http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/11330859http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Palatal clefting is often associated with premature fusion of cranial sutures in human craniosynostosis syndromes, many of which are characterised by mutations affecting the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene family. In palatal fusion, epithelio-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to the dispersion of the midline epithelial seam. EMT has also been observed in neoplastic epithelial cells in relation to the acquisition of malignant characteristics where morphological changes are accompanied by rapid switching in the expression of fgfr2 from the epithelial type (kgfr) to the mesenchymal type (bek). The twist gene codes for a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor putatively involved in regulation of transcription of fgfr2. Mutations in the TWIST gene have been described as being responsible for the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis associated with cleft palate as well as other disturbances of the facial skeleton. In this study we have analysed the distribution of twist transcripts during rat palatogenesis in vivo from 14.5 to 17.5 days post coitum by in situ hybridisation with digoxygenin-labelled ssDNA probes. twist transcripts were found to be concentrated in mesenchymal cells beneath the epithelium at the tip of the palatal shelves immediately prior to, and during fusion as well as in a localised epithelial area at the tip of the shelves prior to fusion, thereby implicating twist gene expression in the process of palatogenesis. This pattern of expression illuminates the disturbances of maxillary growth that occur in human craniosynostotic syndromes."xsd:string
