Canonical Wnt signaling modulates <i>Tbx1</i>, <i>Eya1</i>, and <i>Six1</i> expression, restricting neurogenesis in the otic vesicle
12 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
To understand the mechanism by which canonical Wnt signaling sets boundaries for pattern formation in the otic vesicle (OV), we examined Tbx1 and Eya1-Six1 downstream of activated beta-catenin. Tbx1, the gene for velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS), is essential for inner ear development where it promotes Bmp4 and Otx1 expression and restricts neurogenesis. Using floxed beta-catenin...
