Chemokine Signaling Mediates Self-Organizing Tissue Migration in the Zebrafish Lateral Line

Abstract: The shape of most complex organ systems arises from the directed migration of cohesive groups of cells. Here, we dissect the role of the chemokine guidance receptor Cxcr4b in regulating the collective migration of one such cohesive tissue, the zebrafish lateral line primordium. Using in vivo imaging, we show that the shape and organization of the primordium is surprisingly labile, and that internal cell movements are uncoordinated in embryos with reduced Cxcr4b signaling. Genetic mosaic experiments reveal that… Show more

“…2J, arrows), suggesting that SDF1/CXCR4 and Wnt/LEF1 signaling redundantly repress this gene in the leading cells. We cannot rule out, however, the alternative possibility that cxcr7b expressing cells are transiently present in the leading region due to abnormal cell movement within the primordium (Haas and Gilmour, 2006). Contrary to cxcr4b, cxcr7b is not expressed at all at the early stage where cxcr4b is ubiquitously expressed (Fig.…”

“…We therefore repeated the experiment in 26 hpf embryos that were doubly transgenic for cxcr4b:rfp and for cldnb:gfp, where all cells of the PLL system express a membranebound green fluorescent protein (GFP; Haas and Gilmour, 2006). We observed that the level of red fluorescence at 26 hpf was reduced by 50% in morphant vs. control embryos (Figs.…”
