Dedifferentiation of Mammalian Myotubes Induced by msx1 [PDF]
The process of cellular differentiation culminating in terminally differentiated mammalian cells is thought to be irreversible. Here, we present evidence that terminally differentiated murine myotubes can be induced to dedifferentiate. Ectopic expression of msx1 in C2C12 myotubes reduced the nuclear muscle proteins MyoD, myogenin, MRF4, and p21 to ...

Generation of a MSX1 knockout human embryonic stem cell line using CRISPR/Cas9 technology
The MSX1 gene encodes a transcriptional repressor and plays important roles in limb-pattern formation, craniofacial development, and odontogenesis during vertebrate embryogenesis.

The Role of MSX1 in Human Tooth Agenesis [PDF]
MSX1 has a critical role in craniofacial development, as indicated by expression assays and transgenic mouse phenotypes. Previously, MSX1 mutations have been identified in three families with autosomal-dominant tooth agenesis. To test the hypothesis that MSX1 mutations are a common cause of congenital tooth agenesis, we screened 92 affected individuals,

Detection of a rare AXIN2 variant in an Iranian family with hypodontia and oligodontia [PDF]
Background. Hypodontia, or the absence of one or more teeth during tooth formation, is a highly prevalent dental anomaly. Nevertheless, the main causes are still unknown.

70759 Jaw-specific control of Msx1-dependent odontogenesis by Dkk2 and Sostdc1
IMPACT: Our proposed jaw-specific control mechanism of tooth development is expected to address the site-specific prevalence of tooth agenesis in humans. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine the molecular mechanisms that control jaw-specific tooth development.

An aberrant splice acceptor site due to a novel intronic nucleotide substitution in MSX1 gene is the cause of congenital tooth agenesis in a Japanese family. [PDF]
Congenital tooth agenesis is caused by mutations in the MSX1, PAX9, WNT10A, or AXIN2 genes. Here, we report a Japanese family with nonsyndromic tooth agenesis caused by a novel nucleotide substitution in the intronic region between exons 1 and 2 of the ...

Msx1 haploinsufficiency modifies the Pax9-deficient cardiovascular phenotype [PDF]
Abstract Background Successful embryogenesis relies on the coordinated interaction between genes and tissues. The transcription factors Pax9 and Msx1 genetically interact during mouse craniofacial morphogenesis, and mice deficient for either gene display abnormal tooth and palate development.

Msx1is required for dorsal diencephalon patterning [PDF]
The dorsal midline of the neural tube has recently emerged as a major signaling center for dorsoventral patterning. Msx genes are expressed at the dorsal midline, although their function at this site remains unknown. Using Msx1nlacZ mutant mice, we show that the normal expression domain of Msx1 is interrupted in the pretectum of mutant embryos ...

A Nonsyndromic Autosomal Dominant Oligodontia with A Novel Mutation of Pax9-A Clinical and Genetic Report [PDF]
Oligodontia is congenital absence of one or more teeth which has familial abnormality and attributable to various mutations or polymorphisms of genes often associated with malformative syndromes.
