The forebrain develops into the telencephalon, diencephalon, and optic vesicle (OV). The OV further develops into the optic cup, the inner and outer layers of which develop into the neural retina and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), respectively. We studied the change in fate of the OV by using embryonic transplantation and explant culture methods. OVs excised from 10‐somite stage chick embryos were freed from surrounding tissues (the surface ectoderm and mesenchyme) and were transplanted back to their original position in host embryos. Expression of neural retina‐specific genes, such asRaxandVsx2(Chx10), was downregulated in the transplants. Instead, expression of the telencephalon‐specific geneEmx1emerged in the proximal region of the transplants, and in the distal part of the transplants close to the epidermis, expression of an RPE‐specific geneMitfwas observed. Explant culture studies showed that when OVs were cultured alone,Raxwas continuously expressed regardless of surrounding tissues (mesenchyme and epidermis). When OVs without surrounding tissues were cultured in close contact with the anterior forebrain,Raxexpression became downregulated in the explants, andEmx1expression became upregulated. These findings indicate that chick OVs at stage 10 are bi‐potential with respect to their developmental fates, either for the neural retina or for the telencephalon, and that the surrounding tissues have a pivotal role in their actual fates. An in vitro tissue culture model suggests that under the influence of the anterior forebrain and/or its surrounding tissues, the OV changes its fate from the retina to the telencephalon.
