Integrin-mediated cell adhesion plays a central role in cell behavior on biomaterial surfaces and influences various cell functions. Photoactivatable RGD adhesive peptides were used to investigate the effect of the density and time point of bioadhesive ligand presentation on cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. PEGylated self-assembled monolayers were functionalized with RGD and caged RGD ligands and seeded with C2C12 myoblasts. The cultures were irradiated at various time points between 1 and 48 h after cell seeding in order to increase RGD surface concentration at defined time points. Attachment, spreading and myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts strongly varied with the density of RGD at the surface. Proliferation and myogenesis were further regulated by the time point at which RGD was presented to the cell, reaching highest levels when RGD exposure occurred≤6 h after cell seeding. These results provide fundamental insights in cell-biomaterial interactions of C2C12 myoblasts in terms of temporal integrin-mediated cell responses.

N6-methyladenosine (mA), a well-known post-transcriptional modification, is implicated in diverse cellular and physiological processes. However, much remains unknown regarding the precise role and mechanism of mA modification on muscle development. In this study, we make observation that the levels of mA and METTL3 are markedly elevated during the differentiation phase (DM) compared to the growth phase (GM) in both C2C12 and bovine myoblasts.

Mammalian genome is hierarchically organized by CTCF and cohesin through loop extrusion mechanism to facilitate the organization of topologically associating domains (TADs). Mounting evidence suggests additional factors/mechanisms exist to orchestrate TAD formation and maintenance. In this study, we investigate the potential role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in TAD organization.

Cells perceive external and internally generated forces of different kinds, significantly impacting their cellular biology. In the relatively nascent field of mechanobiology, the impact of such forces is studied and further utilized to broaden the knowledge of cellular developmental pathways, disease progression, tissue engineering, and developing novel regenerative strategies. However, extensive considerations of mechanotransduction pathways for biomedical applications are still broadly limited due to a lack of affordable technologies in terms of devices and simple magnetic actuatable materials.

Skeletal muscle aging poses a major threat to the health and quality of life of elderly individuals. Fisetin, a natural polyphenolic compound, exhibits various biological activities; however, its role in preventing skeletal muscle cell aging is still unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of fisetin on skeletal muscle aging using a d-galactose-induced C2C12 myoblast senescence model.
