Twenty one years of P19 cells: what an embryonal carcinoma cell line taught us about cardiomyocyte differentiation.
TLDR
Studies on different subclones of P19 cells, and what they have taught us about cardiac differentiation and physiology are reviewed.Abstract:
Many different stem cell types have been shown to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells in vitro but P19 embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells were one of the first examples described and have been the most extensively characterized. P19 EC cells, isolated from an experimental embryo-derived teratocarcinoma in mice, are multipotent and can differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers. Because of their capacity to form cardiomyocytes however, they have been used to dissect the role of cardiac-specific transcription factors and upstream signalling pathways in cardiac cell differentiation. Furthermore, they have shed light on unique aspects of cardiac cell physiology during heart cell differentiation, including regulation of the proteins underlying the electrical and contractile systems. Here, we review studies on different subclones of P19 cells, and what they have taught us about cardiac differentiation and physiology.read more

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to cardiomyocytes
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of induction ofcardiomyocyte differentiation in hES cells that do not undergo spontaneous cardiogenesis and provides a model for the study of human cardiomyocytes in culture and could be a step forward in the development of cardiomeocyte transplantation therapies.

Orphan Nuclear Receptor LRH-1 Is Required To Maintain Oct4 Expression at the Epiblast Stage of Embryonic Development
Peili Gu,Bryan Goodwin,Arthur C.-K. Chung,Xueping Xu,David A. Wheeler,Roger R. Price,Cristin M. Galardi,Li Peng,Anne M. Latour,Beverly H. Koller,Jan A. Gossen,Steven A. Kliewer,Austin J. Cooney +12 more
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo results show that LRH-1 plays an essential role in the maintenance of Oct4 expression in ES cells at the epiblast stage of embryonic development, thereby maintaining pluripotence at this crucial developmental stage prior to segregation of the primordial germ cell lineage at gastrulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental xenobiotics and nuclear receptors--interactions, effects and in vitro assessment.
TL;DR: Current knowledge on major nuclear receptors (AhR, ER, AR, RAR/RXR, TR) and their relationship to known in vivo toxic effects are summarized and experimental approaches for determination and studies of specific toxicity mechanisms are summarized.

Oxytocin Revisited: Its Role in Cardiovascular Regulation
TL;DR: In rats with experimentally‐induced myocardial infarction, continuous in vivo OT delivery improves the cardiac healing process, as well as cardiac work, reduces inflammation and stimulates angiogenesis, and OT has potential for therapeutic use.

The transcription factor FOXM1 (Forkhead box M1): proliferation-specific expression, transcription factor function, target genes, mouse models, and normal biological roles.
TL;DR: FOXM1 (Forkhead box M1) as discussed by the authors is a typical proliferation-associated transcription factor, which stimulates cell proliferation and exhibits a proliferation-specific expression pattern, and it is required for proper execution of mitosis.

TL;DR: The regulation by gonadal and adrenal steroids is one of the most remarkable features of the OT system and is, unfortunately, the least understood.

Pro-inflammatory Cytokines and Environmental Stress Cause p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activation by Dual Phosphorylation on Tyrosine and Threonine (∗)
Joel Raingeaud,Shashi Gupta,Jeffrey Scott Rogers,Martin Dickens,Jiahuai Han,Richard J. Ulevitch,Roger J. Davis,Roger J. Davis +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p38, like JNK, is activated by treatment of cells with pro-inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress and the mechanism of p38 activation is mediated by dual phosphorylation on Thr-180 and Tyr-182.

The induction of differentiation in teratocarcinoma stem cells by retinoic acid
Sidney Strickland,Vijak Mahdavi +1 more
TL;DR: Using one embryonal carcinoma cell line, F9, it is found that retinoic acid at concentrations as low as 10(-9) M induces multiple phenotypic changes in the cultures in vitro, which are consistent with the proposition that retinosic acid induces differentiation of embryonal cancer cells into endoderm.

Hemoglobin synthesis in murine virus-induced leukemic cells in vitro: stimulation of erythroid differentiation by dimethyl sulfoxide.
TL;DR: This action of dimethyl sulfoxide, which was reversible, may represent the derepression of leukemic cells to permit their maturation in cloned line of murine virus-induced erythroleukemia.
Hemoglobin Synthesis inMurineVirus-Induced Leukemic Cells InVitro: Stimulation ofErythroid Differentiation by Dimethyl Sulfoxide
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of DMSO on leukemic cells was investigated and it was shown that 2% methyl sulfoxide (DMS0) increased the synthesis of hematopoietic cells.
