| Abstract: | The effects of potassium chloride on the expression of IGF-1 splice forms and myoblast proliferation were investigated. KCl at the concentrations of 7–12 mM stimulated the synthesis of IGF-1 and mechano growth factor (MGF) in murine myoblasts as well as in myotubes both at the mRNA and protein levels. Pan-calcium channel blocker CdCl2 completely abolished stimulation of growth factor expression, whereas blocker of HCN and Nav1.4 channels ZD7288 drastically reduced it. In addition, potassium chloride stimulated myoblast proliferation, while IGF-1 autocrine signaling inhibition partially suppressed these mitogenic effects. |
