    Summary

    Testosterone inhibits dark cell differentiation, crucial for bursa of Fabricius development. This disruption prevents bud and follicular formation in testosterone-treated embryos, impacting immune organ development.

    Area of Science:

    • Avian embryology
    • Developmental immunology

    Background:

    • The bursa of Fabricius is a primary lymphoid organ in birds, essential for B cell maturation.
    • Understanding its developmental process is key to avian immunology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the developmental stages of the bursa of Fabricius in normal and testosterone-treated avian embryos.
    • To elucidate the role of mesenchymal cells, particularly dark cells, in bursal morphogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study of normal and testosterone-exposed chick embryos.
    • Histological examination of bursal development from early incubation stages.
    • Observation of mesenchymal cell differentiation and migration within the bursal anlage.

    Main Results:

    • The bursal anlage forms as an outgrowth of the cloaca by day 5, with lumen formation by day 7.
    • Mesenchymal dark cells differentiate, aggregate, and induce epithelial bud formation between days 11-14.
    • Testosterone exposure inhibits dark cell differentiation, leading to failed bud and follicular formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Differentiated dark cells provide an essential inductive signal for bursal follicle development.
    • Testosterone disrupts this inductive process by inhibiting dark cell differentiation, thereby impairing bursa of Fabricius morphogenesis.
