in pbx(RNAi) animals, small blastemas form, but they fail to specify head or tail identity and also do not acquire a midline (Blassberg et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2013; Scimone et al., 2014). We thank our reviewers for helpful comments. Although this abundance of pluripotent stem cells in adult tissues may seem highly exotic by comparison with more familiar stem cell systems, the comparatively recent discovery of piwi-expressing (likely) somatic stem cells in a broad range of animals (Lai and Aboobaker, 2018) indicates that planarian neoblasts may not be so exotic after all, and that they may represent one end of a continuum of stem cell architectures in animal phylogeny (Rink, 2018). Explain the ways in which cells communicate with each other. Guest editors: Florent Ginhoux and Paul Martin Answers vary; the goal is for students to provide plausible models. © Copyright 2021 by the Regents of the University of California. How can planarians establish centimetre-length signalling gradients, given that free diffusion is an unlikely signal propagation mechanism at such length scales? I also taught this course using a flipped approach, and the in-class activities primarily involved creating models to explain molecular mechanisms. The regeneration of the planarian Girardia tigrina was evaluated over different oxidative conditions, as pro oxidant (H 2 O 2), antioxidant (vitamin C) and using aloe gel. Planarians retain an abundance of adult pluripotent stem cells, or neoblasts, and it is these cells that scientists think hold the key to regeneration. bicoid or nanos in Drosophila zygotes) and, more generally, the ‘traditional’ textbook manifestation of the morphogen gradient concept with the source as a pre-specified cell fate as organizing principles. was supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek; NWO) via the FOM program no. More recently, organism-wide single-cell sequencing atlases have been developed (Fincher et al., 2018; Plass et al., 2018). Self-organizing Turing or similar reaction-diffusion patterns are conceptually very attractive in this sense, as they can account both for spontaneous pattern emergence and pattern regeneration (Gierer and Meinhardt, 1972; Turing, 1952). Schematic (top) and microscopic images (bottom) of the major planarian organ systems. In terms of Morgan's classic terminology (Morgan, 1901), planarian regeneration therefore combines epimorphic aspects in the form of de novo tissue formation until ∼day 5 of regeneration, with the morphallactic remodelling of existing tissues occurring during the subsequent ∼9 days. Make any initial observations about the head fragments and each size of tail fragment and record them in the areas indicated on the data form or your notebook. This ability relies on a large number of pluripotent stem cells. On the other hand, laboratory exercises often show the visible results of phenomena without illustrating the underlying mechanisms at play. 5A, top) (Gurley et al., 2008; Iglesias et al., 2008; Petersen and Reddien, 2008). In the case of BMP4-mediated D-V patterning, the presumptive BMP signalling gradient has been shown to cause D-V gene expression zonation within neoblasts (Wurtzel et al., 2017). 2013; Vriz et al. Regeneration occurs in organisms like hydra, flatworms, tapeworms. Continual neoblast divisions and their resulting progeny continuously replace all differentiated cell types. Neoblasts – the adult stem cells of planarians (Baguñà, 2012) – reside in the mesenchyme that surrounds all internal organs. From this mass of cells, different cells undergo changes to become various cell types and tissues. (A) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Planarian Regeneration As described above, early investigators examined the seemingly limitless regenerative abilities of planarians. Consistent with these phenotypes, the respective signals are constitutively expressed in homeostatic animals. regeneration of the tail of a lizard. Others amongst the many hundreds of planarian species worldwide (see below) have anatomically restricted regenerative abilities (e.g. J. Baguñá, R. Romero, Quantitative analysis of cell types during growth, degrowth and regeneration in the planarians Dugesia mediterranea and Dugesia tigrina, The Biology of the Turbellaria, 10.1007/978-94-009-8668-8, (181-194), (1981). When an organism is wounded, its cells are activated and the damaged tissues and organs are remodelled back to the original state. Planarian regeneration involves new tissue production in blastemas (Figure 1A). Neoblasts are also crucial for the maintenance of planarian anatomy in the absence of wounding. Afterward, during lecture – which is taught in a flipped style so that students work in teams during the majority of the class time – we linked the lab exercise to life cycles by creating scientific models that explained variations from the “typical” animal life cycle that uses mitosis for growth and repair rather than for reproduction (see Khan Academy’s “Sexual Life Cycles” page for an example: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/cellular-molecular-biology/meiosis/a/sexual-life-cycles). The body pigments of planarians are produced and contained by a specialized, highly dendritic cell type located in the subepidermal parenchymal space. Note that the depicted signalling gradients are largely hypothetical extrapolations from the expression patterns of the respective genes, as only the canonical Wnt signalling gradient has been experimentally demonstrated so far (see text for details). About one-quarter of the students in the second course also took my section of the first course of the sequence and were separated across the teams. The Primer ends with a subjective outlook on how the study of planarians could help address broader questions about regenerative mechanisms and associated problems. Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank monoclonal antibodies (http://dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/; Forsthoefel et al., 2014; Ross et al., 2015). Neoblast divisions continue under starvation, but the basal division rate is insufficient to replace all cells and the animals consequently shrink owing to a net loss of cells (Baguñà, 1976a; Baguñà and Romero, 1981; González-Estévez et al., 2012; Thommen et al., 2019). Planarians are very interesting animals because of the fact that they can regenerate lost body parts which would be fatal for any other animal. All rights reserved. Queryable repository of flatworm sequence data, provides interactive tools for functional and comparative gene/transcript analyses. The three-layered body wall musculature in turn surrounds the mesenchyme like a shell and provides both mechanical stability and patterning information to the cells below (Scimone et al., 2017; Witchley et al., 2013). Red text denotes well-known (model) species representatives of specific groups. 2014). In conjunction with the tail-to-head Wnt signalling gradient, a neoblast situated in the high Wnt environment of the tail consequently expresses a different complement of transcription factors than do neoblasts located in the low Wnt environment of the head (Reuter et al., 2015). Footage was obtained each day on both amputated worms. Morgan made numerous theoretical and experimental contributions to the study of planarian regeneration. The exercise followed similar procedures and data observations as HHMI Biointeractive’s “Planaria Regeneration Activity” (http://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/activities/planaria/planaria_regen_activity.pdf). Pole cells become specified in the wound vicinity and congregate at the tip of the blastema by day 3 after amputation (Gurley et al., 2010; Hayashi et al., 2011; Oderberg et al., 2017; Scimone et al., 2014; Vásquez-Doorman and Petersen, 2014; Vogg et al., 2014). 10. 1B) and even thin, lateral slices that have to form the midline de novo are capable of restoring bilateral symmetry (Fig. no head regeneration in the posterior body half) or seemingly no regeneration at all (Brøndsted, 1969; Vila-Farré and Rink, 2018). In the first part, students write out which processes take place for stem cells to divide via mitosis (DNA replication) and for cells to differentiate (epidermal growth factors act as signaling molecules to trigger protein synthesis). Nonetheless, students applied concepts to a real scenario that they personally witnessed in lab to predict which molecular mechanisms are at work. One component problem of this challenge is to understand how pattern length scales are matched to tissue size dimensions. In addition, body shape and coloration display strong inter-species variation, as do the number and anatomical placement of eyes or other organ systems (Sluys and Riutort, 2018). Experimental Studies of the Regeneration of Planaria Maculata: Morgan, T H: 9781376225235: Books - Amazon.ca (A) Morphological consequences of experimentally perturbing Wnt signalling in intact worms (left) or in regenerating trunk pieces (right). Irrespective of whether we are considering limb regeneration in axolotls or whole-body regeneration in planarians or Hydra, the restoration of ‘whole’ from random pieces necessitates a latent ability of tissues to sense what's missing, i.e. 1: Pluripotent stem cells enable planarians to achieve extraordinary feats of regeneration. How scalable systems might achieve the necessary adjustment of reaction rates to system size remains an important problem not only in regeneration, but also in development (Aguilar-Hidalgo et al., 2018; Ben-Zvi et al., 2011; Werner et al., 2015). Intuitively we know that this must be true, because if repositioning would not happen, the stereotypic body plan of a planarian would have been long lost. In your response, include which aspects of the model are done well and which aspects need improvement and why. For example, Smed-bmp4 (which encodes a planarian BMP4 homologue), is expressed dorsally in a medio-laterally graded manner (Orii et al., 1998; Reddien et al., 2007). Planarians further display tremendous inter-species variations in body size, as illustrated by the giant ‘shoe-sole-sized’ planarians of Lake Baikal (Sluys et al., 1998) or the meter-long land planarians of Japan (Kawakatsu et al., 1982). However, it is known that pharmacologically induced ectopic heads permanently re-programme the polarity of adjacent tissues, as revealed by subsequent amputations after drug wash-out (Oviedo et al., 2010). Regeneration is termed as an asexual mode of reproduction. Subject: Planarian RegenerationConnecting Lab Exercises & Scientific Modeling, (Optional message may have a maximum of 1000 characters.). Planaria Regeneration Activity Page 3 of 4 Procedure (continued) 9. Planarians are a group of worms with a flattened body architecture that belongs to the aptly named phylum Platyhelminthes (platy=flat; helminthes=worms), within which they form a distinct evolutionary clade, the order Tricladida (Fig. Because a small planarian body fragment cannot eat until suitable anatomy has been regenerated (including pharynx and brain), regeneration must occur with existing resources. doi: https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2020.82.9.628. Predict how cells communicate with each other after a stimulus. Nevertheless, planarians now provide a bona fide model system for understanding the mechanistic basis of regeneration. The computational model is able to replicate most of the experimental observations thereby facilitating study of the putative mechanisms. Publication: mid-2021, The Immune System in Development and Regeneration Column I Freshwater planarians produce at least three pigment types to generate brown eye and body colouration: melanin, porphyrin, and ommochrome. Chaired by: preLights, © 2021   The Company of Biologists Ltd   Registered Charity 277992, Model systems for regeneration: planarians. Planarian, any of a group of widely distributed, mostly free-living flatworms of the class Turbellaria (phylum Platyhelminthes). For eg. If this activity is used in a unit that includes neuron signaling, then it is essential to be explicit regarding how the two models differ. In biology, regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. In this regard, planarians provide a particularly powerful experimental paradigm, owing to their rapid rate of regeneration and near-complete experimental freedom over the shape, size or anatomical origin of the regenerating tissue fragments examined. Overcoming this dilemma includes the use of scientific modeling so that students can predict and draw the mechanisms at the molecular scale. In addition, the adult pluripotent stem cells of planarians and their uniquely dynamic tissue architecture expose multiple fascinating phenomena to experimental scrutiny; for example, the self-organized assembly of entire organs, the specification of size and shape, and the maintenance of a dynamic steady state per se. (2018), 4.6: Connections between cells and cellular activities, https://openstax.org/books/biology-2e/pages/4-6-connections-between-cells-and-cellular-activities, Clark et al. Given that Hydra, salamanders, zebrafish and a range of other emerging models all vie for the ‘master of regeneration’ title (Galliot, 2012; Gemberling et al., 2013; Holstein et al., 2003; Tanaka and Reddien, 2011), what is it that planarians can bring to the table? The blastema is an area of whitish cells that are in an embryonic-like state, filled with stem cells that are able to become Double-stranded RNA specifically disrupts gene expression during planarian regeneration, A forkhead transcription factor is wound-induced at the planarian midline and required for anterior pole regeneration, Two FGFRL-Wnt circuits organize the planarian anteroposterior axis, Orthogonal muscle fibres have different instructive roles in planarian regeneration, Inheritance of a nuclear PIWI from pluripotent stem cells by somatic descendants ensures differentiation by silencing transposons in planarian, Restoration of anterior regeneration in a planarian with limited regenerative ability. Thus we can say that fragmentation precedes true regeneration. Here, the organism fragments when it’s ready to reproduce, and new organisms are regenerated from these fragmented parts. The planaria has an amazing capability to regenerate its lost body part. Furthermore, the recent discovery that specific layers of the body wall musculature express axis-specific signals is intriguing in light of the stereotypic arrangement of the fibres along the A-P and M-L axes (Scimone et al., 2017). The pivotal importance of neoblasts as the sole source of new cells for regeneration and homeostatic tissue dynamics raises the problem of how to orchestrate the orderly differentiation of all adult cell types from a single pluripotent stem cell population (Rink, 2018). Inactivation of Smed-PTEN-1 and -2 by RNA interference (RNAi) in planarians disrupts regeneration, and leads to abnormal outgrowths in both cut and uncut animals followed soon after by death (lysis). Recent findings identify key cellular and molecular principles underlying these feats. Circulatory and respiratory systems are absent (Sluys and Riutort, 2018). (2) Intestine (red, Smed-porcupine-A; green, Smed-sufu in situ hybridization). Although the underlying gene regulatory circuits and networks remain to be elucidated, the conversion of a Wnt signalling gradient into transcription factor expression gradients in stem cells provides a working hypothesis that could help explain a key aspect of positional information in planarians and, more generally, why neoblasts in the tail do not make eye progenitors. This modeling activity is also ideal for hybrid or fully online courses. Rarely, students drew models of autocrine signaling, paracrine signaling (and labeled it as such or labeled it as “endocrine” signaling), or drew a general model of endocrine signaling but did not refer to the case study (i.e., showed one cell far away from another cell and labeled it as endocrine signaling).

The organism-wide knockdown of gene function by RNA interference (RNAi) (Rouhana et al., 2013; Sánchez Alvarado and Newmark, 1999) remains the workhorse in the field. Any wounding event, even the prick of a needle, activates neoblast divisions (Baguñà, 1976a; Wenemoser and Reddien, 2010). Neoblasts are not only a source of all adult cell types, but they are in fact the only source of new cells in planarians (Baguñà, 2012; Rink, 2018; Tanaka and Reddien, 2011). In some cnidarians this regenerative ability has parallels to regeneration in planaria; for example, in Hydra the somatic stem cells that drive regeneration express piRNAs, similarly to planarian neoblasts (Juliano et al., 2013).

Furthermore, planarians can restore perfectly proportioned animals from challenges such as oblique cuts (Fig. Left: Simplified phylogenetic relationship between flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) and major taxonomic groups within the Metazoa. However, neoblasts are instrumental in pattern regeneration as they are necessary for pole regeneration. Submission deadline: 1 September 2021 2) (Sluys and Riutort, 2018). Hence, a conceptual framework is beginning to emerge whereby the expression patterns of patterning signals in the body wall musculature translate into location-specific signalling environments in the mesenchyme that ultimately mediate location-specific fate choices of neoblast progeny (Reddien, 2018; reviewed by Rink, 2018). Over 100 years ago, T. H. Morgan reported the regeneration of a piece that he estimated to correspond to 1/279th of the donor animal (Morgan, 1898) and later studies placed the lower size limit at <10,000 cells (Montgomery and Coward, 1974). (B) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. It is still not entirely clear how the stem cells regenerate specific organs. The most recent breakthrough in this area of research was the identification of a stem cell marker, most likely associated with the planarians capacities. Regeneration in a planarian takes about seven days or sometimes a little longer. In the laboratory, pieces as small as 1/279 of the organism develop into functioning individuals (Handberg-Thorsager et al., 2008). Planarians grow and literally de-grow (“shrink”) by the food supply-dependent adjustment of organismal turnover rates, scaling body plan proportionsover as much as a 50-fold size range. They show planarians have pluripotent stem cells (make all types of cell) but not animals have pluripotent cells while some do not use this cell in the regeneration process.

In contrast to other flatworm clades, such as tapeworms or flukes, planarians are non-parasitic. This makes these worms a powerful model system for understanding the molecular and evolutionary underpinnings of regeneration. The authors declare no competing or financial interests. These cells are distributed throughout the body and, when part of the worm has been amputated, they are activated to reform the tissues that have been removed (Wagner et al., 2011). Together with the observation of bmp4(RNAi)-induced ventralization of newly differentiating neoblast progeny, rather than ‘reprogramming’ of terminally differentiated cells (Wurtzel et al., 2017), this suggests that the position of a neoblast and the consequent combination of patterning signals that it is exposed to restricts the lineage choices that its progeny can make.
