CXXC Finger Protein 1 drives BMP signaling and progenitor cell differentiation during limb development
The mechanisms mediating endochondral bone formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that CXXC Finger Protein 1 (CFP1) is required for the onset of chondrogenesis during forelimb development. CFP1-deficient mesenchymal progenitor cells (LMPs) retain an immature molecular signature with elevated FGF and SHH signaling and repressed BMP signaling, in part, due to (1) reduced expression of type I BMP receptors, (2) reduced Smad1 protein levels and (3) an altered extracellular niche. Moreover, the addition of exogenous BMP ligand or antagonism of heparan sulfate restores LMP differentiation toward a chondrogenic fate and enhances BMP signaling, suggesting a defect in BMP ligand bioavailability mediates the CFP1-deficient LMP phenotype. Together, these findings define CFP1 as a gatekeeper between the undifferentiated and differentiated state of LMPs during endochondral bone formation and as a physiological regulator of BMP signaling.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.
