چکیده

This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution of collagen (Col) types I-V and IX during neural crest development in vivo and their ability to support neural crest cell movement in vitro. Col I, III and IV were widespread throughout the embryo, including the neural crest migratory pathways, whereas Col II, V and IX preferentially localized to regions from which migrating neural crest cells were absent. Col I-IV and IX occurred both in association with basement membranes and within interstitial matrices, whereas Col V only was detected in juxtaposition to basement membranes. Although initially distributed throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the somitic sclerotome, Col I and III rearranged to the caudal portion with progressive neural crest cell migration through the rostral portion of the sclerotome. This rearrangement does not occur in neural crest-ablated embryos, suggesting that it is a direct consequence of neural crest cell migration. The perinotochordal matrix, avoided by neural crest cells, contained a metameric Col II/IX immunoreactivity along the rostrocaudal axis which alternated with that of Col I and III. In contrast, Col IV and V were not observed in this matrix, but lined the basement membranes of the notochord and ventrolateral neural tube. To determine their functional significance for neural crest cell migration in vivo, purified collagens were tested for their ability to promote neural crest cell motility in vitro. Neural crest cell migration on isolated collagens was most pronounced on Col I and IV, whereas Col II, V and the triple-helical fragment of Col VII were unable to support cell motility. Substrata created by copolymerization of Col I and fibronectin, or Col I and laminin-nidogen, supported cell motility better than Col I alone, whereas both Col V and a cartilage-type chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan reduced cell movement on Col I. Fibronectin bound to pre-immobilized monomeric Col I, II or V had a reduced ability to support neural crest cell movement when compared to fibronectin alone. A similar reduction was seen for Col IV bound to the low density heparan sulfate proteoglycan from the EHS mouse tumor. The results demonstrate that Col I-IX are differentially distributed in the early avian embryo. During neural crest development several of these collagens undergo dynamic reorganizations that correlate with the migration of neural crest cells. Furthermore, various collagens possess distinct abilities to support neural crest cell migration in vitro, and their migration-promoting activity can be modulated by their conformation and/or association with other matrix components.

In vivo, injection of RGD-containing peptides or antibodies to fibronectin, to a laminin-proteoglycan complex or to the integrin β1 subunit into the cranial region of avian embryos

During early embryonic development, certain groups of cells, like neural crest cells, can transiently express locomotory properties that allow them to migrate long distances from their sites of origin and populate other areas of the embryo where they undergo differentiation (Le Douarin, 1982; Newgreen and Erickson, 1986; Levi et al., 1990; Erickson and Perris, 1993). During migration to their f...

Molecular mechanisms of neural crest cell attachment and migration on types I and IV collagen.

We have examined the mechanisms involved in the interaction of avian neural crest cells with collagen types I and IV (Col I and IV) during their adhesion and migration in vitro. For this purpose native Col IV was purified from chicken tissues, characterized biochemically and ultrastructurally. Purified chicken Col I and Col IV, and various proteolytic fragments of the collagens, were used in qu...

Transforming growth factor-beta control of cell-substratum adhesion during avian neural crest cell emigration in vitro.

It has been proposed that, in higher vertebrates, the onset of neural crest cell migration from the neural tube involves spatially and temporally coordinated changes in cellular adhesiveness that are under the control of external signals released in the extracellular milieu by neighboring tissues. In the present study, we have analyzed the dynamics of changes in cell-substratum adhesiveness dur...

Cell surface beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase functions during neural crest cell migration and neurulation in vivo

Mesenchymal cell migration and neurite outgrowth are mediated in part by binding of cell surface beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalTase) to N-linked oligosaccharides within the E8 domain of laminin. In this study, we determined whether cell surface GalTase functions during neural crest cell migration and neural development in vivo using antibodies raised against affinity-purified chicken serum...
