Properties of somitogenesis:
1. It is a sequential and directional process: the oldest somites are located anteriorly (and are more differentiated); the youngest somites are located most posteriorly.
2. It is a periodic process; new boundaries form after a given amount of time.
3. The vertebrate body shows bilateral symmetry.
4. Somite boundary formation is synchronous.
Gilbert. Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
As somitogenesis is a continuous process, various stages of somitogenesis are present simultaneously in the developing embryo.

Newborn Skull:
At birth, flat bones are separated by sutures and fontanelles; allows molding at birth.
Cranial capacity increases very little after 5-7 years of age.
Some sutures remain open until adulthood.
Palpitation of anterior fontanelleprovides valuable information onproper ossification ofthe skull.
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 9th ed.
Craniofacial Defects:
Cranioschisis: abnormal cranial vault formation due to failure of cranial neuropore closure
anencephaly
meningocele
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 10th ed.
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 10th ed.
Craniofacial Defects:
Craniosynostosis: premature closure of one or more sutures (1:2500 births and more than 100 syndromes)
Scaphocephaly:early closure of
sagittal suture
Brachycephaly:early closure of
coronal/lambdoidal sutures
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 10th ed.
Craniofacial Defects:
Thanatophoric dwarfism: Dwarfism with or without cloverleaf skull (abnormal growth of skull base with premature closures of all cranial sutures); neonatal lethal; autosomal dominant.
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 10th ed.
Craniofacial Defects:
Microcephaly: generalized failure of brain growth; results in severe mental retardation
Acromegaly: congenital hyperpituitarism which results in excessive production of growth hormone; usually disproportianal enlargement of face, hands and feet (sometimes results in symmetrical growth)
Two types of ossification:
1. Endochondral: mesenchyme differentiate into cartilagenous condensates, which then become ossified (i.e. axial, limb)
2. Intramembranous: mesenchymal cells differentiate directly into bone (i.e. flat bones of the skull).
Muscular system(Muscle is of mesodermal origin):
Skeletal muscle derives from somites
Smooth muscle derive from splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm
Cardiac muscle derives splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm of the heart tube
Voluntary facial muscles derive from anterior somitic mesoderm
Skeletal muscles form from somites (paraxial mesoderm)
Each somite differentiates into sclerotome, dermatome and myotome;Myotome forms muscles.
Sclerotome becomes axial skeleton and ribs
Myotome forms most of the body and limb musculature
Dermatome gives rise to the dermis of the skin

Source Undetermined
Stages of somite differentiation:
1. Completely epithelialized
2. Mesenchymal transformation of ventromedial somite into sclerotome
3. Myotome separates from dermo-myotome
4. Dermatome de-epithelializes to become dermal fibroblasts
Carlson: Human Embryology and Developmental Biology. Elsevier, 2004. 3rd. Ed.
By the end of the fifth week, prospective muscles are found divided into two parts:Epimere - back muscles (from dorsomedial lip of myotome)Hypomere - body wall and limb muscles (from ventro medial lip of myotome)

Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 10th ed.
Determination of the Myotome:- Shh and noggin, secreted by the notochord and floor plate cause the ventral part of the somite to express Pax1 to form sclerotome. - Wnts signaling (dorsal neural tube) and low Shh (notochord) activate Pax 3, which induces dermamyotome.
- Wnts also direct the dorsomedial portion of the somite to form epaxial (back) muscles. - NT-3 directs dermatome differentiation. - Hypaxial (limb and body wall) muscles are formed from dorsolateral portion of the somite due to Wnt and Bmp4 signalling. - Both muscle pathways direct MyoD and/or Myf5 signaling.
Sadler. Langman’s Medical Embryology. Lippincott 2004. 9th ed.
Wnt, Shh,
Myf5, MyoD
Conversion of myotome to muscles cells require multiple steps:All cells fated to become muscle, express MyoD
Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
Committed myoblasts in culture divide and proliferate (without differentiating) in the presence of growth factors (primarily FGFs), but show no muscle-specific protein expression. When the growth factors are used up, the cells cease to divide, align and fuse into myotubules. When the myoblasts align
(but prior to fusion), they cease to divide (shown here by lack of incorporation of radiolabeled thymidine).
Myotubes form when myoblasts align and fuse. The cell membranes between the multinucleate, aligned cells dissolve (requires Myogenin).
If adhesion in these cells are experimentally blocked, differentiation does not proceed.
Gilbert. Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
Myogenesis occurs in two phases, the first results in the formation of primary myotubes - these arise prior to innervation by motor neurons. Secondary myotubes, which are smaller, form adjacent to primary tubules, arise after motoneuron innervation and depend upon it. They are electrically coupled.
Satellite cells: Lineage is unclear, but persist after development and are capable of proliferating in response to muscle fiber damage.
Carlson: Human Embryology and Developmental Biology. Elsevier, 2004. 3rd. Ed.
Cardiac Muscle:Develops from splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm surrounding heart tube. Myoblasts adhere, but do not fuse to one another and, later in development, form intercalated discs. Later still a few specialized bundles of muscle cells, the Purkinje fibers, form the conducting system.
Smooth Muscle: Mostly derived from splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm, but part of aorta and coronary arteries are neural crest derived. Only the sphincter, the dilator muscle of the pupil, mammary and sweat gland muscles are derived from ectoderm.

EARLY LIMB PATTERNING:
Limb formation initiates during the fourth week of development (E9.0 in mouse) as the primary axis (AP) is still elongating. First the forelimb and then the hindlimb begin as protrusions from the lateral plate mesoderm at the sides of the embryo. Limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme and an outer covering of ectoderm.
1 in 200 live human births display limb defects.

Endochondral bone formation:A. Mesenchyme begins to condense into chondrocytesB. Chondrocytes form a model of the prospective boneC. Blood vessels invade the center of the model, where osteoblasts localize,
and proliferation is restricted to the ends (epiphyses)D. Chondrocytes toward the shaft (diaphyses) undergo hypertrophy and
apoptosis as they mineralize the surrounding matrix.
Growth of the long bones is maintained by proliferation of chondrocytes in the growth plates (long bones have two growth plates, in smaller bones (phalanges), there is only one at the tip)

Gilbert. Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
Molecular control of dorsoventral (DV) patterning:
Early mesenchymal signals establish Wnt7a expression in the dorsal ectoderm and Lmx1 expression in the dorsal mesenchyme.- Loss of expression results in bi-ventral limbs.
Expression of Wnt7a is restricted to the dorsal ectoderm because it is repressed in the ventral ectoderm by En1. En1 expression is induced by BMP signaling.-Loss of expression results in bi-dorsal limbs.
-Important Note: Disruption of DV patterning does NOT affect specification of the skeletal elements.Carlson: Human Embryology and Developmental Biology. Elsevier, 2004. 3rd. Ed.
Carlson: Human Embryology and Developmental Biology. Elsevier, 2004. 3rd. Ed.
Juxtaposition of Wnt7a and En1 promotes formation of the AER

Junction = AER
Source Undetermined
At the tip of the limb bud a signaling structure, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) forms. It signals mesenchyme
to proliferate and the limb grows.
Removal of the AER inhibits outgrowth of the limbTransplantation of a second AER duplicates the limb; diplopodia. The signals responsible for this are fibroblast growth factors.
Gilbert. Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
Proximodistal (PD) growth - regulated by AER (Fgfs):
Embryological manipulation in the developing chick limb established that the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is necessary for maintenance of PD outgrowth in the limb bud. Removal of the AER at early stages causes severe truncations of the limb skeletal elements. Progressively later removal of the AER causes progressively more distal truncations of limb elements.
Removal of AER in chick at progressively later HH stages of development
Gilbert. Developmental Biology, Sinauer and Associates. Eighth Edition
Removal of AER: arrests limb development at stage at which it was removed
Carlson: Human Embryology and Developmental Biology. Elsevier, 2004. 3rd. Ed.
Fgf4/Fgf8 double mutants(Sun, et al., 2002):
No limb outgrowth, BUTearly patterning markers are unperturbed.
Thus, Fgf’s only permissive for outgrowth, apparently not important for early patterning.
Sun, et al., Nature, 2002Source Undetermined
Molecular control of proximodistal (PD) growth:
Identical results have been achieved in mouse genetic models.
Genetic removal of Fgf8 and Fgf4 in the AER of developing mouse limbs at progressively earlier time points cause more severe (more proximal) truncations, proving that Fgf4 and Fgf8 represent the AER activity required for PD outgrowth.
Important Note: With complete removal of all AER FGF expression, NO limb skeletal elements are formed BUT the limb bud is established at the normal time and location and early markers are expressed normally.
Therefore, FGFs are essential for limb bud outgrowth but DO NOT appear to be important for limb patterning.
Niswander. Pattern Formation: Old models out on a limb. Nature.com. February 2003, volume 4.
Anterior-posterior (AP) patterning: Early embryological experimentation in chick established that an area at the posterior, distal margin of the emerging limb bud, when grafted to an anterior location, was capable of causing mirror-image duplications of the digits. This region was termed Zone of Polarizing Activity (ZPA).
Source Undetermined
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression was shown to be coincident with the ZPA region and Shh soaked beads could reproduce the digit phenotype.

Loss of Shh results in single stylopod, single zeugopod, single digit - consistent with idea that Shh is critical AP patterning molecule…
However, biochemical work was showing that Gli3 was the transcriptional modulator of Shh function.
Gli3 loss-of-function resulted in polydactyly.
Shh and Gli3 are dispensable for limb skeleton formation but regulate digit number and identity. Nature.com. August, 2002, Volume 418.

Shockingly, Shh/Gli3 double mutants look identical to Gli3 nulls!!
Shh only modulates inherent polydactylous limb ‘ground state.’Shh and Gli3 are dispensable for limb skeleton formation but regulate digit
number and identity. Nature.com. August, 2002, Volume 418.
Molecular control of anteroposterior (AP) patterning:
In mice,- Loss of Shh causes a reduction in elements to 1 stylopod element, 1 zeugopod element and a single digit, digit #1.- Loss of Gli3, which is downstream of Shh in many systems, causes the other extreme, synpolydactyly (supernumerary digits with no discernible pattern).- Double mutants of Shh and Gli3 phenocopy Gli3 mutants, demonstrating that Shh’s activity is largely through its downstream transcription factor, Gli3.
-Important Note: The Shh/Gli3 system does NOT affect the ability of the skeletal elements to form.

Whether the ectopic limb becomes forelimb or hindlimb depends on WHERE in the flank it is induced.
Identity of ectopic limb is correlated with expression of Tbx.
