Neural Plate Patterning by Secreted Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The patterning of the CNS relies on the interaction of multiple signaling molecules such as Sonic Hedgehog, Wnts, and BMPs and their antagonists Chordin and Noggin. The identification of the secreted molecule Tiarin (Tsuda et al., 2002, this issue of Neuron), produced by the nonneural ectoderm at border of the anterior and lateral neural plate, now introduces a novel signaling pathway participating in CNS development.

Snail mediates medial-lateral patterning of the ascidian neural plate.
The ascidian neural plate exhibits a regular, grid-like arrangement of cells. Patterning of the neural plate across the medial-lateral axis is initiated by bilateral sources of Nodal signalling, such that Nodal signalling induces expression of lateral neural plate genes and represses expression of medial neural plate genes. One of the earliest lateral neural plate genes induced by Nodal signals...
متن کاملThe Telencephalon Saved by TLC
The telencephalon is one of the most complex parts of the brain, and its patterning is still poorly understood. In this issue of Neuron, describe a novel Wnt antagonist Tlc, a member of the secreted Frizzled-related protein (sFrp) family. Secreted from the anterior boundary of the zebrafish neural plate, Tlc appears to protect the telencephalon from obliteration by a more caudal neural Wnt signal.
متن کاملPatterning of the chick forebrain anlage by the prechordal plate.
We analysed the role of the prechordal plate in forebrain development of chick embryos in vivo. After transplantation to uncommitted ectoderm a prechordal plate induces an ectopic, dorsoventrally patterned, forebrain-like vesicle. Grafting laterally under the anterior neural plate causes ventralization of the lateral side of the forebrain, as indicated by a second expression domain of the homeo...
متن کاملInduction of floor plate differentiation by contact-dependent, homeogenetic signals.
The floor plate is located at the ventral midline of the neural tube and has been implicated in neural cell patterning and axon guidance. To address the cellular mechanisms involved in floor plate differentiation, we have used an assay that monitors the expression of floor-plate-specific antigens in neural plate explants cultured in the presence of inducing tissues. Contact-mediated signals fro...
متن کاملZebrafish Dkk1, induced by the pre-MBT Wnt signaling, is secreted from the prechordal plate and patterns the anterior neural plate
mRNA injection into the ventral blastomeres of Xenopus embryos of mRNA encoding Wnt pathway genes induces a secondary axis with complete head structures. To identify target genes of the pre-MBT dorsalization pathway that might be responsible for head formation in zebrafish, we have cloned zebrafish dickkopf1 (dkk1), which is expressed in tissues implicated in head patterning. We found that dkk1...
