3 Embryology and Development
BIOL 6505 − INTRODUCTION TO FETAL MEDICINE 3. EMBRYOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT Arlet G. Kurkchubasche, M.D. INTRODUCTION Embryology – the field of study that pertains to the developing organism/human Basic embryology –usually taught in the chronologic sequence of events. These events are the basis for understanding the congenital anomalies that we encounter in the fetus, and help explain the relationships to other organ system concerns. Below is a synopsis of some of the critical steps in embryogenesis from the anatomic rather than molecular basis. These concepts will be more intuitive and evident in conjunction with diagrams and animated sequences. This text is a synopsis of material provided in Langman’s Medical Embryology, 9th ed. First week – ovulation to fertilization to implantation Fertilization restores 1) the diploid number of chromosomes, 2) determines the chromosomal sex and 3) initiates cleavage. Cleavage of the fertilized ovum results in mitotic divisions generating blastomeres that form a 16-cell morula. The dense morula develops a central cavity and now forms the blastocyst, which restructures into 2 components. The inner cell mass forms the embryoblast and outer cell mass the trophoblast. Consequences for fetal management: Variances in cleavage, i.e. splitting of the zygote at various stages/locations - leads to monozygotic twinning with various relationships of the fetal membranes. Cleavage at later weeks will lead to conjoined twinning. Second week: the week of twos – marked by bilaminar germ disc formation. Commences with blastocyst partially embedded in endometrial stroma Trophoblast forms – 1) cytotrophoblast – mitotic cells that coalesce to form 2) syncytiotrophoblast – erodes into maternal tissues, forms lacunae which are critical to development of the uteroplacental circulation. -

RICKMANN, J. W. FAWCETT The Salk Institute and The Clayton Foundation for Research, California division, P.O. Box 85800, San Diego, CA 92138, U.S.A. AND R. J. KEYNES Department of Anatomy, University of Cambridge, Downing St, Cambridge, CB2 3DY, U.K. SUMMARY We have studied the pathway of migration of neural crest cells through the somites of the developing chick embryo, using the monoclonal antibodies NC-1 and HNK-1 to stain them. Crest cells, as they migrate ventrally from the dorsal aspect of the neural tube, pass through the lateral part of the sclerotome, but only through that part of the sclerotome which lies in the rostral half of each somite. This migration pathway is almost identical to the path which pre- sumptive motor axons take when they grow out from the neural tube shortly after the onset of neural crest migration. In order to see whether the ventral root axons are guided along this pathway by neural crest cells, we surgically excised the neural crest from a series of embryos, and examined the pattern of axon outgrowth approximately 24 h later. In somites which contained no neural crest cells, ventral root axons were still found only in the rostral half of the somite, although axonal growth was slightly delayed. These axons were surrounded by sheath cells, which had presumably migrated out of the neural tube, to a point about 50 jan proximal to the growth cones. -

Pluripotency Factors Regulate Definitive Endoderm Specification Through Eomesodermin

Here, we used human embryonic stem cells and mouse epiblast stem cells to study specification of definitive endoderm in vitro. Using a combination of whole-genome expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses, we established an hierarchy of transcription factors regulating endoderm specification. Importantly, the pluripotency factors NANOG, OCT4, and SOX2 have an essential function in this network by actively directing differentiation. Indeed, these transcription factors control the expression of EOMESODERMIN (EOMES), which marks the onset of endoderm specification. In turn, EOMES interacts with SMAD2/3 to initiate the transcriptional network governing endoderm formation. Together, these results provide for the first time a comprehensive molecular model connecting the transition from pluripotency to endoderm specification during mammalian development. -

BODY CAVITIES and MESENTERY
73: BODY CAVITIES and MESENTERY We've already mentioned that all the organs in the body are wrapped in "bags" made of thin layers of connective tissue. These bags are often inside of other bags, or even inside of several bags. The largest bags define areas that we call body cavities. There are three main cavities: the thoracic cavity, the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. The thoracic cavity is subdivided into three smaller cavities: the pleural cavity (containing the lungs), the mediastinum(in the middle), and the pericardial cavity (containing the heart). The pleural cavity is easy to understand because it simply contains the lungs. The pericardial cavity contains not only the heart itself, but the large blood vessels that come out of it, such as the aorta. The pericardial cavity is inside of the third cavity, the mediastinum. ("Media" means "middle" and "stinum" can refer to the "sternum," which is the bone that runs down the center of the ribcage.) The mediastinum contains not only the pericardial cavity but also part of the esophagus and trachea, the thymus (remember this organ from module 2 on the immune system?), and quite a few nerves and lymph nodes. The thin layers of connective tissues that surround these cavities are made primarily of collagen and elastin (produced by fibroblast cells) but they also contain some very tiny nerves and blood vessels, as well as cells that make serous fluid. As we've seen in the past few lessons, the diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity contains the stomach, the spleen, the tail of the pancreas, the last half of the duodenum, the small intestines, most of the large intestines, and the mesentery (thin layers of connective tissue that anchor the intestines to the back wall of the abdominal cavity). -

The Physical Mechanisms of Drosophila Gastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination
| FLYBOOK DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH The Physical Mechanisms of Drosophila Gastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination Adam C. Martin1 Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 ORCID ID: 0000-0001-8060-2607 (A.C.M.) ABSTRACT A critical juncture in early development is the partitioning of cells that will adopt different fates into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. This step is achieved through the internalization of specified cells from the outermost surface layer, through a process called gastrulation. In Drosophila, gastrulation is achieved through cell shape changes (i.e., apical constriction) that change tissue curvature and lead to the folding of a surface epithelium. Folding of embryonic tissue results in mesoderm and endoderm invagination, not as individual cells, but as collective tissue units. The tractability of Drosophila as a model system is best exemplified by how much we know about Drosophila gastrulation, from the signals that pattern the embryo to the molecular components that generate force, and how these components are organized to promote cell and tissue shape changes. For mesoderm invagination, graded signaling by the morphogen, Spätzle, sets up a gradient in transcriptional activity that leads to the expression of a secreted ligand (Folded gastrulation) and a transmembrane protein (T48). Together with the GPCR Mist, which is expressed in the mesoderm, and the GPCR Smog, which is expressed uniformly, these signals activate heterotrimeric G-protein and small Rho-family G-protein signaling to promote apical contractility and changes in cell and tissue shape. A notable feature of this signaling pathway is its intricate organization in both space and time. -
