Q

what the different TF combine to give identity to diff compartments of the somite

A
dorsal

Q

what is the sclerotome and how does it form

A

EMT (deepithalises) leaves behind dermomyotome and the myotome
gives rise to themcartilage and bone of the axial skeleton and ribs

Q

what are the signals thta guide the cell migration and where are they expressed

17
Q

what happens to the cells that get the singal and become migratory

A

emt (epithelial mesodermal transition)

18
Q

what is epithelial mesodermal tranisiton

A

cells give up epithelial identitiy and become migratory

19
Q

what tf define the expression of the signals SF/HGF

A

Fgf4/8 from the aer

20
Q

how do fgf4/8 from aer indirectly effect SDF1 signal

A

fgf impct on Lbx1 exor
lbx1 control cxcr4 expression
= why only cxcr4 in prospective limb

21
Q

what do teh Sf/cMEt mutants show

A

that with no rec there is no migration but the muscle precursor cells (lbx1 positive) accumulate in areas where is signal

22
Q

what do SDF-CXCR4 mutatns show

A

implant of sdf1 attract cxcr4 positive cells
- ectopic muscle
control implant no effect

23
Q

what the fucntional relationship between C-met and cxcr4

A

partially reduncant

strong ptype only when both taken out

24
Q

from studies in sebrafish what tf has been implicated in the formatino of multinucleate myotubes

A

kirrel

25
Q

what is the tf that define the myoblast (taking over from pax expr)

A

Myod
Myf5
Desmin

26
Q

what cells are likely to contribute to the induction of Myf5 expression

A

neural crest cells

27
Q

how are ncc cells thought to induce Myf5

A

neural crest cells express delta
=activate notch signalling
notch switches on myf5

28
Q

what transcription facotrs are key determinants of muslce differentiation

A
myf5
mrf4
myoD
myogenin 
= all members of MDF/MRF family
29
Q

what is the expression patterns of the MDF/MRF family

A

=myf5/mrf4/myod expr in undiff cells
myod - in venrtal lip
mrf4 / myf5 strong expr in myotome weak in ventral lip
myogenin expr duirng differentiation high in both myotome and ventral lip

30
Q

what MRF fam member is suff and req for myogenic fate in culture

A

myod (ko and rescue)
when ko myod act myf5 but no other myogenic factors
- suggets myod the inductive signal

31
Q

what results show there is a high degree of interdepndence in teh myogenic factors

A

1)l myf5/mrf4 redundancy, early myogensis depends on
2) limb specific myogensis req myf5 and myod only
3)myotome-derived body musculature is more dependent on redundant functions of myf5 and mrf4
= redundsancy but have time and spatial expr imp

32
Q

what is mef2

A

master reg of muscle differntiation

downstream of the MDF/MRF

33
Q

what do mef2 mut show

A

early stages of precurso and specification -normal
specific differentiation -normal
functional differneitation doesnt occur
(mef2 act genes form myocyte fusion/anchor/innervation)

34
Q

what factors does mef2 activate

A

mbc

integrin

35
Q

what ptype for lof mbc and integrin

A

mbc -no fusion (mono - poly) but differentiate

integrin - fail to attach properly /not proper cell junction

36
Q

what mechnaism is used to maintain progenitors

A

asym div

37
Q

what is the role of notch in asym div

A

precursors expr notch -
beroe div switch on numb = decr notch
- allows MDF expr as norm notch singal via RBP-j inh mdf

38
Q

what is the pheontype of delta dbl mut mouse

rbpj mut

A

delta
precocious muscle differentiation and cessation of myogenesis
= using up of the muscle precursor pool
RBP-j
less undifferentiated myogenic cells at all stages of development

39
Q

what are satelite cells ?

A

muscle precursor cell remian undiff in adult

expr PAX7 and notch

40
Q

how was the regenerative power of satelite cells shown

A

conditional ko of in differnentiated uscle fibres causes hyperttrophy - satelite cells not effected get over induced to regerate muscle

41
Q

What strucutures does the sclerotome give rise to?

A

bones of the vertebra and ribs

42
Q

what structures does the dermomyotome give rise to

A

dermis and skeletal muscle
