Methoxychlor disrupts uterine Hoxa10 gene expression.
Methoxychlor (MXC) is a pesticide that has adverse effects on reproductive capability in mice. MXC and its metabolites bind the estrogen receptor and function as endocrine disruptors. MXC diminishes the uterine decidual cell response, necessary for the support of pregnancy. Hoxa10 is an estrogen-regulated gene that is an essential mediator of the decidual response and necessary for pregnancy. H...
متن کاملNO induces myoblast fusion
T elomere association with nuclear pores is critical not only for transcriptional silencing but also for effi cient repair of double-stranded breaks in the subtelomeric region of budding yeast chromosomes, according to Therizols et al. (page 189). As in many organisms, yeast telomeres localize to the nuclear periphery. To determine whether nuclear pore proteins are involved in telomere tetherin...
متن کاملc-Myb Inhibits Myoblast Fusion
Satellite cells represent a heterogeneous population of stem and progenitor cells responsible for muscle growth, repair and regeneration. We investigated whether c-Myb could play a role in satellite cell biology because our previous results using satellite cell-derived mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 showed that c-Myb was expressed in growing cells and downregulated during differentiation. We de...
متن کاملNeural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and myoblast fusion.
Considerable evidence points to an involvement of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in myoblast fusion. Changes in the level of NCAM expression, isoform specificity, and localization in muscle cells and tissues correspond to key morphogenetic events during muscle differentiation and repair. Furthermore, anti-NCAM antibodies have been shown by others to reduce the rate of myoblast fusion, whe...
متن کاملNormal myoblast fusion requires myoferlin.
Muscle growth occurs during embryonic development and continues in adult life as regeneration. During embryonic muscle growth and regeneration in mature muscle, singly nucleated myoblasts fuse to each other to form myotubes. In muscle growth, singly nucleated myoblasts can also fuse to existing large, syncytial myofibers as a mechanism of increasing muscle mass without increasing myofiber numbe...
