Although RhoA activity is necessary for promoting myogenic mesenchymal stem cell fates, recent studies in cultured cells suggest that down-regulation of RhoA activity in specified myoblasts is required for subsequent differentiation and myotube formation. However, whether this phenomenon occurs in vivo and which Rho modifiers control these later events remain unclear. We found that expression of the Rho-GTPase-activating protein, GRAF1, was transiently up-regulated during myogenesis, and studies in C2C12 cells revealed that GRAF1 is necessary and sufficient for mediating RhoA down-regulation and inducing muscle differentiation. Moreover, forced expression of GRAF1 in pre-differentiated myoblasts drives robust muscle fusion by a process that requires GTPase-activating protein-dependent actin remodeling and BAR-dependent membrane binding or sculpting. Moreover, morpholino-based knockdown studies in Xenopus laevis determined that GRAF1 expression is critical for muscle development. GRAF1-depleted embryos exhibited elevated RhoA activity and defective myofibrillogenesis that resulted in progressive muscle degeneration, defective motility, and embryonic lethality. Our results are the first to identify a GTPase-activating protein that regulates muscle maturation and to highlight the functional importance of BAR domains in myotube formation. 相似文献

During myogenesis, mononucleated myoblasts form multinucleated myotubes by membrane fusion. Efficiency of this intercellular process can be maximized by a simultaneous progress, with a time window, of other neighboring myoblasts in the differentiation program. This phenomenon has been described as the community effect. It proposes the existence of a molecule that acts as a differentiation-inducing signal to a group of identical cells. Here, we show that neuregulin is a strong candidate for this molecule in myoblast differentiation. The expression of neuregulin increased rapidly but transiently at early stage of differentiation of rat L6 cells. Neuregulin showed a potent differentiation-promoting activity in membrane fusion and expression of myosin heavy chain. The antibodies raised against neuregulin and its cognate receptor ErbB3, which were capable of neutralizing the signal pathway, inhibited myotube formation and expression of myosin heavy chain in both L6 cells and primary rat myoblasts. The progress of differentiation was mostly halted after the expression of myogenin and cell cycle arrest. These results suggest that the activation of an autocrine signaling of neuregulin may provide a basic mechanism for the community effect observed in the differentiation of the embryonic muscle cells. 相似文献

A role for integrin in the formation of sarcomeric cytoarchitecture 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
We propose that integrins help to coordinate the differentiation of the internal, sarcomeric cytoarchitecture of a muscle fiber with its immediate environment and are essential for correct integration of muscle cells into tissue. We found that integrin alpha PS2 beta PS accumulated at contact regions of Drosophila embryo cells cultured in D-22 medium on Drosophila laminin. Myotubes formed, but subsequent addition of serum or fibronectin was needed for sarcomere formation: integrin and actin became concentrated at Z-bands; myosin and actin occurred between the Z-bands. This change failed to occur in the multinucleate myotubes derived from integrin beta PS null myospheroid mutants. In normal embryos/early larvae, integrin was located at Z-bands and at muscle insertions. Myogenesis and Z-bands were defective in myospheroid embryos. Attachment, spreading, and growth of myoblasts and neurons on the laminin substrate utilized different binding proteins and were independent of integrin. 相似文献

Pannexins constitute a family of three glycoproteins (Panx1, -2, and -3) forming single membrane channels. Recent work demonstrated that Panx1 is expressed in skeletal muscle and involved in the potentiation of contraction. However, Panxs functions in skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and proliferation had yet to be assessed. We show here that Panx1 and Panx3, but not Panx2, are present in human and rodent skeletal muscle, and their various species are differentially expressed in fetal versus adult human skeletal muscle tissue. Panx1 levels were very low in undifferentiated human primary skeletal muscle cells and myoblasts (HSMM) but increased drastically during differentiation and became the main Panx expressed in differentiated cells. Using HSMM, we found that Panx1 expression promotes this process, whereas it was impaired in the presence of probenecid or carbenoxolone. As for Panx3, its lower molecular weight species were prominent in adult skeletal muscle but very low in the fetal tissue and in undifferentiated skeletal muscle cells and myoblasts. Its overexpression (∼43-kDa species) induced HSMM differentiation and also inhibited their proliferation. On the other hand, a ∼70-kDa immunoreactive species of Panx3, likely glycosylated, sialylated, and phosphorylated, was highly expressed in proliferative myoblasts but strikingly down-regulated during their differentiation. Reduction of its endogenous expression using two Panx3 shRNAs significantly inhibited HSMM proliferation without triggering their differentiation. In summary, our results demonstrate that Panx1 and Panx3 are co-expressed in human skeletal muscle myoblasts and play a pivotal role in dictating the proliferation and differentiation status of these cells. 相似文献

Emerin is an ubiquitous protein localized at the nuclear membrane of most cell types including muscle cells. The protein is absent in most patients affected by the X-linked form of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, a disease characterized by slowly progressive muscle wasting and weakness, early contractures of the elbows, Achilles tendons, and post-cervical muscles, and cardiomyopathy. Besides the nuclear localization, emerin cytoplasmic distribution has been suggested in several cell types. We studied the expression and the subcellular distribution of emerin in mouse cultured C2C12 myoblasts and in primary cultures of human myoblasts induced to differentiate or spontaneously differentiating in the culture medium. In differentiating myoblasts transiently transfected with a cDNA encoding the complete emerin sequence, the protein localized at the nuclear rim of all transfected cells and also in the cytoplasm of some myoblasts and myotubes. Cytoplasmic emerin was also observed in detergent-treated myotubes, as determined by electron microscopy observation. Both immunofluorescence and biochemical analysis showed, that upon differentiation of C2C12 cells, emerin expression was decreased in the resting myoblasts but the protein was highly represented in the developing myotubes at the early stage of cell fusion. Labeling with specific markers of myogenesis such as troponin-T and myogenin permitted the correlation of increased emerin expression with the onset of muscle differentiation. These data suggest a role for emerin during proliferation of activated satellite cells and at the early stages of differentiation. 相似文献

Substrata, plating densities and tissue culture media were compared for their effects on the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts from skeletal muscle of rainbow trout. Mononuclear cells were isolated from the lateralis muscle of 4–11-month-old trout and plated on to glass coverslips coated with fibronectin, laminin or Matrigel. Cell proliferation was estimated by determining the density of nuclei on successive days in culture, and myoblast differentiation was detected by immunostaining cultures with the myosin-specific monoclonal antibody MF20. Mononuclear cell proliferation was highest for cells cultured on fibronectin or laminin and lowest for cells cultured on Matrigel, but the total number of nuclei in myosin-positive cells did not differ between substrata. The percentage of nuclei in myosin-positive myocytes and myotubes was significantly higher for cells cultured on Matrigel. The proportion of cells adhering to Matrigel and undergoing differentiation increased with plating density. Of three media tested, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), RPMI 1640 (RPMI), Leibovitz's L-15 (L-15) supplemented with 1 or 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), a significantly greater proportion of the myoblasts differentiated when cells were cultured in L-15+ 10% FBS. These results suggest that culturing trout muscle-derived cells on a substratum of Matrigel at a high density and maintaining cells in L-15+ 10% FBS provide the conditions that maximize the proportion of cells that actively synthesize muscle myosin and facilitate trout myoblast differentiation in vitro . 相似文献

Summary We developed a new cell stimulation method in which magnetic microparticles (MPs) were introduced into the cytoplasm of cultured
myoblasts and the cells were cultured in a magnetic field. The differentiation of myoblasts was examined from the viewpoint
of their morphology and myogenin production. After exposure to the magnetic field, the cells containing MPs became larger
and were elongated along the axis of the magnetic poles. Myogenin, a muscle-specific regulatory factor involved in controlling
myogenesis, was formed earlier, and myotubes were seen earlier and more frequently in this group of myoblasts than in the
other groups (cells alone without magnetic field, cells containing MPs but without magnetic field, and cells alone with magnetic
field). Moreover, we succeeded in differentiation of early muscle cells with striated myofibrils in culture at 0.05 T. The
precisely quantitative and stable stimulus induced by a magnetic field developed in the present study offers a new approach
to elucidate the entire process of myoblast differentiation into myotubes. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle cells and adipose cells have a close relationship in developmental lineage. Our previous study has shown that the heterokaryons between quail myoblasts and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells (preadipocytes) normally differentiated into myotubes, whereas the heterokaryons between myoblasts and differentiated 3T3-L1 cells (adipocytes) failed myogenic differentiation. These results suggest differences between preadipocytes and adipocytes. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether preadipocytes have flexibility in differentiation before terminal adipose differentiation. Presumptive quail myoblasts transformed with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus (QM-RSV cells) and mouse 3T3-L1 cells (either preadipocytes or adipocytes) were co-cultured for 48 h under conditions allowing myogenic differentiation. On co-culture between myoblasts and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells, heterokaryotic myotubes formed spontaneously, but not on co-culture with differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, the heterokaryotic myotubes expressed mouse myogenin derived from the 3T3-L1 cell gene. Our previous study indicated that the fusion sensitivity of differentiating myoblasts change with decreasing cholesterol of the cell membrane during myoblast fusion. Thus we compared the level of membrane cholesterol between undifferentiated and differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. The result showed that the level of membrane cholesterol in 3T3-L1 cells increases during adipose differentiation. Corresponding to the increase in membrane cholesterol content, differentiated 3T3-L1 cells had lower sensitivity to HVJ (Sendai virus)-mediated cell fusion than undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells. This study demonstrated that 3T3-L1 cells at an undifferentiated state have a capacity for spontaneous fusion with differentiating myoblasts following myogenic differentiation, and that the capacity is lost after terminal adipose differentiation. 相似文献

Many reports have shown that tongue striated muscles have several unique characteristics not found in other skeletal muscles such as limb and trunk. Several peptide growth factors are reported to play important roles in skeletal myogenesis. In this article, the roles of insulin-like growth factors (IGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha in mouse tongue myogenesis were studied using an organ culture system of the mandible or tongue obtained from mouse embryos. It was found that IGF-I promotes the differentiation of tongue myoblasts. HGF plays an essential role in the migration and proliferation of tongue myogenic cells, and inhibits the differentiation of tongue myoblasts. TGF-alpha does not play an essential role in the proliferation of tongue myogenic cells, but does promote the early differentiation of tongue myoblasts. The role of IGF-I in the differentiation of tongue myoblasts, and that of HGF in the migration, proliferation and differentiation of tongue myogenic cells appear to be almost identical to their roles in the myogenesis of limb and cultured myogenic cell lines. However, the role of TGF-alpha in the proliferation and differentiation of tongue myogenic cells appears to be different from its role in the myogenesis of limb and cultured myogenic cell lines such as C2 and L6. 相似文献

Xenogeneic antisera raised in rabbits have been used to detect compositional changes at the cell surfaces of differentiating embryonic chick skeletal muscle. In this report, we present the serological characterization of antiserum (Anti-M-24) against muscle tissue and developmental stage-specific cell surface antigens of the prefusion myoblast. Cells from primary cultures of 12-d-old embryonic chick hindlimb muscle were injected into rabbits, and the resulting antisera were selectively absorbed to obtain immunological specificity. Cytotoxicity and immunohistochemical assays were used to test this antiserum. Absorption with embryonic or adult chick heart, brain, retina, liver, erythrocytes, or skeletal muscle fibroblasts failed to remove all reactivity of Anti-M-24 for myogenic cells at all stages of development. After absorption with embryonic myotubes, however, Anti-M-24 no longer reacted with differentiated myofibers, but did react with prefusion myoblasts. The myoblast surface antigens detected with Anti-M-24 are components of the muscle cell membrane: (a) these macromolecules are free to diffuse laterally within the myoblast membrane; (b) Anti-M-24, in the presence of complement, induced lysis of the muscle cell membrane; and (c) intact monolayers of viable myoblasts completely absorbed reactivity of Anti-M-24 for myoblasts. These antigens are not loosely adsorbed culture medium components or an artifact of tissue culture because: (a) absorption of Anti-M-24 with homogenized embryonic muscle removed all antibodies to cultured myoblasts; (b) Anti-M-24 reacted with myoblast surfaces in vivo; and (c) absorption of Anti-M-24 with culture media did not affect the titer of this antiserum for myoblasts. We conclude that myogenic cells at all stages of development possess externally exposed antigens which are undetected on other embryonic and adult chick tissues. In addition, myoblasts exhibit surface antigenic determinants that are either masked, absent, or present in very low concentrations on skeletal muscle fibroblasts, embryonic myotubes, or adult myofibers. These antigens are free to diffuse laterally within the myoblast membrane and may be modulated in response to appropriate environmental cues during myodifferentiation. 相似文献

The transplantation of cultured myoblasts into mature skeletal muscle is the basis for a new therapeutic approach to muscle and non-muscle diseases: myoblast-mediated gene therapy. The success of myoblast transplantation for correction of intrinsic muscle defects depends on the fusion of implanted cells with host myofibers. Previous studies in mice have been problematic because they have involved transplantation of established myogenic cell lines or primary muscle cultures. Both of these cell populations have disadvantages: myogenic cell lines are tumorigenic, and primary cultures contain a substantial percentage of non-myogenic cells which will not fuse to host fibers. Furthermore, for both cell populations, immune suppression of the host has been necessary for long-term retention of transplanted cells. To overcome these difficulties, we developed novel culture conditions that permit the purification of mouse myoblasts from primary cultures. Both enriched and clonal populations of primary myoblasts were characterized in assays of cell proliferation and differentiation. Primary myoblasts were dependent on added bFGF for growth and retained the ability to differentiate even after 30 population doublings. The fate of the pure myoblast populations after transplantation was monitored by labeling the cells with the marker enzyme beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) using retroviral mediated gene transfer. Within five days of transplantation into muscle of mature mice, primary myoblasts had fused with host muscle cells to form hybrid myofibers. To examine the immunobiology of primary myoblasts, we compared transplanted cells in syngeneic and allogeneic hosts. Even without immune suppression, the hybrid fibers persisted with continued beta-gal expression up to six months after myoblast transplantation in syngeneic hosts. In allogeneic hosts, the implanted cells were completely eliminated within three weeks. To assess tumorigenicity, primary myoblasts and myoblasts from the C2 myogenic cell line were transplanted into immunodeficient mice. Only C2 myoblasts formed tumors. The ease of isolation, growth, and transfection of primary mouse myoblasts under the conditions described here expand the opportunities to study muscle cell growth and differentiation using myoblasts from normal as well as mutant strains of mice. The properties of these cells after transplantation--the stability of resulting hybrid myofibers without immune suppression, the persistence of transgene expression, and the lack of tumorigenicity-- suggest that studies of cell-mediated gene therapy using primary myoblasts can now be broadly applied to mouse models of human muscle and non-muscle diseases. 相似文献

Myoblasts isolated from duck embryonic muscle were purified and in vitro cultured. External characteristics were observed
by using the immunofluorescence technique, and growth curve of duck embryonic myoblasts was established after measuring with
the MTT method. Moreover, mRNA expression of three marker genes, the Desmin, the muscle creatine kinase (Mck) and the troponin C (Tnnc), which could reflect the development status of myofibers, were detected each 24 h for cultured cells by using the qPCR technique.
Results showed that the in vitro cultured duck myoblasts went through a series of developmental stages, including the proliferation
of myoblasts, the differentiation of multi-nuclei myotubes, and the formation of myofiber. The cultured duck embryonic myoblasts
entered into a logarithmic stage approximately on the fourth day after seeding. Accompanying with its progressive growth before
entering into the logarithmic phase, the myoblasts also showed some differentiation phenomena, reflected by a low expression
level of Desmin and high expression level of the Mck and Tnnc genes. During the rapid growth of the logarithmic phase, there was a high expression of the Desmin gene, and a low expression level of the Mck gene and the Tnnc gene in the cultured myoblasts. The expression profiles of the three marker genes for muscle development could be used for
distinguishing the different developmental stages of in vitro cultured myoblasts at the molecular level, which would be more
accurate and more feasible than observing the external characteristics of the cultured cells. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51) expression was analyzed in proliferating and differentiating human myogenic cells cultured in vitro. Satellite cell cultures derived from four different individuals were used in this study. To analyze the expression of PTPIP51, myoblasts were cultured under conditions promoting either proliferation or differentiation. In addition, further differentiation of already-differentiated myobtubes was inhibited by resubmitting the cells to conditions promoting proliferation. PTPIP51 protein and mRNA were investigated in samples taken at defined time intervals by immunostaining, immunoblotting, in situ hybridization, and PCR. Image analyses of fluorescence immunostainings were used to quantify PTPIP51 in cultured myoblasts and myotubes. Myoblasts grown in the presence of epidermal and fibroblast growth factors (EGF and FGF), both promoting proliferation, expressed PTPIP51 on a basic level. Differentiation to multinuclear myotubes displayed a linear increase in PTPIP51 expression. The rise in PTPIP51 protein was paralleled by an augmented expression of muscle-specific proteins, namely, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase and myosin heavy-chain protein, both linked to a progressive state of myotubal differentiation. This differentiation-induced increase in PTPIP51 was partly reversible by resubmission of differentiated myotubes to conditions boosting proliferation. The results clearly point toward a strong association between PTPIP51 expression and differentiation in human muscle cells. (J Histochem Cytochem 57:425–435, 2009) 相似文献

Relatively small numbers of cells cultured from chick embryo spinal cord had the property of inhibiting muscle cell growth and differentiation, as measured by protein synthesis, myoglobin synthesis, and myotube formation, when they had been in culture 4 days before the addition of dispersed muscles cells. Inhibition of pectoral white muscle and thigh red muscle development in culture was similar. Inhibition of this sort was not brought about by similar cocultivation with cells from liver, gizzard, intestine, lung, or skin, although skin cultures were slightly inhibitory. Simultaneous cocultivation of muscle and cord cells failed to result in inhibition of myogenesis. The inhibitory property was present in the medium, and inhibition was reduced by removal of conditioned medium and replenishment with fresh medium before introduction of myoblasts. Medium obtained from other tissues, similarly cultured, did not possess inhibitory properties. The inhibitiory properties of “cord-conditioned” medium were related to a factor or factors able to be concentrated by lyophilization and of relatively low molecular weight, as measured by membrane ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography. The nature of the cell type in spinal cord, e.g., neuronal glial, responsible for the production of this factor is not known. 相似文献

Previously, we found that suppressing phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C could induce neuronal differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells in the absence of serum and fibroblast growth factor. It is well known that basic fibroblast growth factor plays an important role in mesenchymal stem cell neuronal differentiation. In this study, our purpose was to understand the cooperation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C and basic fibroblast growth factor in controlling mesenchymal stem cell neuronal differentiation. Our results showed that suppressing phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor could induce cell neuronal differentiation and the viability of the differentiated cells was obviously increased. Furthermore, we found that the resting membrane potential of the differentiated cells gradually decreased, but the mitochondrial membrane potential rose with increasing treatment time and these characteristics were similar to cultured neurons from mouse embryo forebrains. To determine the possible mechanism by which this combination controls cell neuronal differentiation, we measured changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential and in the levels of reactive oxygen species. The results showed that both the mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species levels decreased when basic fibroblast growth factor was added. The data suggested that lower phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C activity was required for mesenchymal stem cell neuronal differentiation and basic fibroblast growth factor was necessary for maintaining the neuronal differentiation state. Moreover, basic fibroblast growth factor could contribute to rescuing the differentiated cells from death through decreasing overly high mitochondrial membrane potentials and reactive oxygen species levels. 相似文献

Myofibroblasts are one of the key cellular components involved in fibrosis of skeletal muscle as well as in other tissues. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) stimulates differentiation of mesenchymal cells into myofibroblasts, but little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of myofibroblastic differentiation. Since Notch2 was shown to be downregulated in TGF-beta1-induced non-muscle fibrogenic tissue, we investigated whether Notch2 also has a distinctive role in myofibroblastic differentiation of myogenic cells induced by TGF-beta1. TGF-beta1 treatment of C2C12 myoblasts led to expression of myofibroblastic marker alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and collagen I with concomitant downregulation of Notch2 expression. Overexpression of active Notch2 inhibited TGF-beta1-induced expression of alpha-SMA and collagen I. Interestingly, transient knockdown of Notch2 by siRNA in C2C12 myoblasts and primary cultured muscle-derived progenitor cells resulted in differentiation into myofibroblastic cells expressing alpha-SMA and collagen I without TGF-beta1 treatment. Furthermore, we found Notch3 was counter-regulated by Notch2 in C2C12 cells. These findings suggest that Notch2 is inhibiting differentiation of myoblasts into myofibroblasts with downregulation of Notch3 expression. 相似文献

The differentiation of skeletal muscle is characterized by recognition, alignment, and subsequent fusion of myoblast cells at their surfaces to form large, multinucleated myotubes. Monoclonal antibodies were used to investigate anti-genie changes in the cell surface membrane specific for various stages of myogenesis. Chick embryonic skeletal muscle cells were cultured in vitro to the desired stage of differentiation and then injected into BALB/c mice. Spleen cells from the immunized mice were hybridized with NS-1 or P3 8653 mouse myeloma cells. Hybrid cell clones were selected in HAT medium and screened using an indirect radioimmunoassay for the production of monoclonal antibodies specific to myogenic cell surfaces. Target cells for the radioimmunoassay included three stages of myogenesis (myoblasts, midfusion myoblasts, and myotubes) and chick lung cells as a control for polymorphic antigens. Sixty-one clones were obtained which produced antibodies specific for myogenic cells. Thirty-five of these clones were generated from mice immunized with midfusion myoblast stages of myogenesis and 26 were obtained from mice immunized with the later myotube stage of myogenesis. Quantitative measurements by RIA of myogenic determinants per cell surface area on each target cell type revealed that most of the determinants decrease during myogenesis when midfusion myoblasts are used as the immunogen. When myotube stages are used as the immunogen, more determinants increase with cell differentiation. Therefore, the most common pattern of determinant change is for them to be present at all stages of myogenesis but to vary quantitively through development. There are determinants unique to each stage of myogenesis and marked quantitative differences within a cell stage for each determinant. 相似文献
