Abstract
Paramisgurnus dabryanus is one of the most economically important fishes in China. Barbels are an essential sensory organ for the food-seeking ability of teleost fish. However, the anatomical structure of the maxillary barbels of P. dabryanus and the molecular basis of their development are unknown. We investigated the anatomical structure of the barbel, and gene expression patterns of two chemokine C-C motif ligands: CCL4 and CCL13-like during the maxillary barbel development using Masson Trichrome staining, light and electron microscopy, and qPCR. Anatomically, the maxillary barbel of P. dabryanus contains taste buds, melanophores, collagen fibers, connective tissue, smooth muscles, nerve bundles, and blood vessels, but does not have skeletal muscles or a skeleton rod. The expression of CCL4 and CCL13-like was weak or non-existent in the early phases of development, but high at the last two studied time-points: 192- and 216-h post-hatching. Results indicated that CCL4 and CCL13-like were related to the development of the maxillary barbel.
期刊介绍:
Organogenesis is a peer-reviewed journal, available in print and online, that publishes significant advances on all aspects of organ development. The journal covers organogenesis in all multi-cellular organisms and also includes research into tissue engineering, artificial organs and organ substitutes.
The overriding criteria for publication in Organogenesis are originality, scientific merit and general interest. The audience of the journal consists primarily of researchers and advanced students of anatomy, developmental biology and tissue engineering.
The emphasis of the journal is on experimental papers (full-length and brief communications), but it will also publish reviews, hypotheses and commentaries. The Editors encourage the submission of addenda, which are essentially auto-commentaries on significant research recently published elsewhere with additional insights, new interpretations or speculations on a relevant topic. If you have interesting data or an original hypothesis about organ development or artificial organs, please send a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief. You will normally receive a reply within days. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer review, and accepted manuscripts will be posted to the electronic site of the journal immediately and will appear in print at the earliest opportunity thereafter.
