Defects in this maturation process can result in malpositioned ureters and hydronephrosis, a common cause of renal disease in children. Here, we report that insertion of the ND into the cloaca is an unrecognized but crucial step that is required for proper positioning of the ureter and that depends on Ret signaling. Analysis of Ret mutant mice at birth reveals hydronephrosis and defective ureter maturation, abnormalities that our results suggest are caused, at least in part, by delayed insertion of the ND. We find a similar set of malformations in mutants lacking either Gata3 or Raldh2. We show that these factors act in parallel to regulate ND insertion via Ret. Morphological analysis of ND extension in wild-type embryos reveals elaborate cellular protrusions at ND tips that are not detected in Ret, Gata3 or Raldh2 mutant embryos, suggesting that these protrusions may normally be important for fusion with the cloaca. Together, our studies reveal a novel Ret-dependent event, ND insertion, that, when abnormal, can cause obstruction and hydronephrosis at birth; whether ND defects underlie similar types of urinary tract abnormalities in humans is an interesting possibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/dev.056838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,26]],"date-time":"2011-04-26T11:33:05Z","timestamp":1303817585000},"page":"2089-2097","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":93,"title":["Nephric duct insertion is a crucial step in urinary tract maturation that is regulated by a<i>Gata3-Raldh2-Ret<\/i>molecular network in mice"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"138","author":[{"given":"Ian","family":"Chia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Columbia University, 1130 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Grote","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Goodman Cancer Research Centre and Department of Biochemistry, McGill University,1160 Pine Avenue W., Montreal, QC H3A 1A3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Marcotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Goodman Cancer Research Centre and Department of Biochemistry, McGill University,1160 Pine Avenue W., Montreal, QC H3A 1A3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ekaterina","family":"Batourina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Columbia University, 1130 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cathy","family":"Mendelsohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Columbia University, 1130 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maxime","family":"Bouchard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Goodman Cancer Research Centre and Department of Biochemistry, McGill University,1160 Pine Avenue W., Montreal, QC H3A 1A3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","reference":[{"key":"2021042606525892500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1038\/83792","article-title":"Vitamin A controls epithelial\/mesenchymal interactions through Ret expression","volume":"27","author":"Batourina","year":"2001","journal-title":"Nat.
