PEAR1, also known as platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1, is known to play a crucial role in the migration and differentiation of muscle satellite cells (MuSCs). However, its specific effects on skeletal muscle development and regeneration require further exploration. In this study, the expression of PEAR1; the proliferation marker proteins of Pax7, CCNB1, and PCNA; and the key molecules of N1-ICD, N2-ICD, and Hes1 were all increased gradually during the process of C2C12 cell proliferation.

Previous studies have shown that vitamin C (VC), an essential vitamin for the human body, can promote the differentiation of muscle satellite cells (MuSCs) and play an important role in skeletal muscle post-injury regeneration. However, the molecular mechanism of VC regulating MuSC proliferation has not been elucidated. In this study, the role of VC in promoting MuSC proliferation and its molecular mechanism were explored using cell molecular biology and animal experiments.

Article Synopsis
  • Leucine (Leu) is an essential amino acid that promotes skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and this study investigates its effects through the Leu sensor protein Sestrin2 (SESN2) and the signaling factor ribophorin II (RPN2).
  • Adding Leu to C2C12 cells enhanced differentiation and accelerated muscle damage repair by increasing specific proteins like MYOD and RPN2, while manipulating RPN2 levels impacted these processes.
  • The findings suggest that Leu activates the GSK3β/β-catenin pathway via SESN2 and RPN2, which is crucial for both muscle cell differentiation and recovery from injury, providing insights for potential treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is crucial for growth and can't be produced by animals; its role in muscle development is explored in this study.
  • CNCbl promotes the differentiation of C2C12 cells and activates key proteins in the TGF-β signaling pathway, but inhibiting its receptor CD320 reduces its effects on muscle markers.
  • The study also shows that injecting CNCbl speeds up muscle repair in mice and enhances muscle fiber growth through upregulation of specific proteins related to muscle development.

Previous studies have reported that vitamin C (VC), an essential nutrient, exerts beneficial effects on muscle health. However, the molecular mechanism involved in the VC-mediated regulation of muscle development is still unclear. The roles of VC in muscle development and the underlying molecular mechanisms were examined using cell and molecular biology, transcriptomics, proteomics, and animal experiments in this study.

Rumen epithelium plays an essential role in absorption, transport, and metabolism of short-chain fatty acids, the main products of rumen fermentation, and in preventing microbes and other potentially harmful rumen contents from entering the systemic circulation. The objective of this study was to generate an immortal rumen epithelial cell line that can be used as a convenient model of rumen epithelial cells in vitro. We isolated primary rumen epithelial cells from a steer through trypsin digestion and transduced them with lentiviruses expressing the Simian Virus (SV) 40 T antigen.

Myocilin (MYOC) is a glycoprotein encoded by a gene associated with glaucoma pathology. In addition to the eyes, it also expresses at high transcription levels in the heart and skeletal muscle. MYOC affects the formation of the murine gastrocnemius muscle and is associated with the differentiation of mouse osteoblasts, but its role in the differentiation of C2C12 cells has not yet been reported.

As an extracellular matrix protein, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC)-like 1 (SPARCL1) is involved in various cell functions. It was previously implicated in bovine skeletal muscle-derived satellite cell (MDSC) differentiation; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry revealed that integrin β1 (ITGB1) combines with SPARCL1.

Skeletal muscle is one of the most important tissues of the human body necessary for sporting activities. The differentiation of muscle-derived satellite cells (MDSCs) plays an important role in the development and regeneration of skeletal muscles. Similarly, the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway plays an important role in the process of muscle differentiation.

  • FNDC4 is a member of the fibronectin type III domain protein family and its expression increases during the differentiation of C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells.
  • FNDC4 promotes muscle repair and affects the expression of key myogenic markers, indicating its role in muscle cell differentiation.
  • The protein interacts with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and its knockdown reduces β-catenin levels, showing that FNDC4 activates this signaling to influence muscle differentiation.

T-complex 11 like 2 (TCP11L2) is a protein containing a serine-rich region in its N-terminal region. However, the function of TCP11L2 is unclear. Here, we showed that TCP11L2 expression gradually increased during muscle-derived satellite cell (MDSC) differentiation in vitro, reaching a peak on Day 3, which is the migration and fusion stage of MDSCs.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is known to regulate tissue development and cell morphology, movement, and differentiation. SPARCL1 is an ECM protein, but its role in mouse cell differentiation has not been widely investigated. The results of western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that SPARCL1 is associated with the repair of muscle damage in mice and that SPARCL1 binds to bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) by regulating BMP/transforming growth factor (TGF)-β cell signaling.

Muscle satellite cells are usually at rest, and when externally stimulated or regulated, they can be further differentiated by cell fusion to form new myotubes and muscle fibers. WD repeat domain 13 (WDR13) is highly conserved in vertebrates. Studies have shown that mice lacking the Wdr13 gene develop mild obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and increased islet β cell proliferation.

The glucose-regulated endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein 94 (GRP94) is required for many biological processes, such as secretion of immune factors and mesoderm induction. Here, we demonstrated that GRP94 promotes muscle differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, GRP94 inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Article Synopsis
  • Podocan is a small protein that negatively regulates cell growth and is essential for the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts, as its expression increases during this process.
  • Knocking down podocan using siRNA inhibits muscle cell differentiation and reduces key differentiation markers, while overexpressing it enhances differentiation.
  • The involvement of podocan in this process is linked to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, with findings suggesting it plays a role in muscle regeneration following injury.

MicroRNAs play an important regulatory role in the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle-derived satellite cells (MDSCs). In particular, miR-139 can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and invasion, and its expression is down-regulated during C2C12 myoblast differentiation. The aim of this study was thus to examine the effect and potential mechanism of miR-139 in bovine MDSCs.
