The floor plate (FP) is a critical signaling center for the development of neural tube and body axis, and is localized at the ventral midline of the neural tube. Multiple types of neurons are present in the floor plate, while the distribution pattern of these neuronal cells remains unclear. By using transgenic zebrafish lines that specifically label different neuronal cells, we investigated the distribution pattern of these neurons in the floor plate region. Our results showed that foxj1a, sox2, clusterin and gfap genes were expressed in the medial floor plate (MFP), consisting of a single row of cells. The cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs), also named as Kolmer-Agduhr interneurons (KA' and KA" neurons), were located on the lateral sides of MFP. The foxj1a and pkd2l1 genes were expressed in the KA" neurons, which were located to the ventral terminal gap of wedge-shaped MFP cells. The neighboring KA" neurons were separated by neurons expressing Gfap, Olig2 or Sox2. In contrast, the KA' neurons were positive for Foxj1a神经底板(floor plate, FP)位于神经管腹侧中线区,存在多种神经细胞类型,是调控神经管分化及维持体轴生长的重要信号中心。目前,对神经底板处神经元细胞的类型及分布研究并不深入。本研究以斑马鱼(Danio rerio)为模式动物,结合多种神经细胞的转基因品系,分析了斑马鱼幼鱼中神经底板细胞群的排列图式。研究发现,foxj1a、sox2、clusterin和gfap等多个基因在内侧中央底板(medial floor plate, MFP)单排细胞中表达。Kolmer-Agduhr神经元KAʼ与KA”又称为脑脊液接触神经元,定位在MFP附近,其中KA”神经元表达foxj1a和pkd2l1基因,与表达Gfap蛋白、Olig2蛋白或Sox2蛋白的阳性细胞间隔性插入MFP细胞腹侧间隙中。KAʼ神经元位于KA”背侧,表达foxj1a、pkd2l1和olig2基因,并与Sox2 |
