OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to perform morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of the submandibular glands (SMGs) in early development in Apert syndrome model mice (Ap mice).
METHODS: ACTB-Cre homozygous mice were mated with fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (Fgfr2+/Neo-S252W) mice; ACTB-Cre heterozygous mice (ACTB-Cre mice) at embryonic day (E) 13.5 served as the control group, and Fgfr2+/S252W mice (Ap mice) served as the experimental group. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed on SMGs; Total SMG area and epithelial area were determined, and the epithelial occupancy ratio was calculated. Immunostaining was performed to assess the localization of FGF signaling-related proteins. Next, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells were evaluated to assess cell proliferation. Finally, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to assess apoptosis in SMGs.
RESULTS: The epithelial occupancy ratio was significantly higher in SMGs of Ap mice compared with that in SMGs of controls. FGF7 and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) exhibited different localizations in SMGs of Ap mice compared with SMGs of controls. Cell proliferation was higher in SMGs of Ap mice compared with that of controls; however, apoptosis did not different significantly between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that enhanced FGF signaling conferred by missense mutations in FGFR2 promotes branching morphogenesis in SMGs of Ap mice.
