Chick Barx2b, a marker for myogenic cells also expressed in branchial arches and neural structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have isolated a new chicken gene, cBarx2b, which is related to mBarx2 in sequence, although the expression patterns of the two genes are quite different from one another. The cBarx2b gene is expressed in craniofacial structures, regions of the neural tube, and muscle groups in the limb, neck and cloaca. Perturbation of anterior muscle pattern by application of Sonic Hedgehog protein results in a posteriorization of cBarx2b expression.

A distinct developmental programme for the cranial paraxial mesoderm in the chick embryo.
Cells of the cranial paraxial mesoderm give rise to parts of the skull and muscles of the head. Some mesoderm cells migrate from locations close to the hindbrain into the branchial arches where they undergo muscle differentiation. We have characterised these migratory pathways in chick embryos either by DiI-labelling cells before migration or by grafting quail cranial paraxial mesoderm orthotop...
متن کاملThe role of cell mixing in branchial arch development
Compartmental structures are the basis of a number of developing systems, including parts of the vertebrate head. One of the characteristics of a series of compartments is that mixing between cells in adjacent units is restricted. This is a consequence of differential chemoaffinity between neighbouring cells in adjacent compartments. We set out to determine whether mesenchymal cells in the bran...
متن کاملTissue effects on the expression of serotonin, tyrosine hydroxylase and GABA in cultures of neurogenic cells from the neuraxis and branchial arches.
The phenotypically diverse neurones of the enteric nervous system are developmentally derived from precursors that migrate to the bowel from the vagal and sacral regions of the neuraxis. In order to gain insight into the generation of enteric neuronal diversity, we examined the expression of serotonin (5-HT), tyrosine hydroxylase and GABA in vitro. In the mature avian intestine, intrinsic neuro...
متن کاملRelationship between Neural Crest Cells and Cranial Mesoderm during Head Muscle Development
BACKGROUND In vertebrates, the skeletal elements of the jaw, together with the connective tissues and tendons, originate from neural crest cells, while the associated muscles derive mainly from cranial mesoderm. Previous studies have shown that neural crest cells migrate in close association with cranial mesoderm and then circumscribe but do not penetrate the core of muscle precursor cells of t...
متن کاملTemporospatial patterns of apoptosis in chick embryos during the morphogenetic period of development.
We examined the temporospatial pattern of naturally occurring apoptosis in chick embryos to five days of incubation (H.H. stages 1-25; Hamburger and Hamilton, 1951) using TUNEL labeling. The initial TUNEL-positive structure was the embryonic shield at stage 1. Apoptotic cells became ubiquitously present within embryos by stage 3, which is early in gastrulation. Until stage 6, TUNEL-positive cel...
