“…The latter has been described in the Ptx1 mutant mouse (Bergwerff et al, 1998), which, however, cannot yet be conclusively linked to the findings in 14-3-3e À/À hearts or p27 Kip1 expression. Nevertheless, all differentiated cellular contributions to the arterial pole vasculature express 14-3-3e (McConnell et al, 1995) and p27 Kip1 (Neukamm et al, 2008;Sakai et al, 2010). Remodeling of the aortic (pharyngeal) arch arteries is known to be related to NCC and the second heart field (Bartram et al, 2001;Molin et al, 2002;Molin et al, 2003;Poelmann et al, 2004;Ward et al, 2005;High and Epstein, 2008;Keyte and Hutson, 2012), as well as Notch (High and Epstein, 2008) and TGFb signaling (Bartram et al, 2001;Molin et al, 2002;Molin et al, 2003).…”
