RESUMO

The polar trophoblast overlays the epiblast in eutherian mammals and, depending on the species, has one of two different fates. It either remains a single-layered, thinning epithelium called "Rauber's layer," which soon disintegrates, or, alternatively, it keeps proliferating, contributing heavily to the population of differentiating, invasive trophoblast cells and, at least in mice, to the induction of gastrulation. While loss of the persistent polar trophoblast in mice leads to reduced induction of gastrulation, we show here that prevention of the loss of the polar trophoblast in cattle results in ectopic domains of the gastrulation marker, BRACHYURY This phenotype, and increased epiblast proliferation, arose when Rauber's layer was maintained for a day longer by countering apoptosis through BCL2 overexpression. This suggests that the disappearance of Rauber's layer is a necessity, presumably to avoid excessive signaling interactions between this layer and the subjacent epiblast. We note that, in all species in which the polar trophoblast persists, including humans and mice, ectopic polar trophoblast signaling is prevented via epiblast cavitation which leads to the (pro)amniotic cavity, whose function is to distance the central epiblast from such signaling interactions.

RESUMO

Using embryological data from 14 mammalian orders, the hypothesis is presented that in placental mammals, epiblast cavitation and polar trophoblast loss are alternative developmental solutions to shield the central epiblast from extraembryonic signalling. It is argued that such reciprocal signalling between the edge of the epiblast and the adjoining polar trophoblast or edge of the mural trophoblast or with the amniotic ectoderm is necessary for the induction of gastrulation. This article is part of the theme issue 'Extraembryonic tissues: exploring concepts, definitions and functions across the animal kingdom'.

RESUMO

The epiblast of the amniote embryo is of paramount importance during early development as it gives rise to all tissues of the embryo proper. In mammals, it emerges through segregation of the hypoblast from the inner cell mass and subsequently undergoes transformation into an epithelial sheet to create the embryonic disc. In rodents and man, the epiblast cell layer is covered by the polar trophoblast which forms the placenta. In mammalian model organisms (rabbit, pig, several non-human primates), however, the placenta is formed by mural trophoblast whereas the polar trophoblast disintegrates prior to gastrulation and thus exposes the epiblast to the microenvironment of the uterine cavity. Both, polar trophoblast disintegration and epiblast epithelialization, thus pose special cell-biological requirements but these are still rather ill-understood when compared to those of gastrulation morphogenesis. This study therefore applied high-resolution light and transmission electron microscopy and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction to 8- to 10-days-old pig embryos and defines the following steps of epiblast transformation: (1) rosette formation in the center of the ball-shaped epiblast, (2) extracellular cavity formation in the rosette center, (3) epiblast segregation into two subpopulations - addressed here as dorsal and ventral epiblast - separated by a "pro-amniotic" cavity. Ventral epiblast cells form between them a special type of desmosomes with a characteristic dense felt of microfilaments and are destined to generate the definitive epiblast. The dorsal epiblast remains a mass of non-polarized cells and closely associates with the disintegrating polar trophoblast, which shows morphological features of both apoptosis and autophagocytosis. Morphogenesis of the definitive epiblast in the pig may thus exclude a large portion of bona fide epiblast cells from contributing to the embryo proper and establishes contact de novo with the mural trophoblast at the junction between the two newly defined epiblast cell populations.

RESUMO

Ultrastructural changes of the inner cell mass (ICM) in rabbit blastocysts from 4 to 7 days post coitum (p.c.) were observed with transmission electron microscope. It revealed that ICM of blastocyst on day 5 p.c. began to differentiate after they were arranged into a single layer, and under which the primitive endoderm appeared. It is suggested that the primitive endodermal cells in rabbit blastocysts are derived from the scattered ICM-like cells at the inner surface of the mural trophoblast rather than delaminated from ICM proper. In this paper, disruption and disappearance of polar trophoblast are described and discussed.
