A changing signaling environment induces multiciliated cell trans-differentiation during developmental remodeling
2020-04-18
Abstract excerpt
Multiciliated cells (MCCs) are extremely highly-differentiated, presenting >100 cilia and basal bodies. We analyzed how MCCs are lost from the airway-like Xenopus embryonic epidermis during developmental tissue remodeling. We found that some MCCs undergo apoptosis, but that the majority trans-differentiate into secretory cells. Trans-differentiation involves loss of ciliary gene expression, cilia retraction and l...
