Vascular smooth muscle cells spontaneously adopt a skeletal muscle phenotype: a unique Myf5(-)/MyoD(+) myogenic program.

The journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry : official journal of the Histochemistry Society - 1 Sept 2000

Graves D C, Yablonka-Reuveni Z

Abstract excerpt

Smooth and skeletal muscle tissues are composed of distinct cell types that express related but distinct isoforms of the structural genes used for contraction. These two muscle cell types are also believed to have distinct embryological origins. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of a phenotypic switch from smooth to skeletal muscle has been demonstrated in several in vivo studies. This switch has been minimally...
