In the sea urchin embryo, primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) are committed early in development to direct skeletogenesis, provided that a permissive signal is conveyed from adjacent ectoderm cells. We showed that inhibition of extracellular matrix (ECM)-ectoderm cells interaction, by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to Pl-nectin, causes an impairment of skeletogenesis and reduced expression of Pl-SM30, a spicule-specific matrix protein. When PMCs are experimentally removed, some secondary mesenchyme cells (SMCs) switch to skeletogenic fate. Here, for the first time we studied SMC transfating in PMC-less embryos of Paracentrotus lividus. We observed the appearance of skeletogenic cells within 10 h of PMCs removal, as shown by binding of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) to cell surface molecules unique to PMCs. Interestingly, the number of WGA-positive cells, expressing also msp130, another PMC-specific marker, doubled with respect to that of PMCs present in normal embryos, though the number of SM30-expressing cells remained constant. In addition, we investigated the ability of SMCs to direct skeletogenesis in embryos exposed to mAbs to Pl-nectin after removal of PMCs. We found that, although phenotypic SMC transfating occurred, spicule development, as well as Pl-SM30-expression was strongly inhibited. These results demonstrate that ectoderm inductive signals are necessary for transfated SMCs to express genes needed for skeletogenesis. 相似文献

During the normal development of echinoids, an animal cap consisting of 8 mesomeres in a 16-cell stage embryo differentiates
exclusively into ectoderm. Micromeres in an embryo at the same stage differentiate into primary mesenchyme cells (PMC) and
coelomic pouch constituents. An animal cap and a quartet of micromeres were isolated from a 16-cell stage embryo and recombined
to make a chimeric embryo devoid of presumptive endoderm and secondary mesenchyme cells (SMC). The PMC in the chimeric embryo
were completely removed at the mesenchyme blastula stage. The PMC-depleted chimeric embryos formed an archenteron derived
from the mesomeres. Some secondary mesenchyme-like cells (induced SMC) were released from the archenteron tip. A considerable
fraction of the induced SMC formed the typical mesenchyme pattern after migrating into the vegetal region, synthesized skeletogenic
mesenchyme cell-surface protein (msp130) and produced the larval skeleton. These findings indicate that induced SMC derived
from the presumptive ectoderm have the same nature as natural SMC in both the timing of their release and their skeletogenic
potential expressed in the absence of PMC.

Oral/aboral ectoderm differentiation of the sea urchin embryo depends on a planar or secretory signal from the vegetal hemisphere 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

A monoclonal antibody that recognizes oral ectoderm and esophagus of sea urchin larvae was newly produced. Distribution of the antigen, named Hpoe, was examined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Hpoe did not exist in eggs and appeared during the cleavage stage. In hatched blastulae, Hpoe was detected on the apical surface of all cells. As embryogenesis progressed, Hpoe disappeared from the primary mesenchyme, archenteron and aboral ectoderm. Hpoe reappeared in foregut at the prism stage and was restricted to the oral ectoderm and esophagus at the pluteus stage. Using this antigen as a molecular marker of oral/aboral ectoderm differentiation, the role of the vegetal hemisphere in ectoderm differentiation was examined. All animal hemispheres isolated from 16-cell stage embryos, mesenchyme blastulae, early gastrulae and mid gastrulae developed into epithelial balls and every cell expressed Hpoe. These epithelial balls failed in oral/aboral ectoderm differentiation. Twenty millimolar LiCI-treated whole embryos developed into exo-gastrulae but Hpoe restriction in ectoderm occurred in these exo-gastrulae. These results show that oral/aboral ectoderm differentiation requires an inductive interaction from the vegetal hemisphere and indicate that the inductive interaction depends on a planar or secretory signal, rather than the contact of the esophagus and ectoderm. 相似文献

A fibronectin-related synthetic cyclic H-Cys-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Ala-Ser-Ser-Cys-OH (RGDSPASS) peptide (FR-1) binding site in the embryo of the sand dollar Clypeaster japonicus was specified using dansyl-labeled FR-1 (Dns-FR-1) and horseradish peroxidase-labeled FR-1, and an FR-1 receptor was isolated using FR-1-affinity column chromatography. The FR-1 introduced to the blastocoel of blastulae inhibited primary mesenchyme cell (PMC) migration in mesenchyme blastulae, and complete gastrulation and spicule differentiation in gastrulae. The Dns-FR-1 bound to the entire basal side of the ectoderm in mesenchyme blastulae, and then restricted to the basal side of the ectoderm at the apical tuft region and the vegetal hemisphere in early gastrulae. The cytoplasm of the archenteron also bound to Dns-FR-1. In PMC, Dns-FR-1 bound to the nucleus and cytoplasmic reticular features. In unfertilized eggs, Dns-FR-1 bound to the entire cytoplasm, particularly to the oval-shaped granules and the nuclear envelope, but only to the cytoplasm after fertilization. Relative molecular mass ( Mr ) of the FR-1 -binding protein was 240 kDa under non-reducing conditions and 57 kDa under reducing conditions. The FR-1 receptor protein bound anti-sea urchin integrin (Spl) βL subunit antibodies raised against the embryos of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus . Immunohistochemistry showed that the antibody binding site was similar to the histochemical distribution of Dns-FR-1. However, Mr of the FR-1 receptor is distinctively larger than that of the Spl βL subunit. 相似文献

Primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) are solely responsible for the skeletogenesis during early larval development of the sea urchin, but the cells responsible for late larval and adult skeletal formation are not clear. To investigate the origin of larval and adult skeletogenic cells, I first performed transplantation experiments in Pseudocentrotus depressus and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, which have different skeletal phenotypes. When P. depressus PMCs were transplanted into H. pulcherrimus embryos, the donor phenotype was observed only in the early larval stage, whereas when secondary mesenchyme cells (SMCs) were transplanted, the donor phenotype was observed in late and metamorphic larvae. Second, a reporter construct driven by the spicule matrix protein 50 (SM50) promoter was introduced into fertilized eggs and their PMCs/SMCs were transplanted. In the resultant 6-armed pluteus, green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression was observed in both PMC and SMC transplantations, suggesting SMC participation in late skeletogenesis. Third, transplanted PMCs or SMCs tagged with GFP were analyzed by PCR in the transgenic chimeras. As a result, SMCs were detected in both larval and adult stages, but GFP from PMCs was undetectable after metamorphosis. Thus, it appears that SMCs participate in skeletogenesis in late development and that PMCs disappear in the adult sea urchin, suggesting that the skeletogenesis may pass from PMCs to SMCs during the late larval stage. 相似文献

Serotonin and morphogenesis. I. Sites of serotonin uptake and -binding protein immunoreactivity in the midgestation mouse embryo 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The possible involvement of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) in morphogenesis of the craniofacial region in the mouse embryo has been investigated using the method of whole-embryo culture. Day-12 embryos were incubated for 3-4 h in the presence of 5-HT or its precursors L-tryptophan (L-TRP) or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), followed by fixation, sectioning and staining with a specific antiserum to 5-HT. Sites of 5-HT immunoreactivity were found in a variety of locations in tissues of the head and neck, which are either epithelia derived from the non-neural ectoderm or are non-neuronal midline brain structures. These sites include the surface epithelia of the head, face, nasal prominences, branchial arches, oral cavity and associated parts of the nasal epithelium, the epithelium covering the eye, parts of the otic vesicle, the epiphysis and roof of the diencephalon. With the exception of the oral cavity, sites of immunoreactivity for serotonin-binding protein were identified in the mesenchyme adjacent to these sites. This mesenchyme consists of ectodermally derived neural crest cells, which are known to receive inductive influences from the epithelia with which they interact during their migration through the craniofacial region. The presence of 5-HT uptake sites in epithelia and adjacent sites of SBP in the underlying mesenchyme raises the possibility that 5-HT might be involved in those epithelial-mesenchymal interactions known to be important for the development of structures in the craniofacial region. 相似文献

When developing sea urchin eggs were treated with sea water containing 40% D2O (D2O-SW) at the 8-cell stage, the micromere formation was delayed and micromeres were larger than those seen in the control. But eggs returned to normal artificial sea water (NASW) at the 16- to 32-cell stage did not form abnormal spicules in larvae of Pseudocentrotus depressus. Little effect on the spicule formation of Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus was also noted. If the culture period in D2O-SW was extended until the hatching stage, the number of plutei with abnormal spicules increased. Primary mesenchyme cells of Pseudocentrotus depressus larvae failed to make two aggregated spicule rudiments on the ventral side of the larva and developed a ring-like spicule. This ring-like spicule, however, only occasionally occurred in the larvae of Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The cell cycle was longer in the presence of D2O. However, blastomeres managed to divide throughout the development. Larvae reared in 20% D2O-SW after the hatching stage developed into quasi-normal plutei but smaller than control. We found no exogastrulation in these larvae. Exogastrulation was found only in larvae continuously cultured in 40% D2O-SW from the early development. These results are inconsistent with previous reports made by other authors. 相似文献

Probable Contribution of Protein Phosphorylation by Protein Kinase C to Spicule Formation in Sea Urchin Embryos 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

The formation of spicules and development of pluteus arms in sea urchin embryos were strongly blocked by H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride) but were not affected by HA1004 ( N -(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide hydrochloride). Archenteron formation occurred normally in the presence of these compounds. Late gastrulae (28 hr after fertilization) were exposed to 32 Pi for 30 min at 20°C, and then dissociated and their primary mesenchyme cells with spicules, embryo-wall cells and archenteron cells were separated. Then, the radioactivities in the protein fractions of these separated cells were measured. Results showed that culture of embryos with H-7 strongly inhibited 32 p incorporation into proteins in primary mesenchyme cells but caused little inhibition of its incorporations in embryo-wall cells and archenteron cells. The effective concentrations of H-7 for inhibition of 32 p incorporation were within the range that blocked spicule formation and growth of pluteus arms in embryos. HA1004 only slightly inhibited 32 p incorporation into protein in mesenchyme cells, embryo-wall cells and archenteron cells of embryos exposed to 32 Pi. Protein kinase C activity was detectable only in isolated primary mesenchyme cells associated with spicule structures. These suggest that phosphorylation of proteins by protein kinase C contributes to the formation of spicule structures. 相似文献

Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos were fractionated into two cell populations of defined lineages at times corresponding to two critical developmental events: determination (16-cell stage) and early differentiation (mesenchyme blastula). The 16-cell stage blastomeres, labeled with [35S]methionine, exhibited identical protein synthesis patterns by fluorography, and this pattern was not significantly altered by cell separation. In comparing the proteins of the mesenchyme blastula to the 16-cell stage, differences (increases and decreases) were seen by fluorography of newly synthesized proteins. The synthesis of 2.9% of the mesenchyme blastula proteins is specific to or enriched in primary mesenchyme cells and 8.2% is specific to or enriched in endoderm/ectoderm cells. Additionally, in contrast to the earlier stage, the pattern of protein synthesis in the mesenchyme blastula embryos is substantially altered by cell separation. The ability to alter protein synthesis in response to environmental factors may be a further demonstration of the differentiation of these cells. 相似文献

When proteins isolated from spicules of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos were examined by western blot analysis, a major protein of approximately 43 kDa was observed to react with the monoclonal antibody, mAb 1223. Previous studies have established that this antibody recognizes an asparagine-linked, anionic carbohydrate epitope on the cell surface glycoprotein, msp130. This protein has been shown to be specifically associated with the primary mesenchyme cells involved in assembly of the spicule. Moreover, several lines of evidence have implicated the carbohydrate epitope in Ca2+ deposition into the growing spicule. The 43 kDa, spicule matrix protein detected with mAb 1223 also reacted with a polyclonal antibody to a known spicule matrix protein, SM30. Further characterization experiments, including deglycosylation using PNGaseF, two-dimensional electrophoresis, and immunoprecipitation, verified that the 43 kDa spicule matrix protein had a pl of approximately 4.0, contained the carbohydrate epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody mAb 1223 and reacted with anti-SM30. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of proteins within the demineralized spicule that reacted with mAb 1223 and anti-SM30. We conclude that the spicule matrix protein, SM30, is a glycoprotein containing carbohydrate chains similar or identical to those on the primary mesenchyme cell membrane glycoprotein, msp130. 相似文献

Early passaged bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMC) respond to serotonin (5-HT) by developing a reversible change in configuration. (Lee et al. J. Cell. Physiol. 138:145, 1989). This configurational change does not occur in pulmonary artery endothelial cells (EC) subjected to 5-HT and is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) dependent, lost with passage of SMC, and inhibited by various agents that block high-affinity 5-HT uptake. We now report a second configurational change (also dendritic formation) of SMC produced by 5-HT only in the presence of isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase. This configurational change was also ATP dependent, but unlike the first response, (Lee et al., 1989), it occurred in both first and later passaged SMC and was not inhibited by blockade of 5-HT uptake. Also, unlike the response with 5-HT alone that failed to elevate cAMP, this one was associated with a large elevation of cAMP (eight fold above control values), similar to the response to the beta-agonist isoproterenol, plus IBMX. The second response was not blocked by a variety of 5-HT receptor antagonists but was reproduced by (+/-)-8-hydroxy-DPAT HBr (8-OH-DPAT), a reputed 5-HT1A agonist. The response was not dependent upon Ca2+ and was blocked by 1-2 mM n-phenylanthranilic acid or anthracene-9-carboxylic acid, electrically conductive Cl- channel inhibitors. Hence, 5-HT in the presence of IBMX causes a marked elevation of cAMP of SMC and this elevation in cAMP likely results in a cellular configurational change through a Cl- channel-dependent mechanism similar to that we previously described for EC in the presence of beta-adrenergic agonist stimulation (Ueda et al. Circ. Res. 66:951, 1990). EC do not show a similar response to 5-HT possibly because cAMP is not adequately elevated, even in the presence of IBMX, to enhance Cl- channel activity. We propose that our observations indicate the presence of two sites of action of 5-HT on the smooth muscle cell, one intracellularly and another at a cell surface receptor. 相似文献

Serotonin (5.HT) is known to be functionally active during early development in both vertebrates and invertebrates. However, the presence of 5-HT and its synthesis and transport system has not yet been demonstrated in bivalve early development. The presence of 5-HT was immunochemically demonstrated at the cleavage stage of bivalve Mytilus trossulus. 5-HT level dramatically increased within all embryonic cells after incubation with 5-HTP but not after incubation with tryptophan and 5-HT. The first 5-HT uptake by specific transporter was detected at 13 hpf blastula stage only and it was restricted to one distinct cell. 相似文献

Previous studies have implicated an 130-kD glycoprotein containing complex, N-linked oligosaccharide chain(s) in the process of spicule formation in sea urchin embryos. To ascertain whether the processing of high mannose oligosaccharides to complex oligosaccharides is necessary for spiculogenesis, intact embryos and cultures of spicule-forming primary mesenchyme cells were treated with glycoprotein processing inhibitors. In both the embryonic and cell culture systems 1-deoxymannojirimycin (1-MMN) and, to a lesser extent, 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) inhibited spicule formation. These inhibitors did not affect gastrulation in whole embryos or filopodial network formation in cell cultures. Swainsonine (SWSN) and castanospermine (CSTP) had no effect in either system. Further analysis revealed the following: (a) 1-MMN entered the embryos and blocked glycoprotein processing in the 24-h period before spicule formation as assessed by a twofold increase in endoglycosidase H sensitivity among newly synthesized glycoproteins upon addition of 1-MMN; (b) 1-MMN did not affect general protein synthesis until after its effects on spicule formation were observed; (c) Immunoblot analysis with an antibody directed towards the polypeptide chain of the 130-kD protein (mAb A3) demonstrated that 1-MMN did not affect the level of the polypeptide that is known to be synthesized just before spicule formation; (d) 1-MMN and 1-DNJ almost completely abolished (greater than 95%) the appearance of mAb 1223 reactive complex oligosaccharide moiety associated with the 130-kD glycoprotein; CSTP and SWSN had much less of an effect on expression of this epitope. These results indicate that the conversion of high mannose oligosaccharides to complex oligosaccharides is required for spiculogenesis in sea urchin embryos and they suggest that the 130-kD protein is one of these essential complex glycoproteins. 相似文献

The endoskeletal spicules of sea urchin larvae are composed of calcite, a surrounding extracellular matrix, and small amounts of occluded matrix proteins. The spicules are formed by primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) in the blastocoel of the embryo, where they adopt stereotypical locations, thereby specifying where spicules will form. PMCs also fuse to form cytoplasmic cords connecting the cell bodies, and it is within the cords that spicules arise. The mineral phase contains 5% Mg as well as Ca, and about 0.1% of the mass is protein. The matrix and mineral form concentric plies, and the composite has different physical properties than those of pure calcite. The calcite diffracts as a single crystal and is composed of well-ordered, but not perfectly ordered, microdomains. There is evidence for adsorption of matrix proteins to specific crystal faces at domain boundaries, which may help regulate crystal growth and texture. Immature spicules contain considerable precipitated amorphous CaCO3, and PMCs also have vesicles that contain amorphous CaCO3. This suggests the hypothesis that the cellular precursor to the spicules is actually amorphous CaCO3 stabilized in the cell by protein. The spicule s enveloped by the PMC cord, but is topologically exterior to the cell. The PMC plasmalemma is tightly applied to the developing spicules, except perhaps at the elongating tip. The characteristics, localization, and possible function of the four identified matrix proteins are discussed. SM50, SM37, and PM27 all primarily enclose the mineral, though small amounts are occluded. SM30 is found in cellular vesicles and is probably the principal occluded protein of the spicule. 相似文献

Neomenioid aplacophorans (= Solenogastres) constitute one of the main lineages of molluscs. Developmental data of early embryogenesis and larval development of neomenioids are available for some species based on histological sections. I used other techniques to study the development of Epimenia babai Salvini-Plawen, 1997, and here I report new data on neomenioid development. The embryos of E. babai are lecithotrophic and cleavage is spiral, unequal, and holoblastic. Two polar lobes are formed, one at the first cleavage stage and one at the second cleavage stage. No evidence of external metameric iteration is visible through scanning electron microscopy or histology at any stage. A ciliated foot, a pedal pit, and aragonitic spicules develop from the definitive ectoderm. A spicule begins as a solid tip, continues to an open-ended hollow spicule, and finally becomes a closed-ended hollow spicule. The free-swimming trochophore larvae of E. babai have been considered unusual in lacking the characteristic neomenioid cellular test, an outer locomotory structure within which the entire definitive adult body develops. However, through the use of scanning electron and light microscopy, semithin sections, Hoechst nuclear staining, and programmed cell death staining to study the ontogeny and fate of the apical cells, I show that the entire pre-oral sphere (the apical cap) of the larvae is similar to the test of the other neomenioids. The results suggest that the test of the neomenioid larvae is an enlarged pre-oral sphere of a trochophore. The test morphologies of neomenioid larvae are compared to those of pericalymma larvae of protobranch bivalves, and the homology and evolution of molluscan larval tests is discussed. 相似文献
