摘要
目的在原肠期,斑马鱼胚胎细胞进行着外包(epiboly)、内卷(involution)以及汇聚延伸(convergence and extension)运动,对于胚胎的形态发生起关键作用。本文旨在研究isthmin 1(ism1)在斑马鱼胚胎发育中的表达图谱,并进一步探讨其在原肠期胚胎汇聚延伸运动中的功能。方法通过原位杂交技术,检测ism1在斑马鱼早期胚胎发育中的表达图谱;利用过表达和特异敲降等实验技术,活体拍照及原位杂交检测ism1对胚胎汇聚延伸运动的影响。结果整胚原位杂交实验结果显示ism1是合子表达的基因,在30%外包时期开始表达于胚胎背部,原肠期表达在整个胚胎边缘区,尤其在胚盾部位表达更为明显。活体拍摄及原位杂交结果表明,与野生型斑马鱼胚胎相比,过表达或敲低ism1均会使胚胎的汇聚延伸运动受到影响。结论 ism1是调控斑马鱼胚胎原肠期汇聚延伸运动的重要基因。
Objective During zebrafish embryo gastrulation,the embryonic body plan is established by coordinated movements,including epiboly,involution,and convergence and extension（ CE） movements. The aim of this study was to examine the expression patterns and the developmental functions of isthmin 1（ ism1） during zebrafish gastrulation. Methods First,the expression of ism1 was examined using whole mount in situ hybridization during zebrafish embryonic development. Next,antisense morpholino oligonucleotide against ism1 and ism1 mRNA were injected into zebrafish embryos,respectively,to investigate its role in CE movements. Results ism1 is an early zygotic gene that is expressed in the dorsal side at 30% epiboly stage and in the blastoderm margin with the highest level in the dorsal organizer at shield stage as revealed by whole-mount in situ hybridization experiments. Compared with the wild-type embryos,either gain-or loss-of-function of ism1 leads to severe defects of CE movements. Conclusions Ism1 plays an essential role in CE movements during zebrafish embryo gastrulation.
