Journal ArticleDOI
Six3 repression of Wnt signaling in the anterior neuroectoderm is essential for vertebrate forebrain development
Oleg Lagutin,Changqi C. Zhu,Daisuke Kobayashi,Jacek Topczewski,Kenji Shimamura,Luis Puelles,Helen R. Russell,Peter J. McKinnon,Lilianna Solnica-Krezel,Guillermo Oliver +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that regionalization of the vertebrate forebrain involves repression of Wnt1 expression by Six3 within the anterior neuroectoderm, and this results support the hypothesis that a Wnt signal gradient specifies posterior fates in the anterior neural plate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six3-mediated auto repression and eye development requires its interaction with members of the Groucho-related family of co-repressors.
Changqi C. Zhu,Michael A. Dyer,Masanori Uchikawa,Hisato Kondoh,Oleg Lagutin,Guillermo Oliver +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that Grg4 and Grg5, mouse counterparts of the Drosophila transcriptional co-repressor Groucho, interact with mouse Six3 and its closely related member Six6, which may also be involved in vertebrate eye development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six3 promotes the formation of ectopic optic vesicle‐like structures in mouse embryos
Oleg Lagutin,Changqi C. Zhu,Yasuhide Furuta,David H. Rowitch,Andrew P. McMahon,Guillermo Oliver +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that similar to Drosophila, where the eyeless/Pax6 gene regulates the eye‐specific expression of so, Six3 expression in the murine lens placodal ectoderm is also controlled by Pax6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midgut-Derived Activin Regulates Glucagon-like Action in the Fat Body and Glycemic Control.
Wei Song,Wei Song,Daojun Cheng,Shangyu Hong,Benoit Sappe,Yanhui Hu,Neil Wei,Changqi C. Zhu,Michael B. O'Connor,Pavlos Pissios,Norbert Perrimon,Norbert Perrimon +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Activin-β (Actβ), an activin ligand predominantly produced in the enteroendocrine cells of the midgut, is upregulated by chronic high-sugar diet and signals through Babo to promote AKH action in the fat body, leading to hyperglycemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of androgen receptor mRNA during mouse embryogenesis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AR transcripts occur in the developing external genitalia, pituitary, adrenals, kidneys and musculus levator ani, in addition to the known expression sites in the Wolffian ducts and its derivatives and during development of the mammary glands.
