pubmed:abstractText |
To address the requirement for TGFbeta signaling in the formation and maintenance of the vascular matrix, we employed lineage-specific mutation of the type II TGFbeta receptor gene (Tgfbr2) in vascular smooth muscle precursors in mice. In both neural crest- and mesoderm-derived smooth muscle, absence of TGFbeta receptor function resulted in a poorly organized vascular elastic matrix in late-stage embryos which was prone to dilation and aneurysm. This defect represents a failure to initiate formation of the elastic matrix, rather than a failure to maintain a preexisting matrix. In mutant tissue, lysyl oxidase expression was substantially reduced, which may contribute to the observed pathology.
