The nitrofen model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) reproduces a typical diaphragmatic defect. However, the exact pathomechanism of CDH is still unknown. The Wilm's tumor 1 gene (WT1) is crucial for diaphragmatic development. Mutations in WT1 associated with CDH have been described in humans. Additionally, WT1(-/-) mice display CDH. Furthermore, WT1 is involved in the retinoid signaling pathway, a candidate pathway for CDH. We hypothesized that diaphragmatic WT1 gene expression is downregulated during diaphragmatic development in the nitrofen CDH model.
