Restriction of Rho signaling by the RhoGAP STARD13 integrates growth and morphogenesis in the pancreas

Petzold, Kristin 11 December 2012 (has links)
Diese Dissertation analysiert zum ersten Mal STARD13, ein Protein mit einer RhoGAP-Domäne, und dessen Rolle als essentiellen Regulator der Pankreasarchitektur im Mausembryo. Es wird gezeigt, dass Stard13 anfangs im pankreatischen Endoderm exprimiert wird und später in den “Epithelspitzen” angereichert ist. Konditionelle Ablation von Stard13 im Mauspankreas beeinflusst die normale Epithelmorphogenese und die Organisation der “Epithelspitzen”. Das beeinträchtigt die Proliferation der Pankreasvorläuferzellen und führt zu Organhypoplasie. Dabei reguliert STARD13 örtlich und zeitlich Rho-Signale, die für die Morphogenese essentiell sind. Desweiteren werden die Mechanismen, die für die Entwicklung des Pankreasepithels in ein funktionierendes Organ notwendig sind, neu beleuchtet. Es wird zum Beispiel eine funktionelle Verbindung zwischen Rho-vermittelter Kontrolle der Epithelumgestaltung und der Determinierung der Organgröße hergestellt. Dabei spielt die reziproke Interaktion von actin-MAL-SRF and MAPK Signalen eine wichtige Rolle. / The development of functional organ architecture relies on coordinated morphogenesis and growth. In the developing pancreas, the branching epithelium is organized in discrete domains that delineate one specific domain of progenitor cells at the tip of the branches. Very little is known about branching morphogenesis in the pancreas and how it is coordinated with proliferation. This thesis presents the first analysis of the RhoGAP-domain-containing protein STARD13 and its role as an essential regulator of pancreas tissue architecture in the mammalian embryo. It is shown that Stard13 is expressed in the pancreatic endoderm and enriched at the distal tip of the branching epithelium. Conditional ablation of Stard13 expression in the mouse pancreas disrupts epithelial morphogenesis and tip domain organization, resulting in hampered proliferation of pancreatic progenitors and subsequent organ hypoplasia. Stard13 acts by regulating Rho signaling spatially and temporally during pancreas development. This thesis provides new insights into the mechanisms that shape pancreatic epithelium to create a mature organ and establishes a functional link between Rho-mediated control of epithelial remodeling and organ size determination, involving reciprocal interaction of actin-MAL-SRF and MAPK signaling.
