Accelerated re-epithelialization inDpr2-deficient mice is associated with enhanced response to TGFβ signaling

Abstract: Members of the Dapper (Dpr)/Dact protein family are involved in the regulation of distinct signaling pathways, including TGFβ/Nodal, canonical and noncanonical Wnt pathways. Three Dpr genes, Dpr1, Dpr2 and Dpr3, are expressed in mouse embryos and in many adult tissues; however, their in vivo functions have not been reported. In this study, we generated Dpr2-deficient mice using a gene-knockout approach. Homozygous Dpr2 knockout (Dpr2–/–) embryos developed normally and postnatal Dpr2–/– mice grew to adulthood w… Show more

“…Four 4-mm full-thickness cutaneous biopsy punch wounds were generated in the back skin of the gene-deficient mice and control littermates (16). The mice were killed at different time points (3, 5, 7 days) after injury and wounds were excised including 2 mm of the epidermal margins for RNA or protein isolation.…”

“…We have also demonstrated that zebrafish and mouse Dpr2 inhibit transforming growth factor-␤ (TGF-␤)/Nodal signaling by promoting degradation of their type I receptors (25,29). Studies with knock-out mouse models revealed that Dpr2 functions in reepithelialization of skin wounds by attenuating TGF-␤ signaling (30), whereas Dpr1 plays a critical role in PCP signaling during development of mice (31,32). Dpr1 regulates morphogenesis of the primitive streak by controlling Vangl2 activity (31) or modulates PCP signaling in early embryos by controlling the level and the cellular localization of Dvl proteins (32).…”
