Abstract

Each of the myogenic helix-loop-helix transcription factors (MyoD, Myogenin, Myf-5, and MRF4) is capable of activating muscle-specific gene expression, yet distinct functions have not been ascribed to the individual proteins. We report here that MyoD and Myogenin mRNAs selectively accumulate in hindlimb muscles of the adult rat that differ in contractile properties: MyoD is prevalent in fast twitch and Myogenin in slow twitch muscles. The distribution of MyoD and Myogenin transcripts also differ within a single muscle and correlate with the proportions of fast glycolytic and slow oxidative muscle fibres, respectively. Furthermore, the expression of a transgene consisting of a muscle-specific cis-regulatory region from the myoD gene controlling lacZ was primarily associated with the fast glycolytic fibres. Alteration of the fast/slow fibre type distribution by thyroid hormone treatment or by cross-reinnervation resulted in a corresponding alteration in the MyoD/Myogenin mRNA expression pattern. These findings show that the expression of specific myogenic helix-loop-helix regulators is under the control of innervation and humoral factors and may mediate differential control of contractile protein gene expression in adult muscle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
