Reversibilidad de la diferenciación muscular en ausencia de compromiso: análisis de una línea celular miogénica

H T Nguyen, R M Medford, B Nadal-Ginard

|August 1, 1983

Resumen

La diferenciación de las células musculares requiere tanto compromiso como expresión génica. El compromiso es reversible sin diferenciación terminal, mostrándolo así.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Biología celular Biología celular.
Biología del desarrollo Biología del desarrollo.

Sus antecedentes:

La expresión génica específica del músculo es crucial para la miogénesis.
El papel del compromiso del ciclo celular en la diferenciación muscular no se entiende completamente.

Objetivo del estudio:

Investigar la relación entre el compromiso y la expresión génica específica del músculo.
Para determinar si el compromiso es necesario para la inducción de genes específicos del músculo.

Principales métodos:

Utilizó una línea celular miogénica sensible a la temperatura (ts 3b-2) para estudiar el compromiso y la fusión celular.
Se analizó el ARNm y la síntesis y acumulación de proteínas específicas del músculo a temperaturas permisivas y no permisivas.

Principales resultados:

El compromiso y la fusión celular no son necesarios para la inducción de la expresión génica específica del músculo.
En ausencia de compromiso, la expresión génica específica del músculo es reversible y desinducida tras la estimulación del crecimiento.
La desinducción implica el cese preferente de la síntesis de ARNm muscular específica y la desestabilización del ARNm citoplasmático.

Conclusiones:

El compromiso y la expresión génica específica del músculo son necesarios pero insuficientes para la diferenciación muscular terminal.
La retirada reversible del ciclo celular permite la regulación dinámica de la expresión génica específica del músculo.

Determination

Determination

During embryogenesis, cells become progressively committed to different fates through a two-step process: specification followed by determination. Specification is demonstrated by removing a segment of an early embryo, “neutrally” culturing the tissue in vitro—for example, in a petri dish with simple medium—and then observing the derivatives. If the cultured region gives rise to cell types that it would normally generate in the embryo, this means that it is specified. In...

Master Transcription Regulators

Master Transcription Regulators

Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Formation of Muscle Fibers from Myoblasts

Formation of Muscle Fibers from Myoblasts

De novo myogenesis, or the formation of muscle fibers, begins during the early embryonic stages. The skeletal muscle is formed from somites– blocks of embryonic cell layers. The somites are further divided into dermatomes, myotomes, sclerotomes, and syndetomes. Among these, the myotomes give rise to muscle fibers.
Muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) are formed from the myotomes. MPCs express genes that encode the transcription factors Pax3 and Pax7. Along with Pax 3/7, other transcription...

Satellite Stem Cells and Muscular Dystrophy

Satellite Stem Cells and Muscular Dystrophy

Satellite stem cells or myosatellite cells are quiescent stem cells that Alexander Mauro first identified in 1961. These cells are located between the sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of muscle fibers, and the basal lamina, the connective tissue sheath covering it. These mononucleated cells are activated in response to muscle injury, can transform into myoblasts, and may form or repair muscle fibers. Myosatellite cells can provide additional myonuclei for muscle regeneration or return to a...

Forced Transdifferentiation

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
