ABSTRACT: Folic acid is a nutrient essential for embryonic development. Folate deficiency can cause embryolethality or neural tube defects and orofacial anomalies. Folate receptor 1 (Folr1), is a folate binding protein that facilitates the cellular uptake of dietary folate. Animal studies highlighted critical roles of folate in embryogenesis including orofacial development. Orofacial clefts were observed in the offspring of experimental animals on folic acid-deficient diets. Mice lacking Folr1 (the gene encoding folate receptor 1) also demonstrated a variety of orofacial defects. In order to investigate potential roles of Folr1 during embryogenesis and to identify various genes functionally associated with this receptor, total RNA preparations from gestation day (GD)-9.5, Folr1+/+ and Folr1-/- mouse embryos were used to hybridize messenger RNA arrays, to identify genes expressed in wild type (Folr1+/+) and knockout (Folr1-/-) embryos.
