Temporal and spatial effects of Sonic hedgehog signaling in chick eye morphogenesis

Developmental Biology
X M Zhang, X J Yang

Abstract

Proper dorsal--ventral pattern formation of the optic cup is essential for vertebrate eye morphogenesis and retinotectal topographic mapping. Previous studies have suggested that midline tissue-derived Sonic hedgehog (Shh) molecules play critical roles in establishing the bilateral eye fields and in determining the proximal--distal axis of the eye primordium. Here, we have examined the temporal requirements for Shh during the optic vesicle to optic cup transition and after early optic cup formation in chick embryos. Both misexpressing Shh by virus and blocking Shh activity by antibodies resulted in disruption of ventral ocular tissues. Decreasing endogenous Shh signals unexpectedly revealed a sharp morphological boundary subdividing dorsal and ventral portions of the optic cup. In addition, Shh signals differentially influenced expression patterns of genes involved in ocular tissue specification (Pax6, Pax2, and Otx2) and dorsal--ventral patterning (cVax) within the ventral but not dorsal optic cup. Ectopic Shh suppressed expression of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) in the dorsal retina, whereas reducing endogenous Sonic hedgehog activity resulted in a ventral expansion of BMP4 territory. These results demonstrate that tem...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
