During organogenesis, cell fate specification and patterning are regulated by
signaling centers, specialized clusters of morphogen-expressing cells. In many
organs, initiation of development is marked by bud formation, but the cellular
mechanisms involved are ill defined. Here, we use the mouse incisor tooth as a
model to study budding morphogenesis. We show that a group of nonproliferative
epithelial cells emerges in the early tooth primordium and identify these cells
as a signaling center. Confocal live imaging of tissue explants revealed that
although these cells reorganize dynamically, they do not reenter the cell cycle
or contribute to the growing tooth bud. Instead, budding is driven by
proliferation of the neighboring cells. We demonstrate that the activity of the
ectodysplasin/Edar/nuclear factor ?B pathway is restricted to the signaling
center, and its inactivation leads to fewer quiescent cells and a smaller bud.
These data functionally link the signaling center size to organ size and imply
that the early signaling center is a prerequisite for budding morphogenesis.
