説明

<jats:p>The transcription factor recombination signal sequence-binding protein Jκ (RBP-J) is a key downstream element in the signaling pathway of all four mammalian Notch receptors that are critically involved in the control of embryonic and adult development. RBP-J-deficient mice display complex defects and die around day 9.5 postcoitum. Here, we investigate the function of RBP-J in the development of mesodermal cell lineages by using the OP9 stroma coculture system. RBP-J-deficient embryonic stem (ES) cells gave rise to cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and primitive and definitive hematopoietic cells. Thus, RBP-J-mediated signals are not required for generation of these cell types. However, when compared with parental RBP-J-expressing ES cells, cardiomyogenesis derived from RBP-J-deficient ES cells was increased. Repression over the cardiogenic pathway was restored by expressing RBP-J in RBP-J-deficient ES cells. Our data indicate that Notch signaling via RBP-J plays an important role for the correct specification of myocardial cell fates.</jats:p>
