Abstract
Treatment of primary cultures of palate mesenchyme cells from AJAX strain embryos with dexamethasone inhibited only phospholipase activity expressed at pH 7.5. A similar treatment did not have such an effect on palate mesenchyme cells from C57BL/6J strain embryos. Since the AJAX strain embryo is sensitive to the induction of cleft palate by exogenous glucocorticoids and the C57BL/6J strain is less so, these data allow consideration of phospholipase activity as a site of regulation for development of the palate.
