摘要: Little is understood about the molecular mechanisms underlying morphogenesis of posterior pole heart. Here we show that Wnt2 expressed specifically in developing inflow tract mesoderm, which generates portions atria and atrio-ventricular canal. Loss results defective development heart, resulting a phenotype resembling human congenital heart syndrome complete common The number proliferation second field progenitors reduced Wnt2(-/-) mutants. Moreover, these defects can be rescued temporally restricted manner through pharmacological inhibition Gsk-3beta. We also works feedforward transcriptional loop with Gata6 to regulate cardiac development. These data reveal pathway regulating mesoderm demonstrate cardiovascular caused by loss Wnt signaling pharmacologically vivo.
