Constitutively active mutation of ACVR1 in oral epithelium causes submucous cleft palate in mice

Abstract: Cleft palate is among the most common human birth defects. Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a subgroup of cleft palate, which may be as common as overt cleft palate. Despite the high frequency of SMCP in humans, only recently have several animal models of SMCP begun to provide insight into the mechanisms by which SMCP develops. In this study, we show that enhanced BMP signaling through constitutively active ACVR1 in palatal epithelium causes submucous cleft palate in mice. In these mutant mice, the fusion of b… Show more

“…Staining of bone and cartilage of embryos with Alizarin red/ Alcian blue was carried out as described previously (60). H&E staining, immunofluorescent staining, and TUNEL assays of paraffin sections were performed as described previously (61). The von Kossa staining was performed using a von Kossa staining kit (Abcam; ab150687).…”

“…The type I receptor ActRI/ALK-2 has also been proposed to mediate TGF-b3 signals in the palate epithelium, possibly acting in a less potent manner (Fig. 3) (Noda et al 2015). However, ActRI acts during palatal fusion as a BMP signaling receptor, which activates BMP-specific Smad proteins (Noda et al 2015).…”

“…3) (Noda et al 2015). However, ActRI acts during palatal fusion as a BMP signaling receptor, which activates BMP-specific Smad proteins (Noda et al 2015). An activated mutant of ActRI induces BMP Smad signaling and causes cleft palate because the epithelial layer in the medial edge fails to undergo apoptosis and has increased proliferation, and the mesenchymal and muscle layers fail to fuse (Noda et al 2015).…”

“…BMP signaling is also involved in regulating maturation and ossification of the fused palate. A constitutively active mutation of Acvr1 in oral epithelium causes a submucosal cleft palate in mice [105]. Enhanced BMP signaling resulted in altered proliferation and apoptosis in the medial edge epithelium leading to its persistence, thereby preventing fusion of palatal mesenchyme and muscle tissue (Fig.…”
