摘要

生物系统如何获得它们的形状和结构是一个具有许多实际意义的基本问题。像许多生物学一样,在过去的几十年里,组织和器官形态发生的重点是揭示细胞和亚细胞尺度上的调节机制。这些研究或隐或明地证实了一种观点,即形态的创造是由遗传和分子过程的结合所指导或控制的。然而,20世纪早期的先驱生物学理论家,如康拉德·沃丁顿(Conrad Waddington),告诫人们不要把生物学完全概括为生物化学和分子生物学。通过创造诸如“表观基因型”这样的术语,人们认为在基因型和表型之间的每个尺度上的过程对于组织形态发生是必要的。因此,组织过程的存在不能仅仅归结为“基因”和“环境”输入的总和。在这里,我们认为,揭示细胞之外的生殖表观遗传过程,但在生物体内需要一个整体导向的物理概念,包括力学和物质阶段的使用。为了揭示和清楚地阐明这种“细胞上”过程,我们讨论了间充质细胞和细胞外基质(ECM)之间的关系如何作为一个强大的模型系统。基于对间充质- ecm系统的研究,我们认为如果不了解超细胞过程本身,就不可能理解基因产物(如信号分子)的最终功能作用。

Epigenetics Beyond the Cell: Supracellular Organization of Fate and Form in Morphogenesis.

How biological systems obtain their shape and structure is a fundamental question with many practical implications. Like much of biology, over the last several decades, tissue and organ morphogenesis has focused on uncovering regulatory mechanisms at the cellular and subcellular scales. Such studies have either implicitly or explicitly reified the view that the creation of form is instructed or controlled by a combination of genetic and molecular processes. However, pioneering early twentieth century biological theorists such as Conrad Waddington cautioned against the total subsummation of biology by, for instance, biochemistry and molecular biology. Through the coining of terms such as "epigenotype," it was argued that processes at every scale between genotype and phenotype were necessary to organize morphogenesis. Thus, organizing processes exist that are not reducible merely to the sum of inputs from "genes" and "environment." Here, we argue that uncovering generative epigenetic processes beyond the cell yet within the organism requires a holistically oriented use of physical concepts involving mechanics and material phases. To uncover and clearly articulate such "supracellular" processes, we discuss how relations between mesenchymal cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) serve as a powerful model system. Based on the study of mesenchymal-ECM systems, we suggest that it may not be possible to understand the ultimate functional role of gene products such as signaling molecules without an appreciation of supracellular processes in their own right.
