Modification of ciliary beating in sea urchin larvae induced by neurotransmitters: beat-plane rotation and control of frequency fluctuation

Wada, Yuuko, Mogami, Yoshihiro, Baba, Shoji A.·1997·Journal of Experimental Biology

Abstract

The modification of ciliary beating by neurotransmitters in sea urchin larvae at the four-armed pluteus stage was analyzed in terms of the direction of beating and fluctuation in the beat period. Application of dopamine to Pseudocentrotus depressus causes the cilia to turn their beat plane but retain its characteristic planar feature up to the complete 'reversal' of the beat direction. This new type of response was termed the 'beat-plane turning response'. It was also found that neurotransmitters, especially dopamine and serotonin, can modify the length of the beating cycle in P. depressus and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. Dopamine decreased and serotonin increased the beat frequency averaged over the ciliated epithelium with the standard deviation from the mean increasing in the presence of dopamine and decreasing with serotonin. The beat-period fluctuation and its modification suggested by this observation was confirmed from measurements of the beating of individual cilia in the presence or absence of these neurotransmitters. Further analysis of the correlation between angular velocity and beat period indicates that variation in the beat period is not controlled by the same processes as those that modulate angular velocity. These findings in sea urchin larvae suggest that both the stability and the direction of ciliary beating is under nervous control.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Serotonin seems to play a general role in the upregulation of ciliary beat frequency in mollusc, echinoderm and annelid larvae.

    “Serotonin seems to play a general role in the upregulation of ciliary beat frequency (in mollusc [48], echinoderm [49,50] and annelid (G. Jékely unpublished) larvae), and the control of cilia by a sensory-motor serotonergic system may trace back to the common ancestor of protostomes and deuterostomes.”

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.
