Development of respiratory trees in the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus (Aspidochirotida: Holothuroidea)

Abstract: The development of respiratory trees in the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus has been studied using light and electron microscopy. Primordial respiratory trees emerge in 2-3-mm-long animals (2 months after fertilization). They arise as two independent outgrowths from the dorsal wall of the anterior part of the cloaca. Upon first emerging and throughout the course of development, the left respiratory tree is longer than the right one. A common base develops in 4-mm-long animals (2-3 months after fertilization… Show more

“…Correspondingly, the respiratory system of C. schmeltzii develops from endodermal tissues, which is confirmed by the similarity of the morphology of the luminal epithelia of the respiratory trees to that of the posterior portion of the intestine and by the lack of a cuticle. The formation of respiratory trees in C. schmeltzii following fission is very similar to the regeneration and development of these organs in the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus (Dolmatov and Ginanova, ; Dolmatov et al, ). The specialization of cells of the luminal epithelium of respiratory trees begins as early as it does in A. japonicus .…”

“…The lamellae likely play an important role in respiration by increasing the surface area and, accordingly, the gas exchange rate (Doyle and McNeill, ). In holothurians, the luminal epithelium of the respiratory trees already displays sufficiently developed lamellae in the early stages of development (Dolmatov and Ginanova, ; Dolmatov et al, ; present article). This early specialization of the luminal epithelium of respiratory trees is apparently related to the significance of these organs for maintaining the life activities of holothurians.…”

“…integrity of the digestive system is restored. Respiratory trees in the anterior fragment develop through the transformation of the dorsal wall of the anterior region of the cloaca (Dolmatov and Ginanova 2009;Dolmatov et al, 2011). According to Dolmatov and Ginanova (2001) muscle regeneration process appears to be due to the coelomic epithelial cells which apparently dedifferentiate, migrate and invade the muscle bands where they differentiate into muscle bundle rudiments, finally giving rise to new muscle cells.…”

“…These cells have lamellae on the apical surface and are connected with one another through a complex of specific intercellular junctions during the early stages of formation. Therefore, the regeneration of respiratory trees in C. schmeltzii is similar to the development and regeneration of these organs after evisceration in Apostichopus japonicus [92, 93]. …”
