Periodic patterning of iterative structures is diverse across the animal kingdom. Clarifying the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of these structures helps to elucidate the genetic commonality of developmental processes, as organs with these structures are believed to share the same molecular mechanisms and fundamental processes. Palatal rugae are periodic corrugated structures on the hard palate and are conserved in all mammals. Although the numbers and patterns of the palatal rugae are species specific, they are consistent in each mammalian species, except humans.
Palatal rugae development is thus under strict genetic control in most mammals and is an excellent model to investigate the genetic commonality of developmental processes to form periodic patterning.
This review highlights the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of palatal rugae development.
迭代结构的周期性模式在动物界中多种多样。阐明这些结构形成所涉及的分子机制有助于阐明发育过程的遗传共性,因为具有这些结构的器官被认为共享相同的分子机制和基本过程。腭皱襞是硬腭上的周期性波纹状结构,在所有哺乳动物中都存在。尽管腭皱襞的数量和模式具有物种特异性,但在除人类以外的每个哺乳动物物种中都是一致的。
因此,腭皱襞的发育在大多数哺乳动物中受到严格的遗传控制,是研究形成周期性模式的发育过程的遗传共性的优秀模型。
本综述突出了目前对腭皱襞发育分子机制的理解。
