Description
During development, a polarized sheet of epidermal cells undergoes stratification and differentiation to produce the skin barrier. Through mechanisms poorly understood, the process involves adhesion and Notch signaling. To elucidate how epidermal embryogenesis is governed, we conditionally targeted transcription factor serum response factor (SRF), which has been shown to be essential for proper epidermal differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Seeking mechanism, we identified actomyosin-related genes as well-known SRF targets downregulated shortly after ablation. We show that this results in a diminished cortical actomyosin network which fails to regulate the transition of cells from the basal proliferative layer to the suprabasal differentiating layer resulting in an inability of cells to properly execute stratification and differentiation.

Description
To identify a cohort of rhythmically expressed genes in the murine Distal Colon,microarrays were used to measure gene expression over a 24-hour light/dark cycle.The rhythmic transcripts were classified according to expression patterns, functions and association with physiological and pathophysiological processes of the colon including motility, colorectal cancer formation and inflammatory bowel disease.
