摘要

The extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides essential physical scaffolding for cellular constituents but also initiates crucial biochemical and biomechanical cues that are required for tissue morphogenesis. In this study, we utilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining to characterize the ECM architecture in ascidian embryos and larvae. The results showed three distinct populations of ECM presenting in?Ciona?embryogenesis: the outer layer localized at the surface of embryo, an inner layer of notochord sheath and the apical ECM secreted by the notochord. To further elucidate the precise structure of?Ciona?embryonic ECM, we employed scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and found that the outer membrane was relatively thick with short fibres, whereas the ECM layer in notochord sheath was not as thick as the outer membrane but more regular arranged; the lumen between notochord cells was hydrostatic and sticky. Then, we used the RNA sequencing data from the embryos and larvae of?Ciona savignyi?to identify ECM genes and acquire their expression patterns. We identified 115 unigenes as 67 ECM genes, and 77 unigenes showed dynamic expression changes between different stages. Our results reveal the architecture, molecular composition and dynamic expression profile of ECM in ascidian embryogenesis, and may increase understanding of the function of the ECM in chordate development.
