Cdk9 is a serine-threonine protein kinase that has been recognized as a regulator of cardiac differentiation. Recently, we have reported that transient induction of Cdk9 using noncoding RNA targeting Cdk9 sequences results in efficient cardiac differentiation. Concerning Cdk9 regulatory roles, here, we proposed whether constant overexpression of Cdk9 might influence the differentiation of myoblast C2C12 cells into myotubes. We overexpressed Cdk9 in mouse myoblast C2C12 cells to investigate its regulatory roles on myogenic differentiation. Upon Cdk9 overexpression, the expression level of myogenic regulatory factors was determined. Moreover, the expression profile of three important myomiRs consist of miR 1, 133 and 206 was examined during the differentiation process. Although Cdk9 expression is necessary for inducing differentiation in the early stage of myogenesis, continuous Cdk9 expression inhibits differentiation by modulating myomiRs and myogenic gene expression. Our results indicate that the transient induction of Cdk9 in the early stage of differentiation is critical for myogenesis. 相似文献

Spontaneous formation of embryoid bodies and subsequent differentiation of some cells into cardiomyocytes were demonstrated on murine embryonic stem cells of R1 line. The lines of embryonic stem cells were obtained that had been transfected with genetic constructs carrying expressing regulatory genes of the human immunodeficiency virus tat and nef and green protein gene (GFP). The transfection of embryonic stem cells with the gene tat stimulated their proliferative activity, while this activity decreased in the cells transfected with the gene nef. The time necessary for the formation of embryoid bodies by all lines of transfected cells was similar to that in the control cells. In the cultures of cells transfected with nef and tat, the number of embryoid bodies and the percentage of embryoid bodies with contracting cardiomyocytes were higher and lower than in the control, respectively. Thus, an inverse correlation was observed between the effects of regulatory genes of the human immunodeficiency virus on proliferation and differentiation embryonic stem cells. 相似文献

The present study evaluates the influence of continuous light on phenotypic sex ratios in Chirostoma estor, a temperature sex determination animal model. Relative gene expression levels of 5 day old larvae were performed on two early gonad differentiation genes (sox9 and foxl2), two stress axis activation genes (gcr1 and crf) and four reactive oxygen species (ROS) antagonist effector genes (sod2, ucp2, gsr and cat). Two light treatments were applied from fertilization; control (12L:12D) simulated natural photoperiod and a continuous illumination photoperiod. By the end of the trial (12 weeks after hatching), differentiated and normal gonads were clearly identifiable in both treatments by histological observations. Regarding sex ratio, 73% of phenotypic males were found in continuous illumination compared with 40% in controls. Consistently, the sox9 gene (involved in early testis differentiation) showed an over expression in 64% of the individual larvae analysed compared with foxl2 (ovarian differentiation) suggesting a masculinization tendency in continuous illumination. On the other hand, only 36% of individuals showed the same tendency in the control treatment consistent with phenotypic sex ratios found under normal culture conditions. Relative gene expression results did not show significant difference in sod2, ucp2 and gcr1 levels, but cat, gsr and crf showed significantly higher expression levels in the continuous illumination treatment suggesting that both, the stress axis and ROS response mechanisms were activated at this time. This study suggests, a link between continuous light, oxidative stress and environmental sex determination in vertebrates. However, further research is necessary to describe this possible upstream mechanism that may drive some aspects of sexual plasticity in vertebrates. 相似文献

Background
Regulation of production of the translational apparatus via the stringent factor ppGpp in response to amino acid starvation is conserved in many bacteria. However, in addition to this core function, it is clear that ppGpp also exhibits genus-specific regulatory effects. In this study we used Affymetrix GeneChips to more fully characterize the regulatory influence of ppGpp synthesis on the biology of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), with emphasis on the control of antibiotic biosynthesis and morphological differentiation. 相似文献5.

Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained survival in the natural environment. For the Gram‐positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis the process involves the differentiation of cell fate within an isogenic population and the production of communal goods that form the biofilm matrix. Here we review recent progress in understanding the regulatory pathways that control biofilm formation and highlight developments in understanding the composition, function and structure of the biofilm matrix. 相似文献

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of regulatory non‐coding RNAs and epigenetics in controlling the differentiation of somatic stem cells. Two major pathways characterize these fields: micro‐RNAs (miRNAs) and DNA methylation. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Lv et al show that during mammalian corticogenesis, miR‐15b inhibits cytosine demethylation by targeting Tet3, a key methylcytosine dioxygenase. This leads to the epigenetic downregulation of cyclin D1. As a result, cell cycle and differentiation of neural progenitors are altered, promoting their switch to neurogenesis. Hence, Lv et al elegantly bring together miRNAs and DNA methylation in the cell cycle control of neural progenitors and neurogenesis. 相似文献

MicroRNA are important regulators of CD4 T cell differentiation, altering the balance between the immunogenic and tolerogenic pathways. Studies in mice with microRNA‐deficient T cells have revealed defects in differentiation into the regulatory T cell lineage; however, the individual microRNA responsible have remained elusive. A recent paper in The EMBO Journal uses a systematic screen to find a novel cooperative action between an inducible and a constitutive microRNA in aiding regulatory T cell induction. 相似文献

Background
Streptomyces coelicolor is the most studied Streptomyces species and an excellent model for studying differentiation and antibiotic production. To date, many genes have been identified to be required for its differentiation (e.g. bld genes for aerial growth and whi genes for sporulation) and antibiotics production (including actII-orf4, redD, cdaR as pathway-specific regulatory genes and afsR, absA1/A2 as pleiotropic regulatory genes). 相似文献15.
Competence for cell fate determination and cellular differentiation is under tight control of regulatory genes. Yan, a nuclear
target of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling, is an E twenty six (ETS) DNA-binding protein that functions as a negative
regulator of cell differentiation and proliferation in Drosophila. Most members of RTK signaling pathways are highly conserved through evolution, yet no yan orthologues have been identified to date in vertebrates. To investigate the degree of yan conservation during evolution, we have characterized a yan homologue from a sibling species of D. melanogaster, D. virilis. Our results show that the organization, primary structure and expression pattern of yan are highly conserved. Both genes span over 20 kb and contain four exons with introns at identical positions. The areas with
highest amino acid similarity include the Pointed and ETS domain but there are other discrete regions with a high degree of
similarity. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that yan’s closest relative is the human tel gene, a negative regulator of differentiation in hematopoetic precursors. In both species, Yan is dynamically expressed beginning
as early as stage 4/5 and persisting throughout embryogenesis. In third instar larvae, Yan is expressed in and behind the
morphogenetic furrow of the eye imaginal disc as well as in the laminar precursor cells of the brain. Ovarian follicle cells
also contain Yan protein. Conservation of the structure and expression patterns of yan genes strongly suggests that regulatory mechanisms for their expression are also conserved in these two species.

AbstractThe Gram-positive bacterial genus Streptomyces possesses interesting biological aspects, such as the ability to produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites and a mycelial form of growth that culminates in sporulation. A close relationship of secondary metabolism and cell differentiation has been well recognized; secondary metabolism might be a physiological expression of cell differentiation. A variety of diffusible low-molecular-weight chemical substances have been found to function in general as regulatory factors, like “hormones” in eukaryotes, for secondary metabolism and cell differentiation. Among these factors, A-factor has been most extensively studied. This review summarizes recent research on the chemical structures, functions, biosyntheses, and mode of action of these regulatory factors. 相似文献

Pigmentation traits in adult Drosophila melanogaster were used in this study to investigate how phenotypic variations in continuous ecological traits can be maintained in a natural population. First, pigmentation variation in the adult female was measured at seven different body positions in 20 strains from the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) originating from a natural population in North Carolina. Next, to assess the contributions of cis‐regulatory polymorphisms of the genes involved in the melanin biosynthesis pathway, allele‐specific expression levels of four genes were quantified by amplicon sequencing using a 454 GS Junior. Among those genes, ebony was significantly associated with pigmentation intensity of the thoracic segment. Detailed sequence analysis of the gene regulatory regions of this gene indicated that many different functional cis‐regulatory alleles are segregating in the population and that variations outside the core enhancer element could potentially play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. In addition, a slight enrichment of distantly associated SNP pairs was observed in the ~10 kb cis‐regulatory region of ebony, which suggested the presence of interacting elements scattered across the region. In contrast, sequence analysis in the core cis‐regulatory region of tan indicated that SNPs within the region are significantly associated with allele‐specific expression level of this gene. Collectively, the data suggest that the underlying genetic differences in the cis‐regulatory regions that control intraspecific pigmentation variation can be more complex than those of interspecific pigmentation trait differences, where causal genetic changes are typically confined to modular enhancer elements. 相似文献
