摘要
背景:第二生心区对于胚胎心脏发育具有重要意义,其发育异常会导致多种心脏畸形,Cx43基因敲除后第二生心区细胞的形成和增殖减少,但具体原因尚未明确。目的:①明确β-catenin、Smo以及Cx43在内胚层与第二生心区的表达模式,观察其有无共表达;②探究Cx43与Wnt/β-catenin通路或Shh通路之间是否存在相互作用,共同参与第二生心区的发育。方法:选取胚龄10-12 d的ICR小鼠胚胎石蜡包埋连续切片,进行免疫组织化学染色、苏木精-伊红染色、免疫荧光染色;剥离胚龄11 d小鼠胚胎的原始消化管用于蛋白印迹实验和免疫共沉淀。结果与结论:①胚龄10-12 d,Cx43与Isl1在前肠腹侧和心包腔背侧壁的部分间充质细胞呈共表达,Isl1阳性细胞增多的同时Cx43阳性细胞也增多;②胚龄10-12 d,Cx43与β-catenin在内胚层腹侧共表达;③胚龄10-12 d,Cx43与Smo在内胚层上共表达;④免疫共沉淀结果表明Cx43与β-catenin之间存在相互作用,共同参与第二生心区的发育。
BACKGROUND:The second heart field is crucial for the development of the embryonic heart.Abnormal development of the second heart field can result in multiple cardiac malformations.After Cx43 gene knockout,reduced formation and proliferation of cells of the second heart field can be observed,but the specific reason remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:(1)To determine whetherβ-catenin,Smo and Cx43 were co-expressed in the second heart field and the endoderm,we observed the expression patterns of these proteins.(2)To explore whether Cx43 interacts with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway or the Shh pathway in the development of the second heart field.METHODS:Serial paraffin sections of the mouse embryos at embryonic days 10-12 were selected for immunohistochemical staining,hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence staining.The primitive gut of mouse embryos at embryonic day 11 was separated for western blot assay and co-immunoprecipitation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cx43 and Isl1 were co-expressed in some mesenchymal cells on the ventral side of the foregut and dorsal wall of the pericardial cavity of mouse embryos at embryonic days 10-12;Isl1 positive cells increased while Cx43 positive cells increased.(2)Cx43 andβ-catenin were co-expressed in the ventral part of the endoderm at embryonic days 10-12.(3)Cx43 and Smo were co-expressed in the endoderm at embryonic days 10-12.(4)The co-immunoprecipitation results confirmed that there was an interaction between Cx43 andβ-catenin,which suggested that Cx43 interacted withβ-catenin to participate in the development of the second heart field.
