Mouse Eye TGF-beta Model
Summary of the TGFβ-dependent development of anterior and posterior ocular structures.
(a) Neural crest-derived cells (NC, blue) contribute to structures of the anterior eye segment and the primary vitreous (PV).
- TGFβ signaling is involved in the formation of the ciliary body (CB) and the trabecular meshwork (TM), and in control of PV growth.
- Moreover, normal PV development and/or TGFβ signaling are important for correct retinal patterning.
(b) In the cornea, prospective stromal keratocytes and endothelial cells are of neural crest origin.
- Here, TGFβ signaling is needed for the expression of the transcription factors Foxc1 and Pitx2 and for normal differentiation of NC-derived cells into collagen-synthesizing stromal keratocytes.
- Moreover, in forming corneal endothelial cells (and in the TM), expression of Foxc1 and cell survival requires TGFβ signalling.
