| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on the differentiation into muscle satellite cell regulated by Nfix and their related factors during mouse tongue development. Tongue primordia were dissected from ICR mouse embryos at E9.5-18.5. Gene expression analysis was carried out by mRNA/microRNA microarray, qPCR and immunohistochemistry. We confirmed that Nfix expression started at E10.5 and reached its peak level at E14.5. Nfix-positive myogenic cells were detected after E11.5. Satellite cell differentiation-regulatory genes (e.g. Pax7, Hesr3 and Notch1) were up-regulated after E14.5. Multiple microRNAs that target Nfix mRNA involved in regulating myogenic gene expression. Nfix-positive myogenic cells were localized in tongue primordia after E11.5. Their myogenic cells and surrounding vascular endothelial cells were Cxcr4- and its ligand Cxcl12-positive, respectively. Suggesting that Nfix and its related gene/miRNA expression may play a pivotal role in satellite cell differentiation during tongue myogenesis.
