Molecular Mechanisms of Limb Bud Formation

Study demonstrates the shared role of RA in forelimb and hindlimb and an evolutionarily conserved role of the b-catenin pathway in limb induction.

A - During limb induction, an axial signal is required for Raldh2 expression in the LPM, which produces retinoids acid (RA) locally. RA, b-catenin/TCF/LEF, and Hox genes act cooperatively to induce Tbx5 in the late real plate mesoderm (LPM).


B - Subsequently, RA from the somite functions cooperatively with Tbx5 to induce Fgf10 expression. Thus, RA and Tbx transcription factors act in a coherent feed-forward loop (D).


C and D - Fgf10 in limb bud mesenchyme induces Fgf8 expression (C) in the overlying ectoderm to establish an Fgf10-Fgf8 positive feedback loop required for outgrowth (D).
