The outer epithelial layer is the first cell type that emerges during development, providing essential mechanical protection and is indispensable for morphogenesis. Here, we study how the interplay between molecular and mechanosensing pathways participate in this tissue formation and function by combining in vivo assays with bottom-up ex vivo/in vitro assays using zebrafish enveloping layer (EVL) as model system. We found that mechanosensitive signalling pathways involving Trpv4 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4) activity at the plasma membrane and cPLA2 (cytoplasmic phospholipase A2) activity at the inner nuclear membrane, together with the transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α (C/EBPα) and ...
