During its development the epidermis of the pf pf mutant mouse is invaded by cells from the underlying dermis. These invading cells establish a network of cells including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and nerve fibers, throughout the epidermis. Subsequent to these events the keratohyalin protein, filaggrin, is drastically reduced and keratinization fails to occur. Heterotypic tissue recombinations indicate that the pf gene is not expressed in the skin. After simply grafting whole mutant dorsal skin, filaggrin synthesis is initiated and an orderly process of epidermal differentiation is achieved. These results suggest that the pf gene acts systemically and that the failure of epidermal differentiation in the mutant occurs secondary to abnormal epidermal organization.
