Retinoid X receptors are essential for early mouse development and placentogenesis

Abstract

Embryos carrying null mutations of both retinoid X receptors α and β (RXRα −/− /RXRβ −/− mutants) were generated. These mutant embryos die between 9.5 and 10.5 days of gestation and display a wide range of abnormalities. The cause of the lethality appears to be the lack of formation of the labyrinthine zone of the chorioallantoic placenta. In a thorough analysis of mutant conceptuses, we establish that RXRs, through heterodimerization with retinoic acid receptors, are essential for postimplantation embryonic development before placentogenesis. RXRs are also essential for the formation of the chorioallantoic placenta, most probably through RXR/peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-γ heterodimers. Interestingly, as a RXR ligand appears dispensable, placentogenesis must be controlled by a yet unknown hormonal ligand(s) activating the heterodimerization partner(s) of RXRs.

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.
