One of the first morphogenic events in lens development is placodal thickening, which converts the presumptive lens ectoderm from cuboidal to pseudostratified epithelium. This process occurs in the anterior pre-placodal ectoderm when the optic vesicle approaches the cephalic ectoderm and is regulated by transcription factor Pax6 and secreted BMP4. Since cells and ECM have a dynamic relationship of interdependence and modulation, we hypothesized that the ECM evolves with cell shape changes during lens placode formation. This study investigates changes in optic ECM including both protein distribution deposition, extracellular gelatinase activity and gene expression patterns during early optic development using chicken and mouse models. In particular, the expression of <em>Timp2</em>, a metalloprotease inhibitor, corresponds with a decrease in gelatinase activity within the optic ECM. Furthermore, we demonstrate that optic ECM remodeling depends on BMP signaling in the placode. Together, our findings suggest that the lens placode plays an active role in remodeling the optic ECM during early eye development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50579,"journal":{"name":"Differentiation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141472143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple model systems have been developed to understand the function of <em>GABRA1</em>, but these models have produced complex and, at times, incongruent data.

We investigated the behavioral swim patterns associated with a nonsense mutation of the zebrafish <em>gabra1</em> (<em>sa43718</em> allele) gene. The <em>sa43718</em> allele causes a decrease in <em>gabra1</em> mRNA expression, which is associated with light induced hypermotility, one phenotype previously associated with seizure like behavior in zebrafish.

However, in humans, mutations in Pax6 predominantly result in iris deficiency rather than neurological phenotypes. This may be attributed to the distinct functions of Pax6 isoforms, <em>Pax6a</em> and <em>Pax6b</em>. In this study, we investigated the spatial and temporal expression patterns of Pax6 isoforms during different stages of mouse eye development. We observed a strong correlation between <em>Pax6a</em> expression and the neuroretina gene <em>Sox2</em>, while <em>Pax6b</em> showed a high correlation with iris-component genes, including the mesenchymal gene <em>Foxc1</em>. During early patterning from E10.5, <em>Pax6b</em> was expressed in the hinge of the optic cup and neighboring mesenchymal cells, whereas <em>Pax6a</em> was absent in these regions. At E14.5, both <em>Pax6a</em> and <em>Pax6b</em> were expressed in the future iris and ciliary body, coinciding with the integration of mesenchymal cells and <em>Mitf</em>-positive cells in the outer region. From E18.5, Pax6 isoforms exhibited distinct expression patterns as lineage genes became more restricted. To further validate these findings, we utilized ESC-derived eye organoids, which recapitulated the temporal and spatial expression patterns of lineage genes and Pax6 isoforms. Additionally, we found that the spatial expression patterns of <em>Foxc1</em> and <em>Mitf</em> were impaired in <em>Pax6b</em>-mutant ESC-derived eye organoids. This in vitro eye organoids model suggested the involvement of <em>Pax6b</em>-positive local mesodermal cells in iris development.

However, the mechanisms that maintain the post-mitotic state in this context remain poorly understood. To gain insight into these mechanisms, we used the genetically and visually accessible model of <em>C. elegans</em> anchor cell (AC) invasion into the vulval epithelium. The AC is a terminally differentiated uterine cell that normally exits the cell cycle and enters a post-mitotic state before initiating contact between the uterus and vulva through a cell invasion event. Here, we set out to identify the set of negative cell cycle regulators that maintain the AC in this post-mitotic, invasive state. Our findings revealed a critical role for CKI-1 (p21<sup>CIP1</sup>/p27<sup>KIP1</sup>) in redundantly maintaining the post-mitotic state of the AC, as loss of CKI-1 in combination with other negative cell cycle regulators—including CKI-2 (p21<sup>CIP1</sup>/p27<sup>KIP1</sup>), LIN-35 (pRb/p107/p130), FZR-1 (Cdh1/Hct1), and LIN-23 (β-TrCP)—resulted in proliferating ACs. Remarkably, time-lapse imaging revealed that these ACs retain their ability to invade. Upon examination of a node in the gene regulatory network controlling AC invasion, we determined that proliferating, invasive ACs do so by maintaining aspects of pro-invasive gene expression.
