在本期研究中，我們針對了Single-minded基因對斑馬魚頭骨發育的情形利用Morpholino的方式進行該基因的抑制後觀察到頭股的發育發生了相當嚴重的影響，目前正以各種標示基因觀察受Single-minded基因抑制影響的下游基因與頭骨發育間的關係。除此之外，對於環境荷爾蒙與頭骨發育間的關係，我們已完成詳細的觀察，並利用各種標示基因觀察受戴奧辛影響的情形。這項工作已完成論文撰寫的工作，目前已投稿於Molecular pharmacology接受審查中。在下一期的研究中，我們將進一步探討Single-minded基因與其他胚胎發育調控基因間的互動關係，以釐清該基因在胚胎發育中所扮演的角色。 To investigate the function of single-minded gene in vertebrate development, we have microinjected single-minded 2-specific morpholino into zebrafish embryo at 1-cell stage and observed the effects on head skeleton development. By using various markers and Alcian blue staining, we have observed severe cranial cartilage defects in sim2-morpholino injected embryos. In addition, the cranial cartilage development was severely disrupted by waterborne 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Specifically, the expression profiles of cartilage markers chm1, col2a1 and the col2a1 upstream regulator sox9a, were all disturbed, but not eliminated, by TCDD exposure. It suggested that the TCDD disrupted the process of precartilage condensation, but not chondrogenesis, during cartilage morphogenesis.
