Drosophila embryo syncytial blastoderm cellular architecture and morphogen gradient dynamics: Is there a correlation?
Tóm tắt
During embryo development in many metazoan animals, the first differentiated cell type to form is an epithelial cell. This epithelial layer is modified by developmental cues of body axes formation to give rise to various tissues. The cells that arise are mesenchymal in nature and are a source of other tissue types. This epithelial to mesenchymal transition is used for tissue type formation and also seen in diseases such as cancer. Here we discuss recent findings on the cellular architecture formation in the Drosophila embryo and how it affects the developmental program of body axes formation. In particular these studies suggest the presence of compartments around each nucleus in a common syncytium. Despite the absence of plasma membrane boundaries, each nucleus not only has its own endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex but also its own compartmentalized plasma membrane domain above it. This architecture is potentially essential for morphogen gradient restriction in the syncytial Drosophila embryo. We discuss various properties of the dorso-ventral and the antero-posterior morphogen gradients in the Drosophila syncytium, which are likely to depend on the syncytial architecture of the embryo.
