Microarray expression profiling of the Igf2 pathway dependency of Trp53 developmental and tumour phenotypes in mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We tested whether loss of p53 function leads to insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) pathway dependency in vivo in genetically defined mouse models. Unexpectedly we found lethality, due to post-natal lung haemorrhage, occurred in Igf2 paternal null allele female mice (Igf2-p) but only if derived from double heterozygote fathers (Igf2-p, p53+/-). Consequently we investigated the effects of paternal genotype (wild-type, Igf2-p and Igf2-p, p53+/-) on gene expression. Microarray gene expression profiling of whole mouse embryos (embryonic day 9.5) revealed that lethality was associated with a specific gene signature. Since double heterozygote female offspring (Igf2-p, p53+/-) of Igf2-p, p53+/- fathers did not have the lethality phenotype we identified gene expression changes associated with this 'rescue'.
