Abstract

Positioning organs in the body often requires the movement of multiple tissues, yet the molecular and cellular mechanisms coordinating such movements are largely unknown. Here, we show that bidirectional signaling between EphrinB1 and EphB3b coordinates the movements of the hepatic endoderm and adjacent lateral plate mesoderm (LPM), resulting in asymmetric positioning of the zebrafish liver. EphrinB1 in hepatoblasts regulates directional migration and mediates interactions with the LPM, where EphB3b controls polarity and movement of the LPM. EphB3b in the LPM concomitantly repels hepatoblasts to move leftward into the liver bud. Cellular protrusions controlled by Eph/Ephrin signaling mediate hepatoblast motility and long-distance cell-cell contacts with the LPM beyond immediate tissue interfaces. Mechanistically, intracellular EphrinB1 domains mediate EphB3b-independent hepatoblast extension formation, while EpB3b interactions cause their destabilization. We propose that bidirectional short- and long-distance cell interactions between epithelial and mesenchyme-like tissues coordinate liver bud formation and laterality via cell repulsion.

  • In zebrafish, emergence and positioning of hepatoblasts is accomplished by CCM, with ephrin signaling and hepatoblast filopodia mediating contacts between gut tube and mesodermal lineages.

    “In zebrafish, emergence and positioning of hepatoblasts is accomplished by CCM, with ephrin signaling and hepatoblast filopodia mediating contacts between gut tube and mesodermal lineages”

    From Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Early Emergence of Liver Parenchymal and Non-parenchymal Cell Lineages (2020) · cites this paper as Cayuso et al., 2016

    The Results section, “Hepatoblasts Actively Migrate during Liver Budding” (page unavailable), describes coordinated hepatoblast movement into the liver bud, suggesting collective cell migration. The Discussion describes EphrinB1/EphB3b signaling and protrusions facilitating contacts between hepatoblasts and lateral plate mesoderm. However, the Introduction says hepatoblasts are specified by signals from the mesoderm; the paper does not establish that collective cell migration accomplishes their initial emergence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
