IntroductionCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and associated pulmonary hypoplasia (PH) are thought to originate from mesenchymal defects in pleuroperitoneal folds (PPFs) and primordial lungs. Pre-B-cell leukemia homeobox 1 (Pbx1), its binding partner myeloid ecotropic integration site 1 (Meis1), and runt-related transcription factor 1 (Runx1) are expressed in diaphragmatic and lung mesenchyme, functioning as transcription cofactors that modulate mesenchymal cell proliferation. Furthermore,Pbx1−/−mice develop diaphragmatic defects and PH similar to human CDH. We hypothesized that diaphragmatic and pulmonaryPbx1,Meis1, andRunx1expression is decreased in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.Materials and MethodsTime-mated rats were exposed to nitrofen or vehicle on gestational day 9 (D9). Fetal diaphragms (n= 72) and lungs (n= 48) were microdissected on D13, D15, and D18, and were divided into control and nitrofen-exposed specimens. Diaphragmatic and pulmonary gene expression levels ofPbx1, Meis1,andRunx1were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immunofluorescence-double-staining forPbx1,Meis1, andRunx1was combined with mesenchymal/myogenic markers Gata4 and myogenin to evaluate protein expression.ResultsRelative mRNA expression ofPbx1, Meis1,andRunx1was significantly decreased in PPFs (D13), developing diaphragms/lungs (D15), and muscularized diaphragms/differentiated lungs (D18) of nitrofen-exposed fetuses compared with controls. Confocal-laser-scanning-microscopy revealed markedly diminishedPbx1,Meis1, andRunx1immunofluorescence in diaphragmatic and pulmonary mesenchyme, associated with less proliferating mesenchymal cells in nitrofen-exposed fetuses on D13, D15, and D18 compared with controls.ConclusionDecreasedPbx1,Meis1, andRunx1expression during diaphragmatic development and lung branching morphogenesis may reduce mesenchymal cell proliferation, causing malformed PPFs and disrupted airway branching, thus leading to diaphragmatic defects and PH in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.
