Shaping mammalian tissues with light : optogenetic control of apical constriction

During embryonic development, cellular forces synchronize in space and time to generate functional tissue shapes. Apical constriction is a force-generating process necessary to provoke the folding of multiple organ primordia during early development. In this thesis, we used a synthetic biology appro...

La constricción apical es un proceso que provoca el plegamiento de órganos primitivos durante el desarrollo temprano. En esta tesis, hemos usado la biología sintética para controlar la constricción apical, manipular la morfogénesis y entenderla mejor. Hemos desarrollado “OptoShroom3”, un sistema optogenético que permite un rápido control espaciotemporal de la constricción apical en epitelios mamíferos. Hemos usado OptoShroom3 para manipular tejidos 3D, usando la luz para provocar plegamientos y alterar la forma de organoides neurales. Hemos estudiado el plegado de los tejidos epiteliales con dos proteínas diferentes (Shroom3 y Lulu2), observando que la forma original condiciona la dirección del plegado. Este trabajo impulsa el uso de fuerzas biológicas para manipular la forma de los tejidos. Esperamos que el control espaciotemporal de la morfogénesis promueva el estudio de las interacciones entre forma, función y diferenciación.Programa de doctorat en BiomedicinaUniversitat Pompeu FabraEbisuya, MikiUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.
