To understand better the mechanisms involved, we investigated calcium signalling and gap junctional coupling within and between the RPE and the neural retina in embryonic day (E) 5 chick. We show that the RPE and the ventricular zone (VZ) of the neural retina display spontaneous Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> transients. In the RPE, these often spread as waves between neighbouring cells. In the VZ, the frequency of both Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> transients and waves was lower than in RPE, but increased two\u2010fold in its presence. Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> signals occasionally crossed the boundary between the RPE and VZ in either direction. In both tissues, the frequency of propagating Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> waves, but not of individual cell transients, was reduced by gap junction blockers. Use of the gap junction permeant tracer Neurobiotin showed that neural retina cells are coupled into clusters that span the thickness of the retina, and that RPE cells are both coupled together and to clusters of cells in the neural retina. Immunolabelling for Cx43 showed this gap junction protein is present at the junction between the RPE and VZ and thus could potentially mediate the coupling of the two tissues. Immunolabelling for \u03b2\u2010tubulin and vimentin showed that clusters of coupled cells in the neural retina comprised mainly progenitor cells. We conclude that gap junctions between progenitor cells, and between these cells and the RPE, may orchestrate retinal proliferation\/differentiation, via the propagation of Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> or other signalling molecules.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0953-816x.2004.03338.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,29]],"date-time":"2004-04-29T15:53:33Z","timestamp":1083254013000},"page":"2435-2445","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Ca<sup>2+<\/sup> signalling and gap junction coupling within and between pigment epithelium and neural retina in the developing chick"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Rachael A.","family":"Pearson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Catsicas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"David L.","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Philippa","family":"Bayley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nanna L.","family":"L\u00fcneborg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Mobbs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/neu.10088"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.108.4.1455"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/exnr.1999.7027"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7037","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.17-18-07037.1997","article-title":"Cell coupling and uncoupling in the ventricular zone of the developing neocortex","volume":"17","author":"Bittman K.","year":"1997","journal-title":"J.
