概括

转录因子Mohawk (Mkx) 对于出生后保持肌健康至关重要. 基因剂量效应显示,降低Mkx水平会损害肌结构和原组织,影响肌整体平衡.

科学领域:

生物化学生物化学
分子生物学分子生物学
肌生物学肌生物学

背景情况:

已知转录因子Mohawk (Mkx) 对肌发育和分化至关重要.
然而,它在产后肌成熟,维护和潜在的基因剂量影响中的作用仍然基本上未被描述.

研究的目的:

调查Mkx在产后肌成熟和维护期间的时间要求和基因剂量影响.
阐明在已建立肌中的Mkx功能背后的分子机制.

主要方法:

产生一种新的条件淘汰赛小鼠模型 (Mkx^{Venus-CreERT2/flox}) 进行可诱导的Mkx删除.
在出生后早期 (P3) 和成年 (6周大) 阶段给予他莫西芬.
通过组织学和传输电子显微镜 (TEM) 评估肌形态,并使用RNA-seq.进行转录造型.

主要成果:

条件删除Mkx,特别是在Mkx^{Venus-CreERT2/flox}小鼠中,导致肌厚度和原纤维组织的显著缺陷.
早期产后和成人Mkx删除都诱导了肌的渐进性形态变化和减少原纤维体直径的趋势.
在Mkx缺陷肌中,RNA-seq确定了与细胞外矩阵 (ECM) 组织和肌稳定相关的明显的转录变化.

结论:

这项研究突出了Mkx在产后肌维护方面的以前未知的基因剂量效应.
适当的Mkx水平对于维持肌平衡至关重要.
这些发现为肌生物学提供了新的见解,并为肌病理提供了潜在的治疗点.

In-vitro Mutagenesis

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Dosage Compensation

Dosage Compensation

In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...

X-Inactivation

X-Inactivation

The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.

Role of Matrix Metalloproteases in Degradation of ECM

Role of Matrix Metalloproteases in Degradation of ECM

Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of proteins and glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are essential for the migration and proliferation of cells through the dense matrix network, throughout embryonic development, and throughout morphogenesis. The first MMP activity discovered was a collagenase in a tadpole's tail undergoing metamorphosis. The active collagen deposition and modifications lead to the morphogenesis of tadpoles into the adult...
