Effects of embryonic hypoxia on lip formation

Abstract: The upper lip is formed by the fusion of facial processes, a process in which many genetic and environmental factors are involved. Embryonic hypoxia is induced by uterine anemia and the administration of vasoconstrictors during pregnancy. To define the relationship between hypoxia and upper lip formation, hypoxic conditions were created in a whole embryo culture system. Hypoxic embryos showed a high frequency of impaired fusion, reflecting failure in the growth of the lateral nasal process (LNP). In hypoxic em… Show more

“…In these embryos, cell proliferation activity was decreased in the fusion areas following downregulation of genes that are involved in lip formation. These results suggest that embryonic hypoxia during lip and palate formation induces apoptosis in physiologically hypoxic regions and HIF expression 17 . Therefore, we decided to evaluate if polymorphisms in HIF-1A are involved in the etiology of oral clefts in Brazilian families.…”

“…Some experimental in vivo studies 4 , 14 , 17 and observational studies 6 , 9 , 10 , 13 suggest that hypoxia in the first trimester can increase the risk of oral clefts. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to observe that hypoxia during embryonic development can cause oral clefts in zebrafish.…”

“…Similarly, but non‐conclusive findings were published in India and in Japan . The deleterious effect of anaemia may be a consequence of embryonic hypoxia during the first trimester, since it has been described that hypoxia may result in insufficient growth of the facial processes in the developing embryo . The possible role of threatened abortion in the development of cleft palate was already described more than 40 years ago but since then similar findings have not been presented.…”

“…Nagaoka, et al (2012) described the relationship between embryonic hypoxia and UL formation. In hypoxic embryos, the activity of the LNP mesenchymal cell proliferation decreased being accompanied by reduced regulation of the genes being involved in UL formation resulting in insufficient growth of the facial processes [15].…”
