Abstract：
:As a prerequisite to investigating the specification and differentiation of cardiac tissue in vitro, the ontogeny of a number of putative cardiac-specific, and striated muscle-specific gene transcripts has been studied. The probes used include cDNAs of alpha-actins, myosin heavy chains, myosin light chains, alpha-tropomyosin, troponin-T and atrial natriuretic factor. The expression of these genes was monitored by Northern analysis of heart and various other tissues at three developmental ages, viz, adult, neonatal and mid-foetal. The aim of this exercise was to confirm the efficacy of a number of markers to represent a cardiac-specific subset of gene expression in our mammalian model, the guinea pig. Our results indicate predominantly cardiac expression for the mRNA transcripts of cardiac alpha-actin (c alpha-actin), cardiac myosin heavy chain-alpha (MHC alpha), cardiac myosin heavy chain-beta (MHC beta), myosin light chain-1A (MLC1A), myosin light chain-1V (MLC1V), alpha-tropomyosin (alpha TM), cardiac troponin-T (cTnT) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Furthermore, cardiac-specific expression at the midfoetal time point was observed for five gene transcripts, MLC1V, MHC alpha, MHC beta, striated alpha TM and ANF. No genes were expressed exclusively in cardiac tissue; for example, expression of the genes for c alpha-actin, both cardiac MHCs, both MLCs, alpha TM and cTnT was evident in skeletal and vascular smooth muscles at some stages of development. An interesting difference between this species and those of previous studies was the minor contribution of skeletal alpha-actin to cardiac phenotype.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
