Shp2 Knockdown and Noonan/LEOPARD Mutant Shp2–Induced Gastrulation Defects

Abstract: Shp2 is a cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine phosphatase that is essential for normal development. Activating and inactivating mutations have been identified in humans to cause the related Noonan and LEOPARD syndromes, respectively. The cell biological cause of these syndromes remains to be determined. We have used the zebrafish to assess the role of Shp2 in early development. Here, we report that morpholino-mediated knockdown of Shp2 in zebrafish resulted in defects during gastrulation. Cell tracing experiments dem… Show more

“…Morpholinomediated SHP2 knockdown resulted in early defects in gastrulation, precluding detailed studies of organogenesis; nonetheless, it was apparent that loss of function led to defective cellular movement. Similarly, expression of either LS or NS mutants also resulted in defects in cell convergence and extension, and the embryos also displayed both craniofacial and cardiovascular defects (39). Our data confirm that SHP2 levels are functionally important in the NCCs, modulating ERK1/2 activity and affecting development of the OFT and frontal skull structures.…”

“…The zebrafish has become a valid model for the study of CF development (14). Similar to previously reported zebrafish models of human genetic diseases, observed phenotypes are often more pronounced likely because of the rapid development and associated sensitivity to genetic perturbation (23,24).…”

“…21,22 By using the zebrafish model of LEOPARD syndrome, we first tested the significance of phosphorylation of Tyr542 and Tyr580 of Shp2 and second examined the involvement of EphA2 in the abnormal phenotype. The percentage of cardiac defects of the embryos injected with Shp2T468M/2YF mRNAs was less than those injected with Shp2T468M mRNAs, but more than those injected with wildtype Shp2 mRNAs and those uninjected (Figures 7a and b).…”
