Mesenchyme Finally, some similar terms used in botany generally are differentiated by the suffix "a": mesenchyma (a tissue between xylem and phloem in roots), collenchyma (primordial leaf tissues) and parenchyma (supportive tissues).
Mesenchyme The formation of primary mesenchyme depends on the expression of Wnt3. Other deficiencies in the Wnt signaling pathway, such as in Nodal (a TGF-beta protein), will lead to defective mesoderm formation.
Mesenchyme In order to differentiate the use of the word mesenchyme in invertebrate zoology described above (a ecto- or entomesodermal middle layer of some invertebrates) and the use in vertebrate embryology (that is, undifferentiated tissue found in embryonic true mesoderm - entomesoderm - from which are derived all connective tissues, blood vessels, blood cells, the lymphatic system, and the heart), some authors prefer to use the term mesoglea (in wider sense) in lieu of mesenchyme when referring to the middle layers of sponges and diploblasts, reserving the term mesenchyme for the embryological sense. However, Brusca & Brusca (2003) discourage this usage, using mesoglea in its strict sense (noncellular mesenchyme), and preferring to maintain both the embryological and zoological senses for the term mesenchyme.
Mesenchyme Mesenchymal tissue is a tissue type composed of migratory cells that have undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Mesenchyme exists as essential migratory tissue in embryonic development, plays several roles in the adult, and can form as a result of cancer cells metastasizing. It lacks a specifically defined morphological structure, but is characterized by a lack of cell surface adherent molecules such as E-cadherin, non-polarity, extending filopodia, and high migratory capacity. The cells are surrounded by large extracellular matrix. Some mesenchyme will also undergo a mesenchyme to epithelial transition, which is the basis for migratory metastasizing cancers such as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
Mesenchyme The tissue itself is characterized by a high proportion of ground substance amongst reticular fibres, forming loose, irregular connective tissue. Mesenchymal cells are able to migrate along the ECM by extending filopodia through the loose matrix to move in response to appropriate attractive molecules. The tissue is amorphous and distinct from the sheets formed by polarized epithelial cells
