Ectopic Sox3 activity elicits sensory placode formation
The induction of sensory organ placodes, in particular the lens placode, represents the paradigm for induction. We show that medaka Sox3 is expressed in the neuroectoderm and in the placodes of all sensory organs prior to placode formation and subsequently in placode-derived tissues. Ectopic Sox3 expression leads to ectopic expression of Pax6 and Eya1 in embryonic ectoderm and causes ectopic le...
متن کاملSensory transduction in peripheral nerve axons elicits ectopic action potentials.
Sensory properties of unmyelinated axons in the isolated rat sciatic nerve have been revealed previously by measuring stimulated neuropeptide release in response to noxious stimuli. In addition, axonal sensitization by inflammatory mediators has been demonstrated and shown to depend on the heat- and proton-activated ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1. It was unclear w...
متن کاملConcerted action of two dlx paralogs in sensory placode formation.
Sensory placodes are ectodermal thickenings that give rise to elements of the vertebrate cranial sensory nervous system, including the inner ear and nose. Although mutations have been described in humans, mice and zebrafish that perturb ear and nose development, no mutation is known to prevent sensory placode formation. Thus, it has been postulated that a functional redundancy exists in the gen...
متن کاملAbi induces ectopic sensory organ formation by stimulating EGFR signaling
One of the central regulators coupling tyrosine phosphorylation with cytoskeletal dynamics is the Abelson interactor (Abi). Its activity regulates WASP-/WAVE mediated F-actin formation and in addition modulates the activity of the Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl). We have recently shown that the Drosophila Abi is capable of promoting bristle development in a wasp dependent fashion. Here, we report...
متن کاملGraded levels of Pax2a and Pax8 regulate cell differentiation during sensory placode formation.
Pax gene haploinsufficiency causes a variety of congenital defects. Renal-coloboma syndrome, resulting from mutations in Pax2, is characterized by kidney hypoplasia, optic nerve malformation, and hearing loss. Although this underscores the importance of Pax gene dosage in normal development, how differential levels of these transcriptional regulators affect cell differentiation and tissue morph...
