Taste buds are multicellular receptor organs innervated by the VIIth, IXth, and Xth cranial nerves. In most vertebrates, taste buds differentiate after nerve fibers have reached the lingual epithelium, suggesting that nerves induce taste buds. However, under experimental conditions, taste buds of amphibians develop independently of innervation. Thus, rather than being induced by nerves, the developing taste periphery likely regulates ingrowing nerve fibers. To test this idea, we devised a culture approach using axolotl embryos. Gustatory neurons were generated from cultured epibranchial placodes, and when cultured alone, axon outgrowth was random over 4 days, a time period coincident with axon growth to the periphery in vivo. In contrast, cocultures of placodal neurons with oropharyngeal endoderm (OPE), the normal taste bud-containing target for these neurons, resulted in neurite growth toward the target tissue. Unexpectedly, placodal neurons also grew toward flank ectoderm (FE), which these neurons do not encounter in vivo. To compare further the impact of OPE and FE explants on gustatory neurons, cocultures were extended and examined at 6, 8, and 10 days, when, in vivo, placodal fibers have innervated the epithelium but prior to taste bud formation, when taste buds have differentiated and are innervated, and when the mouth has opened and larvae have begun to feed, respectively. The behavior of placodal axons with respect to target type did not differ between OPE and FE cocultures at 6 days. However, by 8 days, differences in axonal outgrowth were observed with respect to target type, and these differences were enhanced by 10 days in vitro. Most clearly, exuberant placodal fibers grew in 10-day OPE cocultures, and numerous neurites had invaded OPE explants by this time, whereas gustatory neurites were sparse in FE cocultures, and rarely approached and almost never contacted FE explants. Thus, embryonic endoderm destined to give rise to taste buds specifically attracts its innervation early in development, as placodal neurons send out axons. Later, when gustatory axons synapse with differentiated taste buds in vivo, the OPE provides trophic support for cultured gustatory neurons.
