Abstract |
In the skeletal muscle, nuclei are positioned at the periphery of each myofiber and are evenly distributed along its length. Improper positioning of myonuclei has been correlated with muscle disease and decreased muscle function. Several mechanisms required for regulating nuclear position have been identified using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The conservation of the myofiber between the fly and vertebrates, the availability of advanced genetic tools, and the ability to visualize dynamic processes using fluorescent proteins in vivo makes the fly an excellent system to study myonuclear positioning. This chapter describes time-lapse and fixed imaging methodologies using both the Drosophila embryo and the larva to investigate mechanisms of myonuclear positioning. |
