Skeletal myoblast differentiation is controlled by a multitude of transcription factors and signal pathways. Myogenin is a critical transcriptional regulator in the initiation and maintenance of myoblast differentiation. The Akt/FoxO1 signal pathway plays an important role in myoblast differentiation. MicroRNAs are a kind of small noncoding RNAs that have been regarded as important regulators in skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of microRNA-27a (miR-27a) on myogenin expression and Akt/FoxO1 signal pathway during porcine myoblast differentiation. Here, we found that the expression of miR-27a was gradually diminished at the early differentiation stage and then rebounded. Overexpression of miR-27a suppressed the mRNA and protein expression levels of myogenin during porcine myoblast differentiation, whereas inhibition of miR-27a promoted the mRNA and protein expression levels of myogenin. In addition, overexpression of miR-27a decreased the level of P-Akt/Akt and increased the protein level of FoxO1; however, inhibition of miR-27a increased the level of P-Akt/Akt and decreased the protein level of FoxO1. The present study demonstrated that miR-27a could inhibit myogenin expression and Akt/FoxO1 signal pathway during porcine myoblast differentiation.

An actin-binding protein, known as Calponin 3 (CNN3), modulates the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, a fundamental process for the maintenance of skeletal muscle homeostasis. Although the roles of CNN3 in actin remodeling have been established, its biological significance in myoblast differentiation remains largely unknown. This study investigated the functional significance of CNN3 in myogenic differentiation, along with its effects on actin remodeling and mechanosensitive signaling in C2C12 myoblasts.

Developing scaffolds supporting functional cell attachment and tissue growth is critical in basic cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine approaches. Though poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and its derivatives are attractive for hydrogels and scaffold fabrication, they often require bioactive modifications due to their bioinert nature. In this work, biomimetic synthesized conductive polypyrrole-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) copolymer doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PPy-PEDOT:PSS) was used as a biocompatible coating for poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel to support neuronal and muscle cells' attachment, activity, and differentiation.

Skeletal muscle (SM) is essential for movement, stability, and overall body function, and it readily adapts to changes in energy demand. Myogenesis is energy-intensive and involves complex molecular and cellular events. We recently demonstrated that the absence of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) significantly impacts the SM phenotype, primarily by disrupting energy homeostasis and reducing ATP production.

Mitochondria play a fundamental role in energy metabolism, particularly in high-energy-demand tissues such as skeletal muscle. Understanding the proteomic composition of mitochondria in these cells is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms underlying muscle physiology and pathology. However, effective isolation of mitochondria from primary human skeletal muscle cells has been challenging due to the complex cellular architecture and the propensity for contamination with other organelles.

Pigs are important agricultural animals whose growth rate and meat production performance are related to muscle development. Musculoskeletal embryonic nuclear protein 1 (MUSTN1) participates in various biological processes, including myogenesis and growth in animals, but the physiological functions and mechanisms of porcine MUSTN1 on muscle development are unclear; thus, we aimed to elucidate them. We found that MUSTN1 was highly expressed in the muscles of fast-growing pigs.
