ObjectivesThe tongue contains skeletal myofibers that differ from those in the trunk, limbs, and other orofacial muscles. However, the molecular basis of myogenic differentiation in the tongue muscles remains unclear. In this study, we conducted comprehensive gene expression profiling of the developing murine tongue.MethodsTongue primordia were dissected from mouse embryos at embryonic day (E) 10.5–E18. 5, while myogenic markers were detected via microarray analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition to common myogenic regulatory factors such as Myf5, MyoD, myogenin, and Mrf4, we focused on Nfix, which acts as a unique molecular switch triggering the shift from embryonic to fetal myoblast lineage during limb myogenesis. Nfix inhibition was performed using a specific antisense oligonucleotide in the organ culture of tongue primordia.ResultsMicroarray and ingenuity pathway analyses confirmed the significant upregulation of myogenic signaling molecules, including Nfix, associated with the differentiation of myoblasts from myogenic progenitor cells during E10. 5–E11. 5. Quantitative PCR confirmed that Nfix expression started at E10. 5 and peaked at E14. 5. Fetal myoblast-specific genes, such as Mck and Myh8, were upregulated after E14. 5, whereas embryonic myoblast-specific genes, such as Myh3 and Myh7, were downregulated. When Nfix was inhibited in the organ culture of tongue primordia, subtle morphological differences were noted in the tongue. Such an observation was only noted in the cultures of E10. 5-derived tongue primordia.ConclusionsThese results reveal the contribution of Nfix to tongue myogenesis. Nfix expression during early tongue development may play a vital role in tongue muscle development.
