Neural induction and early patterning in vertebrates.
In vertebrates, the development of the nervous system is triggered by signals from a powerful 'organizing' region of the early embryo during gastrulation. This phenomenon--neural induction--was originally discovered and given conceptual definition by experimental embryologists working with amphibian embryos. Work on the molecular circuitry underlying neural induction, also in the same model sys...
متن کاملDorsal-ventral patterning and neural induction in Xenopus embryos.
We review the current status of research in dorsal-ventral (D-V) patterning in vertebrates. Emphasis is placed on recent work on Xenopus, which provides a paradigm for vertebrate development based on a rich heritage of experimental embryology. D-V patterning starts much earlier than previously thought, under the influence of a dorsal nuclear -Catenin signal. At mid-blastula two signaling center...
متن کامل04-P015 AP2α plays a central role in both neural border patterning and neural crest induction
A complex set of extracellular signals is required for neural crest (NC) specification. However, how these signals function to coordinate cell cycle progression and differentiation remains poorly understood. Here,we report inXenopus a role forStat3 inthis process downstream of FGF signaling. Depletion of Stat3 inhibited NC gene expression and proliferation while its overexpression expanded the ...
متن کاملThe role in neural patterning of translation initiation factor eIF4AII; induction of neural fold genes.
Expression of the RNA-helicase translation initiation factor, eIF4AII, in animal cap explants of Xenopus specifically upregulates genes expressed early in the neural plate border such as Xsna, Xslu, Pax-3 and XANF and also the cement gland marker XCG-1. eIF4AII is expressed specifically in the prospective neurectoderm from stage 11.5 and appears to have a significant role in mediating early pat...
متن کاملVestibular blueprint in early vertebrates
Central vestibular neurons form identifiable subgroups within the boundaries of classically outlined octavolateral nuclei in primitive vertebrates that are distinct from those processing lateral line, electrosensory, and auditory signals. Each vestibular subgroup exhibits a particular morpho-physiological property that receives origin-specific sensory inputs from semicircular canal and otolith ...
