The cranial placodes are thickenings of embryonic ectoderm and give rise to multiple cranial sensory organs and ganglia in vertebrate head. It has been proposed that the emergency of cranial placodes is one of key characteristics to distinguish vertebrates and other chordates. However, recent studies have shown that the anterior neural plate border (ANB) in ascidians, closest relatives of vertebrates, has similarities with vertebrate placodes. The study of gene regulatory network (GRN) in ANB cells is required for further understanding the evolutionary origin of cranial placodes. In present study, we found that Foxg, a conserved transcription factor, began to be expressed in ANB cells at the early neurula stage under the control of Foxc and MAPK signaling pathway. Ephrina.d negatively regulated the MAPK signaling pathway to restrict Foxg expression domain. Knockdown of Foxg affected the formation of the derivatives of ANB cells. Because Foxg is important for specification of cranial placodes in vertebrate embryos, our results provide additional evidence suggesting that the ascidian ANB cells and vertebrate cranial placodes share an evolutionary origin.
