Q

TGF beta signalling/SMADS pathway
draw slide 12

+main pathway for antagonism

A

TGf beta (can also be BMP4 or activin) binds to receptor

Second receptor recruited+TGF (or BMP4) binds+phosphorylates receptor

Recruits/Phosphorylates Smad 2 or 3

Smad 2/3 oligomerizes with Smad 4 and goes to nucleus where can recruit other gene proteins and activate trx of specific target gene

use something that antagonizes tgif-beta/bmp4

Q

Fgf heparan sulfate

A

Fibroblast growth factors

4 receptors

used in critical early axis format and for dev of several organs (bone and cartilage)

Heparan sulfate on cell surface helps FGF present to Tyrosine kinase receptors and helps active dimeric receptor even when FGF is monomer

Q

Two TFs i eqrly embryonic cell lineages

A

all cells express both at moral

some cell preferentatillly 1 vs other at 16 cells

the cells segregate-one forms TE other forms ICM

-happens again to form endoderm vs epiblast

eventually both cells restrict each other with reciprocal inhibition

Q

what are embryonic endoderm dn mesoderm derived from

A

cell that enter primitive streak

endodermal enter first during gastrulation
-mesdermal arise from epiblast and enter, spread extensively

engrossing of epiblast cells are thought to replace hypoblast cells (become yolk sac lining)-ingressing cells fan out to form mesodermal layer

Q

Nodal

A

TGf-b related peptide

expressed in posterior region of embryo called “node” where mesoderm will form

when knocked out primitive streak does not form

Pattern anterior visceral endoderm-needed for anterior structure differentiation

wants more mesoderm

19
Q

Nodal expression (draw slide 19)

A

broad early, induces anterior visceral endoderm-produces new signaling molecules that establish anterior-posterior embryonic axis/promote afterior differentiation

Induced ave-produces inhibitors that suprpres nodal expression in most of embryo exposept in posterior end
-At this place, the node region, nodal expression increases to the threshold level needed for mesoderm to form a dn for primitive streak formation to begin
+flattens?

20
Q

BMP4

A

suppresses mesoderm and nervous system formation and promtes epidermis

antagonized by chordin and login
-bind to BMP4 and prevent association with receptor

opposite action of nodal
-wants less mesoderm, nodal wants more

not expressed where primitive streak formed (i am pretty sure)

21
Q

Goosecoid

A

expressed in node-TF that allows anterior structures to be induced in mesoderm-interact with cells controlling head structures

22
Q

Nodal expression in node begets

A

expression of noggin and chords

bind to BMP-4 and prevent association with BMP receptors-allows nodal expression to expand

23
Q

Brachyury

A

Knockout results in much-reduced posterior mesoderm

-tailless phenotype

24
Q

relation of mesoderm, bmp-4, chordin, noggin, brachyury, goosecoid, FA, and FGF

A

Mesoderm increase
BMP, chordin, noggin, brachury, goosecoid decrease

mesiderom decrease
RA and FGF decrrease

25
proteins known for dev of anterior structures
chordin, noggin, brachury, goosecoid
26
too much goosecoid results in
two heads
27
Too little chords, noggin, brochure results in
posterior mesoderm never forming can also be rbecuase too much runic acid/too little FGF sironomelia-fusion of limb buds
28
FGF functions + where expressed
expressed in primitve streak-gives rise to mesoderm induces main second region of nodal expression-leads to left/right sidedness FGF in mesoderm promotes continued chords and noggin expression, inhibits BMP4 -inhibiion of BMP 4 promotes more mesoderm as well as neural tissue development
29
What is expressed in primitive streak
Nodal and FGF
30
retinoic acid
produced and normally active in only small areas of embryo-activates nuclear RA receptors endogenous synthetic and degradative enzymes for RA-if mutated-major abnormalities occur if too much RA -espeically in posterior structures becoming anterior
31
RA is teratogen
After RA exposure-RA receptors are activated on cells that do not normally see RA Vitamin A is rpecursor to RA-high exposures are very bad
32
retinoic acid interaction+what happens if 1 wins over other that isn't supposed to
recipricol inhitory interactions with FGF isoform RA produced more anteriorly, FGF more posteriorly -RA turns off FGF8 from rostral to caudal Maintenance of posterior FGF signaling is needed for posterior structures to develop -too much RA-FGF turns off prematurely-problems with posterior development
33
HOX expression patterns in embryo and how relates to FGF
Several hox genes are linearly arranged in clusters 5' hox genes direct development of posterior structures more FGF exposure needed to activate 5' HOX genes needed for posterior dev - too much RA-FGF turned off prematurely - 5' hox gene activation doesn't occur and there are defects in posterior structures that these genes control
34
Gentic causes of birth defects
robertsonian translocation, error in kiosks one, isochromaseom-downs trisomies-patau (13) edwards (18)
35
Environmental causes of birth defects
tertogens, alocol, retinoic acid, many more
36
Teratogen affecting organs one at a time during dev
weeks 3-8-wmveto sec days 15-60 organ specific days 20-36 ears, eyes, upper/loewr limbs
37
Major effects of rinoic acid as teratogen
RA tug of war with FGF - RA is for anterior - FGF for posterior Increase RA and decrease FGF -defects or absence of posterior structures
38
Aspects of TGF/FGF signaling cascades
TGF-B signalling proteins-nodal, BMP4, activin - nodal inhibits mesoderm formation - ligands bind to TGF2 receptors, recruits P, ligand binds to other half and P does too, ruer SMAD2/3, dimerizes with SMAD 4-enters nun FGF (and TGFB) is a tyrosine kinase receprotr - results in axis dev, bone and cartilage dev - GAT heparin thing-presents FGF to receptor even if monomer-allows activity
39
Changing role of TGF peptide nodal at different times in dev
increase nodal - anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) - inhibits nodal resision-anterior region Nodal expression localized to small end at posterior -node reaches threshold level-allows for mesoderm and primitive streak formation nodal negative mice-no mesoderm or primitive streak
40
mechs that lead to deficient posterior mesoderm formation
Ra increase and FGF decrease -Goosecoid-TF that allows anterior structures to be induced in mesoderm moving anteriorly Nodal+BMP-4-have opposite effects -nodal-mesoderm increase, neural tissue formation BMMP-4-supresses mesoderm and neural tissue formation Node-nodal, noggin, chordin, goosecoid BMP4-boradly experssion in epiblast Defiecent poster mech - decrease chordirn, FGF, noggin - increase RA Brachury decrease(TF expeeression in poseterior mesoderm)
41
Retinoic acid as a teratogen in terms of FGF and homeobox
Increase RA, decrease FGF more FGF needd to activte 5' hox genes increase RA, FGF turn off permanent (if too much) 5' is poseterior, 3' is anterior
42
Changing role of TGF peptide nodal at different times in dev
increase nodal - anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) - inhibits nodal resision-anterior region Nodal expression localized to small end at posterior -node reaches threshold level-allows for mesoderm and primitive streak formation nodal negative mice-no mesoderm or primitive streak
43
mechs that lead to deficient posterior mesoderm formation
Ra increase and FGF decrease -Goosecoid-TF that allows anterior structures to be induced in mesoderm moving anteriorly Nodal+BMP-4-have opposite effects -nodal-mesoderm increase, neural tissue formation BMMP-4-supresses mesoderm and neural tissue formation Node-nodal, noggin, chordin, goosecoid BMP4-boradly experssion in epiblast Defiecent poster mech - decrease chordirn, FGF, noggin - increase RA Brachury decrease(TF expeeression in poseterior mesoderm)
44
Retinoic acid as a teratogen in terms of FGF and homeobox
Increase RA, decrease FGF more FGF needd to activte 5' hox genes increase RA, FGF turn off permanent (if too much) 5' is poseterior, 3' is anterior
