Angiogenesis defects and mesenchymal apoptosis in mice lacking SMAD5

Abstract

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signals are mediated by a family of at least nine SMAD proteins, of which SMAD5 is thought to relay signals of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway. To investigate the role of SMAD5 during vertebrate development and tumorigenesis, we disrupted the Smad5 gene by homologous recombination. We showed that Smad5 was expressed predominantly in mesenchyme and somites during embryogenesis, and in many tissues of the adult. Mice homozygous for the mutation died between days 10.5 and 11.5 of gestation due to defects in angiogenesis. The mutant yolk sacs lacked normal vasculature and had irregularly distributed blood cells, although they contained hematopoietic precursors capable of erythroid differentiation. Smad5 mutant embryos had enlarged blood vessels surrounded by decreased numbers of vascular smooth muscle cells, suffered massive apoptosis of mesenchymal cells, and were unable to direct angiogenesis in vitro. These data suggest that SMAD5 may regulate endothelium-mesenchyme interactions during angiogenesis and that it is essential for mesenchymal 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.
