The thymus and parathyroids develop from third pharyngeal pouch (3rd pp)
endoderm. Our previous studies show that Shh null mice have smaller, aparathyroid
primordia in which thymus fate specification extends into the pharynx. SHH
signaling is active in both dorsal pouch endoderm and neighboring neural crest
(NC) mesenchyme. It is unclear which target tissue of SHH signaling is required
for the patterning defects in Shh mutants. Here, we used a genetic approach to
ectopically activate or delete the SHH signal transducer Smo in either pp
endoderm or NC mesenchyme. Although no manipulation recapitulated the Shh null
phenotype, manipulation of SHH signaling in either the endoderm or NC mesenchyme
had direct and indirect effects on both cell types during fate specification and
organogenesis. SHH pathway activation throughout pouch endoderm activated ectopic
Tbx1 expression and partially suppressed the thymus-specific transcription factor
Foxn1, identifying Tbx1 as a key target of SHH signaling in the 3rd pp. However,
ectopic SHH signaling was insufficient to expand the GCM2-positive parathyroid
domain, indicating that multiple inputs, some of which might be independent of
SHH signaling, are required for parathyroid fate specification. These data
support a model in which SHH signaling plays both positive and negative roles in
patterning and organogenesis of the thymus and parathyroids.
