Cell cycle analysis and X-chromosome inactivation in the developing mouse.

A B Mukherjee

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |May 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Early mouse development lacks the G1 cell cycle phase. The G1 phase emerges at the late blastocyst stage, coinciding with X-chromosome inactivation and asynchronous DNA replication in female embryos.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Cell Cycle Regulation
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • The cell cycle comprises distinct phases: G1, S, G2, and M.
    • X-chromosome inactivation is crucial for dosage compensation in female mammals.
    • Early embryonic development involves rapid cell division and differentiation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the cell cycle dynamics during early mouse development.
    • To determine the timing of the G1 phase acquisition.
    • To correlate the onset of the G1 phase with X-chromosome inactivation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of cell cycle phase durations in mouse embryos.
    • Observation of DNA replication patterns.
    • Correlation of cell cycle progression with X-chromosome activity.

    Main Results:

    • Early mouse embryonic stages are characterized by the absence of a G1 phase.
    • The G1 phase is established at the late blastocyst stage.
    • Asynchronous DNA replication in one X-chromosome initiates concurrently with the appearance of the G1 phase.

    Conclusions:

    • The emergence of the G1 phase is linked to the initiation of X-chromosome inactivation during mouse embryogenesis.
    • This finding provides insights into the regulation of cell cycle control and gene expression during development.
