| Research Abstract |
During gastrulation, mesodermal cells migrate individually to become five lineage: axial, paraxial, intermediate, lateral and extraembryonic mesoderm. However, the precise cellular mechanism by which mesodermal cells migrate directionally toward their destination remained elusive. By in vivo imaging and tracking analysis with the gastrulating chicken embryo, we investigated the mode of cell movement and the positional relationship between nucleus and Golgi apparatus during migration. From this observation, we found that mesoderm cells move randomly and freely and show “nucleus front-Golgi back” polarity after they leave from the primitive streak. The perturbation of Golgi organization during migration resulted in the impaired movement of cells, suggesting that this front-back polarity is essential for mesoderm migration.
