During mammalian kidney development, mesenchymal nephron progenitors (cap mesenchyme) differentiate into the epithelial cells that go on to form the nephron. Although differentiation of nephron progenitors is triggered by activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling, constitutive activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling blocks epithelialization of nephron progenitors. Full epithelialization of nephron progenitors requires transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling. We performed transcriptional profiling of nephron progenitors responding to constitutive or transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling.
Six2 and Wnt regulate self-renewal and commitment of nephron progenitors through shared gene regulatory networks.

View SamplesWe demonstrate that expression of key markers of keratinocyte differentiation is suppressed by exposure to sodium arsenite. Folate deficiency exacerbates this effect. In addition, cancer-related cell movement genes, and growth and proliferation genes are altered. Several redox-sensitive transcription factors are implicated in mediating these gene expression changes due to arsenic treatment and folate deficiency.
Folate deficiency enhances arsenic effects on expression of genes involved in epidermal differentiation in transgenic K6/ODC mouse skin.
