Differentiation of P19 Carcinoma Cell Line into Cardiomyocytes by Oxytocin Hormone
Authors
Abstract:
Purpose: The Present study was designed to investigate the OT effects on differentiation of P19 carcinoma cell line into cardiomyocytes. Materials and Methods: P19 carcinoma cell line were cultivated in hanging drops for 2 days to form aggregates termed embryoid bodies (EBs) and in suspension for 5 days. The EBs was treated with oxytocin hormone and DMSO. The EBs were then plated onto gelatin- coated tissue culture dishes, and monitored microscopically daily for the presence of contracting areas, as well as the distribution of the timing of onset of spontaneous beating and beating frequency per minute was evaluated for each EBs. Cells from the spontaneously contracting areas within EBs were stained with anti a- actinin, anti-desmin, and anti-cardiac troponin I in 21- day- old EBS. Results: Spontaneously contracting areas appeared in most of the EBs of OT and DMSO groups in 7+3 and 7+5 day, respectively. Immunohistological analysis showed that the harvested cardiomyocytes were stained positively with all of and bodies and displayed many features characteristic of native cardiomyocytes. Conclusion: These results indicate that oxytocin hormone can induce differentiation of P19 carcinoma cells to cardimoyocytes, but the exact mechanism of this process is unclear. Thus, the OT-OTR system can play an important role in cardiogenesis even in vitro.

Background: The capability of embryonic carcinoma cells P19 in differentiation to Cardiomyocyte was examined through inducing effects of Oxytocin (OT) and 5-Azacytidin (5Az) individually and compared with each other in laboratory condition. Materials and Methods: P19 Embryoid Bodies (EBs) was formed through hanging drops method. Then, EBs were treated with (5Az) or (OT) and the EB medium (Ct...

We recently discovered the existence of the oxytocin/oxytocin receptor (OT/OTR) system in the heart. Activation of cardiac OTR stimulates the release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which is involved in regulation of blood pressure and cell growth. Having observed elevated OT levels in the fetal and newborn heart at a stage of intense cardiomyocyte hyperplasia, we hypothesized a role for O...

Murine P19 embryonal carcinoma cells are multipotent cells that can differentiate into cardiomyocytes when treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. This experimental model provides an invaluable tool to study different aspects of cardiac differentiation, such as the function of cardiac‑specific transcription factors and signaling pathways, and the regulation of contractile protein expression. The role ...

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is activated by environmental contaminants including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The AHR affects a variety of processes that are involved in cell growth and differentiation. In this study, we constructed a P19 embryonic carcinoma cell line with A...
