Fig. 8. The effect of overexpression of activated components and dominant-negative
components of the Wnt signalling pathway on fibre-type differentiation in
vitro. The bar chart shows the total number of differentiated myogenic cells
and the number expressing fast or slow MyHCs in 3-day limb micromass cultures
that have been infected with either a control RCAS(BP) virus or retroviruses
expressing Dsh
PDZ,
Lef, ß-catenin or activated CamKII. The
slow population of myoblasts (red) might express either exclusively slow MyHC
or both slow and fast MyHCs, whereas the fast myogenic population indicated by
the yellow bar only expresses fast MyHC. *, P<0.05; **,
P<0.01; ***, P<0.001.
