Various growth factors are necessary for normal embryonic development and EGF receptors are present in developing palatal shelves of embryonic/fetal mice at least from day 12 of gestation. The medial epithelium of the palatal shelf undergoes a series of developmental events which do not occur in the oral and nasal epithelia. In utero and in organ culture, the control palatal medial epithelium shows a developmental decline in EGF receptors, demonstrated both by a decrease in the binding of antibody to EGF receptors and a decrease in the binding of 125I-EGF; decreases which are not observed in cells of the adjacent oral or nasal epithelium. During this period, medial cells cease DNA synthesis and undergo programmed cell death. Medial epithelial cells exposed to all-trans-retinoic acid continue to express EGF receptors, bind EGF, proliferate, fail to undergo programmed cell death and exhibit a morphology typical of nasal cells. The data suggest that this disturbance by retinoic acid of EGF receptor localization and subsequent alterations in differentiation of the epithelial cells plays a role in the retinoic-acid-mediated induction of cleft palate.
