Lecture 20: Muscular Development Flashcards
What is the order of the stages of muscle tissue morphogenesis?
Myogenic cell–>Myoblast–>Myotube–>Muscle fiber
What do myogenic cells originate from?
Somites
T/F: Myogenic cells are postmitotic.
False, myogenic cells are still mitotic. Myoblasts are postmitotic
When are myotubes formed?
When myoblasts line up & adhere to each other
What are myotubes characterized by?
Actin, myosin, troponin, tropomyosin, sarcomere formation, & peripheral nuclei
T/F: Satellite cells are mitotic & myogenic and form new muscle fibers.
False, do not form new muscle fibers. Provide growth of existing fibers
What occurs first, differentiation or innervation, of primary myotubes?
Differentiation:
between fast/slow fibers
What is necessary for the formation of secondary myotubes?
Nerves in primary myotubes
What signaling molecules maintain myogenic cells in mitotic state?
FGF & TGF-beta
What is the loss of mitotic capability due to?
p21
How do MyoD, E12, & Id interact to regulate muscle development?
Enhancer + MyoD homodimer = Good activation
Enhancer + MyoD-E12 heterodimer = Great activation
Enhancer + MyoD-Id heterodimer = Poor/No activation
Which factors activate MyoD?
Myf-5 & Pax-3/Pax-7
What does expression of Myf-5 & MyoD result in the formation of?
Myogenin & myoblast genes
What does myogenin result in the formation of?
Myf-6 & myotube genes
What does Myf-6 lead to the expression of?
Myofiber genes
