“…In our results, these irregular collagen fibers were not found among the colla gen bundles, but a few elastic fibers were found in the superficial and middle portions of tendon in masseter mus cles at an ultrastructure level. In general, elastic fibers exist in the intact vessels [10][11][12][13], skin [14], ligamentum nuchae [ 15], connective tissue 116. 17], temporomandibular menis cus [18] and tendon [6, 19.…”

In the masticatory muscles, the development of bundles of the tendon was examined: they were composed of many collagen fibers and a few elastic fibers. In the masseter muscle, the property of the tendon differs in the distribution and size of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in comparison with those of other masticatory muscles. This difference is concerned with the kinetic force for the stress or the stretch of each tendon and muscle during jaw movement.

“…During this period, vascular smooth muscle transition from an immature (high proliferative, high biosynthetic, and noncontractile) to a mature (low proliferative, low biosynthetic, and contractile) tissue (12,13). To gain a better understanding of this process, we previously used differential screening to isolate cDNA clones that were expressed in fetal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) 1 but not in adult cells (9).…”

H19 is a developmentally regulated gene with putative tumor suppressor activity, and loss of H19 expression may be involved in Wilms' tumorigenesis. In this report, we have performed in situ hybridization analysis of H19 expression during normal rabbit development and in human atherosclerotic plaques. We have also used cultured smooth muscle cells to identify H19 regulatory factors. Our data indicate that H19 expression in the developing skeletal and smooth muscles correlated with specific differentiation events in these tissues. Expression of H19 in the skeletal muscle correlated with nonproliferative, actin-positive muscle cells. In the prenatal blood vessel, H19 expression was both temporally and spatially regulated with initial loss of expression in the inner smooth muscle layers adjacent to the lumen. We also identified H19-positive cells within the adult atherosclerotic lesion and we suggest that these cells may recapitulate earlier developmental events.

“…The amount of elastin increases with time until finally the mature elastic fiber consists largely of elastin (KARRER, 1960;HAUST et al, 1965;GREENLEE and Ross, 1967). However, EFM remain also in adults at the surfaces of elastic fibers as regular constituents laryngeal surface.…”
