Pannexins constitute a family of three glycoproteins (Panx1, -2, and -3) forming single membrane channels. Recent work demonstrated that Panx1 is expressed in skeletal muscle and involved in the potentiation of contraction. However, Panxs functions in skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and proliferation had yet to be assessed. We show here that Panx1 and Panx3, but not Panx2, are present in human and rodent skeletal muscle, and their various species are differentially expressed in fetal versus adult human skeletal muscle tissue. Panx1 levels were very low in undifferentiated human primary skeletal muscle cells and myoblasts (HSMM) but increased drastically during differentiation and became the main Panx expressed in differentiated cells. Using HSMM, we found that Panx1 expression promotes this process, whereas it was impaired in the presence of probenecid or carbenoxolone. As for Panx3, its lower molecular weight species were prominent in adult skeletal muscle but very low in the fetal tissue and in undifferentiated skeletal muscle cells and myoblasts. Its overexpression (∼43-kDa species) induced HSMM differentiation and also inhibited their proliferation. On the other hand, a ∼70-kDa immunoreactive species of Panx3, likely glycosylated, sialylated, and phosphorylated, was highly expressed in proliferative myoblasts but strikingly down-regulated during their differentiation. Reduction of its endogenous expression using two Panx3 shRNAs significantly inhibited HSMM proliferation without triggering their differentiation. In summary, our results demonstrate that Panx1 and Panx3 are co-expressed in human skeletal muscle myoblasts and play a pivotal role in dictating the proliferation and differentiation status of these cells.  相似文献

Voltage-dependent L-type Ca+ channels of the C2C12 line myoblasts of mice have been studied at the stage of proliferation and 24 h after the beginning of differentiation. The expression of genesCacna1s, Cacna1c, Cacna1d, and Cacna1f, which encode channel forming subunits α1S, α1C, α1D, and α1F, respectively, has been assessed. The expression of genes Cacna2d and Cacn1g, which encode the α2, δ, and γ regulatory subunits, has been studied as well. For the first time, the expression of Cacna1d, which is typical for nerve cells, has been revealed in proliferating myoblasts, whereas in differentiating mononuclear myoblasts the expression of this gene was significantly decreased. On the contrary, the low level of expression of Cacna1S, which encodes the specific α1S channel forming subunit of skeletal muscles, has been observed in proliferating myoblasts, whereas in differentiating mononuclear myoblasts it has been shown to increase multifold. No considerable changes in expression of Cacna2d and Cacn1g have been revealed in proliferating and differentiating myoblasts. No traces of expression of Cacna1c and Cacna1f have been revealed in myoblasts.  相似文献

Human skeletal muscle precursor cells (myoblasts) have significant therapeutic potential and are a valuable research tool to study muscle cell biology. Oxygen is a critical factor in the successful culture of myoblasts with low (1–6%) oxygen culture conditions enhancing the proliferation, differentiation, and/or viability of mouse, rat, and bovine myoblasts. The specific effects of low oxygen depend on the myoblast source and oxygen concentration; however, variable oxygen conditions have not been tested in the culture of human myoblasts. In this study, muscle precursor cells were isolated from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies and myoblast cultures were established in 5% oxygen, before being divided into physiological (5%) or standard (20%) oxygen conditions for experimental analysis. Five percent oxygen increased proliferating myoblast numbers, and since low oxygen had no significant effect on myoblast viability, this increase in cell number was attributed to enhanced proliferation. The proportion of cells in the S (DNA synthesis) phase of the cell cycle was increased by 50%, and p21Cip1 gene and protein expression was decreased in 5 versus 20% oxygen. Unlike in rodent and bovine myoblasts, the increase in myoD, myogenin, creatine kinase, and myosin heavy chain IIa gene expression during differentiation was similar in 5 and 20% oxygen; as was myotube hypertrophy. These data indicate for the first time that low oxygen culture conditions stimulate proliferation, whilst maintaining (but not enhancing) the viability and the differentiation potential of human primary myoblasts and should be considered as optimum conditions for ex-vivo expansion of these cells.  相似文献

A cell culture consisting mainly of satellite cells and mononuclear myoblasts was derived from femoral muscles of infant (aged 3–7 days) and adult rats. Satellite cells identified by expression of the specific marker Pax7 accounted for approximately 80% of the isolated cell fraction. Mononuclear myoblasts represented by proliferating and postmitotic cell pools were identified immunocytochemically by the expression of markers Ki67 and desmin. Differentiation of satellite cells and myoblasts in the culture depended on the concentration of Ca2+ in the culture medium (F12 with different Ca2+ concentrations or DMEM). Differentiation of myogenic cells manifested in myoblasts fusion, formation of myotubes, and expression of myosin in myofibrils was observed only in the medium with a high Ca2+ concentration (2mM). Satellite cells and myoblasts from the muscles of newborn and adult rats did not differ noticeably in their capacity for differentiation.  相似文献

Background information. Aging of human skeletal muscle results in a decline in muscle mass and force, and excessive turnover of muscle fibres, such as in muscular dystrophies, further increases this decline. Although it has been shown in rodents, by cross‐age transplantation of whole muscles, that the environment plays an important role in this process, the implication of proliferating aging of the muscle progenitors has been poorly investigated, particularly in humans, since the regulation of cell proliferation differs between rodents and humans. The myogenic differentiation of human myoblasts is regulated by the muscle‐specific regulatory factors. Cross‐talk between the muscle‐specific regulatory factors and the cell cycle regulators is essential for differentiation. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of replicative senescence on the myogenic programme of human myoblasts. Results. We showed that senescent myoblasts, which could not re‐enter the cell cycle, are still able to differentiate and form multinucleated myotubes. However, these myotubes are significantly smaller. The expression of muscle‐specific regulatory factors and cell cycle regulators was analysed in proliferating myoblasts and compared with senescent cells. We have observed a delay and a decrease in the muscle‐specific regulatory factors and the cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor p57 during the early step of differentiation in senescent myoblasts, as well as an increase in the fibroblastic markers. Conclusions. Our results demonstrate that replicative senescence alters the expression of the factors triggering muscle differentiation in human myoblasts and could play a role in the regenerative defects observed in muscular diseases and during normal skeletal‐muscle aging.  相似文献

Background

Angiopoietin-1 (ANGPT1) and angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) are angiogenesis factors that modulate endothelial cell differentiation, survival and stability. Recent studies have suggested that skeletal muscle precursor cells constitutively express ANGPT1 and adhere to recombinant ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 proteins. It remains unclear whether or not they also express ANGPT2, or if ANGPT2 regulates the myogenesis program of muscle precursors. In this study, ANGPT2 regulatory factors and the effects of ANGPT2 on proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival were identified in cultured primary skeletal myoblasts. The cellular networks involved in the actions of ANGPT2 on skeletal muscle cells were also analyzed.

Methodology/Principal Findings

Primary skeletal myoblasts were isolated from human and mouse muscles. Skeletal myoblast survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation were measured in-vitro in response to recombinant ANGPT2 protein and to enhanced ANGPT2 expression delivered with adenoviruses. Real-time PCR and ELISA measurements revealed the presence of constitutive ANGPT2 expression in these cells. This expression increased significantly during myoblast differentiation into myotubes. In human myoblasts, ANGPT2 expression was induced by H2O2, but not by TNFα, IL1β or IL6. ANGPT2 significantly enhanced myoblast differentiation and survival, but had no influence on proliferation or migration. ANGPT2-induced survival was mediated through activation of the ERK1/2 and PI-3 kinase/AKT pathways. Microarray analysis revealed that ANGPT2 upregulates genes involved in the regulation of cell survival, protein synthesis, glucose uptake and free fatty oxidation.

Conclusion/Significance

Skeletal muscle precursors constitutively express ANGPT2 and this expression is upregulated during differentiation into myotubes. Reactive oxygen species exert a strong stimulatory influence on muscle ANGPT2 expression while pro-inflammatory cytokines do not. ANGPT2 promotes skeletal myoblast survival and differentiation. These results suggest that muscle-derived ANGPT2 production may play a positive role in skeletal muscle fiber repair.  相似文献

Background

Several muscle-specific microRNAs (myomiRs) are differentially expressed during cellular senescence. However, the role of dietary compounds on myomiRs remains elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the modulatory role of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) on myomiRs and myogenic genes during differentiation of human myoblasts. Young and senescent human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMM) were treated with 50 μg/mL TRF for 24 h before and after inducing differentiation.

Results

The fusion index and myotube surface area were higher (p?<?0.05) on days 3 and 5 than that on day 1 of differentiation. Ageing reduced the differentiation rate, as observed by a decrease in both fusion index and myotube surface area in senescent cells (p?<?0.05). Treatment with TRF significantly increased differentiation at days 1, 3 and 5 of young and senescent myoblasts. In senescent myoblasts, TRF increased the expression of miR-206 and miR-486 and decreased PTEN and PAX7 expression. However, the expression of IGF1R was upregulated during early differentiation and decreased at late differentiation when treated with TRF. In young myoblasts, TRF promoted differentiation by modulating the expression of miR-206, which resulted in the reduction of PAX7 expression and upregulation of IGF1R.

Conclusion

TRF can potentially promote myoblast differentiation by modulating the expression of myomiRs, which regulate the expression of myogenic genes.

Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a class 1 histone deacetylase and a member of the cohesin complex. HDAC8 is expressed in smooth muscles, but its expression in skeletal muscle has not been described. We have shown for the first time that HDAC8 is expressed in human and zebrafish skeletal muscles. Using RD/12 and RD/18 rhabdomyosarcoma cells with low and high differentiation potency, respectively, we highlighted a specific correlation with HDAC8 expression and an advanced stage of muscle differentiation. We inhibited HDAC8 activity through a specific PCI-34051 inhibitor in murine C2C12 myoblasts and zebrafish embryos, and we observed skeletal muscles differentiation impairment. We also found a positive regulation of the canonical Wnt signaling by HDAC8 that might explain muscle differentiation defects. These findings suggest a novel mechanism through which HDAC8 expression, in a specific time window of skeletal muscle development, positively regulates canonical Wnt pathway that is necessary for muscle differentiation.  相似文献

Regulation of skeletal muscle development requires many of the regulatory networks that are fundamental to developmental myogenesis. ErbB3 binding protein‐1 (Ebp1) is involved in the control of myoblasts development in chicken. However, the expression and biological functions of Ebp1 in the progress of myogenesis are unclear. This study focused on determining the effect of Ebp1 on myogenic proliferation and differentiation using a primary myoblasts culture model. Ebp1 was found to upregulate in proliferating myoblasts and decrease at the early stage of myogenic differentiation. The level of endogenous Ebp1 increased from E9 to E20 chicken leg muscles. Knockdown of Ebp1 had no effect on myoblasts proliferation. However, myogenic differentiation into multinucleated myotubes was significantly reduced. The mRNA and protein expression of MRFs was decreased when Ebp1 was knocked down. Downregulation of Ebp1, accompanied by elevated levels of pSMAD2/3, suggests that Ebp1 is involved in regulating myogenic differentiation via SMAD2/3 inhibition. The phosphorylation of SMAD2/3 was activated and the expression of MYOD and MYOG was reduced in Ebp1 knockdown myoblasts, but addition of LY2109761 (an inhibitor specified to SMAD2/3) blocked these effects. Collectively, these results indicate that Ebp1 promotes myoblast differentiation by inhibition of SMAD2/3 signaling pathway during chicken myogenesis. These data provide new insights into the biological role of Ebp1 in embryonic chicken skeletal muscle development.  相似文献

The possibility of differential effects of triiodothyronine (T3) treatmentin vivoon myoblast and fibroblast cell proliferation was examined in control andmdxmuscle cultures. Cell isolates were purified in a Percoll gradient, sorted by flow cytometry (light scatter), and characterized as myoblasts and fibroblasts using anti-skeletal muscle myosin fluorescence. The two cell types were grown separately or remixed (1:1). Cultures were incubated with or without T3 (10−9M) for 19 h. Cells were either exposed to [3H]thymidine for 1 h and DNA prepared for scintillation counts or stained with propidium iodide for cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry. Overall [3H]thymidine uptake per cell was greater inmdxthan control cells (mainly fibroblasts and mixed cells) and was decreased by T3 only in myoblast and mixed cultures. Cell cycle data showed that the effects of T3 originated primarily at the G0/G1phase. There were moremdxthan control myoblasts at G0/G1without T3. After T3 treatment, more control fibroblasts than myoblasts were at G0/G1, but moremdxmyoblasts than fibroblasts were at G0/G1. In the absence of T3, there were also fewermdxthan control myoblasts in S. After T3, only the proportion ofmdxmyoblasts in S phase was reduced. Results are consistent with distinct T3 effects on muscle regenerationin vivoand support the hypothesis that cycling and proliferation ofmdxand control myoblasts are differentially modulated by T3. As control andmdxfibroblasts also showed distinct responses to T3, muscle regeneration likely occurs by a complex regulation of gene expression endogenous to specific cell types as well as interactions between cells of different lineage.  相似文献

Selenoprotein W during development and oxidative stress   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Selenium is involved in prevention of cancer, heart and muscle diseases, is implicated in immune function, fertility and in delaying the aging process. Selenium deficiency is harmful to brain, heart and skeletal muscles. Selenoprotein W, a member of the selenoprotein family was expressed in developing nervous system, skeletal muscles and heart in mice. Selenoprotein W was highly expressed in proliferating myoblasts and less or not in differentiated myotubes. Selenoprotein W exhibited an immediate response to oxidative stress in proliferating myoblasts, after exposure to hydrogen peroxide, similar to gluteraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. We suggest that Selenoprotein W is involved in muscle growth and differentiation by protecting the developing myoblasts from oxidative stress.  相似文献
