SUMMARY Studies of muscle-derived stem cell death and survival mechanisms during their proliferation and differentiation Stem cell apoptosis/survival signaling pathways are potential gains in the development of cardiomyoplasty method. During this work, by specific myogenic protein and morphology there was demonstrated the myogenic origin of cells derived from rabbit muscle and their ability to differentiate into muscle cells. There were studied molecular mechanisms governing the death/survival pathways of primary myogenic cells in response to treatment with genotoxic drug cisplatin, daunorubicin and nitric oxide donor NOC-18. Differentiated cells appeared to be more resistant to the above subtances as compared to proliferating cells. The study has proved the protective role of ERK, JNK ir p38 MAP kinases in differentiated muscle stem cell apoptosis. There was observed a change of JNK function from pro- to antiapoptotic depending on cell differentiation stages and cell contact duration. |
