cardiac ventricle morphogenesis
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The process in which the cardiac ventricle is generated and organized. A cardiac ventricle receives blood from a cardiac atrium and pumps it out of the heart. [GOC:mtg_heart]
Cardiac ventricle morphogenesis is a complex and highly regulated process that involves the coordinated action of multiple signaling pathways, transcription factors, and cell interactions. It begins during embryonic development and is essential for the formation of a functional heart. Here is a detailed description of the key steps involved:
1. **Specification of the cardiac progenitor cells**: During gastrulation, a population of cells in the anterior mesoderm becomes specified as cardiac progenitor cells. These cells express specific transcription factors such as NKX2.5 and GATA4 that commit them to a cardiac fate.
2. **Formation of the heart tube**: Cardiac progenitor cells migrate to the midline of the embryo and form a horseshoe-shaped structure called the heart tube. The heart tube is initially a single chamber with a continuous lumen.
3. **Looping and chamber formation**: The heart tube undergoes a process called looping, where it bends into a complex S-shaped structure. This looping process defines the positions of the future chambers of the heart. Concurrently, the heart tube begins to partition into distinct chambers, including the ventricles.
4. **Ventricular septation**: The separation of the ventricles into left and right chambers occurs through a process called septation. This involves the formation of a septum, a muscular wall, that divides the ventricle into two distinct chambers.
5. **Growth and maturation**: Once the ventricles are separated, they continue to grow and mature. This involves the proliferation and differentiation of cardiomyocytes, the specialized muscle cells of the heart.
6. **Valve development**: Valves are structures that regulate blood flow between the chambers of the heart. Valve development is intricately linked to ventricular morphogenesis. The valves are formed from endocardial cushions, specialized structures that protrude into the lumen of the heart.
7. **Electrophysiological maturation**: As the ventricles mature, their electrical properties also develop. This involves the establishment of a specialized conduction system, which coordinates the rhythmic contractions of the heart.
8. **Integration with the circulatory system**: The developing ventricles become integrated with the circulatory system, receiving blood from the atria and pumping it to the lungs and the rest of the body.
The entire process of cardiac ventricle morphogenesis is tightly regulated by various signaling pathways, including the Wnt, TGF-β, and Notch pathways. These pathways interact with transcription factors and other cellular components to control cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Disruptions in these pathways can lead to various congenital heart defects.'
