Diff10 - 26 Flashcards
Where do cardiac cells originate from?
The lateral mesoderm - splachnopleura
Outline vertebrate cardiogenesis
Mesodermal precursor, cardioblast, cariomyocyte, linear heart tube, looped heart tube, multichanbered heart
What induces a vertebrate cardioblast?
BMP then Nkx2.5
What differentiates a vertebrate cardioblast into a cardiomyocyte?
MEF2C
What structures vertebrate cardiomyocytes into linear heart tube?
GATA4
What creates the looped heart tube?
inv and iv
What finalises the multichambered heart?
dHand and eHand
What is the difference in drosophila/vertebrate cardiogenesis?
Linear heart tube becomes dorsal vessel - no loop or multichambered occurs
What induces a drosophila cardioblast?
dpp then tinman
What does Dpp stand for?
Decapentaplegic
What differentiates a drosophila cardioblast into a cardiomyocyte?
DMef2
What structures drosophila cariomyocytes into linear heart tube?
Pannier
What are GATA transcription factors?
Zinc finger proteins
What are GATA1-3 responsible for?
Hematopoiesis
What are GATA4-6 responsible for?
Cardiogenesis
