Claudins are essential for cell shape changes and convergent extension movements during neural tube closure
During neural tube closure, regulated changes at the level of individual cells are translated into large-scale morphogenetic movements to facilitate conversion of the flat neural plate into a closed tube. Throughout this process, the integrity of the neural epithelium is maintained via cell interactions through intercellular junctions, including apical tight junctions. Members of the claudin fa...
متن کاملConvergent extension, planar-cell-polarity signalling and initiation of mouse neural tube closure.
Planar-cell-polarity (PCP) signalling is necessary for initiation of neural tube closure in higher vertebrates. In mice with PCP gene mutations, a broad embryonic midline prevents the onset of neurulation through wide spacing of the neural folds. In order to evaluate the role of convergent extension in this defect, we vitally labelled the midline of loop-tail (Lp) embryos mutant for the PCP gen...
متن کاملXIer2 is required for convergent extension movements during Xenopus development.
Immediate early response 2 (Ier2) is a downstream target of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. In zebrafish, Ier2 is involved in left-right asymmetry establishment and in convergent extension movements. We isolated the Xenopus ier2 gene based on sequence similarity searches using multiple vertebrate species. Xenopus Ier2 has high homology in the N-terminal region to other vertebrate Ier2...
متن کاملPTK7 is essential for polarized cell motility and convergent extension during mouse gastrulation.
Despite being implicated as a mechanism driving gastrulation and body axis elongation in mouse embryos, the cellular mechanisms underlying mammalian convergent extension (CE) are unknown. Here we show, with high-resolution time-lapse imaging of living mouse embryos, that mesodermal CE occurs by mediolateral cell intercalation, driven by mediolaterally polarized cell behavior. The initial events...
متن کاملDorsal closure and convergent extension: two polarised morphogenetic movements controlled by similar mechanisms?
Coordinated cell movements contribute to the shaping of developing organisms during morphogenesis. Understanding the molecular basis of these directed movements is a crucial part of understanding the mechanisms in action during development. We present here a cellular description of two morphogenetic processes: dorsal closure of the Drosophila embryo and convergent extension in two vertebrate mo...
