AbstractNeural tube closure defects are a major cause of infant mortality, with exencephaly accounting for nearly one-third of cases. However, the mechanisms of cranial neural tube closure are not well understood. Here we show that this process involves a tissue-wide pattern of apical constriction controlled by Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. Midline cells in the mouse midbrain neuroepithelium are short with large apical surfaces, whereas lateral cells are taller and undergo synchronous apical constriction, driving neural fold elevation. Embryos lacking the Shh effector Gli2 fail to produce appropriate midline cell architecture, whereas embryos with expanded Shh signaling, including the IFT-A complex mutants Ift122 and Ttc21b and embryos expressing activated Smoothened, display apical constriction defects in lateral cells. Disruption of lateral, but not midline, cell remodeling results in exencephaly. These results reveal a morphogenetic program of patterned apical constriction governed by Shh signaling that generates structural changes in the developing mammalian brain.

ABSTRACTPathogenic mutations in the endocytic receptor LRP2 in humans are associated with severe neural tube closure defects (NTDs) such as anencephaly and spina bifida. Here, we have combined analysis of neural tube closure in mouse and in the African Clawed Frog Xenopus laevis to elucidate the etiology of Lrp2-related NTDs. Lrp2 loss of function impaired neuroepithelial morphogenesis, culminating in NTDs that impeded anterior neural plate folding and neural tube closure in both model organisms. Loss of Lrp2 severely affected apical constriction as well as proper localization of the core planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Vangl2, demonstrating a highly conserved role of the receptor in these processes, which are essential for neural tube formation. In addition, we identified a novel functional interaction of Lrp2 with the intracellular adaptor proteins Shroom3 and Gipc1 in the developing forebrain. Our data suggest that, during neurulation, motifs within the intracellular domain of Lrp2 function as a hub that orchestrates endocytic membrane removal for efficient apical constriction, as well as PCP component trafficking in a temporospatial manner.

Tube Closure

Neural tube closure (NTC) is a fundamental process during vertebrate embryonic development and is indispensable for the formation of the central nervous system. Here, using Xenopus laevis embryos, live imaging, single-cell tracking, optogenetics, and loss of function experiments we examine the contribution of convergent extension (CE) and apical constriction (AC) and we define the role of the surface ectoderm (SE) during NTC. We show that NTC is a two-stage process and that CE and AC do not overlap temporally while their spatial activity is distinct. PCP-driven CE is restricted to the caudal part of the neural plate (NP) and takes place during the first stage. CE is essential for correct positioning of the NP rostral most region in the midline of the dorsoventral axis. AC occurs after CE throughout the NP and is the sole contributor of anterior NTC. We go on to show that the SE is mechanically coupled with the NP providing resistive forces during NTC. Its movement towards the midline is passive and driven by forces generated through NP morphogenesis. Last, we show that increase of SE resistive forces is detrimental for NP morphogenesis, showing that correct SE development is permissive for NTC.
