Abstract
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. Congenital heart defects are prevalent in 22q11.2DS but the etiology is still poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to gain mechanistic insights into the heart defects that result from 22q11.2 deletion, with a focus on Slc25a1, which is located in the deletion segment. Whereas global knockout of Slc25a1 in mice produced a variety of heart malformations, cardiac deletion of Slc25a1 had little effect on heart development. We then found that trophoblast-specific Slc25a1 deletion recapitulated heart anomalies in the global knockout mice. Further study identified SLC25A1 as a regulator of trophoblast and placental development through modulation of histone H3K27 acetylation at the promoters and enhancers of key genes involved in trophoblast differentiation. Finally, administration of recombinant human pregnancy-specific glycoprotein 1 (PSG1), a trophoblast-derived secretory glycoprotein, partially corrected placental and embryonic heart defects. This study defines the role of SLC25A1 in heart development by regulating placental development, and provides new insights to understand the etiology of 22q11.2DS.
期刊介绍:
Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community.
Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication.
To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
