Defects in pathfinding by cranial neural crest cells in mice lacking the neuregulin receptor ErbB4

Golding, Jon P., Trainor, Paul, Krumlauf, Robb, Gassmann, Martin·2000·Nature Cell Biology

Abstract

Mouse embryos with a loss-of-function mutation in the gene encoding the receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB4 exhibit misprojections of cranial sensory ganglion afferent axons. Here we analyse ErbB4-deficient mice, and find that morphological differences between wild-type and mutant cranial ganglia correlate with aberrant migration of a subpopulation of hindbrain-derived cranial neural crest cells within the paraxial mesenchyme environment. In transplantation experiments using new grafting techniques in cultured mouse embryos, we determine that this phenotype is non-cell-autonomous: wild-type and mutant neural crest cells both migrate in a pattern consistent with the host environment, deviating from their normal pathway only when transplanted into mutant embryos. ErbB4 signalling events within the hindbrain therefore provide patterning information to cranial paraxial mesenchyme that is essential for the proper migration of neural crest cells.

  • Loss of Erbb4 function in mice causes defects in hindbrain cranial neural crest cell pathfinding, including caudal elongation of the trigeminal and geniculate ganglia.

    “Loss of Erbb4 function in mice has been shown to cause defects in hindbrain cranial neural crest cell pathfinding, including a caudal elongation of the trigeminal and geniculate ganglia [77].”

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.
