Genome-wide identification of Foxf2 transcriptional target genes in tongue development
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The tongue is a specialized muscular organ that performs multiple essential functions including mastication, deglutition, oral sensation, oral cleansing, airway maintenance and vocalization. In this study, we show Foxf1/Foxf2 serves as key mediators of hedgehog signaling in regulating myoblast migration, differentiation, and intrinsic tongue muscle organization. We took advantage of the Foxf2FLAG mice which carries 3xFLAG epitope-tagged endogenous Foxf2 protein and characterized genome-wide Foxf2 binding sites in the developing tongues using chromatin immunoprecipitation and genome sequencing (ChIP-seq). Further analyses demonstrate that Foxf1/2 transcription factors directly control the expression of Hgf, Tgfb2, and Tgfb3, to regulate tongue myogenesis.
