Organ size control via hydraulically gated oscillations

Abstract: Hollow vesicular tissues of various sizes and shapes arise in biological organs such as ears, guts, hearts, brains and even entire organisms. Regulating their size and shape is crucial for their function. Although chemical signaling has been thought to play a role in the regulation of cellular processes that feed into larger scales, it is increasingly recognized that mechanical forces are involved in the modulation of size and shape at larger length scales. Motivated by a variety of examples of tissue cyst for… Show more

“…The advantages of pressure-independent lumen growth remain to be firmly established in an in vivo context. However, we note that this mechanism is predicted to be physically robust and energy efficient relative to pressure-driven growth, which exposes tissues to pressuredriven rupture (Chan et al, 2019;Ruiz-Herrero et al, 2017). Notably, cells in some model systems continue to utilize pressure-independent mechanisms to grow lumens beyond these intermediate stages, for example, by addition of cells or by fusion of smaller lumens (Cerruti et al, 2013;Dumortier et al, 2019).…”

“…Previous work in MDCK spheroids and other systems has assumed that lumen growth is driven by hydrostatic pressure (Fig. 1a) (Chan et al, 2019;Dasgupta et al, 2018;Latorre et al, 2018;Ruiz-Herrero et al, 2017). In this model, lumen growth is governed by the Young-Laplace equation, which states that the pressure difference (P) between the cells and the lumen is counterbalanced by the surface tension (ɣ) of the lumen surface (apical faces of the cells) and inversely proportional to the lumen radius (r): !"…”

“…Systems such as digits patterning, where cell volume fraction spatial pattern appears concomitant to morphogen patterns [26], or planarian antero-posterior patterning, where pairs of activator/inhibitor have not been clearly identified [41], provide possible testing grounds for our model. Interestingly, large-scale extracellular fluid flows have been increasingly observed during embryo development, not only in the classical case of cilia driven flows [48], but also due to mechanical forces arising from cellular contractions as well as osmotic and poro-viscous effects [49,50], calling for a more systematic understanding of passive vs. active transport mechanisms during embryonic pattern formation. Whether biological examples of Turing patterning instabilities, such as left-right or dorso-ventral patterning, digits pattern formation or skin appendages patterns are causally associated with concomitant changes in cell volume and/or cell packing remains a result to be experimentally investigated.…”

“…The mechanics of developmental processes involves multiple scales, and a number of papers discuss examples of this: Boselli and colleagues consider the role of fluid flows and shear stress in orienting tissue movements (Boselli et al, 2017), Nelson and colleagues look at the effects of pressure on early branching processes (Nelson et al, 2017), Ruiz-Herrero and colleagues provide a general framework for size control of growing tissue cysts (Ruiz-Herrero et al, 2017), Lefevre and colleagues analyse multiscale branching in the mammalian kidney (Lefevre et al, 2017), and axis elongation in the avian embryo is the focus of the work of Bénazéraf and colleagues (Bénazéraf et al, 2017).…”
