Sonic Hedgehog acts in a graded manner to pattern the ventral neural tube
A A morphogen can pattern a developing tissue. A secreted signal (blue) is produced from a localized source (S) and spreads through the tissue to establish a gradient. Cells respond to different concentrations of the signal by regulating different sets of genes (red, orange and yellow). This induces distinct cell fates (A, B and C) at different distances from S (adapted from the French Flag Model in Wolpert, 1969).
B Shh protein (brown) is produced from the notochord (n) and floor plate at the ventral midline of the neural tube. Shh spreads dorsally establishing a gradient that controls the generation of distinct neuronal subtypes (interneurons (V0–V3) and motor neurons (MN)). In vitro, different concentrations of Shh are sufficient to induce the distinct neuronal subtypes. The concentration of Shh necessary to induce a specific subtype corresponds to its position of generation in vivo.
