Contact with isolated sclerotome cells steers sensory growth cones by altering distinct elements of extension.
During pathfinding, growth cones respond to guidance cues by altering their motility. This study shows that motile responses can be highly specific: filopodial contact with two different, physiologically relevant cells differentially alters discrete elements of motility. With each cell type, the responses to contact are invariant. Each cell induces a distinct response in sensory growth cones wi...
متن کاملIdentification of an invariant response: stable contact with schwann cells induces veil extension in sensory growth cones.
Growth cones sense cues by filopodial contact, but how their motility is altered by contact remains unclear. Although contact could alter motile dynamics in complex ways, our analysis shows that stable contact with Schwann cells induces motility changes that are remarkably discrete and invariant. Filopodial contact invariably induces local veil extension. Even when contacts are brief, veils alw...
متن کاملContact-mediated mechanisms of motor axon segmentation.
In the chick embryo, the segmental pattern of motor outgrowth depends on guidance cues provided by sclerotome cells. Motor axons preferentially invade the anterior sclerotome but avoid the posterior sclerotome. To determine how motor growth cone motility is influenced by these cells, we used videomicroscopy to analyze the behavior of motor growth cones as they confronted identified sclerotome c...
متن کاملThree functionally distinct adhesions in filopodia: shaft adhesions control lamellar extension.
In this study, adhesions on individual filopodial shafts were shown to control veil (lamellar) advance and to be modulated by guidance cues. Adhesions were detected in individual filopodia of sensory growth cones using optical recordings, adhesion markers, and electron microscopy. Veils readily advanced along filopodia lacking shaft adhesions but rarely advanced along filopodia displaying shaft...
