Paraxial Mesoderm
• Forms the back of the embryo, along
the spine
• Somites - a series of dorsal paired
segments occurring along the
notochord in vertebrate embryos.

Somitogenesis

Periodicity
Somites are formed by the:
Notch pathway – induces hairy1 expression
![Page 7: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Separation
Ephrin tyrosine kinase
receptors (Eph A4) and
their ligands (Ephrin B2)
are able to elicit cell- cell
repulsion between
posterior somite and
migrating neural crest
cells.

Epithelialization
• Synthesis of
extracellular matrix
proteins, Fibronectin
and N-cadherin will
form tight junctions and
generate their own
basal laminae
• Paraxis gene encodes
for the transcription of
the ECM proteins.

Axial specification
– Each somite forms a specific type of vertebrae• Thoracic vertebrae: ribs
• Cervical vertebrae: neck
– Somites are specified according to the Hox genes they express
Thoracic somite

Differentiation
• Sclerotome - cartilage of vertebrae and part of rib
• Dermamyotome - remaining portion of the somitecontains precursors for:
• Dermatome – dermis (mesenchymal connective tissue of the skin)
• Myotome – muscle
![Page 11: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Primaxial (epaxial) myotome – intercostal muscles of the ribs; deep muscles of the back
• Abaxial (hypaxial) myotome – body wall, limbs, tongue
![Page 12: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determination of Somites
Sclerotome – Shh (high) from the notochord and neural tube floor plate
- Sclerotome cells secrete Pax1 (transcription factor) cartilage/ vertebrae formation
Dermatome – neurotrophin3 (NT3) and Wnt1 from neural roof plate, forms dermis
![Page 13: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Myotome:
• Abaxial - Wnt1, Wnt3a from the neural tube, forms body wall, limbs, tongue
• Primaxial - Shh (low), Wnt (epidermis) + BMP4 (lateral plate mesoderm),
forms muscle of the back
Notochord : degenerates through apoptosis (remnants remain as nucleus pulposus)
![Page 14: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Myogenesis
• Muscle formation
• Specification and differentiation of
myogenic BHLH (basic helix-loop-helix)
proteins
![Page 15: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Myogenesis
![Page 16: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Muscle cell fusion
![Page 17: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Osteogenesis
Bones
– The skeleton is generated from:
• Somites→ vertebrae
• Lateral plate mesoderm → limb bones
• Neural crest cells → brachial arch, craniofacial
bones
![Page 18: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Intramembranous Ossification– The direct conversion of mesenchymal tissue into bone
– This process occurs primarily in the bones of the skull
![Page 19: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• BMP activate Cbfa1,
a transcription factor
that transforms
mesenchymal cells to
osteoblasts
• Absence of Cbfa1 is
the elimination of
ossification
![Page 20: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Endochondral Ossification
– Mesenchymal cells differentiate into cartilage,
and this cartilage is later replaced by bone.
– Bone formation characteristic of the
vertebrae, limbs, and ribs.

Intermediate Mesoderm
![Page 24: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Kidney
• Generates the urogenital system, the
kidneys and gonads
• Nephron – functional unit, contains over
10,000 cells with at least 12 different cell
types
![Page 25: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. Pronephros
- pronephric duct arises in
the intermediate mesoderm
- duct cells migrate caudally
- anterior of the duct induced
the adjacent mesenchyme
to form pronephric tubules
- pronephros forms
functioning kidney of fish
larvae and amphibian
larvae
![Page 26: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
as the pronephric tubules degenerate, middle portion of nephric duct induces a new set of kidney tubules in the adjacent mesenchyme:
2. mesonephros
- as more tubules are induced caudally, anterior tubules begin to regress via apoptosis
- mesonephros function as one of the main sources of the hematopoietic stem cells
![Page 27: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. metanephros - permanent kidney of
amniotes
- metanephrogenic mesenchyme is
committed and forms in the posterior
regions of the intermediate mesoderm
- induces the formation of a branch from
each of the paired nephric ducts
- ureteric buds eventually separate form the
nephric duct; become collecting ducts and
ureters that take urine to the bladder
![Page 28: Paraxial and intermediate mesoderm](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a740221a28ab5f018b4608/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WT1 → secrete GNDF and HGF → uteric bud formation
