Number and quality of cell cycles in an in vitro regeneration and transdifferentiation system
نویسنده
چکیده
Mononucleated striated muscle of an anthomedusa can be isolated and cultivated in artificial sea water. When treated with bacterial coUagenase the isolated muscle can transdifferentiate autonomously into several cell types and regenerate the entire sexual and feeding organ of the medusa, the manubrium. Whereas transdifferentiation from striated to smooth muscle is direct, formation of a glandular cell type needs one cell cycle. Aphidicolin experiments show that this one cell cycle has to be initiated at the right time otherwise transdifferentiation of striated muscle to the glandular cell type does not occur.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Signaling Pathways in Transdifferentiation Into Retinal Progenitor Cells
Several signaling pathways and transcription factors control the cell fate in its in vitro development and differentiation. The orchestrated use of these factors results in cell specification. In coculture methods, many of these factors secrete from host cells but control the process. Today, transcription factors required for retinal progenitor cells are well known, but the generation of these ...
متن کاملA Study on Transdifferentiation of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells into Neuronal and Glial-Like Cells In Vitro by Different Inducers
Introduction: There are some evidences to suggest that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) not only differentiate into mesodermal cells, but also adopt the fate of endodermal and ectodermal cell types. BMSCs can be a valuable cell source as an autograft for clinical application involving regeneration of the central nervous system. Bone marrow stromal cells can be expanded rapidly in vitro and can...

متن کاملIn vitro Transdifferentiation of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells into GABAergic-Like Neurons
Background: Cell therapy of many neurodegenerative diseases using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) requires the differentiation of BMSC into neuronal subtype. However, the transdifferentiation of BMSC into GABAergic phenotype requires more investigation. Methods: In this study, BMSC of adult female rats were pre-induced into neuroblast-like cells using 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol (βME) and 10 M re...
متن کاملIGFBP1 increases b-cell regeneration by promoting a- to b-cell transdifferentiation
There is great interest in therapeutically harnessing endogenous regenerative mechanisms to increase the number of b cells in people with diabetes. By performing whole-genome expression profiling of zebrafish islets, we identified 11 secreted proteins that are upregulated during b-cell regeneration. We then tested the proteins’ ability to potentiate b-cell regeneration in zebrafish at supraphys...
