Abstract

To uncover roles for the Hoxa-5 gene during embryogenesis, we have focused on identifying structural and functional defects in organ systems underlying the perinatal lethality in Hoxa-5 homozygous mutants. Analysis of the mutant phenotype shows that Hoxa-5 is essential for normal organogenesis and function of the respiratory tract. In homozygous newborn mutants, improper tracheal and lung morphogenesis can lead to tracheal occlusion, and to respiratory distress associated with a marked decrease in the production of surfactant proteins. Collectively, these defects likely underlie the pronounced mortality of homozygous mutant pups. Furthermore, the loss of Hoxa-5 function results in altered TTF-1, HNF-3 beta, and N-myc gene expression in the pulmonary epithelium. Since expression of Hoxa-5 is confined to the mesenchymal component of the developing trachea and lung, the effects observed in epithelial cells may result from a disruption of normal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

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.
