Journal ArticleDOI

GATA4 transcription factor is required for ventral morphogenesis and heart tube formation.

TL;DR: Analysis of cardiac development in the GATA4-/- mice demonstrated that these embryos developed splanchnic mesoderm, which differentiated into primitive cardiac myocytes that expressed contractile proteins that formed aberrant cardiac structures in the anterior and dorsolateral regions of the embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

GATA6 regulates HNF4 and is required for differentiation of visceral endoderm in the mouse embryo

TL;DR: A model in which GATA6 lies upstream of HNF4 in a transcriptional cascade that regulates differentiation of the visceral endoderm is suggested and it is demonstrated that GATA 6 is required for establishment of the endODermally derived bronchial epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocardin Is a Critical Serum Response Factor Cofactor in the Transcriptional Program Regulating Smooth Muscle Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that myocardin plays an important role in the SRF-dependent transcriptional program that regulates SMC development and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Gata6-Wnt pathway required for epithelial stem cell development and airway regeneration

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Gata6-regulated Wnt signaling controls the balance between progenitor expansion and epithelial differentiation required for both lung development and regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocardin-related transcription factors: critical coactivators regulating cardiovascular development and adaptation.

TL;DR: The molecular basis of MRTF function is reviewed with particular focus on the role MRTFs play in regulating cardiovascular patterning, vascular smooth muscle cell and cardiomyocyte differentiation and in the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease and vascular proliferative syndromes.
