Figure 11.9. Formation of the two-layered
blastoderm of the chick embryo.
(A, B) Primary hypoblast cells delaminate
individually to form islands of cells
beneath the epiblast.
(C) Secondary hypoblast cells from the
posterior margin (Koller's sickle and the
posterior marginal cells behind it) migrate
beneath the epiblast and incorporate the
polyinvagination islands. As the hypoblast
moves anteriorly, epiblast cells collect at
the region anterior to Koller's sickle to
form the primitive streak.
(D) This sagittal section of an embryo
near the posterior margin shows an upper
layer consisting of a central epiblast that
trails into the cells of Koller's sickle (ks)
and the posterior marginal zone (mz).
Certain cells have delaminated from the
epiblast (ep) to form polyinvagination
islands (pi) of 5 to 20 cells each. These
cells will be joined by those hypoblast
cells (hyp) migrating anteriorly from
Koller's sickle to form the lower
(secondary hypoblastic) layer. (sc,

Figure 1. Hypoblast and Endoblast in Early Chick Embryos
Scheme of early stages of development.
At stage X the embryo is essentially one-layer thick, except for small islands of hypoblast (blue) at
its ventral surface.
At stage XII, the hypoblast has formed a sheet that covers half of the area pellucida and, by stage
XIII, covers the entiresurface.
The primitive streak (brown) appears at stage 2, when the hypoblast has started to become
displaced anteriorly by the endoblast (white).
Green, area opaca; red, marginal zone; yellow, area pellucida epiblast.

ПП появляется на ст. 2 в задней трети area pellucida в виде образования
треугольной формы.
Изменение ПП состоит из трех главных компонентов:
- прогрессия или быстрое удлинение ПП вдоль переднезадней оси (макс длина
1,8 мм на ст. 4);
-параллельно с удлинением начинается и происходит ингрессия
презумптивных клеток энтодермы и мезодермы через ПП;
- регрессия или постепенное укорочение и окончательное преобразование
остатков ПП в почку хвоста.

mesodermal mantle (m) are viewed en face after removal of the endodermal layer. The embryo is at the stage illustrated in
FIGURE 2E. The basal surface of the epiblast is partially visible (ep). The caudal end of the embryo is at the bottom,
midline of the figure. The arrow in part A indicates the level of the slice shown in part B. Terms: ao, yolk-ladened cells of
the area opaca. (B) Scanning electron micrograph of a transverse slice through the blastoderm at the stage illustrated in

Terms: ep, epiblast; e, endoderm; m, mesoderm. (C) Niagara Falls as shown in a 1956 photograph taken by one of the
author’s parents on a family vacation. With the exception of the prospective notochordal cells contained within Hensen’s
node, the movement of cells toward, into, and away from the primitive streak occurs in a manner similar to that of water
going toward and over the falls, and then flowing downstream. Thus, a constant turnover of cells occurs throughout most
of the primitive streak.

Figure 1
Cellular aspects of EMT. (i) Normal epithelial cells contain adherens junctions composed of E-cadherin together with catenins and
actin rings. Tight junctions are associated with apical polarity complexes, while integrins interact with components of the basal
membrane. (ii) Loss of cell-cell adhesion. EMT inducers repress the transcription of the genes encoding the components of both
adherens and tight junctions, inducing the loss of cell polarity. E-cadherin is internalized and targeted for degradation. (iii)
Breakdown of the basal membrane and apical constriction. Profound cytoskeletal remodeling will favor cell delamination by
inducing apical constriction and disorganization of the basal membrane. (iv) Cell delamination and invasion. Expression of integrin
receptors and continued activation of metalloproteases favors migration through the extracellular matrix and invasion of adjacent
tissues.

Primary EMTs give rise to progenitors of many organs and tissues. (A) Epiblast cells that

c: SEM of a transverse slice through the primitive streakforming area of a stage XIV chick embryo. Note the increased
thickness of the epiblast (E) in the midline. Arrows point to cells between the epiblast and the epithelialized hypoblast (H)
layers; these cells are probably non-epithelialized hypoblast cells not yet integrated into the hypoblast. Scale bar 5 100 mm.

the ventral (basal) surface of the epiblast (E) and the initial primitive streak (PS), which
has a triangular shape. Scale bar 5 60 mm.
b: Enlargement of the primitive streak (PS). A basal lamina is absent ventral to the
primitive streak cells, allowing the identification of individual cells. Scale bar 5 100 mm.

b: Stage 2. Labeling of the ventral surface of the initial primitive streak is patchy. Arrows point to gaps
in labeling.
c: Stage 3a/b. As the primitive streak elongates, its entire ventral surface becomes devoid of label.
Arrow points to the junction between epiblast and primitive streak on one side. Note that the ventral
side of the epiblast is labeled in contrast to the ventral side of the primitive streak.

Fig. 10 Avian gastrulation begins with formation of the primitive
streak (ps, A, B). Two mechanisms have been suggested for extension
or progression of the primitive streak: convergence and extension
of a region of the epiblast overlying the anterior part of Koller’s
sickle (ks; A; Lawson and Schoenwolf, 2001a, b), and oriented
cell division (B; Wei and Mikawa, 2001). Gastrulation occurs as
presumptive endodermal and mesodermal cells of the epiblast undergo
an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the primitive
streak, ingress, and insert into the hypoblast to form the endoderm
(yellow) or move laterally to form the mesoderm (arrows, .1, C).
At the anterior end of the primitive streak is a thickened region,
Hensen’s node (.2, C). The midline of the neural tissue and the
underlying notochord extend anteriorly from Hensen’s node, as
these structures undergo coordinate convergence and extension
(double-headed, black arrows, C) and cells are added posteriorly
(white arrows, C). Coordinate with this extension, the node regresses
or moves posteriorly (large black arrow, C), replacing the
primitive streak with neural tissue and notochord. Hensen’s node
is site of many complex behaviors, some of which are not yet
characterized.
It has a generative zone (blue, D), which feeds cells
anteriorly into the notochord (white arrows, D). There these cells
undergo mediolateral cell intercalation (white arrows). Finally, in
the notochord, the cells undergo cell division oriented preferentially
in the anterior-posterior axis (small black arrows, D). Lastly,
and perhaps most mysteriously, there is a region at the posterior
of the node (green, D) that is necessary for the movement of the
node posteriorly. Similar processes shown in D for the extension
of the mesoderm apply to the midline neural tissue.

их медиолатеральное положение в
мезодермальной мантии после ингрессии:

мозга до 17 сомита) образуется за счет
ингрессии через ГУ (до 17 сомита), задняя часть

через боковые стороны ПП;

Hensen’s node, from a fluorescently

homotopically and isochronically in place
of the unlabeled Hensen’s node of the
host.

FIGURE 4. Fate mapping by following fluorescent dyes microinjected into the primitive streak (ps). (A) Two hours after injection of
dye into the cranial one-third of the primitive streak (caudal to Hensen’s node; hn), cells are beginning to migrate bilaterally. The
caudal end of the embryo is at the bottom, midline of the figure. (B) At sacrifice 24 hours after injection, labeled cells have
migrated bilaterally, populating the paraxial mesoderm of the trunk and subsequently forming the somites (s) flanking the neural
tube (nt). (C) Whole mount at a stage similar to that shown in part B to demonstrate better the anatomy of the embryo at the time
of sacrifice.

(A) Diagram of the posterior end of an early (pre-streak) embryo, showing the cells labeled with fluorescent dyes
in the photographs. (B) Just before gastrulation, cells in the anterior end of Koller's sickle (the epiblast and middle
layer) were labeled with green dye. Cells of the posterior portion of Koller's sickle were labeled with red dye. As
the cells migrate, the anterior cells formed Hensen's node and its notochord derivatives. The posterior cells
formed the posterior region of the primitive streak. The time after dye injection is labeled on each photograph.

Figure 11.14. Regulation
of the chick blastoderm.
When the blastoderm is
divided into four parts,
each part can initiate
gastrulation and give rise
to an embryo. Usually, only
the cells of the posterior
marginal zone are able to
form a primitive streak,
and they inhibit other
areas of the marginal zone
from doing so. (After Spratt
and Haas 1960).
