In the rat model of partial hepatectomy and 2-acetamidofluorene treatment liver regeneration recruits hepatic stem cells referred to as oval cells. We analyzed a total of 153,057 tags in livers from normal control (52,343 tags), from sham 2-acetamidofluorene-treated control (50,502 tags), and from the early stage of oval cell proliferation (50,212 tags). Comparative analysis of the three transcriptomes identified 27 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated genes. Real-time PCR analysis confirmed I I temporally regulated genes that correlate with oval cell development. Interestingly, we found by Western blot protein analysis of regenerating livers that the cell cycle gene Cdc42 was induced concomitant with the proliferation marker cyclin D I and the oval cell marker alpha-fetoprotein. Our studies provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of liver regeneration through oval cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

We provide evidence that the Hedgehog interacting protein (Hip) from Xenopus. antagonist in the mouse, interferes with Wnt-8 and eFgf/Faf-8 signaling pathways as well. To address the function of Hip during early embryonic development, we performed gain- and loss-of-function studies in the frog. Overexpression of Xhip or mHip1 resulted in a dramatic increase of retinal structures and larger olfactory placodes primarily at the expense of other brain tissues. Furthermore, loss of Xhip function resulted in a suppression of olfactory and lens placode formation. Therefore. the localized expression of Xhip may counteract certain overlapping signaling activities, which inhibit the induction of distinct sensory placodes. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.

A better understanding of the gene network that mediates the formation of hepatocytes from pluripotent embryonic precursor cells may help to establish in vitro protocols for hepatocyte differentiation. Here, we describe our first attempts to make use of early embryonic explants from the amphibian Xenopus laevis in order to address these questions. We have identified several novel embryonic liver and intestine marker genes in a random expression pattern screen with cDNA libraries derived from the embryonic liver anlage and from the adult liver of Xenopus laevis. Based on their embryonic expression characteristics, these genes, together with the previously known ones, can be categorized into four different groups: the liver specific group (LS), the liver and intestine group A (LIA), the liver and intestine group B (LIB), and the intestine specific group (IS). Dissociation of endodermal explants isolated from early neurula stage embryos reveals that all genes in the LIB and IS groups are expressed in a cell-autonomous manner. In contrast, expression of genes in the LS and LIA groups requires cell-cell interactions. The regular temporal expression profile of genes in all four groups is mimicked in ectodermal explants from early embryos, reprogrammed by co-injection of VegT and P-catenin mRNAs. FGF signaling is found to be required for the induction of liver specific marker (LS group) gene expression in the same system. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Conversely, more recent studies with anurans (Xenopus laevis) making use of molecular markers for neural-specific gene expression appear to support the idea of planar signalling as providing sufficient information for neural differentiation along the anterior-posterior axis. In an attempt to resolve this apparent contradiction, we report on the comparative analysis of morphology and gene expression characteristics with explants prepared from both urodeles (Triturus alpestris) and anurans (Xenopus laevis). For this purpose, we have made use of a refined experimental protocol for the preparation of exogastrulae that is intended to combine the advantages of the Holtfreter type exogastrula and the Keller sandwich techniques, and which we refer to as pseudoexogastrula explants. Analysis of histology and expression of several neural and ectodermal marker genes in such explants suggests that neural differentiation is induced in both species, but only within the intermediate zone between ectoderm and endomesoderm. Therefore, experiments with Xenopus and Triturus explants described in this communication argue against planar signalling events as being sufficient to generate a specific anterior/posterior neural pattern.

Although several signaling molecules have been identified as candidate otic inducers, many details of the process of inner ear induction remain elusive. Here, we report that otic induction is responsive to the level of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling activity in Xenopus, making use of both gain- and loss-of-function approaches. Ectopic activation of Hedgehog signaling resulted in the development of ectopic vesicular structures expressing the otic marker genes XPax-2, Xdll-3, and Xwnt-3A, thus revealing otic identity. Induction of ectopic otic vesicles was also achieved by misexpression of two different inhibitors of Hh signaling: the putative Hh antagonist mHIP and XPtc lDeltaLoop2, a dominant-negative form of the Hh receptor Patched. In addition, misexpression of XPtc I DeltaLoop2 as well as treatment of Xenopus embryos with the specific Hh signaling antagonist cyclopamine resulted in the formation of enlarged otic vesicles. In summary, our observations suggest that a defined level of Hh signaling provides a restrictive environment for otic fate in Xenopus embryos. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
