cDNAとは、mRNAを鋳型として逆転写酵素により合成したDNA(一重鎖)のことです。cDNAはcomplemantary DNA to mRNAという意味です。通常、実験するうえでcDNAを一重鎖のままにしておくことはなく、cDNAを鋳型としてDNA合成酵素を働かせて二重鎖を得ます。そうしないと、増やしたりできないので。最初につくった一本鎖のcDNAはアンチセンス鎖ですが、それを鋳型にして二重鎖にするために合成した方は、センス鎖になります。cDNAクローニングの論文で示される塩基配列は、センス鎖の塩基配列です。cDNAはmRNAを鋳型にして作った一本鎖DNAという言い方を見ると、論文でcDNA配列といったときの配列とは逆になるのでは?という疑問が湧いて、混乱を招きそうです。そのあたりを、ハッキリさせておきます。

cDNA is initially single-stranded after it is synthesized from mRNA, and there’s a subtle distinction when considering single- and double-stranded DNA.
Here’s a more precise breakdown of what happens:
Single-stranded cDNA:
cDNA is synthesized from the mRNA template by reverse transcriptase, making it complementary to the mRNA. Since mRNA is complementary to the anti-sense (template) strand of genomic DNA, the single-stranded cDNA is complementary to the mRNA, which essentially makes it analogous to the anti-sense strand of genomic DNA.
Double-stranded cDNA:
If the cDNA is made into a double-stranded molecule (which is often the case in practical applications), then the second strand is synthesized to be complementary to the first (single-stranded) cDNA. This newly synthesized strand is now complementary to the cDNA and, as a result, matches the sequence of the original mRNA (or the sense strand of genomic DNA).
Thus, when cDNA is single-stranded, it is effectively the anti-sense strand (complementary to mRNA). However, once you make it double-stranded, the complementary strand matches the sense strand of the original genomic DNA.
Summary:
Single-stranded cDNA corresponds to the anti-sense strand of the genomic DNA.
When cDNA becomes double-stranded, the newly synthesized second strand is the sense strand, which matches the original genomic DNA’s sense strand (with T instead of U).
The strand from the “first-strand synthesis” of cDNA is the one synthesized directly from the mRNA template. Since mRNA is complementary to the anti-sense strand of the original genomic DNA, this first-strand cDNA is complementary to the mRNA and is therefore analogous to the anti-sense strand of the original DNA.
The strand from the “second-strand synthesis” of cDNA is synthesized using the first-strand cDNA as a template. This second strand will be complementary to the first strand, which means it will have the same sequence as the original sense strand of the genomic DNA (except for thymine (T) replacing uracil (U) found in mRNA).
In summary:
The first-strand cDNA corresponds to the anti-sense strand.
The second-strand cDNA corresponds to the sense strand.

In cell biology, the term “canonical pathway” refers to the standard, well-characterized, or classical version of a signal transduction pathway that is typically the most commonly studied and understood version. In the context of signal transduction, when we refer to the canonical Wnt pathway, for example, it typically means the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is the main or classical route by which Wnt signaling regulates gene expression.
Key Features of a Canonical Pathway:
Main or classical pathway: It is the primary signaling route through which a ligand (e.g., Wnt, Hedgehog, etc.) exerts its effects on the cell.
Specific downstream components: In a canonical pathway, specific downstream molecules are activated in a well-established sequence (e.g., Wnt binds to its receptor, leading to the stabilization of β-catenin, which translocates to the nucleus to regulate gene expression).
General or broad role: Canonical pathways often have broader and more general roles in regulating various cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and development.
Examples:
Canonical Wnt pathway: Refers to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, where Wnt signaling stabilizes β-catenin to activate gene transcription.
Canonical TGF-β pathway: Involves the activation of Smad2 and Smad3, which translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.
In contrast, non-canonical pathways are alternative signaling routes that do not follow the classical mechanism and often involve different downstream components and processes, like the Wnt/PCP (planar cell polarity) pathway or Wnt/Ca2+ pathway.
Summary:
The term “canonical pathway” in signal transduction refers to the classical or standard version of a signaling pathway that involves well-defined molecules and mechanisms, widely studied and understood. (ChatGPTの解説)

訂正 In this paper (Cell 95[6], 829–837), we described the direction of the nodal cilia rotation as counterclockwise (Figure 6B). However, our recent analyses with higher spatiotemporal resolution revealed that the actual direction is clockwise when seen from the ventral side (above the nodal pit cells). In our previous observation with lower temporal resolution (10 frames per second), the direction of the rapid rotation (∼10 rounds per second) of the nodal cilia was misinterpreted due to the artifact caused by the strobe effect. ‥ For further details, refer to our recent paper Y.

Physical limits of flow sensing in the left-right organizer Jun 14, 2017 https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.25078 Two hypotheses have been proposed for asymmetric flow detection. According to the chemosensing hypothesis, the directional flow establishes a LR asymmetric chemical gradient that is detected by signaling systems which leads to LR asymmetric gene expression and cell responses in the LRO (Okada et al., 2005). The mechanosensing hypothesis, on the other hand, proposes that the LRO cells can detect the mechanical effects of flow. It has been suggested that this mechanosensing is mediated by a particular type of sensory cilia that is able to trigger a local, asymmetric response of the so-called crown cells, which are located at the periphery of the node (mouse LRO) (McGrath et al., 2003; Tabin and Vogan, 2003).

Hensen’s node taken from stage 4 to stage 9 quail embryos (the majority was from stage 4) was transplanted to different sides of the axis of stage 4 to stage 6 chick embryos in the area pellucida. The graft differentiated into notochord, neural tissues, somites, and mesenchymal cells, and could also induce the associated host ectoderm to form neural tissue, as described previously (Gallera, 1971; Hornbruch et al., 1979). However, after examining the host embryos in detail, we found that a third axiswas formed in many host embryos besides the secondary axis formed by the grafted Hensen’s node itself (Fig. 8). The third axis was duplicated entirely from host tissue and usually contained a neural tube and somites (Fig. 9). As shown in Table 4, the stage 4 embryo was again the most sensitive to the inductive action of Hensen’s node. Like RA, Hensen’s node grafted on the left side or anterior side of the host axis could cause the duplication of the host axis most frequently (see Table 4). However, Hensen’s node produces more complicated inductive effects than RA. When Hensen’s node was grafted on the right side of the stage 4 host axis, it could also induce a third axis. Stage 5 embryos still responded to the inductive action of grafted Hensen’s node and yielded a third axis. Interestingly, if stage 5 embryos were used as the hosts, only those hosts that received a grafted Hensen’s node on the right side of their axis showed the duplication of the host axis. These results suggested that Hensen’s node might contain another inducing factor that acts like RA but in the opposite direction or might be more potent than the RA beads. However, if stage 6 embryos were used as hosts, grafted Hensen’s node failed to cause axial duplication in the hosts. When primitive streak taken from stage 4 to stage 6 quail embryos was transplanted to stage 4 chick blastoderms as a control experiment, none of the total 12 cases showed host axis duplication (Fig. 8).

B) Cripto-1 Nodal-independent signaling via binding with Glypican-1 and activating src/Ras/raf/PI3K downstream signaling. C) Possible signaling of Cripto-1 through binding to beta-integrins and signaling via FAK-dependent signaling pathway.

Nodal antagonists regulate formation of the anteroposterior axis of the mouse embryo. Yamamoto M, Saijoh Y, Perea-Gomez A, Shawlot W, Behringer RR, Ang SL, Hamada H, Meno C. Nature. 2004;428:387–392. doi: 10.1038/nature02418. Abstract Patterning of the mouse embryo along the anteroposterior axis during body plan development requires migration of thedistal visceral endoderm (DVE) towards the future anterior side by a mechanism that has remained unknown. Here we show that Nodal signalling and the regionalization of its antagonists are required for normal migration of the DVE. Whereas Nodal signalling provides the driving force for DVE migration by stimulating the proliferation of visceral endoderm cells, the antagonists Lefty1 and Cerl determine the direction of migration by asymmetrically inhibiting Nodal activity on the future anterior side. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature02418 本文読めた To confirm the role of Nodal antagonists in A–P patterning, we analysed mutant mice lacking Lefty1 or Cerl. Lefty1-/- (ref. 13) and Cerl-/- (refs 6, 14, 15) embryos undergo normal gastrulation, whereas Cerl-/-,Lefty1-/- embryos develop multiple primitive streaks8, suggestive of functional redundancy between Lefty1 and Cerl. We first examined expression of the AVE marker Hex (Fig. 5a, b, h, i). The Hex expression domain was expanded slightly in Cerl-/- and Lefty1-/- mutants (data not shown) and markedly in the Cerl-/-,Lefty1-/- double mutant (Fig. 5b, i), in which cells positive for Hex transcripts occupied the entire anterior half of the VE at E6.5 (n = 4). These results reveal that the Nodal antagonists restrict the size or location of the AVE, perhaps by inhibiting the proliferation of AVE cells.
a Following implantation, Nodal is expressed throughout the epiblast and plays a role in specifying the underlying distal visceral endoderm (DVE). The DVE in response secretes Nodal inhibitors Cerberus and Lefty, generating a posterior-distal gradient of Nodal and forming one of the earliest patterns in the embryo. ExE extra-embryonic ectoderm, VE visceral endoderm, P-D proximal-distal. b The DVE migrates anteriorly to become the anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) concentrating Nodal further to the proximal and newly formed posterior axis by continued secretion of Nodal inhibitors. A-P anterior-posterior. c In a process that requires high levels of Nodal, gastrulation begins with formation of the early primitive streak. Epiblast cells undergo EMT and migrate with subsequent differentiation into mesoderm and endoderm lineages. Inset: Pro-Nodal expressed in the epiblast upregulates Furin, Pace4, and BMP4 within the ExE. Furin and Pace4 subsequently process pro-Nodal and BMP4 stimulates Wnt3 signaling in the epiblast. Wnt3 acts on a Nodal proximal epiblast enhancer to increase Nodal expression. Nodal also amplifies its own signal through an enhancer region in intron 1 stimulated by Smad2/3-FoxH1, collectively increasing levels of Nodal in the proximal epiblast.

中胚葉誘導と体軸形成との関係
Mesoderm induction and axis formation are tightly correlated processes in developmental biology, particularly during early embryogenesis. Here’s how they are interconnected:
Mesoderm Induction: This process begins during gastrulation, where signaling molecules like Nodal, BMP, and Wnt help induce the formation of mesoderm from the epiblast. The mesoderm gives rise to various tissues, including muscles, bones, and the circulatory system.
Organizer and Axis Formation: The Spemann-Mangold organizer (in amphibians) or the Hensen’s node (in mammals) plays a central role in both mesoderm induction and the formation of the body axis. The organizer secretes BMP antagonists (such as Chordin, Noggin, and Follistatin) that create a dorsal-ventral gradient essential for patterning the mesoderm and establishing the anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes.
Signaling Pathways:
Nodal signaling: Initiates mesoderm formation and is essential for the primitive streak formation, which defines the body axis (anterior-posterior).
BMP inhibition by molecules like Chordin and Noggin, secreted from the organizer, is crucial for dorsalization and axis formation. Without this inhibition, mesoderm would not form correctly, leading to a lack of proper axis formation.
In summary, mesoderm induction and axis formation are closely linked, with key signaling molecules from the organizer region guiding both the formation of mesodermal tissue and the establishment of the body axis during early development.
In mice, around embryonic day (E) 6.0, at the time when gastrulation begins, mouse PGCs (mPGCs) are specified as about 10 cells in the most posterior part of epiblast, the cup-shaped simple pluripotent epithelium, from which all of the embryonic portion are derived (Fig. 1.1). This process occurs in response to bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) [25] produced by the extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE), an extraembryonic part of conceptus in intimate contact with the edge of the epiblast (Fig. 1.1). https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/extraembryonic-ectoderm
