1 Bio Section III Organogenesis The Neural Crest and Axonal Specification Gilbert 9e Chapter 10 Student Learning Objectives 1. You should understand that the neural crest is an evolutionary advancement unique to vertebrates. a. Led to jaws, face, skull, sensory neural ganglia b. Transient structure: exists briefly at neural tube closure 2. You should understand that the neural crest is specified into four overlapping regions along the anterior-posterior axis: a. Cranial neural crest b. Cardiac neural crest c. Trunk neural crest d. Vagosacral neural crest Student Learning Objectives 3. You should understand that most cells of the neural crest are either multipotent progenitor cells or are already determined to a fate. a. Large majority of early chick cranial NC can form all cranial fates but only ~10 of the total population that migrates out. b. Nearly half of chick trunk NC are restricted to one fate c. Other cells from chick trunk NC can produce: 1. sensory neurons 2. melanocytes 3. adrenomedullary cells 4. glia 4. You should understand that it is unknown if any NC population is a true stem cell, capable of generating stem cells or multiple progenitors

2 Around the time of neural tube closure... Neural crest cells migrate laterally and ventrally from the dorsal side of the tube. Usually the migration is a fire drill and all cells leave the a tube... Distances can vary from short to very long migrations. Anterior-Posterior patterning of tube extends to the crest Cranial NC Vagosacral NC Vagal NC Cardiac NC Trunk NC Sacral NC

3 Cranial Neural Crest Craniofacial Mesenchyme chondrocytes Neural Crest Cell Fates osteoblasts of head and face cranial neurons glia fibroblasts, face connective tissue Pharyngeal Mesenchyme thymic cells odontoblasts of tooth primordia bone of inner ear and jaw Cardiac Neural Crest Otic Placode to Third Somite melanocytes neurons cartilage connective tissue smooth muscle of outflow connective tissue of outflow cardiac septal mesenchyme Trunk Neural Crest Ventrolateral Anterior Sclerotome dorsal root sensory ganglia sympathetic ganglia adrenomedullary cells aortic nerve clusters Dorsolateral melanocytes Vagosacral Neural Crest Somites 1 7, Posterior to Somite 28 parasympathetic neurons of gut Anterior-Posterior patterning of tube extends to the crest Your starting position limits (specifies) your fate choices and your experiences on the road choose (determine) the one.

8 Figure Plasticity and pre-patterning of the neural crest both play roles in beak morphology Neuronal Specification and Axonal Specificity 100 billion neurons in the adult 300 billion born! All with a single axon, one or a few synapses All with a single phenotype, neurotransmitter Making the right synapse is critical Motor neurons better find a skeletal muscle Retinal neurons better find the optic tectum Neuronal Specification and Axonal Specificity 1. Induction and patterning of brain region 2. Birth and migration of neurons and glia 3. Specification of cell fates 4. Guidance of axons to specific targets 5. Formation of synaptic connections 6. Competitive rearrangement of synapses 7. Survival and final differentiation by signal 8. Continued plasticity throughout life

10 Guidance of Axons to Specific Targets Ephrins and semaphorins can cause the growth cone to collapse semaphorin 3 expressing cells semaphorin 3 expressing cells Guidance of Axons to Specific Targets guidance of the growth cone Guidance of Axons to Specific Targets Netrin is a secreted chemotactic signal for axons Remember DSCAM? 38,016 splice variants in Drosophila

11 Guidance of Axons to Specific Targets Few neuronal axons cross the midline of the CNS creating the hemispheres Slit is secreted Robo-1 is repelled Robo-3 overcomes Robo-1 Guidance of Axons to Specific Targets BMPs are secreted from targets, different BMP receptors guide branches to different targets Formation of Synaptic Connections Reciprocal induction Requires synaptic transmission

12 Formation of Synaptic Connections Multiple axons compete for final innervation Survival and final differentiation by signal Apoptosis is often a dominant influence More than half of the neurons may die regionally, two-thirds of the total born! This is less consistent across species than most neural development events 80% of cat retinal ganglion cells die 40% in chick 0% in fish, amphibians Survival and final differentiation by signal Neurotrophic factors block default apoptosis Huntington s corea is a loss of Huntingtin protein which upregulates BDNF and the survival of striatum neurons coordinate movement, balance, walking Parkinson s disease is death of dopaminergic neurons which respond to GDNF and CDNF therapy?

13 Continued plasticity throughout life Many organisms have behaviors before birth We can alter synaptic connections thru life Less so when we get older
