20-P004 Ocular anterior segment dysgenesis following deletion of p120ctn in neural crest stem cells

چکیده
ume changes were influencing cell movement. We also observed that the shape of the explant influenced the direction of cell migration. We propose that increased cell volume provides the driving impetus for the start of cell migration. The enlarged cells produce points of dislocations, which are determined by the physical constraints of the tissue, and that foreshadow and dictate the direction of cell movement.

Conditional deletion of AP-2β in mouse cranial neural crest results in anterior segment dysgenesis and early-onset glaucoma
Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) encompasses a group of developmental disorders in which a closed angle phenotype in the anterior chamber of the eye can occur and 50% of patients develop glaucoma. Many ASDs are thought to involve an inappropriate patterning and migration of the periocular mesenchyme (POM), which is derived from cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) and mesoderm. Although, the mech...
متن کاملFoxf2: A Novel Locus for Anterior Segment Dysgenesis Adjacent to the Foxc1 Gene
Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) is characterised by an abnormal migration of neural crest cells or an aberrant differentiation of the mesenchymal cells during the formation of the eye's anterior segment. These abnormalities result in multiple tissue defects affecting the iris, cornea and drainage structures of the iridocorneal angle including the ciliary body, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm'...
متن کاملAnalysis of FOXD3 sequence variation in human ocular disease
PURPOSE The migratory neural crest cell population makes a significant contribution to the anterior segment structures of the eye. Consequently, several anterior segment dysgenesis phenotypes are associated with mutations in genes expressed during neural crest development. The forkhead box D3 (FOXD3) gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor that plays an important role in neural crest speci...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of anterior segment dysgenesis caused by a Col4a1 mutation in mouse
Ocular anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) describes a spectrum of clinically and genetically heterogeneous congenital disorders affecting anterior structures that often lead to impaired vision. More importantly, 50-75% of patients with ASD develop early onset and aggressive glaucoma. Although several genes have been implicated in the etiology of ASD, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Typ...
متن کاملExpression of human F8B, a gene nested within the coagulation factor VIII gene, produces multiple eye defects and developmental alterations in chimeric and transgenic mice.
Factor VIII-associated gene B ( F8B ) is a small human gene of unknown function which is nested within the gene encoding coagulation factor VIII ( FVIII ) in chromosome band Xq28. The sequence of F8B includes the C2 cell adhesion motif of factor VIII, which has also been identified in numerous proteins known to play important roles during development. Here we have constructed both chimeric and ...
