While MEF2 cannot effectively induce myogenesis in naïve cells, it can potently accelerate myogenesis in mesodermal cells. This includes in <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> imaginal disc myoblasts, where triggering premature muscle gene expression in these adult muscle progenitors has become a paradigm for understanding the regulation of the myogenic program. Here, we investigated the global consequences of MEF2 overexpression in the imaginal wing disc myoblasts, by combining RNA-sequencing with RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence. We observed the formation of sarcomere-like structures that contained both muscle and cytoplasmic myosin, and significant upregulation of muscle gene expression, especially genes essential for myofibril formation and function. These transcripts were functional since numerous myofibrillar proteins were detected in discs using immunofluorescence. Interestingly, muscle genes whose expression is restricted to the adult stages were not activated in these adult myoblasts. These studies confirm a broad activation of the myogenic program in response to MEF2 expression and suggest that additional regulatory factors are required for promoting the adult muscle-specific program. Our findings contribute to understanding the regulatory mechanisms governing muscle development and highlight the multifaceted role of MEF2 in orchestrating this intricate process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11070,"journal":{"name":"Developmental biology","volume":"516 ","pages":"Pages 82-95"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012160624002094/pdfft?md5=345971f7a0bc88b5e0d79838bd425306&pid=1-s2.0-S0012160624002094-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141901222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
