Spinal cord
Nervous system
Vertebrate brain development
brain develops from cranial part of neural tube
dorsoventral pattern is induced by same molecular mechanisms as spinal cord
however, organanization is different
central canal forms fluidfilled spaces (ventricles)
brain regions have different structures/functions
further differentiation of gray and white matter

Neural crest origins
only found only in vertebrates
originate from cells located between epidermal and neural ectoderm
Neural crest cells:
migrate to different positions within the body
variety of fates head cartilage pigment cells neurons hormoneproducing gland cells smooth muscle – cardiovascular system
Figure 13.24
Embryonic origin of neural crest cells
Juxtaposition hypothesis: NC cells arise at boundary between neural plate and epidermis
both grafts in this experiment will give rise to NC cells
NC cells are induced by local interactions between neural plate and epidermis
Figure 13.25
Neural crest cell fate mapping
fluorescent dyes & immunostaining
genetic labels: e.g. transplantation between quail and chicken
homotopic transplantation from radiolabeled donor to nonlabeled host
Methods used to monitor NC cell migration:
Neural crest transplantation
chick / quail chimera
Figure 13.27
Neural crest cell migration
slug may activate other regulatory genes involved in migration
slug expression causes dissociation of desmosomes
onset of migration controlled by regulatory gene slug+
NC cells lose epithelial connections, cell adhesion properties migrate
Migration
Migration routes
dorsolateral – skin melanocytes, xanthophores ventral – neurons, glial cells, visceral nervous system
Trunk NC cells
Figure 13.27
Neural crest cell fates
Trunk melanocytes, xanthophores neurons, glial cells visceral nervous system
sympathetic parasympathetic
Schwann cells adrenal medulla
Cranial
hormoneproducing cells parasympathetic ganglia sensory cranial ganglia pigment cells
bones, connective tissue
Cardiac (overlapping head and trunk)
melanocytes neurons
cartilage and other connective tissue
connective tissue, muscle of large blood vessels
Are NC cells pluripotent ?
all other NC derivatives can be formed by NC cells from anywhere along the anteriorposterior axis
NC Cell Potency:
cranial cartilage only from head NC cells some cardiovascular structures limited to
cardiac NC
Figure 13.28
NC fate and potency
(determined by heterotopic transplantation):
Figure 13.29
Neural crest cell determination
each NC cell has the potential to form many or all derivatives
external signals cause their determination
all NC regions contain mixed populations of determined cells, each of which has just one fate
external signals limit NC cells to certain migration pathways and differentiation patterns
Pluripotency hypothesis
Selection hypothesis
Clonal analysis in vitro:
NC cell determination
many NC cells are originally pluripotent
NC cell fate becomes restricted in a stepwise process
NC cells proliferate and form clones
some clones differentiate into only one or two cell types
most clones differentiate into several cell types
Figure 13.30
Doublelabeling experiments:
descendants of a single NC cell can be located in different tissues
dorsal root ganglion ventral root sympathetic ganglion
NC cell determination
Clonal analysis in vivo: clones from premigratory NC cells usually contain several cell types clones from older, migratory NC cells often contain more than one cell type
most NC cells are pluripotent
Figure 13.27
NC cells follow defined migration routes:
Spatial restrictions on NC cell migration
‘repulsive guidance’ by ephrins and their receptors
inhibition by somitic mesoderm
ventrally migrating trunk NC cells pass through anterior halves of somites, not through posterior halves
inhibitory signal from notochord chondroitinsulfate containing glycoprotein
avoid notochord area
Figure 13.23
Temporal restrictions to NC cell migration
NC cells ‘behave’ according to their age: chicken NC cells enter ventral pathway first, then dorsolateral pathway
isolated NC cells ‘aged’ in vitro, then transplanted into hosts at various stages of NC cell migration
transplanted aged NC cells behave according to their age, not according to surrounding host NC cells
ECM influence on NC cell determination
Figure 13.32
nitrocellulose microcarriers coated with ECM components from: dorsolateral pathway (pigment cell route) ventral pathway (dorsal root ganglia route)
dorsolateral ECM components induce NC cells into pigment cells
ventral ECM components induce NC cells into neurons
Extracellular matrix (ECM) ECM – fibrous and gelatinous material released from cells
amorphous ground substance (attracts water; forms gel) fibers (form meshwork; resist expansion)
provide multiple binding domains
ECM functions: basement membrane matrix for bones and teeth tendons – tensile strength cornea – forms transparent layer influences cell division, shape, movement, differentiation
(binding sites for growth factors, etc.)
Ground substance: glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans amorphous, hydrophilic
hyaluronic acid heparin
Fibrous components: glycoproteins collagen fibronectin laminins
ECM influence on NC cell determination
Figure 13.32
nitrocellulose microcarriers coated with ECM components from: dorsolateral pathway (pigment cell route) ventral pathway (dorsal root ganglia route)
dorsolateral ECM components induce NC cells into pigment cells
ventral ECM components induce NC cells into neurons
Migration:
subpopulation of NC cells
diffusible signals from notochord, somites and potentially other tissues
‘age’ of NC cells
Determination:
subpopulation of NC cells
contact signals provided by ECM components
regionspecific growth factors ( endothelins, TGFβ superfamily & others)
Factors affecting NC cell migration & determination

epibranchial placodes contribute to sensory ganglia of cranial nerves
dorsolateral placodes contribute to sensory ganglia of cranial nerves form parts of ear, eye and nose
Ectodermal placodes squamous

forms otic pit à otic vesicle à inner ear
induced by rhombencepahlon & mesoderm
otic vesicle expands unequally into complicated shape; forms the labyrinth

invaginates to form the lens vesicle
lens vesicle cells differentiate into lens fibers

Lens placode
eye development requires simultaneous development of lens vesicle and optic cup
outer layer of the optic cup forms the pigment layer of the retina
inner layer of optic cup: neural layer of retina converging axons form the optic nerve
opening of the optic cup forms the pupil

Nasal placode
induced by underlying endoderm and telencephalon forms lateral & medial nasal swellings & nasal pit (placode forms floor)
fusion defects: harelip
fusion forms nose, lip (partial), jaw (partial), palate (partial)
increase in size of maxillary swellings pushes nasal swellings towards center placodes surrounded by swellings (ridges)

Nasal placodes – nose formation
epithelium of the nasal pit forms the olfactory epithelium which lines the roof of the nasal chambers
nasal chambers elongate while secondary palate & secondary choanae form
oronasal membrane between nasal pit and oral cavity ruptures to form the primary choanae
Epidermis
largest ectodermal derivative outer layer of the skin
periderm temporary outer layer
germinative layer or basal layer progenitor cells differentiate into epidermal cells
keratin synthesis in granular layer
cornified layer dead keratin sacs
mesenchymal dermis supports the epidermis and induces formation of hair, feathers, scales & glands
