Influences underlying the direction of nematocyte migration in hydra were studied. Nematocytes arise by interstitial cell differentiation in the body column, and then up to 80% migrate into the ectodermal epithelial cells of the tentacles. The migration of these cells, which is clearly apically directed, may be due either to a chemotactic attraction into the hypostome and tentacles, or to a property inherent in the tissue of the body column, such as the regeneration polarity. To distinguish between these two possibilities, the rates of accumulation of3H-proline-labeled desmoneme and stenotele nematocytes in unlabeled heads (hypostome and tentacles) grafted either basally or apically to the labeled body column were compared. Basally grafted heads, if left in place for an appropriate length of time, reversed the regeneration polarity of the tissue. In all experiments the direction of desmoneme migration was correlated with the direction (apical or basal) of the regeneration polarity of the tissue. Further, the kinetics of polarity reversal were modified by varying the grafting procedure or the environmental conditions. In every case the kinetics of reversal of desmoneme migration also paralleled the kinetics of reversal of tissue polarity. The results suggest that the direction of desmoneme migration is influenced by the regeneration polarity of the tissue. Stenotele migration was largely unaffected by tissue polarity, but behaved as though chemotactically attracted to the head.
