Cardiac neural crest expression of Hand2 regulates outflow and second heart field development.
The cardiac neural crest (cNC) lineage plays key roles in heart development by directly contributing to heart structures and regulating development of other heart lineages. The basic helix-loop-helix factor Hand2 regulates development of cardiovascular structures and NC-derived tissues including those that contribute to face and peripheral nervous system. Although Hand2 is expressed in cNC, its...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of Heart Development in Zebrafish.
Cardiac transcription factors orchestrate the complex cellular and molecular events required to produce a functioning heart. Misregulation of the cardiac transcription program leads to embryonic developmental defects and is associated with human congenital heart diseases. Recent studies have expanded our understanding of the regulation of cardiac gene expression at an additional layer, involvin...
متن کاملFoxd3 controls melanophore specification in the zebrafish neural crest by regulation of Mitf.
We describe a mechanistic model whereby Foxd3, a forkhead transcription factor, prevents neural crest-derived precursors from acquiring a melanophore fate. Foxd3 regulates this fate choice by repressing the mitfa promoter in a subset of neural crest cells. mitfa is only expressed in a Foxd3-negative subset of neural crest cells, and foxd3 mutants show an increase in the spatial domain of mitfa ...
متن کاملContact inhibition/collapse and pathfinding of neural crest cells in the zebrafish trunk.
Neural crest cells in the trunk of vertebrate embryos have a choice of pathways after emigrating from the neural tube: they can migrate in either the medial pathway between somites and neural tube, or the lateral pathway between somites and epidermis. In zebrafish embryos, the first cells to migrate all choose the medial pathway. High resolution imaging of cells in living embryos suggests that ...
متن کاملZebrafish pigmentation mutations and the processes of neural crest development.
Neural crest development involves cell-fate specification, proliferation, patterned cell migration, survival and differentiation. Zebrafish neural crest derivatives include three distinct chromatophores, which are well-suited to genetic analysis of their development. As part of a large-scale mutagenesis screen for embryonic/early larval mutations, we have isolated 285 mutations affecting all as...
