Olig and Ubx are also expressed in ventral motoneurons and mutants have defects in axon guidance (Oyallon et al. Loss-of-function mutants in components of the Notch signaling pathway result in hypertrophy of the CNS at the expense of the epidermis (Lehmann et al. As the cellular blastoderm forms, the ventral-lateral region is specified to become neurogenic ectoderm, which ultimately gives rises to both the CNS and epidermis. 2002; Broihier et al. Thus, the daughter of a Type0 NB has no proliferative potential. 2014), which is necessary since inappropriate expression of gcm later in development results in developmental instability. These include SoxN, which controls expression of NPFR1, and BarH1, which controls expression of DAT and ple. 2015). It has been proposed that interpreting the morphogen gradient prior to it reaching an equilibrium profile may reduce the effects of variability in the Bcd . Giesen, K, U Lammel, D Langehans, K Krukkert, I Bunse et al. There are two complexes of embryonic basal proteins. 1991), later work demonstrated that this occurs later during stages1011 in a multi-step process (Wheeler et al. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Ramdas Nair, A, P Singh, D Salvador Garcia, D Rodriguez-Crespo, B Egger et al. even-skipped determines the dorsal growth of motor axons in Drosophila. Genetic experiments also revealed that mutants of the cell cycle G1/S regulators CycE and E2f1 resulted in a reduction in neuronal number, and misexpression led to increases in NB and GMC divisions at the expense of Type0 divisions. Dichaete (D) and SoxN are shown in their columns of expression. Introduction The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a tiny insect about 3 mm long, was used extensively as an animal model in biology throughout the last century. 0 Oviposition: meiosis in progress; sperm nucleus decondensing. The perineurial glia and hemocytes secrete a lamellar barrier sheath around the outside of the CNS. The physiological properties of a neuron are governed by its constituent ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, and accessory proteins. 2006). 2009; Wheeler et al. . Overview of Drosophila oogenesis and early development. Interestingly, mVUM differentiation gene expression [including diacyl glycerol kinase (dgk), Vmat, Tyramine hydroxylase (Tbh), zfh1] is dependent on l(1)sc, just as l(1)sc also controls H-cell differentiation gene expression (Stagg et al. doi: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000974. The IPCs arise from a NB within the dorsomedial protocerebral neuroectoderm. AP1 and AP4 are peptidergic (Nplp1 and FMRFa, respectively) and AP2/3 are not peptidergic.

I want to acknowledge all of the members of my laboratory for their hard work, dedication, creativity, technical excellence, and keen insights. Stages of Drosophila Embryogenesis. Biol. In this paper, we propose a computational system for automatic developmental stage classification by image analysis. The developmental proteome of Drosophila melanogaster - Genome Research Rickert, C, T Kunz, K L Harris, P M Whitington, and G M Technau. . In contrast to that view, it has been proposed that postmitotic, undifferentiated, midline cells are capable of regeneration (Bossing et al. The functional Par complex consists of Par-6, atypical Protein Kinase C (aPKC), and Bazooka (Baz). A role for a novel centrosome cycle in asymmetric cell division. 1997; Schmid et al. .

Correspondence to The deepest one of these furrows (cephalic furrow, cf) completely surrounds the embryo. The presence of Numb inhibits Delta-Notch signaling, so that differentiation of one daughter cell is dependent on Notch (NotchON), whereas the other cell that inherited Numb is independent of Notch (NotchOFF) (Spana et al. The AurA kinase phosphorylates Par-6, which leads to the activation of aPKC. This is followed by a series of asymmetric cell divisions. 2011). von Hilchen, C M, I Hein, G M Technau, and B Altenhein. In addition, Dfr, Isl, and Lim3 were shown to direct motoneuron axons onto specific ventral muscles. 15, 116124 (2005). (2) In some cases, genetic experiments indicate that a TTF directs cell fate (e.g., Pdm in NB7-1) (Grosskortenhaus et al. MyosinII then clears from the basal side in an apical-directed flow and accumulates in a lateral region that will become the site of the cleavage furrow. Six-microns-under acts upstream of Draper in the glial phagocytosis of apoptotic neurons. 2014). Sci. Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern Annotation Using Sparse Features and Term-Term Interactions. The perineurial glia and subperineurial glia also infiltrate the neuromuscular junction and their morphology is sensitive to synaptic activity and growth (Brink et al. INPs divide multiple times, generating between 46 GMCs and 812 neurons (Walsh and Doe 2017). While most neurons and glia appear homologous between abdominal, thoracic, and gnathal segments, there are significant differences. 2016) (Figure 8C). Ip, Y T, R E Park, D Kosman, E Bier, and M Levine. Repo and Ttk control differentiation by activating the glial program and repressing the neuronal program (Giesen et al. A narrow mid-dorsal partition of the blastoderm gives rise to the amnioserosa (as), a thin membrane that covers the germ band dorsally. 2019). Within the neuroectoderm, Dichaete and SoxN are expressed in unique and overlapping stripes of cells along the DV axis: Dichaete is expressed in the mesectodermal, medial, and intermediate columns, whereas SoxN is expressed in all three neuroectodermal columns, but not the mesectoderm (Nambu and Nambu 1996; Russell et al. Notch signaling plays no apparent role in MP1 neuronal differentiation, consistent with the symmetric division of the MP1 precursor (Wheeler et al. Ma, Y, K Certel, Y Gao, E Niemitz, J Mosher et al. The Ol1mpiad: concordance of behavioural faculties of stage 1 and stage 3, Expression profiling of glial genes during, Origin and specification of type II neuroblasts in the. 2002; Overton et al. Disruption of microtubule integrity initiates mitosis during CNS repair. Sousa-Nunes, R, L Y Cheng, and A P Gould. En is expressed in neuroectodermal rows 6/7 and partially represses hkb expression in those rows; Gsb is expressed in NB rows 5 and 6, and represses hkb expression in specific NBs (e.g., NB 5-3; McDonald and Doe 1997). At this time, there are 15 midline cells that constitute three equivalence groups fated to become MP1, MP3, and MP4. As described in this section, Drosophila neuronal differentiation is a complex process in which the morphological and physiological properties of each cell are controlled by multiple regulatory pathways. Beckervordersandforth, R M, C Rickert, B Altenhein, and G M Technau. Another NB, NB3-3A has a short TypeI division window of only one division followed by 11 Type0 divisions, yielding a total of 13 neurons. Apoptosis precedes tissue separation and CNS condensation, and death of epidermal cells is probably a key factor, although death of CNS neurons and glia contribute. 2006; Baumgardt et al. Regulation of neuroblast competence: multiple temporal identity factors specify distinct neuronal fates within a single early competence window. Mutants that prevent neuralepidermal tissue separation (e.g., sim) also inhibit CNS condensation, suggesting that tissue separation is required for shortening (Page and Olofsson 2008). Interestingly, MP1 and dMP2 apoptosis is segment-dependent; MP1 and dMP2 neurons persist in posterior abdominal segments while undergoing apoptosis in anterior segments (Figure 15). The absence of Notch signaling on dopaminergic neuronal fate is dependent on the asymmetric localization of Numb in the dopaminergic daughter cell. 2013). Spdo accumulates at the membrane of the daughter neuron without Numb and facilitates Notch signaling (NotchON). https://doi.org/10.1038/s43588-021-00117-9, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s43588-021-00117-9. Bowman, S K, R A Neumuller, M Novatchkova, Q Du, and J A Knoblich. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help 2017). Misexpression of Kr can also extend the Kr competence window (Cleary and Doe 2006). Novel insights into issues of human health have also originated from the study of Drosophila CNS development. In the brain, most NBs also enter quiescence and recommence proliferation during larval development. Monedero Cobeta, I, B Y Salmani, and S Thor. Within the developing neuroectoderm, NBs delaminate and move inward. . In most segments, the MP1 and dMP2 neurons extend axons that act as pioneers for axon guidance (Hidalgo and Brand 1997). 1999; Wodarz et al. The first eight divisions are TypeI and generate 16 neurons and the last four divisions are Type0 generating four neurons, Ap14. For example, cas expression is repressed by both Hb and Kr, and, as these proteins decay, cas expression is activated. The timetable of Drosophila development, from egg to adult, is summarized in Figure 21-24.The period of embryonic development begins at fertilization and takes about a day, at the end of which the embryo hatches out of the egg shell to become a larva. However, downstream TTFs can repress expression of previously expressed TTFs. Apoptosis of neurons and glia is widespread during embryonic and postembryonic CNS development (Pinto-Teixeira et al. Thus, Dichaete and SoxN can exhibit significant redundancy where they overlap, but they also have unique functions where they do not overlap. The basal proteins direct the GMC division into two neurons and neuronal differentiation, while the apical cell maintains its stem cell characteristics. The progeny from two different NB1s that express the same TTF gene (e.g., NB3-1 and NB7-1) will be distinct because the original NBs are derived from a distinct position within the neuroectoderm and differ in their TFs. This leads to the cellular blastoderm (stage 5), a homogeneous cellular sheet surrounding the central yolk. 2008). . CNS neurons extend axons that connect with other neurons, muscles, and the gut (Figure 1B). It is generally considered axiomatic that postmitotic neurons are incapable of further dividing or regenerating. The transcription factors islet and Lim3 combinatorially regulate ion channel gene expression. (A) H-Cell and H-cell sib derive from the asymmetric division of MP3, whose formation does not require the l(1)sc proneural gene. Neuronal cell fate specification by the convergence of different spatiotemporal cues on a common terminal selector cascade. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal During asymmetric GMC or MP divisions, the Numb protein is asymmetrically localized to just one of the two progeny (Figure 9A). Understanding the genetic, molecular, and cellular bases of Drosophila embryonic CNS development has been carried out in earnest for 40 years (e.g., Jimnez and Campos-Ortega 1979). Consequently, of the 19 neuromeres of the CNS, 18 share at least some homology with only the protocerebral neuromere divergent. Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. When the NB divides, it generates a new NB that is larger in size than the GMC. Par complex localization is regulated by Aurora A (AurA), Lethal (2) giant larvae [L(2)gl], and Discs large (Dlg1). Bergmann, A, M Tugentman, B Z Shilo, and H Steller. Stages of Drosophila Embryogenesis Jos A. Campos-Ortega, Volker Hartenstein Pages 9-84 Histogenesis and Organogenesis Jos A. Campos-Ortega, Volker Hartenstein Pages 85-164 The Pattern of Embryonic Cell Divisions Jos A. Campos-Ortega, Volker Hartenstein Pages 165-171 Morphogenetic Movements Jos A. Campos-Ortega, Volker Hartenstein The ventral muscle TF genes, Hb9 and Nxk6, repress eve, which controls dorsal muscle guidance, and misexpression of eve has the ability to repress expression of Hb9, isl, Nkx6, and Lim3 (Broihier and Skeath 2002). The goals of this review are to provide a comprehensive view of Drosophila embryonic CNS development while concentrating on recent studies, including neurogenesis, gliogenesis, cell fate specification, and differentiation (axon guidance mechanisms are not considered here). AMG also secrete neurotrophic molecules that act to maintain axonal growth (Zhu et al. II. Urbach, R, D Volland, J Seibert, and G M Technau. After cytokinesis, Mira is degraded and Pros is released to enter the nucleus; the appearance of Pros in GMCs also requires brat (Betschinger et al. They key factor in specifying embryonic glia is the GCM zinc finger TF (Hosoya et al. In addition, it is clear that a number of temporal identity regulators are yet to be discovered. Molecular markers for identified neuroblasts and ganglion mother cells in the. Adapted by permission from Elsevier: Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology (Zarin and Labrador 2017) copyright (2017). Because females may keep developing eggs for long periods of time before laying, timing is not the most reliable method of staging; other methods of staging which do not rely exclusively on time are highly desirable. Comparison of expression patterns is most biologically meaningful when images from a similar time point (developmental stage range) are compared. 2010). 2012). 1988) led to the identification of two mouse and human sim genes: SIM1 and SIM2 (Dahmane et al. However, this cell fate transformation does not generally extend to all NBs in a lineage, but to a finite and defined number. Polo inhibits progenitor self-renewal and regulates Numb asymmetry by phosphorylating Pon. 25, 723729 (2015). Waymack, R., Fletcher, A., Enciso, G. & Wunderlich, Z. eLife 9, e59351 (2020). Global programmed switch in neural daughter cell proliferation mode triggered by a temporal gene cascade. In the case of NB 7-3, GMC-2 divides asymmetrically into two neurons: EW2 and EW2sib (Karcavich and Doe 2005). Neuroblast-specific open chromatin allows the temporal transcription factor, Hunchback, to bind neuroblast-specific loci. Klaes, A, T Menne, A Stollewerk, H Scholz, and C Klambt. Kohsaka, H, S Okusawa, Y Itakura, A Fushiki, and A Nose. How is Notch signaling controlled? Genetic ablation of glia results in an increase in neuronal apoptosis, indicating that glia play a role in neuronal survival (Booth et al. 2011) extend their axons across the midline via two axon commissures: the anterior commissure and posterior commissure. 2003; Park et al. Baumgardt, M, D Karlsson, J Terriente, F J Diaz-Benjumea, and S Thor. Mira is then localized to the basal side of the cortex by aPKC phosphorylation, which excludes Mira from the apical side (where aPKC resides) (Zhang et al. Each ovariole is like a production line, where the oocyte develops within an egg chamber in a series of fourteen morphologically distinct stages. These results, and similar work on other lineages, indicate the important role that Hox genes play in directing segment-specific neural and glial fates. 2007). 2014; Ramdas Nair et al. Analysis of early division cycles revealed that Gcm protein is present in the NGB before division, and is present in both presumptive NB and GB after the first division. 1994; Thor and Thomas 1997). In the embryo, ecdysone results in a modest reduction in midline glial numberpossibly by promoting apoptosis or a reduction in proliferation. This lack of apical MyosinII allows the apical side to expand in comparison to the basal side. These guidance molecules work in distinct ways, but together they direct the motoneuron axons to their synaptic targets. Just as the epidermis is patterned intrasegmentally by the action of segmentation genes (Nusslein-Volhard and Wieschaus 1980), these genes also play a role in dictating NB formation and identity within each hemi-segment. . This establishes that Lim3 directs expression of genes involved in ISNb trajectories (Thor et al. (B) H-cell and mVUMs are NotchOFF neurons that utilize l(1)sc to control cell-type specific development. 2011). These four-stage Drosophila embryos harvested and sorted at following four timing-points for inspection of DmFKBP12 expression during Drosophila development. . Article At the beginning of NB formation (stages 89), 910 NBs are arranged in three columns/hemi-segment along the dorsal-ventral (D-V; circumferential) axis and four rows along the anterior-posterior (A-P; longitudinal) axis (Figure 2B). This site needs JavaScript to work properly. To develop an automated annotation system, a key component is to build a comprehensive training set, in which each entity (in our case, images of gene expression in Drosophila embryo) is associated with the 'accurate' annotation (in our case, the corresponding stage). Previous work had identified the Distal antenna (Dan) and Distal antenna-related (Danr) TFs as regulators that limit hb expression in NBs (Kohwi et al. Adapted by permission from Elsevier: Developmental Cell (Bahrampour et al. The three germ Layers are generated by this movement. Keywords. GCM controls glial formation and differentiation (black), and inhibits neuronal differentiation (blue). 2017), is constructed upon the embryonic CNS. 2017; Bahrampour et al. 2006; Lee et al. 2018). Zhang, F, Z X Huang, H Bao, F Cong, H Wang et al. In temporal sequence, the MP4 equivalence group forms MP4 MP5 MP6 MNB. One key role of the apically localized Par complex is to direct the localization of the basal proteins, Miranda (Mira) and Partner of Numb (Pon), to the basal cortex (Li et al. Nat Comput Sci 1, 507508 (2021). Along the AP axis, segment polarity genes control intrasegmental patterning. 2015; Corson et al. The field has progressed from the earliest studies of comparative anatomy and cell fate mapping, to the genetic revolution, in which many of the molecular players in development were identified, and to the current era, in which new technologies have allowed scientists to quantify phenomena observed by their forebears.
