Gastrulation in rodents is associated with an increase in the rate of growth and with the start of differentiation within the embryo proper. In an effort to understand the role played by the cell cycle control in these processes, expression of cyclin D1, D2, and D3--three major positive regulators of the G1/S transition--has been investigated by in situ hybrization and RT-PCR. Cyclin D1 and D2 transcripts are first detected in the epiblast at gastrulation, when a proliferative burst occurs, and subsequently in its differentiated derivatives within the embryo proper, indicating that activation of their expression takes place prior to the differentiation of epiblast progenitors. In contrast, cyclin D3 transcript is undetectable in the epiblast itself and its expression is activated exclusively in extraembryonic tissues of both epiblast and trophoblast origin. During neurulation, expression of each cyclin D RNA is dynamically regulated along the anterior-posterior axis. In the hindbrain, cyclin D1 and D2 show distinct segment-specific restricted expression and this pattern is conserved between mouse and chick. These results strongly suggest that D-type cyclins act as developmental regulators. |
