Abstract
Recently identified second messenger molecules of signal transmission were derived from inositol phospholipid and several phospholipase C(PLC) isoenzyme were reconized. But the role of PLC in embryonal organ development, differentiation and growth is not described, yet. And, Siah gene of mouse is expressed at a higher level in a restricted number of sites during development. So, it is suggested that the Siah gene plays a significant role in development of vertebrates.Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the role of PLC isoenzymes and Siah gene during murine fetal development by use of immunehistochemistry. The results are as follow : 1. PLC-β1 and PLC-γl are expressed apparently at early fetal stage, PLC-βl is observed focally, whereas PLC-γ1 is diffusely expressed. 2. PLC-δ1 is not expressed during early and mid murine fetal age but strongly expressed in placental tissue. 3. PLC-β1 is observed mainly in neural tissues including brain at mid fetal stage. PLC-γ1 is expressed in entire organs, especially in liver tissue, and then their expression is reduced after mid stage. 4. Siah gene product is significantly expressed in olfactory epithelium, retina, neuron of brain and choroid plexus from mid fetal stage to late gestation. These results suggest that PLC-βl play a important role in central neural development and PLC-γ1 in entire orgaans, especially in liver development. The strong expression of PLC-δl in placenta suggest its involvement in early development, indirectly. Siah gene product expressed at a higher levels in olfactory epithelium, retina, neuron and choroid plexus, so Siah gene may play a important role in these organ developments.
