Abstract
Ventralization, a major patterning process in the developing vertebrate neural tube (central nervous system, CNS), depends on Sonic hedgehog (SHH) as a main signaling morphogen. We studied the CNS of late larval and young adult zebrafish in a transgenic shh-GFP line revealing increased neuroanatomical detail due to the progressed differentiation state compared to earlier stages. Some major findings emerge from the present study. (1) shh -GFP is still expressed along the adult zebrafish CNS neuraxis in most locations seen in larvae. (2) We newly identify a ventroposterior shh pallidal domain representing the basal telencephalic signaling center important for basal ganglia development known in other vertebrates (i.e. the anterior entopeduncular area - basal medial ganglionic eminence of mammals). (3) We further show late emerging shh-GFP positive radial glia cells in the medial zone of the dorsal telencephalon (i.e. the teleostan pallial amygdala). (4) Immunostains with tyrosine hydroxylase demonstrate that there is selective co-localization in adult dopamine cells with shh-GFP in the posterior tuberculum, including in projection cells to striatum, which represents a striking parallel to amniote mesodiencephalic dopamine cell origin from shh expressing floor plate cells. (5) There is no co-localization of shh and islet1 as shown by respective shh-GFP and islet1-GFP lines. (6) The only radially far migrated shh-GFP cells are located in the preglomerular area. (7) There are no adult cerebellar and tectal shh-GFP cells confirming their exclusive role during early development as previously reported by our laboratory. This article is protected by copyright.
