Xenopus laevis(an anuran amphibian) shows limb regeneration ability between that of urodele amphibians and that of amniotes.Xenopusfrogs can initiate limb regeneration but fail to form patterned limbs. Regenerated limbs mainly consist of cone-shaped cartilage without any joints or branches. These pattern defects are thought to be caused by loss of proper expressions of patterning-related genes. This study shows that hyperinnervation surgery resulted in the induction of a branching regenerate. The hyperinnervated blastema allows the identification and functional analysis of the molecules controlling this patterning of limb regeneration. This paper focuses on the nerve affects to improveXenopuslimb patterning ability during regeneration. The nerve molecules, which regulate limb patterning, were also investigated. Blastemas grown in a hyperinnervated forelimb upregulate limb patterning-related genes (shh, lmx1b,andhoxa13). Nerves projecting their axons to limbs express some growth factors (bmp7, fgf2, fgf8,andshh). Inputs of these factors to a blastema upregulated some limb patterning-related genes and resulted in changes in the cartilage patterns in the regenerates. These results indicate that additional nerve factors enhanceXenopuslimb patterning-related gene expressions and limb regeneration ability, and thatbmp, fgf,andshhare candidate nerve substitute factors.
