On the other hand, regardless of the status (quiescent fast and slow twitch fibers, myotubes in transition or degenerating) the muscle cells exhibit plasma membrane p27 staining.
In vivo footprinting analysis shows that SRF is constitutively bound to the SRE in both quiescent and growth factor stimulated cells [ 6].
The ERα immunoreactivity was lowest in quiescent cells and highest in parental cells during asymmetric division.
, transduction by retrovirus and selection for drug resistance) produces immortal cell lines with limited transformation phenotypes [ 4 5 ] . However, expression of Tag has profound effects on the cell cycle, significantly reducing cell doubling time and increasing saturation density [ 4 5 6 ] . These direct effects of Tag result from binding and inactivation of the retinoblastoma family proteins (p130, Rb, p107) and the tumor suppressor, p53 [ 7 8 9 ] . Tag is rate limiting for G 1 transit, and this effect (as well as saturation density and growth in soft agar) is Tag-dose dependent [ 3 10 11 12 ] . Since the cell lines in this study are capable of entering a quiescent state at saturation density [ 6 ] , one might expect that the levels of Tag would decrease at saturation and as cells progressively slow down as a function of cell density.
They then essentially starved the cells so that they shut down normal metabolic function, entering a "quiescent" state, in which dedifferentiation apparently occurs.
