Hindbrain premigratory neural crest cells may be sufficient to generate neural tube expansion under lumen pres- sure (A) Bright-field images of pre-brain-expansion stage embryos with spinal cord-to-spinal cord graft and a hindbrain-to-spinal cord graft. (B and C) Confocal images showing dorsal surface of graft integration ∼20 h post-grafting and cross- sectional views at the levels corresponding to dashed lines in (B). White bracket highlights the thinned-out roof in the graft region. (D) Spinal cord tissue thickness in the region with spinal cord (n = 2) or hindbrain (n = 9) grafted cells. (E) Confocal images showing Snail2+ cells in graft regions. Arrows indicate Snail2+ cells within the GFP+ graft. (F) Model of brain expansion relative to the spinal cord. A greater extent of premigratory neural crest cell mesenchymal behavior and corresponding ECM remodeling underlies a more deformable dorsal roof in the early hindbrain compared with the spinal cord. This allows the hindbrain roof to deform more under internal lumen pressure, driving hindbrain expansion relative to the spinal cord during early embryo development. Black scale bars are 500 μm. White scale bars are 25 μm unless otherwise stated. See also Figure S4.
