Migration of neuronal cells along the anterior-posterior body axis of C. elegans: Wnts are in control
Marie Silhankova et al. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2007 Aug.
Abstract
Migrating neuronal cells are directed to their final positions by an array of guidance cues. It has been shown that guidance molecules such as UNC-6/Netrin and SLT-1/Slit play a major role in controlling cell and axon migrations along the dorsal-ventral body axis. Much less is known, however, about the mechanisms that mediate migration along the anterior-posterior (AP) body axis. Recent research in Caenorhabditis elegans has uncovered an important role of the Wnt family of signalling molecules in controlling AP-directed neuronal cell migration and polarity. A common theme that emerges from these studies is that multiple Wnt proteins function in parallel as instructive cues or permissive signals to control neuronal patterning along this major body axis.
