Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation during craniofacial development.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype transition is a common phenomenon during embryonic development, wound healing, and tumor metastasis. This transition involves cellular changes in cytoskeleton architecture and protein expression. Specifically, this highly regulated biological event plays several important roles during craniofacial development. This review focuses on the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) during neural crest cell migration, and fusion of the secondary palate and the upper lip.

Deletion of BMP7 affects the development of bones, teeth, and other ectodermal appendages of the orofacial complex.
Sequential and reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions govern the development of most tissues and organs of the craniofacial region. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta family of secreted signaling molecules that have long been implied to have a significant contribution in this process. However, evidence for such a role during craniofacia...
متن کاملrowth Factors and Signaling roteins in Craniofacial Development
Regulation of growth and development is controlled by the interactions of cells with each other and the extracellular environment through signal transduction pathways that control the differentiation process by stimulating proliferation or causing cell death. This review will define the common signaling molecules and provide an overview of the general principles of signal transduction events. W...
متن کاملTGFbeta3 promotes transformation of chicken palate medial edge epithelium to mesenchyme in vitro.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation plays an important role in the disappearance of the midline line epithelial seam in rodent palate, leading to confluence of the palate. The aim of this study was to test the potential of the naturally cleft chicken palate to become confluent under the influence of growth factors, such as TGFbeta3, which are known to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transforma...
متن کاملSox2 acts as a rheostat of epithelial to mesenchymal transition during neural crest development
Precise control of self-renewal and differentiation of progenitor cells into the cranial neural crest (CNC) pool ensures proper head development, guided by signaling pathways such as BMPs, FGFs, Shh and Notch. Here, we show that murine Sox2 plays an essential role in controlling progenitor cell behavior during craniofacial development. A "Conditional by Inversion" Sox2 allele (Sox2(COIN) ) has ...
متن کاملp53 coordinates cranial neural crest cell growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition/delamination processes.
Neural crest development involves epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), during which epithelial cells are converted into individual migratory cells. Notably, the same signaling pathways regulate EMT function during both development and tumor metastasis. p53 plays multiple roles in the prevention of tumor development; however, its precise roles during embryogenesis are less clear. We have inv...
