- Аннотация: At the polyp stage, most hydrozoan cnidarians form highly elaborate colonies with a variety of branching patterns, which makes them excellent models for studying the evolutionary mechanisms of body plan diversification. At the same time, molecular mechanisms underlying the robust patterning of the architecturally complex hydrozoan colonies remain unexplored. Using non-model hydrozoan Dynamena pumila we showed that the key components of the Wnt/β-catenin (cWnt) pathway (β-catenin, TCF) and the cWnt-responsive gene, brachyury 2, are involved in specification and patterning of the developing colony shoots. Strikingly, pharmacological modulation of the cWnt pathway leads to radical modification of the monopodially branching colony of Dynamena which acquire branching patterns typical for colonies of other hydrozoan species. Our results suggest that modulation of the cWnt signaling to be the driving force promoting the evolution of the vast variety of the body plans in hydrozoan colonies and offer an intriguing possibility that the involvement of the cWnt pathway in the regulation of branching morphogenesis might represent an ancestral feature predating the cnidarian-bilaterian split.
