Two molecular models of initial left - right asymmetry generation. of special interest Med Hyp. 1997; The authors present two speculative models to explain how the asymmetric expression of certain genes is initiated in the process of L - R patterning in vertebrates. These hypotheses are based on experimental data suggesting two independent molecules as candidates for the primary steps of L - R determination: a dynein-like motor protein may transport a chiral determinant to one side of the cell, establishing a distinction between the right and the left sides. This cell asymmetry may then be used to establish broad cell fields of differential gene expression by a gap junction protein with asymmetric activity.

Control of vertebrate left-right asymmetry by a Snail-related zinc finger gene. of outstanding interest Science. 275:1997;1301-1304 This paper reports the identification of a new molecular component of the L - R handedness pathway in chick that appears to participate in regulating heart looping. The chick Snail-related gene (cSnr) is expressed on the right side of the lateral plate mesoderm, opposite to the nodal expression domain. Onset and persistence of expression is slightly delayed temporally with respect to nodal. Alteration of cSnR using antisense oligonucleotides is associated with randomization of the direction of heart looping. cSnR is most likely downstream of nodal.

Relationship between asymmetric nodal expression and the direction of embryonic turning. of outstanding interest Nature. 381:1996;155-158 This paper describes genes involved in the pathway determining the L - R body axis in the developing mouse embryo. Nodal is expressed asymmetrically on the left side of the node and in the lateral plate mesoderm at early somite stages. Its expression pattern is perturbed in invlinv mutant embryos in which body situs is reversed, indicating a strong correlation between the sidedness of nodal expression and the direction of heart looping and axial rotation. Experiments uncover a genetic interaction between nodal and the transcription factor HNF3β as embryos heterozygous for both genes show marked alterations of the nodal expression domain that are associated with ambiguities in embryonic body situs in later development.

Lefty is expressed transiently on the left side of the prospective floor plate and the lateral mesoderm with a timing similar to that described for nodal, prior to the first morphological sign of asymmetry in the embryo ([11,12). Asymmetric expression of lefty is altered in the two situs inversus mouse mutants, iv and inv.

Left - right asymmetric localization of flectin in the extracellular matrix during heart looping. of outstanding interest Dev Biol. 173:1996;39-50 An extracellular matrix protein named Flectin is shown to be expressed asymmetrically on the left side of the heart-forming region of the developing chick embryo. This molecule seems to be regulated by RA and is expressed on the reverse side of the body in embryos showing spontaneous inversion in the heart looping, implying a functional relationship with cardiac looping.

Retinoic acid directs cardiac laterality and the expression of early markers of precardiac asymmetry. of special interest Dev Biol. 182:1997;162-171 Two extracellular matrix proteins expressed asymmetrically in precardiac fields and which appear to be linked with subsequent heart looping in the chick embryo have been identified. hLAMP-1 expression predominates on the left side of the precardiac populations, whereas JB3, a fibrillin-associated protein, is expressed more strongly within the right precardiac region at stage 5. Moreover, their sided expression is altered by retinoic acid treatment and correlates with a randomization in the direction of heart looping.

Role of notochord in specification of cardiac left - right orientation in zebrafish and Xenopus. of outstanding interest Dev Biol. 177:1996;96-103 This paper shows that L - R cardiac orientation is dependent on dorso-anterior structures including notochord and is specified during neurulation stages in Xenopus laevis. Zebrafish no tail and floating head mutants with defective notochord development also have randomized cardiac L - R asymmetry.

The authors propose that endogenous Vg1, a maternal gene, is differentially regulated on the left and right sides of blastula and is part of the molecular pathway for L - R development.

Left - right asymmetry of a nodal-related gene is regulated by dorsoanterior midline structures during Xenopus development. of outstanding interest Development. 124:1997;1465-1472 This paper shows that Xnr-1 expression is altered by treatments that disrupt dorso-anterior development and that are known to perturb normal L - R development in Xenopus. In addition, cultured explants of lateral plate mesoderm derived from both sides of the body express Xnr-1, suggesting that Xnr-1 expression may normally be repressed on the right side by dorso-anterior midline cells.
