Abstract
We suggest that in CGCG and PGCG of the jaws, PTHrP-positive immature osteoblasts activate PTHR1-positive mature osteoblasts to produce RANKL which interacts with RANK on the PTHrP/PTHR1-positive osteoclast-precursor cells found in abundance in the stroma of giant cell lesions and induces osteoclast...

Abstract
We have confirmed that 2.75 mg/kg body weight OTA, given at gestational day 7.5, induces significant developmental craniofacial anomalies in mice and we have demonstrated the down expression of Dlx5, a member of Dlx gene family, that seems to be responsible of the observed deformities. These results...

Abstract
We sequenced the MSX1 gene of three unrelated patients with sporadic, non-syndromic oligodontia: 2 boys aged 8.5 and 15 years old and one girl aged 15.5 years old. We have thus identified a homozygotic deletion of 11 nucleotides in the intron, near the 5' splicing site, in two patients, who also car...

Abstract
Vertebrate Msx sequences sort into distinct Msx1, Msx2 and Msx3 clades. The sister-group relationship between MSX1 and MSX2 reflects their derivation from the 4p/5q chromosomal paralogon, a derivative of the original "MetaHox" cluster. We demonstrate physical linkage between Msx and other MetaHox ge...

Abstract
We used transgenic mice with a knock-in for Msx1 or Msx2. Msx expression was analyzed on whole-mount experiments on heterozygous mice. The results were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR on mandible and tibia samples. Steady-state levels of Msx2 mRNA were determined at 2 ages, at postnatal day 14 and...

Abstract
Our group showed that the Msx1 gene is submitted to bidirectional transcription generating a long noncoding antisense (AS) RNA. During tooth development, Msx1 sense (S) and AS RNAs showed specific patterns of expression. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze the relation between Msx1 S a...

In 37 litters consisting of 163 pups, we found 47 affected pups in a total population of 2104. The male:female ratio was 1:0.96. Affected pups showed isolated cleft lip and/or cleft palate; no attendant disorders have been reported. Despite a high degree of relationship, two affected pups displayed...

Abstract
There were six up- and four down-regulated miRNAs. Because every miRNA regulates hundreds of genes, we focused only on those related to bone formation. Among them, the most notable are BMP4 and 7, which are both up-regulated in osteoblasts cultured on Ti disks. CONCLUSION: The detected miRNAs differ...

We could analyze the expression of these homeogenes in the adult mouse. We observed that Msx genes are prominently expressed in a subset of blood vessels. The Msx2nlacZ allele is mainly expressed in a restricted population of mural cells in peripheral arteries and veins. Msx1nlacZ is expressed to a...

Abstract
Employing an yeast 2-hybrid screen and subsequent in vitro pull-down experiments we demonstrate that muscle segment homeobox genes Msx1 and Msx2 are able to bind the cardiac T-box proteins Tbx2, Tbx3, and Tbx5. This interaction, as that of the related Nkx2.5 protein, is supported by the T-box and ho...

We describe ultrasensitivity, the phenomenon equivalent to an all-or-none response, in dissociated neural precursor cells (NPCs) exposed to bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4). NPC ultrasensitivity is evident at the population and single-cell levels based on Msx1 induction, a well known Bmp target r...

Abstract
We show that redifferentiation does not occur by endochondral ossification but by the direct ossification of blastema cells that form the rudiment of the digit tip. Once formed the rudiment elongates by appositional ossification in parallel with unamputated control digits. Regenerated digits are con...

Abstract
We report that inducible expression of PHOX2B in the neuroblastoma cell line SJNB-8 down-regulates MSX1, a homeobox gene important for embryonic neural crest development. Inducible expression of MSX1 in SJNB-8 caused inhibition of both cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar. Affymetrix...

While both Msx1-/- and Msx2-/- single homozygous mutant mice exhibited normal valve formation, we observed hypoplastic AV cushions and malformed AV valves in Msx1-/-; Msx2-/- mutants, indicating redundant functions of Msx1 and Msx2 during AV valve morphogenesis. In Msx1/2 null mutant AV cushions, we...

Abstract
We show that mice lacking Smad4 in NCCs have persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA), severe OFT cushion hypoplasia, defective OFT elongation, and mispositioning of the OFT. Cardiac NCCs lacking Smad4 have increased apoptosis, apparently due to decreased Msx1/2 expression. This contributes to the reduct...

We chose to explore the molecular relationship between Pax9, Msx1 and Bmp4. In humans, unlike in mice, a heterozygous mutation in either PAX9 or MSX1 suffices to cause tooth agenesis of a predominantly molar or more premolar pattern, respectively. Our laboratory and others have identified several PA...

Abstract
We show that combined deficiencies of Msx1 and Msx2 cause conotruncal anomalies associated with malalignment of the cardiac outflow tract (OFT). Msx1 and Msx2 play dual roles in outflow tract morphogenesis by both protecting secondary heart field (SHF) precursors against apoptosis and inhibiting exc...

We therefore produced conditional alleles of Msx1 and Msx2. We constructed targeting vectors with LoxP sites flanking the homeodomain-encoding second exons and Frt sites flanking a neo gene. These vectors were used to produce targeted ES cells and mice with floxed alleles. The functionality of the L...
