ABSTRACT
@#Normal embryonic development is regulated by different genes and related signaling pathways. In recent years, the association between different genes and genes, genes and signaling pathways in the same organization has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad. Sp and Wnt gene deletion or mutation can lead to abnormal embryonic development. The results of this review indicate that abnormal embryonic development is due to Sp gene deletion/mutation The zinc finger protein superfamily member Sp1-9 is involved in the development of various tissues and organs , such as the hematopoietic system, respiratory system and skeletal system, and its deletion or mutation can lead to developmental abnormalities in embryonic tissues. In addition, the Sp8 gene is associated with the occurrence of cleft palate. By summarizing the observations about the relationship between the Wnt gene and cleft lip and palate in recent years, we can understand the abnormal expression of Wnt3, Wnt3A, Wnt5A, Wnt9B, Wnt10A and Wnt11 in humans. The occurrence of cleft lip and palate is closely related; Sp5/8 is a key downstream effector of the Wnt signaling pathway during embryonic development and participates in the Wnt signaling pathway. Sp5/8 and the Wnt signaling pathway are involved in the regulation of normal neural crest development and the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells in embryonic mice. In summary, this paper proposes that the Sp and Wnt genes may be involved in the regulation of the formation and occurrence of embryonic cleft palate and provides a reference for further study of the associated mechanisms between the two genes in the cleft palate model.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of various dosage and multiple course of Dexamethasone(DEX) on the expressions of WNTs,?-catenin and glycogen synthase kmase-3?(GSK-3?) genes in the lung of premature rats on the 19th day of embryo.Methods Twelve pregnant SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly:small dose DEX group,large dose DEX group and control group with 4 rats in each group.The rats in control group were injected with saline 9 g/L;rats in small dose DEX group were injected with DEX 0.4 mg/(kg?d),and the rats in large dose DEX group were injected with DEX 0.8 mg/(kg?d) after DEX was diluted to 0.5 mL with saline.On the 19th day of gestation,fetuses were surgically taken out.The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction PCR method was used to detect expressions of WNT7b,WNT5a,WNT2,GSK-3? and ?-catenin genes mRNA.Results The expressions of WNT7b(0.55?0.19,0.64?0.54)and ?-catenin(2.03?0.58,2.40?0.89)genes mRNA in small dose DEX group and large dose DEX group were significantly higher than those of control group(WNT7b:0.18?0.10,?-catenin:1.77?0.54)(Pa
