Aberrant Expression Patterns of Genes Involved in Segregation of Inner Cell Mass and Trophectoderm Lineages in Bovine Embryos Derived from Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
20 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
High rates of embryonic, fetal, or placental abnormalities have consistently been observed in bovine cloning. Segregation of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) lineages in early embryos is an important process for fetal and placental formation. In mouse embryos, differentiation of ICM and TE is regulated by various transcription factors, such as OCT-4, CDX2, and TEAD4, but molecular mechanisms that...
