Abstract

During development, the endoderm initiates organ-restricted gene expression patterns in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. This process, termed induction, requires signals from adjacent mesodermal derivatives. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) emanating from the cardiac mesoderm and the septum transversum mesenchyme (STM), respectively, are believed to be simultaneously and uniformly required to directly induce hepatic gene expression from the murine endoderm. Using small molecule inhibitors of BMP signals during liver bud induction in the developing mouse embryo, we found that BMP signaling was not uniformly required to induce hepatic gene expression. Although BMP inhibition caused an overall reduction in the number of induced hepatoblasts, the STM-bounded posterior liver bud demonstrated the most severe loss of the essential hepatic transcription factor, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-α (HNF4α), whereas the sinus venosus-lined anterior liver bud was less affected. We found that the posterior liver bud progenitors were anteriorly displaced and aberrantly activated pancreatobiliary markers, including sex-determining region Y-box 9 (SOX9). Additionally, we found that ectopically expressed SOX9 inhibited HNF4α and that BMP was indirectly required for hepatoblast induction. Finally, because previous studies have demonstrated that FGF signals are essential for anterior but not posterior liver bud induction, we examined synchronous BMP and FGF inhibition and found this led to a nearly complete loss of hepatoblasts. CONCLUSION: BMP signaling is required to maintain the hepato-pancreatobiliary boundary, at least in part, by indirectly repressing SOX9 in the hepatic endoderm. BMP and FGF signals are each required for the induction of spatially complementary subsets of hepatoblasts. These results underscore the importance of studying early inductive processes in the whole embryo. (Hepatology 2018;68:274-288).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
