摘要
Previous work has firmly established the role for both GATA4 and FOG2 in the initial global commitment to sexual fate, but their (joint or individual) function in subsequent steps remained unknown. Hence, gonad-specific deletions of these genes in mice were required to reveal their roles in sexual development and gene regulation. The development of tissue-specific Cre lines allowed for substantial advances in the understanding of the function of GATA proteins in sex determination, gonadal differentiation and reproductive development in mice. Here we summarize the recent work that examined the requirement of GATA4 and FOG2 proteins at several critical stages in testis and ovarian differentiation. We also discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in this regulation through the control of Dmrt1 gene expression in the testis and the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in the ovary.
