Presentation Transcript

  1. Paraxial and Intermediate Mesoderm

  2. Mesodermal Regions • Into what five regions do we subdivide the mesoderm? • prechordal plate mesoderm • chordamesoderm • paraxial mesoderm (somitic dorsal) • intermediate mesoderm • lateral plate mesoderm

  3. Mesodermal Regions

  4. Somite Formation • What substance appears to be critical to the specificaton of of somites from paraxial mesoderm?

  5. Somite Formation • Somites are formed in a periodic manner. What appears to control this periodicity?

  6. Somite Formation • What role does the Hairy1 gene play in somite formation?

  7. Somite Formation • What factors influence the conversion of developing somite from mesenchyme to a block of epithelial tissue?

  8. Somite Formation • What determines specification of somites along anterior-posterior axis?

  9. Somite Formation • What structures are formed from the somite? • cartilage of vertebrae and ribs • dermis of dorsal skin • muscles of rib cage, back, limbs, abdominal wall and tongue

  10. Somite Formation • As the somite differentiates what regions become distinctive?

  11. Somite Formation • What factors cause differentiation of sclerotome? • sonic hedgehog • Pax1 • What factors are responsible for differentiation of dermatome? • neurotropin 3 • wnt1

  12. Somite Formation • What factors influence the determination of the myotome? • epaxial myoblasts – wnt1 and 3 • hypaxial myoblasts – wnt and BMP • shh inhibits BMP signal from converting sclerotome to myoblasts

  13. Somite Formation

  14. Myogenesis • What are myogenic bHLH proteins?

  15. Osteogenesis • What are the three lineages giving rise to the skeleton? • somites – axial skeleton • lateral plate mesoderm – limbs • cranial neural crest - craniofacial

  16. Osteogenesis • How is endochondrial ossification different from intramembranous ossification?

  17. Osteogenesis • What are the different stages of bone formation in endochondrial ossification?

  18. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation • What appears to be needed for kidney formation?

  19. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation • What are the three major stages of mammalian kidney development?

  20. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation • How does the pronephros form? • pronephric duct forms from intermediate mesoderm • duct cells migrate caudally • anterior part of duct induces mesenchyme to form pronephric tubules

  21. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation • How does mesonephros form? • Wolffian duct induces tubules to form from adjacent mesenchyme • as posterior tubules form anterior ones begin to regress • source of blood forming stem cells • some tubules persist in males to become vas deferens and efferent duct

  22. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation • How does the metanephric kidney form? • in posterior part of intermediate mesoderm mesenchyme induces branching of nephric ducts • uretic buds – form ureters • uretic buds induce mesenchyme to differentiate into nephrons

  23. Intermediate Mesoderm and Kidney Formation

  24. Interactions of Developing Kidney • Specification of metanephric mesenchyme requires two sets of transcription factors • Hoxa, Hoxc, & Hoxd 11 proteins • WT1 • metanephric mesenchyme can only form kidney tubules

  25. Interactions of Developing Kidney • Glial derived neurotropic factor (GDNF) causes growth of uretic buds

  26. Interactions of Developing Kidney • FGF2 and BMP7 secreted by uretic bud prevents apoptosis of mesenchymal cells • Three factors from uretic bud induce mesenchymal cells to condense and form epithelial cells • FGF2 • leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) • wnt6

  27. Interactions of Developing Kidney • Wnt4 from mesenchyme completes conversion into epithelia of nephron • autocrine factor • may also involve Lim-1 • polycystins 1 and 2 may also be involved

  28. Interactions of Developing Kidney • Several different mesenchymal signals affect branching of uretic bud • GDNF • TGFβ-1 • BMP4 • collagen XVIII
