RESUMO
Expression of cytokeratin endo A has been analyzed during mouse blastocyst formation and embryonal carcinoma cell differentiation. To study the regulation of endo A expression, nuclease S1 mapping experiments have been performed on RNA extracted from two-cell to 7.5-day embryos. Low levels of endo A mRNA begin to be detectable in eight-cell embryos. The amount of this mRNA increases at the blastocyst stage, suggesting that endo A expression is regulated at the mRNA level during blastocyst formation. At this stage, in situ hybridization studies show that endo A mRNA is present in the trophectoderm but not in the inner cell mass. In 7.5-day embryos, endo A mRNAs are also detectable in the endoderm layer and in the amnion.
