Abstract excerpt
Loss of Twist gene function arrests the growth of the limb bud shortly after its formation. In the Twist(-/-) forelimb bud, Fgf10 expression is reduced, Fgf4 is not expressed, and the domain of Fgf8 and Fgfr2 expression is altered. This is accompanied by disruption of the expression of genes (Shh, Gli1, Gli2, Gli3, and Ptch) associated with SHH signalling in the limb bud mesenchyme, the down-regulation of Bmp4 in...
