Loss of the Reissner Fiber and increased URP neuropeptide signaling underlie scoliosis in a zebrafish ciliopathy mutant
2019-12-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Cilia-driven movements of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are involved in zebrafish axis straightness, both in embryos and juveniles [1, 2]. In embryos, axis straightness requires cilia-dependent assembly of the Reissner fiber (RF), a SCO-spondin polymer running down the brain and spinal cord CSF-filled cavities [3]. Reduced expression levels of the urp1 and urp2 genes encoding neuropeptides of t...
