Loss of Cubilin, the intrinsic factor-vitamin B12 receptor, impairs visceral endoderm endocytosis and endodermal patterning in the mouse

Résumé

The visceral endoderm is a polarized epithelial monolayer necessary for early embryonic development in rodents. A key feature of this epithelium is an active endocytosis and degradation of maternal nutrients, in addition to being the source of various signaling molecules or inhibitors required for the differentiation and patterning of adjacent embryonic tissues. Endocytosis across the visceral endoderm epithelium involves specific cell surface receptors and an extensive sub-membrane vesicular system with numerous apical vacuoles/lysosomes. We previously reported that Cubilin, the endocytic receptor for intrinsic factor-vitamin B12, albumin and apolipoproteinA-I/HDL allows maternal nutrient uptake by the visceral endoderm. In the present study, we show that the germline ablation of Cubilin impairs endodermal and mesodermal patterning, and results in developmental arrest at gastrulation. Notably, visceral endoderm dispersal is impeded in Cubilin null embryos. We further confirm the essential role of Cubilin in nutrient internalization by the early visceral endoderm and highlight its involvement in the formation of apical vacuoles. Our results reveal essential roles for Cubilin in early embryonic development, and suggest that in addition to its nutritive function, Cubilin sustains signaling pathways involved in embryonic differentiation and patterning.
