Whereas the generation of the finpattern along the proximodistal axis brings with it several well-known developmental regulators, themechanisms by which the fin widens along its dorsoventral axis remain poorly understood. Utilizing thezebrafish as an experimental model of fin regeneration and studying more than 1000 actinopterygian species,we hypothesized a connection between specific inter-ray regulatory mechanisms and the morphologicalvariability of inter-ray membranes found in nature. To tackle these issues, both cellular and molecularapproaches have been adopted and our results suggest the existence of two distinguishable inter-ray areas inthe zebrafish caudal fin, a marginal and a central region. The present work associates the activity of the cellmembrane potassium channel kcnk5b, the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and the sonic hedgehogpathway to the control of several cell functions involved in inter-ray wound healing or dorsoventralregeneration of the zebrafish caudal fin. This ray-dependent regulation controls cell migration, cell-typepatterning and gene expression. The possibility that modifications of these mechanisms are responsible forphenotypic variations found in euteleostean species, is discussed.
