摘要
In a screen for potential targets of regulation by TWIST in mouse embryos we isolated a fragment with homology to type 11 early transposon (ETn) and type D endogenous provirus (MusD) elements. Whole-mount in situ hybridization to E7.5-E13.5 mouse embryos reveals a tissue- and stage-specific expression pattern that contrasts with the previously reported lack of expression of ETn elements in mouse embryos beyond late gastrulation. Transcripts were detected in the epiblast at E7.5 and in the neural tube from E8.5 to E10.5. Later expression is predominantly confined to the mesodermal tissues of cramofacial structures, limb buds and somites. The tissue specificity of expression suggests tight regulation of the activity of this early transposon element during embryogenesis. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
