Presentation Transcript

  1. Early Development: Invertebrates • Brief overview of early developmental themes • Early development of Sea Urchin • Early development of Caenorhabditiselegans

  2. Invertebrates? So what? • Very easy to study • Genetics and molecular events are highly conserved

  3. Cleavage initiation • Maternal Factors • Mitosis Promoting Factor • No Gaps at first • Mid Blastula transition-Gene activation from Zygote nucleus.

  4. Cell and nuclear division • Karyokinesis • Cytokinesis • Centrioles and axis determination.

  5. Patterns of Cell division

  6. Gastrulation

  7. Cell specification and Axis formation • Cell-cell signaling or acquisition of cellular factors • Bound to egg cytoplasm • Actively transported • Associate with centrioles

  8. Sea Urchin: Initial Cleavage

  9. Fate Mapping of Sea Urchin embryo

  10. Global regulatory networks • Maternal Factors • Disheveledand b-catenin • b-catenin and TCF- Micromere differentiation

  11. Double Negative Gate GeneA Gene B Gene C Gene D Gene E Gene F

  12. Double Negative Gate: Micromere Otx/b-catenin Pmar1 HesC Alx1 Thr Ets Delta

  13. Double Negative Gate: Veg2 cell Pmar1 HesC Alx1 Thr Ets Delta

  14. Specification of Vegetal Cells • Wnt signaling; Early Signal (ES); Delta (Notch) • b-cateninBlimp1 wntautocrine; Endoderm differentiation • Pmar1 and HesC regulate ES, which leads to mesoendoderm differentiation. • Delta Mesoderm differentiation.

  15. Axis specification • Animal/Vegetal= Anterior/Posterior axis • Nodal regulates Oral/Aboral axis

  16. Gastrulation • Blastula hatches from Fertilization envelope. • Skeletogenicmesenchyme ingression. • Vegetal plate involutes beginning invagination.

  17. Gastrulation

  18. Gastrulation

  19. Gastrulation

  20. Caenorhabditiselegans

  21. C. elegansand Initial Cleavage

  22. Anterior-Posterior Axis • Sperm Pronucleus location • Cyk-4 activates GTPases relocates PAR proteins to anterior • P-granules: Ribonucleoprotein complex • RNA helicases • Poly A polymerases • Translation initiators

  23. Dorsal-Ventral/Left-Right Axis formation

  24. Specification: Autonomous • Maternal cytoplasmic factors • SKN-1: EMS fate determination. • PAL-1: Differentiation of P2 somatic descendents • PIE-1: placed into P blastomeres via PAR-1, inhibits SKN-1 and PAL-1 in P cells.

  25. Specification: Conditional • Cell-cell signaling (Juxtacrine) • Paracrine signaling

  26. Gastrulation
