Collier1996 - Delta Notch intercellular signalling and lateral inhibition

ABSTRACT: ODE model describing how slight variations in Notch and Delta cellular concentrations, through lateral inhibition, lead to cells with different states of differentiation. Lateral inhibition is a process whereby a given cell adopting a given fate prevents its immediate neighbouring cells from doing likewise. Notch and Delta are interacting transmembrane proteins and according to this model, lateral inhibition is due to a process where the inhibited cells (where notch has been activated by Delta) loose their ability to inhibit other cells (by synthesizing Delta). This process creates a feedback loop where cells with more delta proteins on their surface inhibit their immediate neighbours and adopt a different cell fate than those neighbours.

In many developing tissues, adjacent cells diverge in character so as to create a fine-grained pattern of cells in contrasting states of differentiation. It has been proposed that such patterns can be generated through lateral inhibition--a type of cell-cell interaction whereby a cell that adopts a particular fate inhibits its immediate neighbors from doing likewise. Lateral inhibition is well documented in flies, worms and vertebrates. In all of these organisms, the transmembrane proteins Notch ...[more]

Project description:deBack2012 - Lineage Specification in Pancreas Development This model of two neighbouring pancreas precursor cells, describes the exocrine versus endocrine lineage specification process. To account for the tissue scale patterns, this couplet model has been extended to hundreds of coupled cells. This model is described in the article: On the role of lateral stabilization during early patterning in the pancreas de Back W., Zhou JX, Brusch L J. R. Soc. Interface 6 February 2013 vol. 10 no. 79 20120766 Abstract: The cell fate decision of multi-potent pancreatic progenitor cells between the exocrine and endocrine lineages is regulated by Notch signalling, mediated by cell–cell interactions. However, canonical models of Notch-mediated lateral inhibition cannot explain the scattered spatial distribution of endocrine cells and the cell-type ratio in the developing pancreas. Based on evidence from acinar-to-islet cell transdifferentiation in vitro, we propose that lateral stabilization, i.e. positive feedback between adjacent progenitor cells, acts in parallel with lateral inhibition to regulate pattern formation in the pancreas. A simple mathematical model of transcriptional regulation and cell–cell interaction reveals the existence of multi-stability of spatial patterns whose simultaneous occurrence causes scattering of endocrine cells in the presence of noise. The scattering pattern allows for control of the endocrine-to-exocrine cell-type ratio by modulation of lateral stabilization strength. These theoretical results suggest a previously unrecognized role for lateral stabilization in lineage specification, spatial patterning and cell-type ratio control in organ development.
