... at least in part from a lack of myoblast proliferation in the hypaxial muscle domain. Conversely, overexpression of lbx1 mRNA results in enlarged somites, an increase in cell proliferation, but a lack of differentiated muscle. The control of cell proliferation is linked to a strong downregulation of myoD...

...Sophie Eloy-Trinquet; Jean-François Nicolas In vertebrates, muscles of the back (epaxial) and of the body wall and limbs (hypaxial) derive from precursor cells located in the dermomyotome of the somites. In this paper, we investigate the mediolateral regionalisation of epaxial and hypaxial muscle...

... of these four genes to be expressed in the mouse. We have previously described discrete enhancers that drive Myf5 expression in epaxial and hypaxial somites, branchial arches and central nervous system, and argued that additional elements are required for proper expression (Summerbell, D., Ashby, P. R...

... expression in a particular subset of skeletal muscle precursors. This region includes four separate enhancers controlling expression in the epaxial muscle precursors of the body, some hypaxial precursors of the body, some facial muscles and the central nervous system. These elements separately or together...

... observed in the epaxial and hypaxial trunk muscles that are proximal to the vertebrae in the compound mutant, but not those at the ventral midline or the non-segmented muscles of the limb and tongue. In this genetic background, myoblasts derived from the medial (epaxial) myotome are not present...

...Boris Kablar; Kirsten Krastel; Chuyan Ying; Atsushi Asakura; Stephen J. Tapscott; Michael A. Rudnicki ABSTRACT The myogenic progenitors of epaxial (paraspinal and intercostal) and hypaxial (limb and abdominal wall) musculature are believed to originate in dorsal-medial and ventral-lateral domains...
