specific hair cells within them, is unclear. To address how the precise timing of Wnt signaling impacts patterning across the radi...
متن کاملTwisted gastrulation promotes BMP signaling in zebrafish dorsal-ventral axial patterning.
In vertebrates and invertebrates, the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway patterns cell fates along the dorsoventral (DV) axis. In vertebrates, BMP signaling specifies ventral cell fates, whereas restriction of BMP signaling by extracellular antagonists allows specification of dorsal fates. In misexpression assays, the conserved extracellular factor Twisted gastrulation (Tsg) is ...
متن کاملSplit top: a maternal cathepsin B that regulates dorsoventral patterning and morphogenesis.
The vertebrate embryonic dorsoventral axis is established and patterned by Wnt and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways, respectively. Whereas Wnt signaling establishes the dorsal side of the embryo and induces the dorsal organizer, a BMP signaling gradient patterns tissues along the dorsoventral axis. Early Wnt signaling is provided maternally, whereas BMP ligand expression in t...
متن کاملDorsoventral Polarity of the Nasonia Embryo Primarily Relies on a BMP Gradient Formed without Input from Toll
In Drosophila, Toll signaling leads to a gradient of nuclear uptake of Dorsal with a peak at the ventral egg pole and is the source for dorsoventral (DV) patterning and polarity of the embryo. In contrast, Toll signaling plays no role in embryonic patterning in most animals, while BMP signaling plays the major role. In order to understand the origin of the novelty of the Drosophila system, we h...
