| LSFM2017 - Session: Live Imaging and Development (S6) 16 June 2017, Friday | 2:45 PM "A Left-right Differential Cell Migration Drives Heart Looping in Vertebrates" Dr. Oscar Ocaña, Instituto de Neurociencias, Spain |
| Abstract: A Left-right Differential Cell Migration Drives Heart Looping in Vertebrates The establishment of a left-right asymmetric pathway is a central event during embryo development for proper positioning, morphogenesis and function of internal organs. Activation of Nodal-Pitx2 axis specifically within the left lateral plate mesoderm confers left identity during organ positioning and differentiation. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) inducer Snail represses Pitx2 on the right. Whether in addition to the repression of the left cascade an informative right-derived information operates in the embryo has remained elusive. Here we show that in vertebrates, BMP signaling activates EMT inducers preferentially on the right that promote differential L/R cell movements and heart bending through an actomyosin-dependent mechanism. Downregulation of EMT prevents heart looping leading to mesocardia, one of the most severe congenital heart defects. This indicates that a right-handed informative cascade also exists in vertebrates and therefore, that two parallel left and right pathways, respectively driven by Nodal and BMP integrate left and right information to govern the morphogenesis and positioning of the heart. Taking the advantage of in vivo light sheet microscopy (ZEISS), we would like to analyze in detail the EMT process that drives heart looping in vertebrates. |
Lightsheet Z.1 delivers optical sections of large samples, with virtually no phototoxicity or bleaching and with high temporal resolution. The unique Multiview light sheet fluorescence microscope allows you to record the development of large, living samples and gently image them to deliver exceptionally high information content. It is also fast: Lightsheet Z.1 is the tool you need to get optical sections at unprecedented speed. Acquire images of your whole sample volume at sub-cellular resolution – in a fraction of the time it takes using other techniques.
Axio Zoom.V16 combines a 16x zoom with a high numerical aperture of NA 0.25, moving to the forefront of all known stereo and zoom microscopes. It achieves a very high aperture in the medium zoom range already: You get superior brightness in large object fields. With Axio Zoom.V16, the fluorescence zoom microscope for large samples you view complete model organisms in fluorescence contrast.
Create optical sections of your fluorescent samples – free of scattered light. With structured illumination, you know that only the focal plane appears in your image: ApoTome.2 recognizes the magnification and moves the appropriate grid into the beampath. The system then calculates your optical section from three images with different grid positions without time lag. It’s a totally reliable way to prevent scattered out-of-focus light, even in your thicker specimens. Operate your system just as easy as always. You get images with high contrast in the best possible resolution – simply brilliant optical sections.
