ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the roles of forkhead box c2(Foxc2) in axial skeloton.METHODS:
Mice lacking Foxc2 locus were produced by targeted mutation and the developmental anomalies in axial skeleton were analyzed.RESULTS:
Foxc2 protein increased markedly in Myoblasts C2C12 after treating with BMP-2, and alkaline phosphatase activity and production of osteocalcin in Myoblasts C2C12 were significantly higher than that in cell lines transfecting antisense Foxc2 sequence. Expressed median cleft palatine, dysplasia of auditory ossicles and vertebral and anteroposterior facial dysplasia were found in all 15 homozygous mouse neonates with targeted mutation of Foxc2.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that Foxc2 has indispensable roles during skeletogenesis in mesoderm and cells derived from the neural crest. [
