摘要

SMAD2 is a member of the transforming growth factor #beta# and activin-signaling pathway. To examine the role of Smad2 in postgas- trulation development, we independently generated mice with a null mutation in this gene. Smad2-deficient embryos die around day 7.5 of gestation because of failure of gastrulatian and failure to establish an anteror-posterior (A-P) axis. Expressian of the homeobox gene Hex (the earliest known marker of the A-P polarity and the prospec- tive head organizer) was found to be missing in Smad2-deficient embryos. Homozygous mutant embryos and embryonic stem cells formed mesoderm derivatives revealing that mesoderm induction is SMAD2 independent. In the presence of wild-type extraembryonic tissues, Smad2-deficient embryos developed beyond 7.5 and up to 10.5 days postcoitum, demonstrating a requirement for SMAD2 in extraembryonic tissues for the generation of an A-P axis and gastru- lation. The rescued postgastrulation embryos showed malformation of head structures, abnormal embryo turning, and cyclopia. Our results show that smad2 expression is required at several stages during embryogenesis.
