Mesenchymal expression of Tbx4 gene is not altered in Adriamycin mouse model.
- The Adriamycin mouse model (AMM) is a reproducible teratogenic model of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF). Tbx4 is a member of the T-box family of transcription factor genes, which is reported to play a key role in separation of the respiratory tract and the esophagus. Up-regulation of Tbx4 is reported to cause TEF in the chick. Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a technique that allows three-dimensional (3D) imaging of gene expression in small tissue specimens in an anatomical context. The aim of this study was to investigate the temporo-spatial expression of Tbx4 during the critical period of separation of the trachea and esophagus in normal and Adriamycin treated embryos using OPT.
