Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with diode array and mass spectrometric detector (HPLC-DAD-MS) method for quinonoid pigment identification and quantification in sea urchin samples was developed and validated. The composition and quantitative ratio of the quinonoid pigments of the shells of 16 species of sea urchins, collected in the temperate (Sea of Japan) and tropical (South-China Sea) climatic zones of the Pacific Ocean over several years, were studied. The compositions of the quinonoid pigments of sea urchins Maretia planulata, Scaphechinus griseus, Laganum decagonale and Phyllacanthus imperialis were studied for the first time. A study of the composition of the quinonoid pigments of the coelomic fluid of ten species of sea urchins was conducted. The composition of quinonoid pigments of Echinarachnius parma jelly-like egg membrane, of Scaphechinus mirabilis developing embryos and pluteus, was reported for the first time. In the case of Scaphechinus mirabilis, we have shown that the compositions of pigment granules of the shell epidermis, coelomic fluid, egg membrane, developing embryos and pluteus are different, which should enable a fuller understanding of the functions of pigments at different stages of life.

Abstract
The quinone pigments of sea urchins, specifically echinochrome and spinochromes, are known for their effective antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor activities. We developed in vitro technology for inducing pigment differentiation in cell culture. The intensification of the pigment differentiation was accompanied by a simultaneous decrease in cell proliferation. The number of pigment cells was two-fold higher in the cells cultivated in the coelomic fluids of injured sea urchins than in those intact. The possible roles of the specific components of the coelomic fluids in the pigment differentiation process and the quantitative measurement of the production of naphthoquinone pigments during cultivation were examined by MALDI and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Echinochrome A and spinochrome E were produced by the cultivated cells of the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis in all tested media, while only spinochromes were found in the cultivated cells of another sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus intermedius. The expression of genes associated with the induction of pigment differentiation was increased in cells cultivated in the presence of shikimic acid, a precursor of naphthoquinone pigments. Our results should contribute to the development of new techniques in marine biotechnology, including the generation of cell cultures producing complex bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.

Abstract
One of the polyketide compounds, the naphthoquinone pigment echinochrome, is synthesized in sea urchin pigment cells. We analyzed polyketide synthase (pks) and sulfotransferase (sult) gene expression in embryos and larvae of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius from various stages of development and in specific tissues of the adults. We observed the highest level of expression of the pks and sult genes at the gastrula stage. In unfertilized eggs, only trace amounts of the pks and sult transcripts were detected, whereas no transcripts of these genes were observed in spermatozoids. The addition of shikimic acid, a precursor of naphthoquinone pigments, to zygotes and embryos increased the expression of the pks and sult genes. Our findings, including the development of specific conditions to promote pigment cell differentiation of embryonic sea urchin cells in culture, represent a definitive study on the molecular signaling pathways that are involved in the biosynthesis of pigments during sea urchin development.

Abstract
The behavior and differentiation processes of pigment cells were studied in embryos of a tropical sea urchin Echinometra mathaei, whose egg volume was one half of those of well-known sea urchin species. Owing to earlier accumulation of pigments, pigment cells could be detected in the vegetal plate even before the onset of gastrulation, distributed dorsally in a hemi-circle near the center of the vegetal plate. Although some pigment cells left the archenteron during gastrulation, most of them remained at the archenteron tip. At the end of gastrulation, pigment cells left the archenteron and migrated into the blastocoele. Unlike pigment cells in typical sea urchins, however, they did not enter the ectoderm, and stayed in the blastocoele even at the pluteus stage. It is of interest that the majority of pigment cells were distributed in the vicinity of the larval skeleton. Aphidicolin treatment revealed that eight blastomeres were specific to pigment cell lineage after the eighth cleavage, one cell cycle earlier than that in well-known sea urchins. The pigment founder cells divided twice, and the number of pigment cells was around 32 at the pluteus stage. It was also found that the differentiation of pigment cells was blocked with Ni2+, whereas the treatment was effective only during the first division cycle of the founder cells.

Abstract
To learn how the dorso-ventral (DV) axis of sea urchin embryos affects the specification processes of secondary mesenchyme cells (SMC), a fluorescent dye was injected into one of the macromeres of 16-cell stage embryos, and the number of each type of labeled SMC was examined at the prism stage. A large number of labeled pigment cells was observed in embryos in which the progeny of the labeled macromere were distributed in the dorsal part of the embryo. In contrast, labeled pigment cells were scarcely noticed when the descendants of the labeled macromere occupied the ventral part. In such embryos, free mesenchyme cells (probably blastocoelar cells) were predominantly labeled. CH3COONa treatment, which is known to increase the number of pigment cells, canceled such patterned specification of pigment cells and blastocoelar cells along the DV axis. Pigment cells were also derived from the ventral blastomere in the treated embryo. In contrast, a similar number of coelomic pouch cells was derived from the labeled macromere, irrespective of the position of its descendants along the DV axis. After examination of the arrangement of blastomeres in late cleavage stage embryos, it was determined that 17-20 veg2-derived cells encircled the cluster of micromere descendants after the 9th cleavage. From this number and the numbers of SMC-derived cells in later stage embryos, it was suggested that the most vegetally positioned veg2 descendants at approximately the 9th cleavage were preferentially specified to pigment and blastocoelar cell lineages. The obtained results also suggested the existence of undescribed types of SMC scattered in the blastocoele.
