Transcriptional targets of Trps1 in vibrissae

ABSTRACT: Mutations in TRPS1 cause trichorhinophalangeal syndrome types I and III, which are characterized by sparse scalp hair in addition to craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. Trps1 is a vertebrate transcription factor containing nine zinc-finger domains, including a GATA-type zinc finger through which it binds DNA. Mice in which the GATA domain of Trps1 has been deleted (Trps1∆gt/∆gt) have a reduced number of pelage follicles and lack vibrissae follicles postnatally. To identify the transcriptional targets of Trps1 in the developing vibrissa follicle, we performed microarray hybridization analysis comparing expression patterns in the whisker pads of wild-type versus Trps1∆gt/∆gt embryos. We identified a number of transcription factors and Wnt inhibitors among transcripts downregulated in
