Single-cell RNA analysis identifies pre-migratory neural crest cells expressing markers of differentiated derivatives

eLife, 2021
The neural crest is a migratory population of stem-like cells that contribute to multiple traits including the bones of the skull, peripheral nervous system, and pigment.

Pigment-Aggregating Action of Endothelins on Medaka Xanthophores [PDF]

Zoological Science, 2000
Abstract Mammalian endothelins (ETs) -1, -2 and -3 effectively aggregated pigmentary organelles in xanthophores of the medaka, Oryzias latipes. IRL 1620 and sarafotoxin S6c, both being selective agonists of the mammalian ETB receptor, were also found to aggregate xanthosomes in those cells.

Sox5 functions as a fate switch in medaka pigment cell development.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are crucial for normal development. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to numerous cell-types, including pigment cells.

Global tissue transcriptomic analysis to improve genome annotation and unravel skin pigmentation in goldfish

Scientific Reports, 2021
Goldfish is an ornamental fish with diverse phenotypes. However, the limited genomic resources of goldfish hamper our understanding of the genetic basis for its phenotypic diversity.

Heterotypic interactions regulate cell shape and density during color pattern formation in zebrafish

Biology Open, 2016
The conspicuous striped coloration of zebrafish is produced by cell-cell interactions among three different types of chromatophores: black melanophores, orange/yellow xanthophores and silvery/blue iridophores.

Genetic and correlative light and electron microscopy evidence for the unique differentiation pathway of erythrophores in brown trout skin

Scientific Reports, 2022
Based on their cell ultrastructure, two types of erythrophores in the spotted skin regions of brown trout (Salmo trutta) were previously described. To test the hypothesis regarding the origin of a new cell type following genome duplication, we analysed ...

Thyroid hormone regulates distinct paths to maturation in pigment cell lineages

eLife, 2019
Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment cells of the adult stripe pattern, limiting melanophore population expansion, yet

Leucophores are similar to xanthophores in their specification and differentiation processes in medaka [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Body color plays an important role in the diversity and speciation of vertebrates. In this paper, we revealed that three loci in medaka, leucophore free ( lf ), lf-2 , and white leucophore , which affect leucophores and ...
