| Abstract | Chicken embryo neural crest cells that migrate into a paraxial mesoderm constructed of multiple rostral half-somites from quail embryos form unsegmented "polyganglia," instead of distinct dorsal root ganglia (DRG). We report here that the environment that is created by grafting rostral somitic (RS) moieties not only is permissive for neural crest cell migration and consequent DRG formation but also is mitogenic for the DRG precursor cells. On embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5), 1 day after surgery, there is a 42% average increase in volume of the polyganglia compared with the corresponding DRG on the unoperated side. The volume increase is accounted for by an increased number of DRG cells--an average of 46% more cells are found in the polyganglia. The increases in volume and cell number are still present a day later at E4.5 (38% and 52%, respectively) and are observed in both limb-forming and non-limb-forming regions of the embryonic axis. The mechanism for this increase in cell number and volume in the polyganglia is enhanced proliferative activity. On E3.5 the proportion of cells incorporating thymidine of the total DRG cell number is 45% higher in the polyganglia than the control side, when embryos are given a short pulse before sacrifice. This indicates that rostral sclerotomal environment stimulates the crest cells to proliferate. The difference in volume between the polyganglia and the normal DRG continues to grow until at least E8, when the polyganglia are twice as large as the control DRG. The continued increase in volume can also be accounted for by the mitogenic effect of the RS grafts, since on E4.5 the percentage of thymidine-labeled cells compared with the total cell number in DRG is 28% higher in the polyganglia than in control ganglia. This study demonstrates that the somitic microenvironment regulates the proliferation of neural crest cells in the nascent DRG. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
