Assembling neural crest regulatory circuits into a gene regulatory network.
The neural crest is a multipotent stem cell–like population that gives rise to a wide range of derivatives in the vertebrate embryo including elements of the craniofacial skeleton and peripheral nervous system as well as melanocytes. The neural crest forms in a series of regulatory steps that include induction and specification of the prospective neural crest territory–neural plat...
متن کاملS21-04. Gene regulatory network underlying neural crest formation
We know a great deal about the mechanisms controlling common cellular processes, but still do not understand how cells communicate to ensure that they stretch in a coordinate manner. For instance, C. elegans embryonic morphogenesis relies on cell shape changes within the epidermis and on epidermis-muscles interactions. I will illustrate the importance of forces and tension during morphogenesis ...
متن کاملEstablishing neural crest identity: a gene regulatory recipe.
The neural crest is a stem/progenitor cell population that contributes to a wide variety of derivatives, including sensory and autonomic ganglia, cartilage and bone of the face and pigment cells of the skin. Unique to vertebrate embryos, it has served as an excellent model system for the study of cell behavior and identity owing to its multipotency, motility and ability to form a broad array of...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation by Pax3 and TGFbeta2 signaling: a potential gene regulatory network in neural crest development.
Pax3 regulates neural crest cell migration and is critical during neural crest development. TGFbs modify neural crest cell migration and differentiation. TGFbeta2 nullizygous embryos (TGFbeta2(-/-)Pax3(+/+)) display open neural tube and bifid spine, whereas in wild type embryos, the neural tube is closed. In previous work, we have demonstrated that Pax3 regulates TGFbeta2 by directly binding to...
متن کاملA direct role for murine Cdx proteins in the trunk neural crest gene regulatory network.
Numerous studies in chordates and arthropods currently indicate that Cdx proteins have a major ancestral role in the organization of post-head tissues. In urochordate embryos, Cdx loss-of-function has been shown to impair axial elongation, neural tube (NT) closure and pigment cell development. Intriguingly, in contrast to axial elongation and NT closure, a Cdx role in neural crest (NC)-derived ...
