Regulation of laminin and COUP-TF expression in extraembryonic endodermal cells.
Laminin expression and the subsequent deposition of a basement membrane by primitive endoderm cells is necessary for early mammalian development. We demonstrate that the transcription factors COUP-TF I and II are up-regulated in primitive endoderm cells faster than LAMB1 and LAMC1, and that either COUP-TF is sufficient to induce expression of these laminin genes.
