Psychiatry related information on Yolk Sac

 

High impact information on Yolk Sac

  • However, yolk sac cells from AML1-ETO/+ mice differentiated into macrophages in haematopoietic colony forming unit (CFU) assays, unlike Cbfa2-/- or Cbfb-/-cells, which form no colonies in vitro [7].
  • In the latter we found Hey1 and Hey2 expression in yolk sacs to be strongly reduced [8].
  • Furthermore, c-myc(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) and yolk sac cells are compromised in their differentiative and growth potential [9].
  • Embryonic endothelial-like yolk sac cells expressing recombinant Del1 protein, or grown on an extracellular matrix containing Del1 protein, are inhibited from forming vascular-like structures [10].
  • The isolation of a novel Fc receptor (FcRY) from chicken yolk sac provides insight at the mechanistic level as to how avian maternal immunoglobulin (IgY) is transferred to offspring [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Yolk Sac

 

Biological context of Yolk Sac

  • The cultured rat embryo undergoing organogenesis (9.5-11.5 days of gestation) together with its associated yolk sac synthesize purine nucleotides via the de novo synthetic pathway [17].
  • We have also examined several features of c-myc genomic structure in F9 cells, PYS2 (differentiated parietal yolk sac) cells, and liver--namely, methylation, amplification, and gross organization [18].
  • 5. The E10 yolk sacs and embryos were easier to analyze for vascular phenotype than the fragile poorly formed 8.5 embryos [19].
  • Since the visceral yolk sac is a site of true placentation and nutrient transfer in the rodent, this raises the possibility that visceral yolk sac-derived retinol-binding protein and transthyretin may play important roles in the transport and delivery of retinol from the maternal blood to the developing fetus [20].
  • Retinoid signaling regulates primitive (yolk sac) hematopoiesis [21].

Associations of Yolk Sac with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Yolk Sac

  • 125I-TC-B12 was efficiently endocytosed in a RAP-inhibitable manner in megalin-expressing rat yolk sac carcinoma cells and in vivo microperfused rat proximal tubules [30].
  • Yolk sac cells also expressed low levels of CSF-1R mRNA [31].
  • Overexpression of the tumor suppressor PTEN or of dominant-negative constructs of PI 3-kinase inhibits angiogenesis in the yolk sac of chicken embryos, suggesting that PI 3-kinase and Akt signaling is required for normal embryonal angiogenesis [32].
  • Additionally, mRNA levels of Scl and Gata1 were reduced by approximately 80% in Klf6-/- yolk sacs [33].
  • We examined whole embryos or the cells isolated from embryo proper and yolk sacs and identified both Tpo and c-mpl (Tpo receptor) mRNA transcripts in tissues as early as embryonic day 6.5 (E6.5) [34].
