During development, pseudostratified epithelia undergo large scale morphogenetic events associated with increased mechanical stress. The molecular mechanisms that maintain tissue integrity in this context are poorly understood. Using a variety of genetic and imaging approaches, we uncover that the ASPP2/PP1 complex ensures proper epiblast and proamniotic cavity architecture via a mechanism that specifically prevents the most apical daughter cells from delaminating apically following cell division events. The ASPP2/PP1 complex achieves this by maintaining the integrity and organisation of the F-actin cytoskeleton at the apical surface of dividing cells. ASPP2/PP1 is also essential during gastrulation in the primitive streak, in somites and in the head fold region, suggesting that this complex is required across a wide range of pseudostratified epithelia during morphogenetic events that are accompanied by intense tissue remodelling and high cell proliferation. Finally, our study also suggests that the interaction between ASPP2 and PP1 is essential to the tumour suppressor function of ASPP2 which may be particularly relevant in the context of tissues that are subject to increased mechanical stress.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
