脊椎动物胚胎中心脏的发育是一个复杂的过程,在这个过程中,随着腔室的形成,瓣膜的塑造和与发育中的血管系统的连接的建立,器官不断重塑。调查驱动这些变化的遗传程序以及可能影响它们的环境因素对于我们理解先天性心脏病至关重要。在这项工作中经常出现的挑战是如何整合心脏基因功能和调节的研究,以及对心脏组织之间局部相互作用的认识,更不用说两者都可能受到心脏功能本身影响的方式。为了应对这一挑战,需要一种准确的方法来分析发育中心脏的3D形态变化,这些变化可能是迅速的或长期的,结果可能是戏剧性的或微妙的。在这里,我们回顾了使用高分辨率episcopic显微镜作为一种简单而有效的手段来检查器官结构,并允许现代计算机方法开创的临床成像应用于胚胎心脏。
Development of the heart in vertebrate embryos is a complex process in which the organ is continually remodelled as chambers are formed, valves sculpted and connections established to the developing vascular system. Investigating the genetic programmes driving these changes and the environmental factors that may influence them is critical for our understanding of congenital heart disease. A recurrent challenge in this work is how to integrate studies as diverse as those of cardiac gene function and regulation with an appreciation of the localised interactions between cardiac tissues not to mention the manner in which both may be affected by cardiac function itself. Meeting this challenge requires an accurate way to analyse the changes in 3D morphology of the developing heart, which can be swift or protracted and both dramatic or subtle in consequence. Here we review the use of high-resolution episcopic microscopy as a simple and effective means to examine organ structure and one that allows modern computing methods pioneered by clinical imaging to be applied to the embryonic heart.
