Abstract：
:Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells are derivatives of the neural crest and are widely believed to share a common sympathoadrenal (SA) progenitor with sympathetic neurons. For decades, the adrenal cortical environment was assumed to be essential for channelling SA progenitors towards an endocrine chromaffin cell fate. Our recent analysis of steroidogenic factor 1(Sf1) -/- mice, which lack an adrenal cortex, has challenged this view: in Sf1 -/- mice chromaffin cells migrate to the correct "adrenal" location and undergo largely normal differentiation. In contrast to Sf1 homozygous mutants, heterozygous animals have an adrenal cortex, which, however, is smaller than in wildtype littermates. We show here that the Sf1 +/- adrenal cortical anlagen attract normal numbers of chromaffin progenitor cells into their vicinity by embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5). Two days later, however, only a few scattered cells with highly immature features have immigrated into the adrenal cortex, whereas the remainder form a coherent cell assembly ectopically located at the medial surface of the gland. These cells appear more mature than the scattered intracortical chromaffin progenitors and express the adrenaline synthesizing enzyme PNMT with a delay of 1 day in comparison with wildtype littermates. Nevertheless, chromaffin progenitor cells undergo a numerical reduction of approximately 30% by E17.5. Together, our data suggest that normal adrenocortical development is critical for the correct immigration of chromaffin progenitors into the cortical anlagen, for the timing of PNMT expression and for the regulation of chromaffin cell numbers.
