The mechanisms of dorsoventral patterning in the vertebrate neural tube

Wilson, Leigh, Maden, Malcolm·2005·Developmental Biology

Abstract

We describe the essential features of and the molecules involved in dorsoventral (DV) patterning in the neural tube. The neural tube is, from its very outset, patterned in this axis as there is a roof plate, floor plate, and differing numbers and types of neuroblasts. These neuroblasts develop into different types of neurons which express a different range of marker genes. Early embryological experiments identified the notochord and the somites as being responsible for the DV patterning of the neural tube and we now know that 4 signaling molecules are involved and are generated by these surrounding structures. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are produced by the caudal mesoderm and must be down-regulated before neural differentiation can occur. Retinoic acid (RA) is produced by the paraxial mesoderm and is an inducer of neural differentiation and patterning and is responsible for down-regulating FGF. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is produced by the notochord and floor plate and is responsible for inducing ventral neural cell types in a concentration-dependent manner. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are produced by the roof plate and are responsible for inducing dorsal neural cell types in a concentration-dependent manner. Subsequently, RA is used twice more. Once from the somites for motor neuron differentiation and secondly RA is used to define the motor neuron subtypes, but in the latter case it is generated within the neural tube from differentiating motor neurons rather than fr…

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.
