Abstract

The embryogenesis of the mammalian phrenic nerve and diaphragm continues to be poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to reexamine this general issue and resolve some long-standing controversies. Specifically, we examined 1) the migratory path and the initial target for phrenic axons; 2) the relationship between the phrenic nerve and the primordial diaphragm during descent from the cervical to the thoracic spinal cord levels; and 3) the nature of the interaction between the progression of phrenic nerve intramuscular branching, myoblast and/or myogenic cell migration, and diaphragmatic myotube formation. We demonstrate that a leading group of "pioneering" phrenic axons migrate along a well-defined track of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-expressing and low-affinity nerve growth factor (p75) receptor-expressing cells to reach the primordial diaphragm, the pleuroperitoneal fold, at embryonic day (E) 13. During the next day of development, the phrenic nerve and the primordial diaphragm descend together toward the level of the thoracic spinal cord. By E14.5, intramuscular branching has commenced. There is a tight spatiotemporal correlation between the outgrowth of intramuscular phrenic nerve branches, the distribution...Continue Reading
