The Genetic Basis of Mammalian Neurulation
REVIEWS THE GENETIC BASIS OF MAMMALIAN NEURULATION Andrew J. Copp*, Nicholas D. E. Greene* and Jennifer N. Murdoch‡ More than 80 mutant mouse genes disrupt neurulation and allow an in-depth analysis of the underlying developmental mechanisms. Although many of the genetic mutants have been studied in only rudimentary detail, several molecular pathways can already be identified as crucial for normal neurulation. These include the planar cell-polarity pathway, which is required for the initiation of neural tube closure, and the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway that regulates neural plate bending. Mutant mice also offer an opportunity to unravel the mechanisms by which folic acid prevents neural tube defects, and to develop new therapies for folate-resistant defects. 6 ECTODERM Neurulation is a fundamental event of embryogenesis distinct locations in the brain and spinal cord .By The outer of the three that culminates in the formation of the neural tube, contrast, the mechanisms that underlie the forma- embryonic (germ) layers that which is the precursor of the brain and spinal cord.

Migratory Patterns and Developmental Potential of Trunk Neural Crest Cells in the Axolotl Embryo
DEVELOPMENTAL DYNAMICS 236:389–403, 2007 RESEARCH ARTICLE Migratory Patterns and Developmental Potential of Trunk Neural Crest Cells in the Axolotl Embryo Hans-Henning Epperlein,1* Mark A.J. Selleck,2 Daniel Meulemans,3 Levan Mchedlishvili,4 Robert Cerny,5 Lidia Sobkow,4 and Marianne Bronner-Fraser3 Using cell markers and grafting, we examined the timing of migration and developmental potential of trunk neural crest cells in axolotl. No obvious differences in pathway choice were noted for DiI-labeling at different lateral or medial positions of the trunk neural folds in neurulae, which contributed not only to neural crest but also to Rohon-Beard neurons. Labeling wild-type dorsal trunks at pre- and early-migratory stages revealed that individual neural crest cells migrate away from the neural tube along two main routes: first, dorsolaterally between the epidermis and somites and, later, ventromedially between the somites and neural tube/notochord. Dorsolaterally migrating crest primarily forms pigment cells, with those from anterior (but not mid or posterior) trunk neural folds also contributing glia and neurons to the lateral line. White mutants have impaired dorsolateral but normal ventromedial migration. At late migratory stages, most labeled cells move along the ventromedial pathway or into the dorsal fin. Contrasting with other anamniotes, axolotl has a minor neural crest contribution to the dorsal fin, most of which arises from the dermomyotome. Taken together, the results reveal stereotypic migration and differentiation of neural crest cells in axolotl that differ from other vertebrates in timing of entry onto the dorsolateral pathway and extent of contribution to some derivatives. -

The neural plate, consisting of neuroectoderm, becomes the neural tube, which gives rise to the brain and spinal cord. B- Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is derived from three sources: 1. Neural crest cells 2. Neural tube, which gives rise to all preganglionic autonomic nerves (sympathetic and parasympathetic) and all nerves (-motoneurons and -motoneurons) that innervate skeletal muscles 3. Mesoderm, which gives rise to the dura mater and to connective tissue investments of peripheral nerve fibers (endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium) DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEURAL TUBE Neurulation refers to the formation and closure of the neural tube. BMP-4 (bone morphogenetic protein), noggin (an inductor protein), chordin (an inductor protein), FGF-8 (fibroblast growth factor), and N-CAM (neural cell adhesion molecule) appear to play a role in neurulation. -

Mechanisms of Programmed Cell Death in the Developing Brain
_TINS July 2000 [final corr.] 12/6/00 10:39 am Page 291 R EVIEW Mechanisms of programmed cell death in the developing brain Chia-Yi Kuan, Kevin A. Roth, Richard A. Flavell and Pasko Rakic Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is an important mechanism that determines the size and shape of the vertebrate nervous system. Recent gene-targeting studies have indicated that homologs of the cell-death pathway in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have analogous functions in apoptosis in the developing mammalian brain.However,epistatic genetic analysis has revealed that the apoptosis of progenitor cells during early embryonic development and apoptosis of postmitotic neurons at later stage of brain development have distinct roles and mechanisms.These results provide new insight on the significance and mechanism of neural cell death in mammalian brain development.

The Role of Proteoglycans in the Initiation of Neural Tube Closure
The role of proteoglycans in the initiation of neural tube closure Oleksandr Nychyk Thesis submitted to UCL for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Developmental Biology of Birth Defects Developmental Biology & Cancer Programme UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health Declaration of contribution I, Oleksandr Nychyk confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. ___________________________________________ Oleksandr Nychyk 2 Abstract Neurulation is the embryonic process that gives rise to the neural tube (NT), the precursor of the brain and spinal cord. Recent work has emphasised the importance of proteoglycans in convergent extension movements and NT closure in lower vertebrates. The current study is focused on the role of proteoglycans in the initiation of NT closure in mammals, termed closure 1. In this project, the initial aim was to characterise the ‘matrisome’, or in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, during mammalian neurulation. Tissue site of mRNA expression and protein localisation of ECM components, including proteoglycans, were then investigated showing their distinct expression patterns prior to and after the onset of neural tube closure. The expression analysis raised various hypothesis that were subsequently tested, demonstrating that impaired sulfation of ECM proteoglycan chains worsens the phenotype of planar cell polarity (PCP) mutant loop tail (Vangl2Lp) predisposed to neural tube defects. Exposure of Vangl2Lp/+ embryos to chlorate, an inhibitor of glycosaminoglycan sulfation, during ex vivo whole embryo culture prevented NT closure, converting Vangl2Lp/+ to the mutant Vangl2Lp/Lp pathophenotype. The same result was obtained by exposure of Vangl2Lp/+ + embryos to chondroitinase or heparitinase. -
