During embryonic development HOX genes determine the body axis and the positions of the limbs
136
What are the three axis which limb growth is regulated along?
1. Proximo-distal
2. Antero-posterior
3. Dorso-ventral
137
What controls proximo-distal development?
AER (Apical Ectodermal Ridge)
138
What structures make up the limb bud?
Core of mesenchyme
Ectoderm which forms the outer covering of the limb
Ectoderm is thickened at the 'apex' of the developing limb to form the Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER)
139
What does the AER do?
Induces the underlying tissue to remain as a population of undifferentiated, rapidly proliferating cells known as the progress zone
140
What happens to cells as they move away from the AER?
They begin to differentiate into cartilage and muscle
141
What is the mechanism of proximo-distal development?
1. HOX-8 genes control the position of the long axis of the body
2. Initiation of outgrowth of the fore limb is controlled by transcriptor factors and growth factors
3. AER secretes growth factors (FGF4 and FGF8) to maintain the progress zone
4. As growth progresses, mesenchymal cells are left behind and differentiate.
142
What structure controls the antero-posterior axis?
ZPA- Zone of polarizing Activity
143
How is development of the antero-posterior axis controlled?
Clusters of cells near the posterior border of the limb form the ZPA which regulates the AP axis. It ensures that the thumb grows on the anterior side of the lib bud.
ZPA expresses the preotin Sonic Hedgehog
144

| Dorsal surface doesn't contain BMP
145
