A targeted mouse Otx2 mutation leads to severe defects in gastrulation and formation of axial mesoderm and to deletion of rostral brain

Abstract

Mouse Otx2 is a bicoid-class homeobox gene, related to the Drosophila orthodenticle (otd) gene. Expression of this gene is initially widespread in the epiblast at embryonic day 5.5 but becomes progressively restricted to the anterior end of the embryo at the headfold stage. In flies, loss of function mutations in otd result in deletion of pre-antennal and antennal segments; which leads to the absence of head structures derived from these segments. To study the function of Otx2 in mice, we have generated a homeobox deletion mutation in this gene. Mice homozygous for this mutation show severe defects in gastrulation and in formation of axial mesoderm and loss of anterior neural tissues. These results demonstrate that Otx2 is required for proper development of the epiblast and patterning of the anterior brain in mice, and supports the idea of evolutionary conservation of the function of Otd/Otx genes in head development in flies and mice.

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.
