Abstract
As cellular transcription factors and DNA replicators, nuclear factor I (NFI) family members play an important role in mammalian development. However, there is still a lack of research on the muscle regeneration of NFI family members in cattle. In this study, the analysis of NFI family factors was conducted on their characterization, phylogenetics, and functional domains. We found that NFI family members were relatively conserved among different species, but there was heterogeneity in amino acid sequences, DNA coding sequences, and functional domain among members. Furthermore, among NFI family factors, we observed that NFIC exhibited highly expression in bovine muscle tissues, particularly influencing the expression of proliferation marker genes in myoblasts. To investigate the influence of NFIC on myoblast proliferation, we knocked down NFIC (si-NFIC) and found that the proliferation of myoblasts was significantly promoted. In terms of regulation mechanism, we identified that si-NFIC could counteract the inhibitory effect of the cell cycle inhibitor RO-3306. Interestingly, CENPF, as the downstream target gene of NFIC, could affect the expression of CDK1, CCNB1, and actively regulate the cell cycle pathway and cell proliferation. In addition, when CENPF was knocked down, the phosphorylation of p53 and the expression of Bax were increased, but the expression of Bcl2 was inhibited. Our findings mainly highlight the mechanism by which NFIC acts on the CENPF/CDK1 axis to regulate the proliferation of bovine myoblasts.

Abstract
In embryonic development, the vertebral column arises from the sclerotomal compartment of the somites. The sclerotome is a mesenchymal cell mass which can be subdivided into several subpopulations specified by different regulatory mechanisms and giving rise to different parts of the vertebrae like vertebral body, vertebral arch, ribs, and vertebral joints. This review gives a short overview on the molecular and cellular basis of the formation of sclerotomal subdomains and the morphogenesis of their vertebral derivatives.

Abstract
The kidney plays an integral role in filtering the blood-removing metabolic by-products from the body and regulating blood pressure. This requires the establishment of large numbers of efficient and specialized blood filtering units (nephrons) that incorporate a system for vascular exchange and nutrient reabsorption as well as a collecting duct system to remove waste (urine) from the body. Kidney development is a dynamic process which generates these structures through a delicately balanced program of self-renewal and commitment of nephron progenitor cells that inhabit a constantly evolving cellular niche at the tips of a branching ureteric "tree." The former cells build the nephrons and the latter the collecting duct system. Maintaining these processes across fetal development is critical for establishing the normal "endowment" of nephrons in the kidney and perturbations to this process are associated both with mutations in integral genes and with alterations to the fetal environment.

Abstract
The elaboration of functional kidneys during embryonic development proceeds in a stepwise manner, starting with the formation of the embryonic pro- and mesonephros, followed by the induction and growth of the final metanephric kidney. These early stages of urinary tract development are critical for the embryo as a failure in pro/mesonephros morphogenesis leads to major developmental defects, often incompatible with life. The formation of the pro/mesonephros and its central component the nephric duct, is also interesting as it offers a relatively simple system to study cell biological behaviours underlying tissue morphogenesis. This system is especially well adapted to study the questions of cell lineage specification, epithelial integrity and plasticity, tissue interactions, collective cell migration/guidance and programmed cell death. In this review, we establish the link between these cell behaviours, their molecular regulators and early genitourinary tract development.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes has an adverse impact on fetal musculoskeletal development, but the mechanism involved is still not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of high glucose on the developing somites and their derivate using the chick embryo as a model. We demonstrated that under high glucose, the number of generated somites was reduced and their morphology altered in 2-day old chick embryos. In addition, high glucose repressed the development of the limb buds in 5.5-day old chick embryos. We also demonstrated that high glucose abridged the development of the sclerotome and the cartilage in the developing limb bud. The sonic hedgehog (Shh) gene has been reported to play a crucial role in the development and differentiation of sclerotome. Hence, we examined how Shh expression in the sclerotome was affected under high glucose. We found that high glucose treatment significantly inhibited Shh expression. The high glucose also impaired myotome formation at trunk level - as revealed by immunofluorescent staining with MF20 antibodies. In the neural tube, we established that Wnt3a expression was also significantly repressed. In summary, our study demonstrates that high glucose concentrations impair somite and limb bud development in chick embryos, and suggests that Shh and Wnt genes may play a role in the underlying mechanism.
