abstract = {Sponges constitute one of the two metazoan phyla that are
able to contract their bodies despite a complete lack of
muscle cells. Two competing hypotheses on the mechanisms
behind this have been postulated to date: (1)
mesohyl-mediated contraction originating from fusiform
smooth muscle-like actinocytes ('myocytes') and (2)
epidermal contraction originating in pinacocytes. No direct
support exists for either hypothesis. The question of
agonist-antagonist interaction in sponge contraction seems
to have been completely neglected so far. In the present
study we addressed this by studying sponge contraction
kinetics. We also tested both hypotheses by carrying out
volumetric studies of 3D synchrotron radiation-based x-ray
microtomography data obtained from contracted and expanded
specimens of Tethya wilhelma. Our results support the
pinacoderm contraction hypothesis. Should mesohyl
contraction be present, it is likely to be part of the
antagonist system. We conclude that epithelial contraction
plays a major role in sponges. Contractile epithelia sensu
lato may be regarded as part of the ground pattern of the
Metazoa.},
