13-P009 Characterization of dorsal neuron subtypes and their axonal trajectories in the chick hindbrain

چکیده
cate that Shh signalling controls Laminin gene expression, a critical step in the formation of the myotomal basement membrane, and that Laminin-111 has specific and essential role in myotomal basement membrane assembly. Together, our data reveal a novel role for Shh signalling in the control of basement membrane assembly and provide a framework for understanding the complex interactions between extra-cellular matrix and intercellular signalling.

Electroporation of the hindbrain to trace axonal trajectories and synaptic targets in the chick embryo.
Electroporation of the chick embryonic neural tube has many advantages such as being quick and efficient for the expression of foreign genes into neuronal cells. In this manuscript we provide a method that demonstrates uniquely how to electroporate DNA into the avian hindbrain at E2.75 in order to specifically label a subset of neuronal progenitors, and how to follow their axonal projections an...
متن کاملAxonal patterns and targets of dA1 interneurons in the chick hindbrain.
Hindbrain dorsal interneurons that comprise the rhombic lip relay sensory information and coordinate motor outputs. The progenitor dA1 subgroup of interneurons, which is formed along the dorsal-most region of the caudal rhombic lip, gives rise to the cochlear and precerebellar nuclei. These centers project sensory inputs toward upper-brain regions. The fundamental role of dA1 interneurons in th...
متن کاملChemorepulsion of developing motor axons by the floor plate
In the developing nervous system, motor axons grow away from the ventral midline floor plate, suggesting that the latter might be a source of repulsive axonal guidance cues. In donor to host transplantation experiments, ectopic pieces of floor plate were positioned between chick hindbrain motor neurons and their exit points. Immunohistochemistry and retrograde axonal labeling techniques demonst...
متن کاملFunctional diversity of ESC-derived motor neuron subtypes revealed through intraspinal transplantation.
Cultured ESCs can form different classes of neurons, but whether these neurons can acquire specialized subtype features typical of neurons in vivo remains unclear. We show here that mouse ESCs can be directed to form highly specific motor neuron subtypes in the absence of added factors, through a differentiation program that relies on endogenous Wnts, FGFs, and Hh-mimicking the normal program o...
متن کاملMotor neuron pathfinding following rhombomere reversals in the chick embryo hindbrain.
Motor neurons are segmentally organised in the developing chick hindbrain, with groups of neurons occupying pairs of hindbrain segments or rhombomeres. The branchiomotor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve occupies rhombomeres 2 and 3 (r2 and r3), that of the facial nerve r4 and r5, and that of the glossopharyngeal nerve r6 and r7. Branchiomotor neuron cell bodies lie within the basal plate, formin...
