The heparan sulfate proteoglycan, glypican-1, is a low affinity receptor for fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Fibroblast growth factor 2 is a potent stimulator of skeletal muscle cell proliferation and an inhibitor of differentiation. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans like glypican-1 are required for FGF2 to transduce an intracellular signal. Understanding the role of glypican-1 in the regulation of FGF2-mediated signaling is important in furthering the understanding of the biological processes involved in muscle development and growth. In the current study, a turkey glypican-1 expression vector construct was transfected into turkey myogenic satellite cells resulting in the overexpression of glypican-1. The proliferation, differentiation, and responsiveness to FGF2 were measured in control and transfected cell cultures. The overexpression of glypican-1 in turkey myogenic satellite cells increased both satellite cell proliferation and FGF2 responsiveness, but decreased the rate of differentiation. The current data support glypican-1 modulation of both proliferation and differentiation through an FGF2-mediated pathway.  相似文献

Myostatin (GDF-8) inhibits the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of myogenic satellite cells. The relative importance of this growth factor is demonstrated in myostatin-null mice and cattle possessing defective myostatin genes. These defects result in greatly enhanced musculature. In the present study, we examined the effect of myostatin on turkey myogenic satellite cells and embryonic myoblasts. Compared with controls (P<0.05), proliferation of both turkey embryonic myoblasts and satellite cells was inhibited between 26 and 45% in serum-free medium containing 20 ng/mL myostatin. While individual turkey satellite cell clones differed in their responsiveness to myostatin, there were no significant differences in the responsiveness of fast and slow growing cells as groups (P>0.05). A slow growing clone that exhibited the greatest response to myostatin also exhibited the greatest depression of differentiation with this growth factor (P<0.05). All other turkey satellite cell clones exhibited similar responses to the differentiation depressing effects of myostatin (P>0.05). However, myostatin had no effect on differentiation of turkey embryonic myoblasts (P>0.05). When exposed to myostatin, 4 of 6 proliferating clones and all differentiating clones increased their expression of decorin, a growth inhibitor (P<0.05). The present study demonstrates that myostatin inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells and suggests a role for decorin in myostatin action in muscle development.  相似文献

To determine if differential response to growth factor stimuli between subpopulations of satellite cells was due to variation in the levels of activated intracellular signaling proteins, the levels of phospho-MAPK (phospho-ERK 1/2) were determined in clonal populations of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) satellite cells. Relative levels of phospho-ERK 1/2 between clones were determined by Western blotting of extracts from satellite cells exposed to growth factor stimuli. Initial measurements using serum mitogenic stimuli showed differences in phospho-MAPK levels between the clonal subpopulations, but the responses did not correlate with proliferation rates of the individual clones (P>0.05). IGF-I alone did not increase phospho-MAPK levels compared to unstimulated controls (P>0.05), whereas FGF-2 did increase levels (P<0.05). A synergistic response was seen in satellite cells as well as embryonic myoblasts administered both IGF-I and FGF-2. When administered FGF-2 and IGF-I, 2 of the slow growing satellite cell clones exhibited lowest levels of phospho-MAPK (P<0.05). One of the slow growing clones had levels of phospho-MAPK similar to the three fast growing clones (P>0.05). The results suggest that variation in responsiveness to growth factor stimuli among satellite cell populations within muscles may be due to several different reasons. Some differences in cell responsiveness appear to be due to variation in phospho-MAPK generation.  相似文献

Syndecan-4 is a cell membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is composed of a core protein and covalently attached glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains. Syndecan-4 has been shown to function independent of its GAG chains. Syndecan-4 may derive its biological function from the N-glycosylated chains due to the biological role of N-glycosylated chains in protein folding and cell membrane localization. The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of syndecan-4 N-glycosylated chains and the interaction between GAG and N-glycosylated chains in turkey myogenic satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) responsiveness. The wild type turkey syndecan-4 and the syndecan-4 without GAG chains were cloned into the expression vector pCMS-EGFP and used as templates to generate syndecan-4 N-glycosylated one-chain and no-chain mutants with or without GAG chains. The wild type syndecan-4, all of the syndecan-4 N-glycosylated chain mutants were transfected into turkey myogenic satellite cells. Cell proliferation, differentiation, and responsiveness to FGF2 were measured. The overexpression of syndecan-4 N-glycosylated mutants with or without GAG chains did not change cell proliferation, differentiation, and responsiveness to FGF2 compared to the wild type syndecan-4 except that the overexpression of syndecan-4 N-glycosylated mutants without GAG chains increased cell proliferation at 48 and 72 h post-transfection. These data suggest that syndecan-4 functions in an FGF2-independent manner, and the N-glycosylated and GAG chains are required for syndecan-4 to regulate turkey myogenic satellite cell proliferation, but not differentiation.  相似文献

Myogenic satellite cells are heterogeneous multipotential stem cells that are required for muscle repair, maintenance, and growth. The membrane‐associated heparan sulfate proteoglycans syndecan‐4 and glypican‐1 differentially regulate satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) signal transduction, and expression of the myogenic regulatory factors MyoD and myogenin. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of age on syndecan‐4 and glypican‐1 satellite cell populations, proliferation, differentiation, FGF2 responsiveness, and expression of syndecan‐4, glypican‐1, MyoD, and myogenin using satellite cells isolated from the pectoralis major muscle of 1‐day‐old, 7‐week‐old and 16‐week‐old turkeys. Proliferation was significantly reduced in the 16‐week‐old satellite cells, while differentiation was decreased in the 7‐week‐old and the 16‐week‐old cells beginning at 48 h of differentiation. Fibroblast growth factor 2 responsiveness was highest in the 1‐day‐old and 7‐week‐old cells during proliferation; during differentiation there was an age‐dependent response to FGF2. Syndecan‐4 and glypican‐1 satellite cell populations decreased with age, but syndecan‐4 and glypican‐1 were differentially expressed with age during proliferation and differentiation. MyoD and myogenin mRNA expression was significantly decreased in 16‐week‐old cells compared to the 1‐day‐old and 7‐week‐old cells. MyoD and myogenin protein expression was higher during proliferation in the 16‐week‐old cells and decreased with differentiation. These data demonstrate an age‐dependent effect on syndecan‐4 and glypican‐1 satellite cell subpopulations, which may be associated with age‐related changes in proliferation, differentiation, FGF2 responsiveness, and the expression of the myogenic regulatory factors MyoD and myogenin.  相似文献

The human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 differ in their responsiveness to fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). This growth factor stimulates proliferation in well-differentiated MCF-7 cells, whereas the less well-differentiated MDA-MB-231 cells are insensitive to this molecule. To investigate the potential regulation of FGF-2 mitogenic activity by heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), we have treated human breast cancer cells by glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes or a metabolic inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation: sodium chlorate. The interaction between FGF-2 and proteoglycans was assayed by examining the binding of125I-FGF-2 to breast cancer cell cultures as well as to cationic membranes loaded with HSPG. Using MCF-7 cells, we showed that heparinase treatment inhibited FGF-2 binding to HSPG and completely abolished FGF-2 induced growth; chlorate treatment of MCF-7 cells decreased FGF-2 binding to HSPG and cell responsiveness in a dose-dependent manner. This demonstrates a requirement of adequately sulfated HSPG for FGF-2 growth-promoting activity on MCF-7 cells. In highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cells which produce twice as much HSPG as MCF-7 cells and which are not normally responsive to exogenously added FGF-2, chlorate treatment decreased FGF-2 binding to HSPG and induced FGF-2 mitogenic effect. This chlorate effect was dose dependent and observed at concentrations of 10–30 mM;higher chlorate concentrations completely abolished the FGF-2 effect. This shows that the HSPG level of sulfation can also negatively regulate the biological activity of FGF-2. Taken together, these results demonstrate a crucial role for HSPG in both positive and negative control of FGF-2 mitogenic activity in breast cancer cell proliferation.  相似文献

Syndecan-4 is composed of a core protein and covalently attached glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains. The core protein is divided into extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. The cytoplasmic domain has two conserved regions and a variable region in the middle. The Ser residue in the conserved region 1 and the Tyr residue in the variable region are important in regulating protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) membrane localization and focal adhesion formation. The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of syndecan-4 Ser and Tyr residues in combination with the GAG and N-glycosylated chains in turkey satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) responsiveness, and PKCα membrane localization. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate Ser and Tyr mutants with or without GAG and N-glycosylated chains. The wild type and mutant syndecan-4 constructs were transfected into turkey satellite cells. The over-expression of Ser and Tyr mutants increased cell proliferation and differentiation and decreased membrane localization of PKCα. Furthermore, Ser mutants enhanced cellular responsiveness to FGF2. The results from this study are the first demonstration of a role of syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain Ser and Tyr residues in regulating satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and the modulation of cellular responsiveness to FGF2.  相似文献

Syndecan-4 core protein is composed of extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. The cytoplasmic domain functions in transmitting signals into the cell through the protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) pathway. The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains attached to the extracellular domain influence cell proliferation. The current study investigated the function of syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain in combination with GAG and N-glycosylated chains in turkey muscle cell proliferation, differentiation, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) responsiveness, and PKCα membrane localization. Syndecan-4 or syndecan-4 without the cytoplasmic domain and with or without the GAG and N-glycosylated chains were transfected or co-transfected with a small interfering RNA targeting syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain into turkey muscle satellite cells. The overexpression of syndecan-4 mutants increased cell proliferation but did not change differentiation. Syndecan-4 mutants had increased cellular responsiveness to FGF2 during proliferation. Syndecan-4 increased PKCα cell membrane localization, whereas the syndecan-4 mutants decreased PKCα cell membrane localization compared to syndecan-4. However, compared to the cells without transfection, syndecan-4 mutants increased cell membrane localization of PKCα. These data indicated that the syndecan‐4 cytoplasmic domain and the GAG and N-glycosylated chains are critical in syndecan-4 regulating satellite cell proliferation, responsiveness to FGF2, and PKCα cell membrane localization.  相似文献

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration. We have studied the effect of three inhibitors of proliferation on35S incorporation into HSPG of the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 and the normal breast epithelial cells (NBEC). Transforming growth factor β-1 (TGFβ-1), which inhibits the proliferation of NBEC, but not of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, cells induced an increase in35S incorporation of HSPG in NBEC, but had no effect on cancer cells. Sodium butyrate (NaB), which inhibits NBEC as well as cancer cell proliferation, induced an increase in35S incorporation into HSPG in all cell types studied. In contrast, retinoic acid had no effect on HSPG of breast epithelial cells. Modification of HSPG induced by TGFβ-1 or NaB treatments in normal and breast cancer epithelial cells resulted in an increase in125I-fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) binding on HSPG. More importantly, NaB pretreatment resulted in an inhibition of the MCF-7 cell responsiveness to FGF-2, even though these cells remained sensitive to growth stimulation induced by serum or epidermal growth factor. These results indicate that changes in HSPG production are a key process involved in the mechanism of breast epithelial cell growth regulation.  相似文献

Stroma and the heparin-binding fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family influence normal epithelial cell growth and differentiation in embryonic and adult tissues. The role of stromal cells and the expression of isoforms of the FGF ligand and receptor family were examined during malignant progression of epithelial cells from a differentiated, slowly growing, nonmalignant model rat prostate tumor. In syngeneic hosts, a mixture of stromal and epithelial cells resulted in nonmalignant tumors which were differentiated and slowly growing. In the absence of the stromal cells, epithelial cells progressed to malignant tumors which were independent of the stroma and undifferentiated. The independence of the malignant epithelial cells from stromal cells was accompanied by a switch from exclusive expression of exon IIIb to exclusive expression of exon IIIc in the FGF receptor 2 (FGF-R2) gene. The FGF-R2(IIIb) isoform displays high affinity for stromal cell-derived FGF-7, whereas the FGF-R2(IIIc) isoform does not recognize FGF-7 but has high affinity for the FGF-2 member of the FGF ligand family. The switch from expression of exclusively exon IIIb to exclusively exon IIIc in the resident FGF-R2 gene was followed by activation of the FGF-2 ligand gene, the normally stromal cell FGF-R1 gene, and embryonic FGF-3 and FGF-5 ligand genes in malignant epithelial cells. Multiple autocrine and potentially intracrine ligand-receptor loops resulting from these alterations within the FGF-FGF-R family may underlie the autonomy of malignant tumor cells.  相似文献

Tera-2 is a human teratocarcinoma cell line, which is induced to differentiate into neuronal direction by retinoic acid. Once differentiated, the cells form an almost nondividing population that can be maintained for weeks under conventional culture conditions. If differentiation by retinoic acid is induced while the cells are growing on type I collagen or if the already-differentiated cells are transferred onto collagen, they survive only a few days unless the cultures are repeatedly supplied with FGF-2. Lack of this growth factor induces programmed cell death (apoptosis) detectable after 24–48 h, as marked by DNA cleavage and nuclear fragmentation. The undifferentiated stem cells survive and proliferate readily on collagen without addition of FGF-2. Tera-2 cells express two members of the FGF family, FGF-2 and FGF-4. The expression of both FGFs is turned off during differentiation on collagen substratum, whereas when cultivated on plain tissue culture dish, the expression of only FGF-4 becomes undetectable. The results indicate that signaling through cell surface FGF receptors is vital for the cells, and differentiation on collagen substratum results in complete extinction of the autocrine stimulatory loop.In vivo,such induction of growth factor dependency upon differentiation would result in apoptotic death of those cells which fail to find adequate conditions for continuing FGF stimulation.  相似文献

The CD44 glycoprotein is expressed in multiple isoforms on a variety of cell types where it functions as a receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility. Recently, interest has centered on CD44 heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) isoforms because of their potential to sequester heparin-binding growth factors and chemokines. Expression of these isoforms on ectodermal cells has recently been shown to regulate limb morphogenesis via presentation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 4/FGF 8 while expression on tumor cells was shown to sequester hepatocyte growth factor and promote tumor dissemination. To date, however, CD44 HSPG expression in tissue macrophages and lymphocytes has not been adequately investigated, despite the fact these cells actively synthesize growth factors and chemokines and indirect evidence that monocyte CD44 sequesters macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta. Here we show primary human monocytes rather than lymphocytes express CD44 HSPGs, but only following in vitro differentiation to macrophages or activation with the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1alpha or bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, we show these isoforms are preferentially modified with heparan rather than chondroitin sulfate, bind the macrophage-derived growth factors FGF-2, vascular endothelial growth factor, and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor with varying affinities (K(d) 25-330 nM) and in the case of FGF-2, can stimulate productive binding to the high affinity tyrosine kinase FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1). In contrast, we find no evidence for significant binding to C-C chemokines. Last, we confirm by immunofluorescent antibody staining that inflamed synovial membrane macrophages express CD44 HSPGs and that expression is greatest in cells containing high FGF-2 levels. These results suggest a paracrine role for macrophage CD44 HSPG isoforms in the regulation of growth factor action during inflammation.  相似文献

Constitutively activated Ras proteins are associated with a large number of human cancers, including those originating from skeletal muscle tissue. In this study, we show that ectopic expression of oncogenic Ras stimulates proliferation of the MM14 skeletal muscle satellite cell line in the absence of exogenously added fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). MM14 cells express FGF-1, -2, -6, and -7 and produce FGF protein, yet they are dependent on exogenously supplied FGFs to both maintain proliferation and repress terminal differentiation. Thus, the FGFs produced by these cells are either inaccessible or inactive, since the endogenous FGFs elicit no detectable biological response. Oncogenic Ras-induced proliferation is abolished by addition of an anti-FGF-2 blocking antibody, suramin, or treatment with either sodium chlorate or heparitinase, demonstrating an autocrine requirement for FGF-2. Oncogenic Ras does not appear to alter cellular export rates of FGF-2, which does not possess an NH(2)-terminal or internal signal peptide. However, oncogenic Ras does appear to be involved in releasing or activating inactive, extracellularly sequestered FGF-2. Surprisingly, inhibiting the autocrine FGF-2 required for proliferation has no effect on oncogenic Ras-mediated repression of muscle-specific gene expression. We conclude that oncogenic Ras-induced proliferation of skeletal muscle cells is mediated via a unique and novel mechanism that is distinct from Ras-induced repression of terminal differentiation and involves activation of extracellularly localized, inactive FGF-2.  相似文献

Differentiation of endothelial cells, i.e., formation of a vessel lumen, is a prerequisite for angiogenesis. The underlying molecular mechanisms are ill defined. We have studied a brain capillary endothelial cell line (IBEC) established from H-2Kb-tsA58 transgenic mice. These cells form hollow tubes in three-dimensional type I collagen gels in response to fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Culture of IBEC on collagen gels in the presence of FGF-2 protected cells from apoptosis and allowed tube formation (i.e., differentiation) but not growth of the cells. FGF-induced differentiation, but not cell survival, was inhibited by treatment of the cells with an anti-beta1-integrin IgG. Changes in integrin expression in the collagen-gel cultures could not be detected. Rather, cell-matrix interactions critical for endothelial cell differentiation were created during the culture, as indicated by the gradual increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase in the collagen-gel cultures. Inclusion of laminin in the collagen gels led to FGF-2-independent formation of tube structures, but cells were not protected from apoptosis. These data indicate that FGF receptor-1 signal transduction in this cell model results in cell survival. Through mechanisms dependent on cell-matrix interactions, possibly involving the alpha3beta1-integrin and laminin produced by the collagen-cultured IBE cells, FGF stimulation also leads to differentiation of the cells.  相似文献

Glypican-1 is a cell membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan. It is composed of a core protein with covalently attached glycosaminoglycan, and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains, and is attached to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. Glypican-1 plays a key role in the growth and development of muscle by regulating fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). The GPI anchor of glypican-1 can be cleaved, resulting in glypican-1 being secreted or shed into the extracellular matrix environment. The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of glypican-1 shedding and the glycosaminoglycan and N-glycosylated chains in regulating the differentiation of turkey myogenic satellite cells. A glypican-1 construct without the GPI anchor was cloned into the mammalian expression vector pCMS-EGFP, and glypican-1 without the GPI anchor and glycosaminoglycan and N-glycosylated chains were also cloned. These constructs were co-transfected into turkey myogenic satellite cells with a small interference RNA targeting the GPI anchor of endogenous glypican-1. The soluble glypican-1 mutants were not detected in the satellite cells but in the cell medium, suggesting the secretion of the soluble glypican-1 mutants. Soluble glypican-1 increased satellite cell differentiation and enhanced myotube formation in the presence of exogenous FGF2. The increase in differentiation was supported by the elevated expression of myogenin. In conclusion, the shedding of glypican-1 from the satellite cell surface acts as a positive regulator of satellite cell differentiation and sequesters FGF2, permitting further differentiation.  相似文献

A divalent cation-dependent association between heparin or heparan sulfate and the ectodomain of the FGF receptor kinase (FGFR) restricts FGF-independent trans-phosphorylation and supports the binding of activating FGF to self-associated FGFR. Here we show that in contrast to heparin, cellular heparan sulfate forms a binary complex with FGFR that discriminates between FGF-1 and FGF-2. FGFR type 4 (FGFR4) in liver parenchymal cells binds only FGF-1, whereas FGFR1 binds FGF-1 and FGF-2 equally. Cell-free complexes of heparin and recombinant FGFR4 bound FGF-1 and FGF-2 equally. However, in contrast to FGFR1, when recombinant FGFR4 was expressed back in epithelial cells by transfection, it failed to bind FGF-2 unless heparan sulfate was depressed by chlorate or heparinase treatment. Isolated heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) from liver cells in cell-free complexes with FGFR4 restored the specificity for FGF-1 and supported the binding of both FGF-1 and FGF-2 when complexed with FGFR1. In contrast, FGF-2 bound equally well to complexes of both FGFR1 and FGFR4 formed with endothelial cell-derived HSPG, but the endothelial HSPG was deficient for the binding of FGF-1 to both FGFR complexes. These data suggest that a heparan sulfate subunit is a cell type- and FGFR-specific determinant of the selectivity of the FGFR signaling complex for FGF. In a physiological context, the heparan sulfate subunit may limit the redundancy among the current 18 FGF polypeptides for the 4 known FGFR.  相似文献

The role of the matricellular protein SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine) in modulation of vascular cell proliferation is believed to be mediated, in part, by its ability to regulate the activity of certain growth factors through direct binding. In this study, we demonstrate that SPARC does not bind to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/FGF-2) or interfere with complex formation between FGF-2 and its high-affinity FGF receptor-1 (FGFR1), yet both native SPARC and a peptide derived from the C-terminal high-affinity Ca(2+)-binding region of protein significantly inhibit ligand-induced autophosphorylation of FGFR1 (>80%), activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) (>75%), and DNA synthesis in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) stimulated by FGF-2 (>80%). We also report that in the presence of FGF-2, a factor which otherwise stimulates myoblast proliferation and the repression of terminal differentiation, both native SPARC and the Ca(2+)-binding SPARC peptide significantly promote (>60%) the differentiation of the MM14 murine myoblast cell line that expresses FGFR1 almost exclusively. Moreover, using heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG)-deficient myeloid cells and porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAECs) expressing chimeric FGFR1, we show that antagonism of FGFR1-mediated DNA synthesis and MAPK activation by SPARC does not require the presence of cell-surface, low-affinity FGF-2 receptors, but can be mediated by an intracellular mechanism that is independent of an interaction with the extracellular ligand-binding domain of FGFR1. We also report that the inhibitory effect of SPARC on DNA synthesis and MAPK activation in endothelial cells is mediated in part (>50%) by activation of protein kinase A (PKA), a known regulator of Raf-MAPK pathway. SPARC thus modulates the mitogenic effect of FGF-2 downstream from FGFR1 by selective regulation of the MAPK signaling cascade.  相似文献

Myogenesis in the embryo and the adult mammal consists of a highly organized and regulated sequence of cellular processes to form or repair muscle tissue that include cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Data from cell culture and in vivo experiments implicate both FGFs and HGF as critical regulators of these processes. Both factors require heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans for signaling from their respective receptors. Since syndecans, a family of cell-surface transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are implicated in FGF signaling and skeletal muscle differentiation, we examined the expression of syndecans 1-4 in embryonic, fetal, postnatal, and adult muscle tissue, as well as on primary adult muscle fiber cultures. We show that syndecan-1, -3, and -4 are expressed in developing skeletal muscle tissue and that syndecan-3 and -4 expression is highly restricted in adult skeletal muscle to cells retaining myogenic capacity. These two HSPGs appear to be expressed exclusively and universally on quiescent adult satellite cells in adult skeletal muscle tissue, suggesting a role for HSPGs in satellite cell maintenance or activation. Once activated, all satellite cells maintain expression of syndecan-3 and syndecan-4 for at least 96 h, also implicating these HSPGs in muscle regeneration. Inhibition of HSPG sulfation by treatment of intact myofibers with chlorate results in delayed proliferation and altered MyoD expression, demonstrating that heparan sulfate is required for proper progression of the early satellite cell myogenic program. These data suggest that, in addition to providing potentially useful new markers for satellite cells, syndecan-3 and syndecan-4 may play important regulatory roles in satellite cell maintenance, activation, proliferation, and differentiation during skeletal muscle regeneration.  相似文献

Background

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is essential to normal heart development. Yet, its contribution to cardiomyocyte differentiation from stem cells has not been systemically studied. In this study, we examined the mechanisms and characters of cardiomyocyte differentiation from FGF family protein treated embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We used mouse ES cells stably transfected with a cardiac-specific α-myosin heavy chain (αMHC) promoter-driven enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and mouse iPS cells to investigate cardiomyocyte differentiation. During cardiomyocyte differentiation from mouse ES cells, FGF-3, -8, -10, -11, -13 and -15 showed an expression pattern similar to the mesodermal marker Brachyury and the cardiovascular progenitor marker Flk-1. Among them, FGF-10 induced cardiomyocyte differentiation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. FGF-10 neutralizing antibody, small molecule FGF receptor antagonist PD173074 and FGF-10 and FGF receptor-2 short hairpin RNAs inhibited cardiomyocyte differentiation. FGF-10 also increased mouse iPS cell differentiation into cardiomyocyte lineage, and this effect was abolished by FGF-10 neutralizing antibody or PD173074. Following Gene Ontology analysis, microarray data indicated that genes involved in cardiac development were upregulated after FGF-10 treatment. In vivo, intramyocardial co-administration of FGF-10 and ES cells demonstrated that FGF-10 also promoted cardiomyocyte differentiation.

Conclusion/Significance

FGF-10 induced cardiomyocyte differentiation from ES cells and iPS cells, which may have potential for translation into clinical applications.  相似文献
