Rare variants in <i>CAPN2</i> increase risk for isolated hypoplastic left heart syndrome
HUMAN GENETICS AND GENOMICS ADVANCES, 4(4).
TL;DR:
The findings show that iHLHS is typically not a Mendelian condition, demonstrate that CAPN2 variants increase risk of i HLHS, and identify a novel pathway involved in HLHS pathogenesis.

Single-minded 2 is required for left-right asymmetric stomach morphogenesis
DEVELOPMENT, 148(17).
author keywords: right asymmetry; Stomach; Morphogenesis; Pitx2; Sim2; Down syndrome; Frog
MeSH headings : Animals; Anura; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / genetics; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / metabolism; Body Patterning; Embryo, Nonmammalian; Endoderm / embryology; Endoderm / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homeodomain Proteins / genetics; Homeodomain Proteins / metabolism; Morphogenesis; Stomach / embryology; Transcription Factors / genetics; Transcription Factors / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that sim2 functions downstream of LR patterning cues to regulate key cellular properties and behaviors in the left stomach epithelium that drive asymmetric curvature, and has implications for dose-dependent roles of laterality factors in non-laterality-related birth defects.

Vangl2 coordinates cell rearrangements during gut elongation
DEVELOPMENTAL DYNAMICS, 248(7), 569–582.
author keywords: Vangl2; endoderm; gut; Xenopus; morphogenesis; elongation
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning; Cell Adhesion; Cell Movement; Cell Polarity; Endoderm / cytology; Intestines / anatomy & histology; Intestines / growth & development; Membrane Proteins / metabolism; Membrane Proteins / physiology; Morphogenesis; Xenopus Proteins / metabolism; Xenopus Proteins / physiology; Xenopus laevis / growth & development
TL;DR:
The embryonic gut tube undergoes extensive lengthening to generate the surface area required for nutrient absorption across the digestive epithelium in Xenopus, a process that concomitantly opens the gut lumen and facilitates epithelial morphogenesis.

TL;DR:
A non-classical function of acetylcholinesterase in the polarization, rearrangement and adhesion of endoderm cells during Xenopus gut morphogenesis is identified and has wide-reaching implications for development and toxicology.

Jun N-terminal kinase maintains tissue integrity during cell rearrangement in the gut
DEVELOPMENT, 140(7), 1457–1466.
author keywords: JNK; Rho kinase; Endoderm; Gut; Intestine; Morphogenesis; Xenopus
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Body Patterning / genetics; Body Patterning / physiology; Cell Adhesion / genetics; Cell Movement / genetics; Cell Movement / physiology; Embryo, Nonmammalian; Endoderm / embryology; Endoderm / metabolism; Gastrula / cytology; Gastrula / embryology; Gastrula / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Intestinal Mucosa / cytology; Intestinal Mucosa / metabolism; Intestinal Mucosa / physiology; JNK Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases / genetics; JNK Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases / metabolism; JNK Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases / physiology; Microtubules / genetics; Microtubules / metabolism; Models, Biological; Permeability; Xenopus / embryology; Xenopus / genetics; Xenopus / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is shown that JNK activity is indispensable for the rearrangement of endoderm cells that underlies the elongation of the Xenopus gut tube, and sheds new light on the means by which intra- and intercellular forces are balanced to promote topological change, while preserving structural integrity, in numerous morphogenetic contexts.

Heterotaxin: A TGF-beta Signaling Inhibitor Identified in a Multi-Phenotype Profiling Screen in Xenopus Embryos
CHEMISTRY & BIOLOGY, 18(2), 252–263.
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Line; Drug Evaluation, Preclinical; Embryo, Nonmammalian / abnormalities; Embryo, Nonmammalian / cytology; Embryo, Nonmammalian / drug effects; Embryo, Nonmammalian / metabolism; Humans; Intracellular Space / drug effects; Intracellular Space / metabolism; Neovascularization, Physiologic / drug effects; Phenotype; Pyridines / chemistry; Pyridines / pharmacology; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Stereoisomerism; Structure-Activity Relationship; Transforming Growth Factor beta / metabolism; Xenopus laevis
TL;DR:
A small molecule screen for left-right asymmetry phenotypes in Xenopus embryos is performed and a pyridine analog, heterotaxin, is discovered, which disrupts both cardiovascular and digestive organ laterality and inhibits TGF-β-dependent left- right asymmetric gene expression.

TL;DR:
A novel and efficient synthetic route for incorporating photocaged monomeric building blocks directly into morpholino oligomers is reported and the utility of these caged morpholinos in the light-activated control of gene function in both cell culture and living embryos is demonstrated.
