Lecture 7 - Muscle Flashcards
what is a sarcoemere
the structural unit of a myofibril in a striated muscle
wgat us the smallest cellular unit of a muscle and it’s mportant property
myofibre
polynucleated
what do myofibres consist of
many myofibrils
how are somites patterned
siganals from adjacent tissues including notochord and lpm ectoderm etc
distinct code
distinct TF
give identity
with the following signals what tissues release the signals -WNts Shh noggin Bmp
Wnts = from the dorsal n.tube and epidermal ectoderm
Bmp4 lateral plate
Shh (and noggin) = notochord and floor plate of n.tubw
What do the signals define?
wnt
shh
bmp
wnt - induce Pax3 expr defines dermomyotome and supreses sclerotome form
shh- induce pax1 - sclerotome
bmp4 controls sim1 ecpr in the lateral/hypaxial
where do muscles form from
somites
competence at compartmentalisation
what the different TF combine to give identity to diff compartments of the somite
dorsal Pax3/Pax7/En1 = epaxial muscles pax3/pax7/sim1=hypaxial = muscles VEntral sim1=hypaxial - sclerotome pax1 - epaxial - sclerotome
what compartment are muscle precursors in somite
hypaxial - dorsal
bmp and wnt cooperate to specify
what is the dermomytome
pool of precursors cells of muscles
what is the sclerotome and how does it form
EMT (deepithalises) leaves behind dermomyotome and the myotome
gives rise to themcartilage and bone of the axial skeleton and ribs
what are the different sections of myotome
dorsomedial lip
dermomytome proper
early myotome
ventrolateral lip
descirbe propetries of the myotome
forms in rib musculature
first differnetiated muscle cell
what happens to Tf patterns from the tranistion form somites to dermomytome
are maintained
pax3/pax7 = muscle precursors
my15 - onset of differnetiation in myotome and lips
how is progenitor migration steered
signals from limb to receotive muscle precursors (which are in the ventrolateral lip )
what are the signals thta guide the cell migration and where are they expressed
siganl =SDF1 rec = CXCR4
expr where pax3 upreg - in limb region where limb will form
signal SF/HGF rec Cmet/hgf
