Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cranium is formed through intramembranous ossification and cranial sutures, which abnormalities lead to several clinical issues such as Cranio-maxillofacial deformity, esthetic problems, malocclusion, and growth retardation of neurocerebral system. While there is a complicated molecular network which regulates craniofacial development, we focused to study the role of Ihh/Pth1r. We have successfully established Prx1-Cre;Ihhfl/fl and Prx1-Cre;Pth1rfl/fl which enables us continuous observation from perinatal to postnatal stage. As a result, we found that Prx1-Cre;Pth1rfl/fl caused severe cranial phenotype.
