Genome and transcriptome of the regeneration-competent flatworm, Macrostomum lignano.
The free-living flatworm, Macrostomum lignano has an impressive regenerative capacity. Following injury, it can regenerate almost an entirely new organism because of the presence of an abundant somatic stem cell population, the neoblasts. This set of unique properties makes many flatworms attractive organisms for studying the evolution of pathways involved in tissue self-renewal, cell-fate spec...
متن کاملThe Hippo pathway regulates stem cells during homeostasis and regeneration of the flatworm Macrostomum lignano.
The Hippo pathway orchestrates activity of stem cells during development and tissue regeneration and is crucial for controlling organ size. However, roles of the Hippo pathway in highly regenerative organisms, such as flatworms, are unknown. Here we show that knockdown of the Hippo pathway core genes in the flatworm Macrostomum lignano affects tissue homeostasis and causes formation of outgrowt...
متن کاملStem Cells Propagate Their DNA by Random Segregation in the Flatworm Macrostomum lignano
Adult stem cells are proposed to have acquired special features to prevent an accumulation of DNA-replication errors. Two such mechanisms, frequently suggested to serve this goal are cellular quiescence, and non-random segregation of DNA strands during stem cell division, a theory designated as the immortal strand hypothesis. To date, it has been difficult to test the in vivo relevance of both ...
متن کاملA novel flatworm-specific gene family implicated in reproduction in Macrostomum lignano
Free-living flatworms, such as the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, are extensively used as model organisms to study stem cells and regeneration. The majority of studies in planarians so far focused on broadly conserved genes. However, investigating what makes these animals different might be equally informative for understanding its biology. Here, we present a re-analysis of neoblast and germ...
متن کاملDual functions of Macpiwi1 in transposon silencing and stem cell maintenance in the flatworm Macrostomum lignano.
PIWI proteins and piRNA pathways are essential for transposon silencing and some aspects of gene regulation during animal germline development. In contrast to most animal species, some flatworms also express PIWIs and piRNAs in somatic stem cells, where they are required for tissue renewal and regeneration. Here, we have identified and characterized piRNAs and PIWI proteins in the emerging mode...
