1 Diffusion, Reaction, and Biological pattern formation
2 Morphogenesis and positional information How do cells know what to do?
3 Fundamental questions How do proteins in a cell segregate to front or back? How does an embryo become differentiated into specialized parts? How does an initially uniform tissue become specialized into multiple parts based on chemical signal?
4 Chemical patterns inside cells Back: Rho PTEN Front: Rac PI3K, PIP 2, PIP 3 What process(es) account for segregation of chemicals?
5 Patterns on a larger scale
6 Patterns in development Drosophilla
7 Interpreting a chemical gradient? gradient Morphogen gradient: can it lead to multiple cell types?
8 Wolpert s French Flag
9 How it was proposed to work Spatial gradients of morphogens create the subdivision Threshold concentrations of morphogen trigger gene expression in the cells in the tissue, leading to distinct expression.
10 Thresholds gradient
11 Example: early morphogenesis in the fly (Drosophila)
12 Embryo initially has no major internal boundaries Front (anterior) back (posterior)

16 What is the question? How can we account for spontaneous creation of such striped patterns of protein activity from the initial fertilized egg?

17 Reaction diffusion systems and Patterns
18 On its own, diffusion promotes Diffusion uniformity A 2 t = D A x 2 A t=0 Units: [D]= L 2 /t t>0 x
19 Linked to some reactions, it can CAUSE patterns to form spontaneously Reaction A t = f (A,B) B t = g(a,b) + Diffusion A 2 t = D A x 2 B g=0 A t=0 f=0 A t>0 Units: [D]= L 2 /t x
20 Example: (Schnakenberg) A t = f (A,B) + D 2 A A x 2 B t = g(a,b) + D 2 B B x 2 S 1 A S 2 k4 B B + 2A k 3 3A f (A,B) = k 1 k 2 A + k 3 A 2 B g(a,b) = k 4 k 3 A 2 B B g=0 f=0 A
21 Example: Shnakenberg RD system A 0 time 200 Starting close to the HSS, the system evolves a spatial pattern that persists with time.
22 How does it work? A.M. Turing, The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London B237, pp.37-72, 1952 Derived conditions for diffusion-driven pattern formation in a reactiondiffusion system.
23 Why does it work? Basic idea Equations: BC s: sealed domain (no flux, i.e. Neumann)
24 Reaction mixture is stable Assume a stable homogeneous steady state:
25 Consider small perturbations of the homogeneous steady state perturbations: = = + + Substitute into PDEs and use Taylor expansions to linearize the equations
26 Linearized equations Where the coefficients are elements of the Jacobian matrix
27 Some requirements: Stability of the homogeneous steady state:
28 Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues Solutions to the linear equations are: Eigenfunction Eigenvalue Eigenfunctions chosen to satisfy both the PDE and BC s (e.g. no flux at x=0, L): q = nπ / L
29 Interpretation The form of the perturbations Cos(qx) e σt x The value q is the wave number (spatial periodicity) and σ is the rate of growth
30 Spatial instability pattern formation Cos(qx) e σt If the rate of growth σ is >0 then perturbations will grow x
31 Dispersive waves In general, waves of different periodicity will grow or decay at different rates, so the growth rate σ will depend on the wave number q.
32 Condition for pattern formation: There exists some (range of) wavenumber values such σ >0 σ q
33 Substitute the perturbations into the linearized equations What set of (algebraic) equation do you get?
34 Answer:
35 Rearrange terms This is a set of linear eqs in the alpha s which has a unique (trivial) solution unless the system has a zero determinant.
36 Nontrivial perturbations Exist only if determinant = 0 Simplifying leads to a quadratic eqn for σ:
37 Characteristic equation for σ: Eqn σ 2 -βσ +γ =0 Where β = - γ =
38 Technical stuff It is easy to show that for σ to be positive, γ has to be negative. γ= < 0 Look for wave number values such that γ<0
39 When is gamma negative? Gamma depends on q 2 quadratically a 11 /D 1 a 22 /D 2 q 2
40 When is gamma negative? γ = γ a 11 /D 1 a 22 /D 2 q 2
41 Gamma first becomes negative at γ a 11 /D 1 q min 2 a 22 /D 2 q 2
42 Condition for instability Use the criterion that γ (q min2 ) <0 Obtain (details omitted)
43 Conditions:
44 Interpretation (Detailed arguments omitted here.) Case 1: Case 2: In either case, need D 1 < D 2
45 Turing (1952): The chemical basis of morphogenesis Reaction (f,g) + Activator + - inhibitor - Diffusion D A << D B A t = f (A,B) + D 2 A A x 2 B t = g(a,b) + D 2 B B x 2 With appropriate reaction kinetics, an RD system can form spatial patterns due to the effect of diffusion.

49 Drosophilla Back to the fly
50 Back to the fly: How can we account for spontaneous creation of such striped patterns of protein activity from the initial fertilized egg?
51 Turing system? For some years, it was imagined that this pattern was set up by an activator-inhibitor system.. More recently, this has been overturned..
