Project description:We used laser capture microdissection to isolate maxillary arch mesenchyme from E10.5 embryos. This tissue was collected from both control (3x) and Lhx6-/-;Lhx8-/- mutant (3x) samples. Transcriptional profiling was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. The mutant mice are of mixed genetic background of C57BL/6J, 129 and CD-1 strains. The head of E10.5 embryos was collected and embedded in Optimal Cutting Temperature resin (Tissue-Tek) by flash freezing on dry ice. The frozen sections were collected on polyethylene naphthalate membrane slides (Leica). Leica LMD6000 Laser Micro-Dissection System was used to cut out the normal expression domain of Lhx6 and Lhx8 in the maxillary arch mesenchyme. The tissue was collected from the entire antero-posterior extent of the maxillary arches. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). Subsequent steps of transcriptional profiling were performed by the New York University Genome Technology Center, beginning with the amplification of RNA by Ovation Nano Amplification system (NuGen). RNA samples from three wild-type and three Lhx6−/−;Lhx8−/− mutant embryos, all somite count- and sex-matched (females), were analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. A list of Lhx-regulated genes were generated from the microarray result based on the following criteria: fold change in the average expression between wild types and Lhx6−/−;Lhx8−/− mutants is >1.5, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05) and the average intensity of the probe signal is >100 for wild-type and/or mutant samples. The resulting list of 212 genes was used for a gene ontology analysis with DAVID (27,28).

Project description:The patterning of the facial midline involves early specification of neural crest cells to form skeletal tissues that support the upper jaw . In order to understand the molecular mechanisms involved we have taken advantage of a beak duplication model developed in the chicken embryo. Here we can induce the transformation of the side of the beak into a second midline that is easily identifiable by the formation of a supernumerary egg tooth. The phenotype is induced by implanting two microscopic beads, one soaked in retinoic acid and the other soaked in Noggin into the side of the head of the chicken embryo. Here we use microarrays to profile expression of maxillary mesenchyme 16h after placing the beads. A subset of genes were validated using in situ hybridization and QPCR. The aims of the study are to test the function of these genes using retroviral transgenesis, knockdown with morpholinos or expression of secreted proteins and their application to the embryo. Embryos were incubated at 38 degrees C until they reached Hamburger Hamilton Stage 15 or 25 somites. Four different treatments were carried out consisting of two beads simultaneously implanted into the side of the head between the eye and mandibular arch. The beads were either Noggin+retinoic acid, Tris+retinoic acid, Noggin+DMSO or the control, Tris+DMSO. Embryos were reincubated for another 16h until they reached stage 18. Embryos were dissected on ice in Hanks Buffered Salt Solution and batches of 12-15 maxillary pieces were snap frozen in liquid Nitrogen. These pooled facial prominences comprised one biological replicate. A total of three biological replicates were generated for each treatment.

Project description:ChickenM-BM- ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor II (COUP-TFII; NR2F2) is an orphan nuclear receptor involved in cell-fate specification, organogenesis, angiogenesis and metabolism. Ablation of COUP-TFII in the mouse uterus causes infertility due to defects in embryo attachment and impaired uterine stromal cell decidualization. Although the function of COUP-TFII in uterine decidualization has been described in mice, its role in the human uterus remains unknown. To better elucidate the mechanisms with which COUP-TFII regulates target gene transcription, genome-wide COUP-TFII binding sites in human endometrial stromal cells (HESC) treated with deciduogenic hormones were identified using ChIP-seq. A total of 16,298 intervals (binding regions) for COUP-TFII were identified compared with the input in HESC chromatin with a very low false discovery rate (0.17%) using a stringent cutoff of p =1x10-10. Distribution of intervals showed that more than half (58.6%) of the COUP-TFII binding sites are located within 10 kb of gene boundaries. 7.5% of total intervals reside within the 10 kb promoter region. A total of 6,077 unique genes were identified to have COUP-TFII binding sites within 10 kb of their gene boundaries.

Project description:The project is based on in-bone digestion of proteins by trypsin directly in human maxillary and mandibular healthy and pathological bone samples without the prior reduction and alkylation of the disulfide bonds. The released peptides were then separated and identified by LC-MS/MS method.

Project description:One of the key questions in developmental biology is how from universally shared molecular mechanisms and pathways, is it possible to generate organs displaying similar or complementary functions, with a wide range of different shapes or tissue organization? The dentition represents a valuable system to address the issues of differential molecular signatures generating specific tooth types. We performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of developing murine lower incisors, mandibular molars and maxillary molars at the developmental cap stage (E14.5) prior to recognizable tooth shape and cusp pattern. We compared gene expression profiles in developing murine lower incisor and molars, as well as between the lower and upper (mandibular and maxillary) first molars

Project description:Previous studies have suggested that Bmp4 is a key Msx1-dependent mesenchymal odontogenic signal for driving tooth morphogenesis through the bud-to-cap transition. Whereas the bud stage tooth developmental arrest in Msx1-/- mutant mice was accompanied by reduction in mesenchymal Bmp4 mRNA expression, we show that depleting functional Bmp4 mRNAs in the tooth mesenchyme, through neural crest-specific gene inactivation in Bmp4f/f;Wnt1Cre mice, caused mandibular molar developmental arrest at the bud stage but allowed maxillary molars and incisors to develop to mineralized teeth. We show that the Wnt inhibitors Dkk2 and Wif1 were much more abundantly expressed in the mandibular than maxillary molar mesenchyme in wildtype embryos and that Dkk2 expression was significantly unregulated in the tooth mesenchyme in Bmp4f/f;Wnt1Cre embryos. In addition, expression of Osr2, which encodes a zinc finger protein that antagonizes Msx1-mediated activation of odontogenic mesenchyme, is significantly upregulated in the molar mesenchyme in Bmp4f/f;Wnt1Cre embryos. Msx1 heterozygosity enhanced maxillary molar developmental defects whereas Osr2 heterozygosity rescued mandibular first molar morphogenesis in Bmp4f/f;Wnt1Cre mice. Moreover, in contrast to complete lack of supernumerary tooth initiation in Msx1-/-Osr2-/- mutant mice, Osr2-/-Bmp4f/f;Wnt1Cre compound mutant mice exhibit formation and subsequent arrest of supernumerary tooth germs that correlated with down regulation of Msx1 expression in the tooth mesenchyme. Taken together, our data indicate that, while reduction in mesenchymal Bmp4 expression alone could not account for the tooth bud arrest phenotype in Msx1-/- mutant mice, Bmp4 signaling synergizes with Msx1 and antagonizes Osr2 to activate mesenchymal odontogenic activity to drive tooth morphogenesis and sequential tooth formation. E13.5 mouse embryos tooth germs were microdissected by laser capture microdissection (LCM), and the mandibular molar and maxillary molar were separated. 3 pairs of control and mutant samples were pooled for the RNA extraction.
