“Directional ciliary beats across epithelia require Ccdc57-mediated coupling between axonemal orientation and basal body polarity"

“通過上皮的定向纖毛搏動需要ccdc57介導(dǎo)的軸突取向和基體極性之間的耦合"

Abstract：

Motile cilia unify their axonemal orientations (AOs), or beat directions, across epithelia to drive liquid flows. This planar polarity results from cytoskeleton-driven swiveling of basal foot (BF), a basal body (BB) appendage coincident with the AO, in response to regulatory cues. How and when the BF-AO relationship is established, however, are unaddressed. Here, we show that the BF-AO coupling occurs during rotational polarizations of BBs and requires Ccdc57. Ccdc57 localizes on BBs as a rotationally-asymmetric punctum, which polarizes away from the BF in BBs having achieved the rotational polarity to probably fix the BF-AO relationship. Consistently, Ccdc57-deficient ependymal multicilia lack the BF-AO coupling and display directional beats at only single cell level. Ccdc57?^?/? tracheal multicilia also fail to fully align their BFs. Furthermore, Ccdc57?^?/? mice manifest severe hydrocephalus, due to impaired cerebrospinal fluid flow, and high mortality. These findings unravel mechanisms governing the planar polarity of epithelial motile cilia.

摘要：

運動纖毛統(tǒng)一其軸突方向（AOs），或拍打方向，跨越上皮驅(qū)動液體流動。這種平面極性是由細(xì)胞骨架驅(qū)動的基底足（BF）的旋轉(zhuǎn)引起的，基底足（BB）是與AO一致的附屬物，是對調(diào)節(jié)信號的響應(yīng)。然而，如何以及何時建立BF-AO關(guān)系尚未得到解決。在這里，我們證明了BF-AO耦合發(fā)生在BBs的旋轉(zhuǎn)極化過程中，并且需要Ccdc57。Ccdc57在BBs上定位為一個旋轉(zhuǎn)不對稱的點，它在BBs中遠(yuǎn)離BF極化，實現(xiàn)了旋轉(zhuǎn)極性，可能是為了固定BF- ao關(guān)系。同樣，ccdc57缺陷的室管膜多毛缺乏BF-AO耦合，僅在單細(xì)胞水平上顯示定向搏動。Ccdc57 - / -氣管多毛也不能對準(zhǔn)它們的BFs。此外，由于腦脊液流動受損，Ccdc57 - / -小鼠表現(xiàn)出嚴(yán)重的腦積水和高死亡率。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)揭示了控制上皮運動纖毛平面極性的機(jī)制。
