Mice lacking HSP90β fail to develop a placental labyrinth

Voss, Anne K., Thomas, Tim, Gruss, Peter·2000·Development

Abstract

The 90 kDa heat-shock proteins (HSP90s) play important roles during stress situations as general chaperones and under physiological conditions in the conformational activation of specific protein substrates. Vertebrates express two cytosolic HSP90s (HSP90α and HSP90β) ubiquitously. We have mutated the Hsp90β gene in murine embryonic stem cells and generated Hsp90β mutant mice. Heterozygous animals were phenotypically normal. Interestingly, homozygous embryos developed normally until embryonic day 9.0/9.5. Then, although Hsp90β is expressed ubiquitously, they exhibited phenotypic abnormalities restricted to the placenta. The mutant concepti failed to form a fetal placental labyrinth and died a day later. Fusion between the allantois and the chorionic plate occurred, allantoic blood vessels invaded the chorion, but then did not expand. Mutant trophoblast cells failed to differentiate into trilaminar labyrinthine trophoblast. Despite conspicuous similarities between HSP90α and HSP90β at the molecular level, our data suggest that HSP90β has a key role in placenta development that cannot be performed by the endogenous HSP90α alone. Analysis of chimeric concepti consisting of mutant embryos and tetraploid embryos or ES cells revealed that wild-type allantois was able to induce mutant trophoblast to differentiate. In contrast, trophoblast wild type at the Hsp90β locus was unable to differentiate when in contact with mutant allantois. Therefore, the primary defect caused by the Hsp90β mutation resided in the allantois. The allantois mesoderm is thought to induce trophoblast differentiation. Our results show that Hsp90β is a necessary component of this induction process.

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.
