Q

explain why no forelimb in python

A

HoxC6 starts at top therefore no place where it stops= no forelimbs

HoxC8 goes from top almost all the way down= hindlimbs very far down, residual nubs

these genes are expressed throughout the trunk starting from the hindlimb up to the first cervical vertebrae. A sharp boundary of HOXC8 is detected near the future hindlimb. Expansion of HOXC6 and HOXC8 expression in python embryos can account for extended thorax and loss of fore limbs.

Q

The limb mesenchyme signals (via ___) the overlying ectodermal to elongate and thicken, to form the ___.

A

FGF10

apical ectodermal ridge (AER)

26
Q

AER

A

apical ectodermal ridge (AER)

The ridge of the AER runs along the distal margin of the limb bud.

The factor secreted by the mesenchyme to induce the AER is FGF10.

Outgrowth and differentiation of the limb depend upon inductive interactions between the AER and the underlying limb mesenchyme.

27
Q

Outgrowth and differentiation of the limb depend upon inductive interactions between the ___ and the underlying limb mesenchyme.

A

AER

apical ectodermal ridge

28
Q

The factor secreted by the mesenchyme to induce the AER is ___

A

FGF10.

29
Q

Examples of reciprocal signaling between Mesoderm and AER (Ectoderm)

A

If the AER is removed, the mesoderm stops dividing.

If a supernumerary AER is grafted adjacent to a developing limb, a supernumerary limb results.

If forelimb mesoderm is replaced by hindlimb mesoderm the AER will direct development of the grafted limb into a hindlimb.

If limb bud mesoderm is removed from an early limb bud and replaced by non-limb mesoderm, the AER regresses and the mesoderm ceases proliferation.

30
Q

Molecules of the FGF family appear to be responsible for the AER activity. If AER is removed and replaced by a bead soaked in FGF a normal limb development will form. ___ is expressed at the right place and the right time to play this role.

A

FGF8

31
Q

what are two models to explain limb patterning?

A

termporally

pre patterned

32
Q

limb is broken into three zones:

A

stylopod

zeugopod

autopod

33
Q

The zone immediately adjacent to the AER is the ___

A

progress zone (PZ).

34
Q

The AER is believed to maintain ___ cells in an undifferentiated state, stimulating their division

A

progress zone (PZ)

35
Q

AER produces ___ which stimulates the ___ to ___

A

FGF8

progress zone

to produce differentiated cells, the cells that leave first and differentiate first become the humerus (stylopod) then zeugopod, then autopod

36
Q

The ___ participate in the establishment of the proximal-distal axis of the limb

A

progress zone

37
Q

During outgrowth of the limb, cells of the ___ are assigned progressively more distal positional identities.

A

progress zone

38
Q

Cells leaving the progress zone differentiate and their positional value will depend on the time at which they leave the progress zone.

explain

A

cells that leave PZ first are the cells that will turn into the humerus, closest to the body. will form cartilage and bone before the cells that leave the PZ last that become fingers

39
Q

The first cells leaving the progress zone form ___ structures, the cells that have undergone numerous divisions in the progress zone become the more ___.

A

proximal (humerus)

distal structures (fingers)

40
Q

If AER is removed then ___

A

limbs will stop developing, if removed early on humerus will form is AER removed later humerus and radius will form ect.

41
Q

what makes flipper babies

A

thalidomide

phocomelia

Thalidomide blocks cell growth in the progress zone despite continued exposure to AER-derived FGF8

42
Q

phocomelia

A

flipper babies from exposure to thalidomide

Thalidomide blocks cell growth in the progress zone despite continued exposure to AER-derived FGF8

cells in the progress zone never end up outside the range of FGF8. Instead, the entire PZ is progressively assuming distal characteristics. -hand only instead of arms and hands

43
Q

___ is essential for joints formation and for the separation of the digits.

A

apoptosis (programmed cell death)

44
Q

The signal for apoptosis is provided by ___ expressed in the interdigital mesenchyme.

A

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs)

45
Q

In the duck, cell death is inhibited by a ___, expressed between the digits.

A

BMP inhibitor, Gremlin,

keeps webbing

46
Q

Abnormal persistence of soft tissues between the digits or lack of separation of the digits is a condition known as ___

A

syndactyly.

47
Q

syndactyly

A

Abnormal persistence of soft tissues between the digits or lack of separation of the digits is a condition known as

48
Q

three axes of limb

A

proximal-distal, anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral

49
Q

The AER extends from the anterior to posterior along the dorsal/ventral boundary of the growing limb. Immediately under the AER is the ___.

A

progress zone

50
Q

Located in the posterior mesoderm is the___ that controls the ___ polarity of the limb.

A

ZPA zone of polarizing activity

anterior-posterior

51
Q

The __ axis is specified by a timing mechanism and the dorsal-ventral axis is specified by the ectoderm. The AER, PZ and ZPA cooperate, so that limb patterning and growth are partly dependent of their coordinated function.

A

proximal-distal

52
Q

The ___ axis is specified by the posterior mesoderm of the limb bud known as the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA).

A

anterior-posterior

53
Q

The pattern of digit formation is dependent upon the ___.

A

zone of polarizing activity ZPA

54
Q

Anterior transplantation of ZPA induces ___ of the digits.

A

duplication

55
Q

___, a secreted protein, mediates the polarizing activity of the ZPA.

A

Sonic hedgehog (Shh)

56
Q

Why doesn’t FGF8 activate Shh expression in the entire mesenchyme beneath the AER?

A

only cells in the zone of polarizing activity produce Gremlin. This inhibits BMP. This makes the cells differential competence which allows then to innertact with Shh and activate a FGF4-Shh feedback loop.

57
Q

In the limb bud the ___ polarity is determined by the ectoderm by ___

A

dorsal-ventral

palm vs back of hand

Wnt7a

58
Q

The___ gene is restricted to the dorsal ectoderm of the limb bud.

A

Wnt7a

59
Q

is Wnt 7a is removed from limb bud what will happen

A

no dorsal region

would have palms on both side of hand

60
Q

how does Sox 9 lead to bone

A

mesenchyme + sox 9 = cartilage which is then replaced by bone during endochondral ossification
