| Research Abstract |
Morphogenesis in tissue development depends on the relationships among cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM), and other support structures. Tenascin-C (TN-C) is a hexametric glycoprotein of the ECM produced mainly by stromal cells. In this study, we evaluated the gene expression profiles in TN-C knockout (TN-C KO) mouse urogenital sinus mesenchyme (mUGM). In TN-C KO mUGM, the expressions of thymosinβ10 and specific genes related to chemotaxis, cell-matrix adhesion, response to wounding, and collagen fibril organization were decreased or disappeared as compared to those in WT mUGM, suggesting that stromal TN-C signals and/or related signals might play an important role in development and organogenesis of prostate.
