Abstract:The Ras-MAPK pathway is aberrantly regulated in cancer and developmental diseases called RASopathies. While the impact of Ras on proliferation is typically assessed on various cancer cell lines, it is poorly established how Ras affects cellular differentiation.Here we implement the C2C12 myoblast cell line to systematically study the effect of Ras mutants and Ras-pathway drugs on differentiation. We first provide evidence that the Pax7+ progenitors divide asymmetrically to replenish the major pool of transit a… Show more
