Q

Lateral plate mesoderm

A
  • Anterior region forms the heart
  • Posterior region forms blood
  • Lateral/ventral forms myocardium

Q

Folding (22d)

A
  • Tubular structure formed of endocardium and myocardium
  • Myocardium and foregut are connected by dorsal mesocardium
  • Connection is lost by apoptosis and only VA poles stay connected

Q

Looping

23-4d

A
  • V pole move anteriorly to meet A pole
  • IFT and OFT fuse
  • Chambers begin to form
  • Valve precursors allow unidirectional flow

Q

Septation (35d)

A
  • Two layers of myocardium:
    Trabecular (primitive)
    Compact (more advanced)
  • Right and left side are separated

Q

Gastrulation

A
  • Epiblasts migrate inside from the primitive streak through a slit-like structure following nodal signals
  • FGF8 repels them, FGF4 attracts them
  • They can become mesoderm or endoderm

Q

Tinman/Nkx2.5

A
  • Induced by BMP2
  • TF that induces expression of genes in early heart field cells
  • Expressed throughout entire mesoderm initially
  • As mesoderm moves dorsally, expression is stronger at one pole

Q

The Second Heart Field

A
  • Cells must migrate in to help the heart grow as FHF-derived cells do not proliferate much
  • Precursors of RV and common OFT migrate
  • RV entirely derived from SHF cells instructed by dHAND/Hand2

Q

Define the First Heart Field

Expression

A
  • The first wave of mesodermal cells that differentiate to form the initial heart tube. Origin of the LV.
  • Express muscle-specific proteins (MLC2A/3F)
  • First group to down-regulate Isl1
