Q

Q

Are all muscles derived from somites?

A

No. Everything except head muscles

24
Q

What are the back muscles formed from? What are the signals required for this development?

A

Primaxial myotome.

shh from notochord, wnt from neural tube

25
What are the limbs and body wall muscles formed from? What are the signals required for this development?
abaxial myotome | wnt from epidermis, other factors from lateral mesoderm
26
What does shh contribute in?
primaxial myotome, sclerotome
27
What are internal genes that are turned on in paraxial myotome, abaxial myotome and sclerotome?
myf5 myoD, pax3 Pax1
28
describe wnt and hedgehog signalling
without wnt - activate GSK3β complex > β catenin degraded > no transcription with wnt - no active GSK3β > β catenin removes groucho > transcription
29
One day 2-3 which part goes through EMT? what does it form into?
Ventral medial cells (sclerotome) goes through EMT. | Turns into cartilage
30
On which day of the embryo do we get myotome and sclerotome differentiation?
2-3 days
31
Does myocyte elongation happen from only one side?
No from all 4 sides. can be seen with GFP for 48 hours.
32
Does central myotome invade into primary myotome? are they differentiated before after? What do they express?
Yes. Can be seen with GFP. They are no differntiated. and they express Pax7
33
Which parthway in primary myotome promotes EMT?
FGF > snail
34
On which day is abaxial somatic bud and primaxial somatic lip formed?
late Day 4
35
Which two pathways trigger central dermamyotome to EMT? and which way do they migrate aftewards?
wnt6, Neurotrophin-3. (from neural tube) | Up towards beneath epidermis
36
Trigger for central dermamyotome comes through wnt6 and NT3 comes from where?
dorsal neural tube
37
4 types of muscle cells
1. Striated (in myoneural junction) 2. Cadiac muscle fibres 3. Myoepithelial cells (milk ducts, salivary glands) 4. Smooth muscle cells on collagen
38
How does limb and interlimb differ in abaxial EMT?
in interlimb, abaxial delamination produces limbs. | in interlimb, lateral dermamyotome migrates to underlying myotome.
39
Explain pathways in limb budding
``` From limb (FGF > HGF > c-met) From abaxial myotome (Pax3 > MyoD) ```
40
At limb target sites, does differentiation or proliferation happen first?
proliferation
41
What are myotubes formed from?
multiple myoblasts joining together
42
Does the number of myoblasts increase from birth to adulthood?
No. They grow by fusing with single nucleated myoblasts (1st week) Then grow my stretching with actin and myosin filaments
43
cell fusion is referred to as?
syncytium
44
What are the five steps in striated muscle cell formation. Along with signals needed in each step
1. myotome cell (determination). bHLH > lineage specification with myoD, Myf5 > Myogenin and MRF4 2. dividing myotoblasts FGF 3. cell alignment (no more FGF) Fibronectin, integrins, cadherins myogenins > transcription of muscle specific genes 4. myotube formation > maturation myoferlin & dysferlin muscle MMP IL-4 for myoblast fusion with myotube
45
During myotube maturation, what is required? Which exact molecule is it needed by?
myoferlin with Ca2+
46
What is the purpose of myostatin? What happens without it?
``` inhibits myogenesis (proliferation to differentiation) Without it, hyperplasia (more fibre), hypertropy (big muscle) ```
47
myostatin is in which family of growth factor?
TGFβ
48
Are myofibres surrounded by basal lamina? What is located in between these?
Yes. satellite cells
49
What is another name of putative muscle stem cell?
satellite cell
50
What are the functions of satellite cells?
self renewal, injury recovery, proliferation in response to stress/exercise
51
Satellite cells are derived from which part of the somite?
central dermamyotome
52
Satellite cells express what?
Pax3 and Pax7
53
Satellite cells do not express what and why?
bHLH, myoD and myf5. Else it would differentiate all the time
54
What is expressed in daughter satellite cell that divide?
Myf5 and myoD
55
Which two structures are located on basal lamina to attach to actin filament?
integrin and dystroglycan
56
What does RA promote or suppress? what is its gene?
promote cell differentiation. Raldh2
57
What does FGF promote or suppress? What is its gene?
Suppresses cell differentiation. fgf8
