在许多脊椎动物物种中,视锥细胞通过未知的机制组装成几何规则的马赛克。光感受器嵌合体的形成和维持被推测需要差异细胞-细胞粘附。然而,这一理论的分子基础尚未确定。视网膜和许多其他组织表达Crumbs(Crb)极性蛋白。Crb蛋白胞外结构域的功能仍有待了解。在这里,我们报告的crb 2a和crb 2b基因的细胞类型特异性表达的细胞膜的感光细胞内节和米勒细胞顶端的过程中,斑马鱼视网膜。我们证明Crb 2a和Crb 2b的胞外结构域介导细胞-细胞粘附功能,其在维持光感受器层和视锥嵌合体的完整性中起重要作用。由于Crb蛋白在许多类型的上皮中表达,因此基于Crb的细胞-细胞粘附也可能是其他上皮来源组织中的细胞模式的基础。
Cone photoreceptors are assembled by unknown mechanisms into geometrically regular mosaics in many vertebrate species. The formation and maintenance of photoreceptor mosaics are speculated to require differential cell-cell adhesion. However, the molecular basis for this theory has yet to be identified. The retina and many other tissues express Crumbs (Crb) polarity proteins. The functions of the extracellular domains of Crb proteins remain to be understood. Here we report cell-type specific expression of the crb2a and crb2b genes at the cell membranes of photoreceptor inner segments and Müller cell apical processes in the zebrafish retina. We demonstrate that the extracellular domains of Crb2a and Crb2b mediate a cell-cell adhesion function, which plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of photoreceptor layer and cone mosaics. Because Crb proteins are expressed in many types of epithelia, the Crb-based cell-cell adhesion may underlie cellular patterning in other epithelium-derived tissues as well.
