To determine the role of estrogen in skeletal muscle growth, we investigated estrogen receptor-mediated effects on proliferation in skeletal myoblasts. In L6, C2C12 and Sol8 myoblasts estrogen receptor was demonstrated by immunoblotting, immunofluorescence microscopy and transfection studies. Estrone induced a significant increase in myoblast growth whereas 17 beta-estradiol had no effect. Furthermore in L6-cells estrone (c-fos: 3.9-fold, egr-1: 4.6-fold) induced immediate-early gene induction significantly stronger than 17 beta-estradiol (c-fos: 1.7-fold, egr-1: 2.3-fold; p < 0.05). Skeletal myoblasts express functional estrogen receptors. Estrogens differ in the activation of skeletal myoblast growth and immediate-early gene induction.

The process of mammalian myogenesis is fundamental to understanding muscle development and holds broad relevance across multiple fields, from developmental biology to regenerative medicine. This review highlights two key aspects: myoblast proliferation and the role of cilia in this process. Myoblasts, as muscle precursor cells, must undergo tightly regulated cycles of proliferation and differentiation to ensure proper muscle growth and function.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the MRF gene family members and slaughter characteristics in Saanen kids with varying slaughter weights. Twenty male kids of the Turkish Saanen breed were individually fattened for 60 days after weaning under an intensive management system. The kids were divided into two groups: low slaughter weight (L; = 11; ≤29 kg) and high slaughter weight (H; = 13; >29) at the end of the fattening.

Porcine latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) is a crucial source of pork products. Meat quality indicators, such as the proportion of muscle fibers and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition, vary during the growth and development of pigs. Numerous studies have highlighted the heterogeneous nature of skeletal muscle, with phenotypic differences reflecting variations in cellular composition and transcriptional profiles.

Background: Regeneration is the replacement of lost or damaged tissue with a functional copy. In axolotls and zebrafish, regeneration involves stem cells produced by de-differentiation. These cells form a growth zone which expresses developmental patterning genes at its apex.

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.
