abstractText | Oncostatin M (OSM), which is predominantly expressed in bone marrow, is a member of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines, and appears to play important roles in hematopoiesis and the development of the liver. Recently, specific beta subunit of OSM receptor (OSMRbeta) was isolated from LO cells originated from aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. In this study, we performed in situ hybridization to explore the expression pattern of OSMRbeta during murine embryogenesis, postnatal development, and in adult tissues. At 11.5 days postcoitum (dpc), the expression of OSMRbeta was first detected in aortic endothelial cells of the AGM region. At 14.5dpc, its gene expression was clearly observed in the primordia of some organs, including liver, thymus, choroid plexus, and limb, and persisted into postnatal mice. After birth, its gene expression became detectable in the other organs, such as lymph node, bone, heart, kidney, small intestine, nasal cavity, and lung. |
