Research Abstract |
Much about molecular mechanisms involved in regionalization of the gut endoderm remain unknown. To clarify this we isolated genes expressed in the early endoderm locally, and analyzed their function. We found that sizzled modified gradient of BMP ligand and regulated liver and stomach differentiation. Also, APOA1 induced liver endoderm at the pancreas region. In addition, the mechanism of boundary formation between the stomach and the intestine were controlled by two transcriptional factors, which are expressed in each region.
