Expression of LEF1 mRNA in Feather Follicles during Goose Embry-onic Period
To understand the role of LEF1 gene on the development of feather follicle during goose embryonic period,Jilin white goose at E12,18 and 28 and Carlos goose at E13,18 and 28 were used as experimental animals.The histological observation of skin tissues was conducted by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining method.Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect and analyze the rela-tive expression level of LEF1 gene in the back skin with feather follicle during goose embryonic pe-riod.The results showed that the embryonic stage was the primary development stage of the primary feather follicle in goose,and the developmental speed of feather follicle in Carlos goose was faster than that in Jilin white goose.The LEF1 gene was expressed in the feather follicle during both Carlos goose and Jilin white goose embryonic period,and reached the peak at E18,suggesting that LEF1 gene may play a role to some extend in the processing of Carlos goose and Jilin white goose embry-onic feather follicle development.
