SOCS-3와 IGF-I은 근육의 분화 과정 및 근비대 기전에 있어 매우 중요한 조절자 역할을 하는 유전자 및 성장인 자이며, 최근 골격근에서 IGF-I과 SOCS-3 유전자의 상호작용에 관한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 C2C12 myotube에서 IGF-I이 SOCS-3 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 4일간 분화시킨 C2C12 myotube에 IGF-I을 다양한 농도(0-200 ng/ml) 및 시간(3-72 시간)에 따라 처리하였다. 그 결과 IGF-I이 SOCS-3 유전자의 단백질 발현을 시간 의존적으로 유의하게 증가시켰으며, 3 시간에서 mRNA 발현을 증가시키고, 시간이 지남에 따라 긴 시간에서는 농도 의존적으로 발현이 감소하였음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 면역형광 염색을 통해 IGF-I이 myotube에서 SOCS-3의 단백질을 발현 시켰음을 뚜렷하게 관찰 할 수 있었다. 위 결과들을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 IGF-I의 처리가 분화된 근육 세포인 C2C12 myotube에서 SOCS-3 유전자 발현에 유의한 영향을 미쳤음을 증명하였다. 이러한 결과는 선행연구에서 보고한 운동이 SOCS-3 유전자 발현을 증가시킴에 있어서 IGF-I이 중추적인 역할을 한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 IGF-I에 의한 SOCS-3 유전자 발현 조절 기전에 있어 관련 신호 전달체계 및 골격근 관련 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 보다 더 이루어져야 할 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 EMS를 건강기능식품으로 활용하기 위한 기초적인 데이터를 제공하기 위해 EMS가 DEX으로 유도한 근위축 C2C12 모델에서 미치는 보호 효과를 조사하고자 하였다. DEX를 처리한 근위축 모델을 확립하였다. 그리고 DEX으로 유도한 근위축 C2C12 myotube에 24시간 동안 10, 50, 100 ㎍/mL 농도의 EMS를 처리하였으며, C2C12에 EMS와 DEX를 처리하여 XTT 세포독성 테스트와 myotube 형성 효능(myotube diameter와 fusion index) 측정, 단백질 발현량 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 기능성을 입증받은 SE를 positive control로 사용하였다. EMS의 세포독성 평가 결과, 100 ㎍/mL 농도까지 유의한 독성이 없는 것을 확인하였다. C2C12 myotube에서 EMS는 DEX만 처리한 실험군과 비교하여 모든 농도에서 유의적으로 세포 보호 효능이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 fusion index와 myotube diameter를 측정하여 DEX만 처리한 실험군과 비교하였을 때, EMS의 myotube 형성 효능을 확인하였다. EMS는 근육세포 분해 관련 단백질인 Fbx32와 MuRF1의 발현을 감소시키고, 그와 반대로 근력 강화 및 합성과 관련된 단백질인 SIRT1과 p-Akt/Akt의 발현은 증가시켰다. 이러한 연구결과는 EMS가 건강기능식품 개발의 성분으로 활용될 수 있으며, in vivo 동물 모델에서도 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of Biochanin A on glucose uptake in C2C12 myotube. We found that Biochanin A significantly stimulated 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, AMPK and PPAR-gamma activities were markedly increased by Biochanin A in a dose-dependent manner. However, Akt, an insulin dependent signaling molecule, did not change by Biochanin A. These results suggest that Biochanin A stimulates glucose uptake via AMPK and PPAR-gamma pathways.

골격근 세포의 분화는 근육특이 유전자들의 전사적 활성과 근육아세포에서 근육소관으로의 형태적 분화로 특징지어진다. 본 연구에서는 TSA가 근육형성의 일련의 과정에서 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성과 융합에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대조군과 비교해서 TSA가 처리된 C2C12 myoblast는 융합하여 근육소관을 형성할 수 없었으며 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성은 억제되었다. 이런 현상들이 TSA에 의한 직접적인 것인지 알아보기 위해서 TSA가 처리되지 않고 분화를 유도하기 위해서 사용된 배지를 농축하여 C2C12 myoblast에 TSA와 함께 동시에 처리하였다. 그 결과 세포는 융합하여 근육소관을 형성하였으며 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성이 회복되었다. 이러한 결과는 TSA가 아마도 여러 관련 인자들을 통해 myoblast의 융합과 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성을 억제함으로 근육형성과정에 영향을 미침을 시사한다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-atrophic effect of polycan in dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in vitro model. Methods : C2C12 myoblast were differentiated into myotube by 2% horese serum medium for 6 days, and then treated polycan extract at different concentrations for 24h. The effect of dexamethasone on the induction of muscle atrophy and expression of atrophy-related genes in differentiated C2C12 myotubes using a GSH, ROS, real-time PCR, western blots analysis. Results : The results showed that Treatment with polycan (100 and 200 ㎍/㎖) noncytotoxic levels on both myoblast and myotube. Polycan decreased the ROS level overproduced with dexamethasone and improved the depletion of GSH level. Dexamethasone showed a decrease in myotube diameter, which was associated with up-regulation muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases markers, such as atrogin-1, FoxO3, myostatin and muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF1), and down-regulation of myogenin, MEF2, Myogenic regulatory factor 5, 6 and MyoD. The results showed that polycan treatment significantly dose-dependently inhibited it. Furthermore, decreased expressions of PI3K/Akt signal pathway by dexamethasone were reversed by treatment with polycan. Conclusions : Thus, polycan suppresses dexamethasone induced muscle atrophy in C2C12 myotube in vitro model through activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and protective effect of improve skeletal muscle function.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the synergistic protective effects of medicinal herbal mixture (HME) including Mori Ramulus (MR), Acanthopanacis Cortex (AC), Eucommiae Cortex (EC), and Black soybean (BS) in C2C12 cells, mouse myoblasts. Methods : Effects of HME on cell viability of C2C12 myoblasts were monitored by MTT assay. Anti-atrophic activity of HME was determined in myoblasts and myotubes under oxidative stress by H₂O₂. C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in a medium containing 2% horse serum for 6 days. After that, we measured that expression of MyoD and myogenine, the myogenic regulatory factors, to identify the mechanism of inhibiting muscle atophy after HME treatment. In addition, suppression of phosphorylation of Akt, FoxO3a and MARF-1, transcription factors of degradation proteins were analyzed via western blotting. Results : As a result of MTT, HME there was no show cytotoxicity up to a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The cytoprotective effects on oxidative stressed myoblast and myotube was better in HME extract than those of MR, AC, EU, and BS, respectively. HME treatment in Myotube induced by oxidative stress after H₂O₂ treatment increased Myo D, Myogenine activation, and Akt, FoxO3a phosphorylation and decreased expression of MuRF-1. As the results, HME has synergistic effects on protection against proteolysis of C2C12 myotubes through activation of the Akt signaling pathway under oxidative stress. Conclusions : These results suggest that HME may also be useful as a preventing and treating material for skeletal muscle atrophy caused by age-related diseases.

Skeletal muscle, essential for metabolism, thermoregulation, and immunity, undergoes myogenic differentiation that results in myotube formation. Trans-anethole (TA), the major constituent in essential oil produced by anise, star anise, and fennel, whose function in skeletal muscle has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated whether TA influenced muscle differentiation in mouse C2C12 myoblasts. Cells were induced to differentiate using a differentiation medium with or without TA (50 or 200 mg/mL) daily for 5 days. We measured myotube length and diameter after differentiation days 1, 3, and 5 and analyzed the expression of myogenic markers (myoblast determination protein 1, myogenin, myocyte enhancer factor 2, muscle creatine kinase, and myosin heavy chain) and atrophy-related genes (atrogin-1 and muscle ring finger-1 [MuRF-1]) using quantitative real-time PCR. Additionally, we observed the expression of total protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) using western blotting. Our data showed that TA significantly induced the formation of smaller and thinner myotubes and reduced the myogenic factor expression. Furthermore, the atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 expression markedly increased by TA. Consistent with these findings, TA significantly decreased the expression of total Akt and p-Akt. Taken together, these results indicate that TA inhibits myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells via reduction of both total Akt and p-Akt. Our findings may provide valuable insights into the impact of PAA on individuals at risk of muscle atrophy.

Objectives : This study is to effect of improving muscle atrophy through water extract on the solid-phase fermentation extraction with Phellinus linteus of discarded Schisandra chinensis in an atorvastatin-induced atrophy C2C12 cell. Methods : C2C12 myoblast were differentiated into myotube by 2% horse serum medium for 6 days, and then treated solid-phase fermentation(S-P) extract at different concentrations for 24h. To investigate the effect of S-P extract on the induction of muscle atrophy and expression of atrophy-related genes and apoptosis in differentiated C2C12 myotubes using a GSH, ROS, real-time PCR, western blots analysis. Results : As a result of treatment with atorvastatin at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 uM on the 6th day of differentiation in C2C12 myotube cells, it was confirmed that the cell morphology was damaged in a concentration-dependent manner, and the length and thickness of the myotube also decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment with S-P extract (50, 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖) increased of GSH and inhibited ROS in the atorvastatin-induced muscle atrophy cell model at a concentration that did not induce toxicity. In addition, it was confirmed that it has an effect on muscle reduction by inhibiting apoptosis of muscle cells as well as being involved in protein production and degradation of muscle cells. Conclusions : Atorvastatin-induced atrophy C2C12 cell, S-P extract activates related to differentiation/generation and proteolysis, and inhibits cell death of atrophy in C2C12 cell. Based on this, it is necessary to prove its effectiveness through animal models and human application test, but it is considered to be discarded Schisandra chinensis can present the potential for development as a recycling industrial material.

In order to investigate the effect of Transforming growth factor ${\beta}1$(below TGF-${\beta}1$) and osteogenic protein-1(below Op-1) onto the myogenic differentiation, C2C12 satellite myoblastic cell line was cultured and treated with both growth factors. At first morphological changes with microscopical examination were examined, and isolated total RNA to analyse mRNA expression of bone marker proteins, muscle regulatory proteins, TGF-${\beta}$ receptor and their ligands by Northern blot analysis. And cellular proliferative inducibility of both growth factors was also tested to C2C12 cells. Incubating the cell with $5ng/m{\ell}$ of TGF-${\beta}1$ until 4 days almost inhibited multinucleated myotube formation expressing muscular regulatory proteins, and induced decreasing Id proteins. However, no osteoblastic phenotypes was induced by TGF-${\beta}1$ in C2C12 cells. The mRNA expression of TGF-${\beta}$ receptors with TGF-${\beta}1$ was conversed after 48 hours cultured. Type I TGF-${\beta}$ receptor was seemed to play a role in negative signalling for inhibition of myogenic differentiation. OP-1 dose dependently induced ALP activity, osteopontine production and bone sialoprotein production at concentrations above $100ng/m{\ell}$ and osteocalcin production at concentrations above $300ng/m{\ell}$. The concentration of OP-1 required to induce these osteoblastic phenotypes was the same as that required to almost completely inhibit myotube formation. Incubation with above $100ng/m{\ell}$ OP-1 suppressed the expression of mRNA for muscular egulatory proteins from 2 days after incubation. Expression of Id-1, 2, 3 mRNA were stimulated by OP-1 at concentration above $300ng/m{\ell}$. When C2C12 cells were treated with both growth factors, TGF-${\beta}1$ potentiated the inhibitory effect of OP-1 on myotube formation and expression of mRNA for myogenin at 12 days. And TGF-${\beta}1$ reduced osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein production induced by OP-1 at 12 days in C2C12 cells. Both growth factor had no mitogenic effect. These results indicate that OP-1 converts the differentiation pathway of C2C12 myoblasts into that of osteoblastic lineage cells and it's not heritable, but TGF-${\beta}1$ does not and has reversible inhibitory activity on the myogenic differentiation. TGF-${\beta}1$ and OP-1 play a role in myogenic differentiation via different mechanism between them.
