Melanocyte development in vivo and in neural crest cell cultures: crucial dependence on the Mitf basic-helix-loop-helix-zipper transcription factor
Abstract
The more than 20 different Mitf mutations in the mouse are all associated with deficiencies in neural crest-derived melanocytes that range from minor functional distur-bances with some alleles to complete absence of mature melanocytes with others. In the trunk region of wild-type embryos, Mitf-expressing cells that coexpressed the melanoblast marker Dct and the tyrosine kinase receptor Kit were found in the dorsolateral neural crest migration pathway. In contrast, in embryos homozygous for an Mitf allele encoding a non-functional Mitf protein, Mitf-express-ing cells were extremely rare, no Dct expression was ever found, and the number of Kit-expressing cells was much reduced. Wild-type neural crest cell cultures rapidly gave rise to cells that expressed Mitf and coexpressed Kit and Dct. With time in culture, Kit expression was increased, and pigmented, dendritic cells developed. Addition of the Kit ligand Mgf or endothelin 3 or a combination of these factors all rapidly increased the number of Dct-positive cells. Cultures from Mitf mutant embryos initially displayed Mitf-positive cells similar in numbers and Kit-expression as did wild-type cultures. However, Kit expression did not increase with time in culture and the mutant cells never responded to Mgf or endothelin 3, did not express Dct, and never showed pigment. In fact, even Mitf expression was rapidly lost. The results suggest that Mitf first plays a role in promoting the transition of precursor cells to melanoblasts and subsequently, by influ-encing Kit expression, melanoblast survival.

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.
