Article Abstract
Integrins are cellular adhesion receptors that mediate signaling and play key roles in the development of multicellular organisms. However, their role in the cellular events leading to myotome formation is completely unknown. Here, we describe the expression patterns of the alpha1, alpha4, alpha5, alpha6, and alpha7 integrin subunits in the mouse myotome and correlate them with the expression of several differentiation markers. Our results indicate that these integrin subunits may be differentially involved in the various phases of myogenic determination and differentiation. A detailed characterization of the myogenic cell types expressing the alpha4 and alpha6 subunits showed a regionalization of the myotome and dermomyotome based on cell-adhesion properties. We conclude that alpha6beta1 may be an early marker of epaxial myogenic progenitor cells. In contrast, alpha4beta1 is up-regulated in the intercalated myotome after myocyte differentiation. Furthermore, alpha4beta1 is expressed in the hypaxial dermomyotome and is maintained by early hypaxial myogenic progenitor cells colonizing the myotome.

Objective: To explore the role of folic acid in regulating GATA4/MYOM2 axis in sodium arsenite-induced rat embryonic heart malformation and cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation by bioinformatics analysis and in vivo and in vitro experiments.
Methods: R language was used to screen differentially expressed genes between wild type and GATA4-G296S mutant groups at different time points of hiPSC differentiation into cardiomyocytes in GSE85623, and explore the biological functions of key genes. Animal experiments were performed to observe the effects of 75 mg/L sodium arsenite and 10.

Background: Maternal obesity (MO) impairs fetal skeletal muscle development, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. The regulatory roles of lncRNA H19 and its first exon derived microRNA675 (miR675) in prenatal muscle development remain to be examined. H19/Igf2 are in the same imprinting cluster with H19 expressed from the maternal allele while Igf2 expresses paternally.

Limb muscle is responsible for physical activities and myogenic cell migration during embryogenesis is indispensable for limb muscle formation. Maternal obesity (MO) impairs prenatal skeletal muscle development, but the effects of MO on myogenic cell migration remain to be examined. C57BL/6 mice embryos were collected at E13.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has been linked to congenital heart disease and fetal alcohol syndrome. The heart primarily relies on mitochondria to generate energy, so impaired mitochondrial function due to alcohol exposure can significantly affect cardiac development and function. Our study aimed to investigate the impact of PAE on myocardial and mitochondrial functions in offspring mice.

During embryogenesis, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is released from neural tube and myotome to promote myogenic fate in the somite, and is routinely used for the culture of adult skeletal muscle (SKM) stem cells (MuSC, called satellite cells). However, the mechanism employed by bFGF to promote SKM lineage and MuSC proliferation has not been analyzed in detail. Furthermore, the question of if the post-translational modification (PTM) of bFGF is important to its stemness-promoting effect has not been answered.
