Ciglitazone is a member of the thiazolidinedione family, and specifically binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), thereby promoting adipocyte differentiation. We hypothesized that ciglitazone as a PPARγ ligand in the absence of an adipocyte differentiation cocktail would increase adiponectin and adipogenic gene expression in bovine satellite cells (BSC). Muscle-derived BSCs were isolated from six, 18-month-old Yanbian Yellow Cattle. The BSC were cultured for 96 h in differentiation medium containing 5 µM ciglitazone (CL), 10 µM ciglitazone (CM), or 20 µM ciglitazone (CH). Control (CON) BSC were cultured only in a differentiation medium (containing 2% horse serum). The presence of myogenin, desmin, and paired box 7 (Pax7) proteins was confirmed in the BSC by immunofluorescence staining. The CL, CM, and CH treatments produced higher concentrations of triacylglycerol and lipid droplet accumulation in myotubes than those of the CON treatment. Ciglitazone treatments significantly increased the relative expression of PPARγ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), C/EBPβ, fatty acid synthase, stearoyl-CoA desaturase, and perilipin 2. Ciglitazone treatments increased gene expression of Pax3 and Pax7 and decreased expression of myogenic differentiation-1, myogenin, myogenic regulatory factor-5, and myogenin-4 (p < 0.01). Adiponectin concentration caused by ciglitazone treatments was significantly greater than CON (p < 0.01). RNA sequencing showed that 281 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in the treatments of ciglitazone. DEGs gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the top 10 GO enrichment significantly changed the biological processes such as protein trimerization, negative regulation of cell proliferation, adipocytes differentiation, and cellular response to external stimulus. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that DEGs were involved in the p53 signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, biosynthesis of amino acids, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. These results indicate that ciglitazone acts as PPARγ agonist, effectively increases the adiponectin concentration and adipogenic gene expression, and stimulates the conversion of BSC to adipocyte-like cells in the absence of adipocyte differentiation cocktail.

Purpose : The purpose of this article was to review the literature on contractile properties of skeletal muscle with reference to its molecular and functional diversity. Method : This review outlines scientific findings regarding different contractile properties in skeletal muscle fibers, and discusses their involvement in functional diversity. Result & Conclusions: Muscle fibers possess distinct mechanical and energetic properties. Myosis, one of the primary contractile muscle proteins, displays structural, functional variability and plays the role of the molecular motor of muscle contraction. Muscle satellite cells are normally mitotically quiescent, but initiate proliferation and give rise to daughter myogenic precursor cells as required for the postnatal growth and regeneration of adult muscle. Passive extensibility is an important component of total muscle function because it allows for the maximal length of skeletal muscles. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) stretching can help to restore or improve flexibility and coordination, thereby improving overall muscle function.

성호르몬은 근육의 발달(아나볼릭 효과)에 관여하는 것으로 잘 알려져 왔으며 인체의 치료제로 넓게 사용되고 있다. 돼지고기에는 주로 성선(정소와 난소)에서 생산되어 고기에 축적된 다양한 아나볼릭 효과를 나타내는 성호르몬이 많이 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 돼지고기에 존재하는 아나볼릭 스테로이드를 추출하여 근육세포의 증식과 분화에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 돼지의 각 조직으로부터 아나볼릭 스테로이드를 추출하는 3가지 방법(M1, M2, M3)을 개발하였다. 3가지 모든 추출방법에서 아나볼릭 스테로이드가 추출되었으며 특히 M3에서 조직 1g당 가장 많은 양을 획득할 수 있었다. M3를 이용하여 아나볼릭 스테로이드를 추출했을 때 돼지고기의 근육과 지방에서는 스테로이드 호르몬 양이 수컷에서 가장 높았고, 혈청에서는 nandrolone 과 testosterone의 양은 수컷에서 가장 높았으며, estrone와 $17{\beta}$-estradiol의 양은 비슷하였다. 근육세포 증식은 돼지 아나볼릭 스테로이드의 농도 의존적으로 촉진되었으며, M3에서 가장 빠르게 증식되었다. 근육세포의 분화는 추출된 아나볼릭 스테로이드 처리구가 대조구보다 더 효과적으로 분화가 잘 되는 것을 세포 모양과 유전자(AR, myoD, desmin, myogenin)를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 M3에서 추출된 아나볼릭 스테로이드에서 myogenin과 AR 유전자가 유의적으로 높게 발현되었다(p<0.001). 전체적으로 돼지의 아나볼릭 스테로이드는 근육세포의 성장과 분화를 촉진하였다. 따라서 돼지고기에 있는 아나볼릭 스테로이드의 섭취를 통해 인체 근육의 성장과 발달에 긍정적 효과를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: Skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) are significant for the growth, regeneration, and maintenance of skeletal muscle after birth. However, currently, few studies have been performed on the isolation, culture and inducing differentiation of goose muscle satellite cells. Previous studies have shown that C1q and tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP3) participated in the process of muscle growth and development, but its role in the goose skeletal muscle development is not yet clear. This study aimed to isolate, culture, and identify the goose SMSCs in vitro. Additionally, to explore the function of CTRP3 in goose SMSCs. Methods: Goose SMSCs were isolated using 0.25% trypsin from leg muscle (LM) of 15 to 20 day fertilized goose eggs. Cell differentiation was induced by transferring the cells to differentiation medium with 2% horse serum and 1% penicillin streptomycin. Immunofluorescence staining of Desmin and Pax7 was used to identify goose SMSCs. Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction and western blot were applied to explore developmental expression profile of CTRP3 in LM and the regulation of CTRP3 on myosin heavy chains (MyHC), myogenin (MyoG) expression and Notch signaling pathway related genes expression. Results: The goose SMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured. The expression of Pax7 and Desmin were observed in the isolated cells. The expression of CTRP3 decreased significantly during leg muscle development. Overexpression of CTRP3 could enhance the expression of two myogenic differentiation marker genes, MyHC and MyoG. But knockdown of CTRP3 suppressed their expression. Furthermore, CTRP3 could repress the mRNA level of Notch signaling pathway-related genes, notch receptor 1, notch receptor 2 and hairy/enhancer-of-split related with YRPW motif 1, which previously showed a negative regulation in myoblast differentiation. Conclusion: These findings provide a useful cell model for the future research on goose muscle development and suggest that CTRP3 may play an essential role in skeletal muscle growth of goose.

Gender specificity in muscle growth and development is well known. Genesis of muscle is dependent on proliferation and differentiation potential of resident myogenic satellite cells (MSCs) present in muscle fibers. Multipotential capacity of forming myocyte, osteocyte, and adipocyte like cell makes MSCs a unique stem cell. To understand the molecular mechanism involved in determination of muscle quality due to difference in hormone concentration of different gender of animals, MSCs were isolated from bovine skeletal muscle and cultured in male, female, and castrated serum supplemented media. DNA microarray used consisted of 24,000 spots with 70 mer oligo in each spot. A total of 88 genes were up-regulated and 551 genes were down-regulated by more than two fold. Among up-regulated gene, 33, 34, and 21 genes were found up-regulated in cells grown in male, female, and castrated serum, respectively. Interestingly, male serum showed 4, female 11 and castrated male showed 4 genes expressed highly in each gender. Further study on the highly up-regulated gene may unfold the mystery of gender specificity found in muscle development. Also, the identification of differentially expressed genes in gender-specific serum will add information on infrastructure of bovine genome research.

본 연구는 한우유래 myoblast에서 지방세포분화 유도 전사인자들을 과발현시켜 지방세포로의 교차분화를 유도하기 위하여 실시하였다. 한우 유래 satellite cell을 배양한 후 adipogenic transcription factor인 $PPAR{\gamma}$, C/$EBP{\alpha}$, SREBP1c, KLF5등을 단독 또는 co-transfection을 실시하여 세포에 과발현을 유도하였다. 이들 세포들은 adipogenic differentiation medium에서 2일간 배양한 후growth medium에서 8일간 추가로 배양하였다. 지방세포로의 교차분화 유무는 Oil-red O염색과 지방세포 마커 유전자들의 발현으로 확인하였다. $PPAR{\gamma}$과 C/$EBP{\alpha}$를 각각 단독으로 과발현을 유도한 경우myoblast에서 지방세포로의 교차분화를 유도하기에는 충분하지 못하였다. 그러나 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 C/$EBP{\alpha}$을 co-transfection을 실시한 경우 지방세포로의 교차분화가 유도되었고, 세포내지방구형성, 지방세포 마커유전자의 발현, 근세포 마커유전자의 발현 감소 등이 확인되었다. KLF5 와 $PPAR{\gamma}$를 동시에 과발현할 경우 지방세포로의 교차분화를 볼 수 있었지만 KLF단독의 경우는 교차분화를 유도하지 못하였다. 할성형SREBP1c (tSREBP1c)의 경우, 단독으로 myoblast에 과발현을 처리한 경우만으로 지방세포로의 교차분화를 유도할 수 있었다. 이들 결과는 한우유래 satellite cell을 이용하여 지방세포분화 전사인자를 단독 혹은 조합하여 이들 세포에 과발현 시킬 경우 지방세포로의 교차분화를 유도할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

Sarcopenia is an age-related, progressive skeletal muscle disorder involving the loss of muscle mass and strength. Previous studies have shown that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from fermented oysters aids in regulatory T cells (Tregs) cell expansion and function by enhancing autophagy, and concomitantly mediate muscle regeneration by modulating muscle inflammation and satellite cell function. The fermentation process of oysters not only increases the GABA content but also enhances the content of branched amino acids and free amino acids that aid the level of protein absorption and muscle strength, mass, and repair. In this study, the effect of GABA-enriched fermented sarco oyster extract (FSO) on reduced muscle mass and functions via Treg modulation and enhanced autophagy in aged mice was investigated. Results showed that FSO enhanced the expression of autophagy markers (autophagy-related gene 5 [ATG5] and GABA receptor-associated protein [GABARAP]), forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3) expression, and levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-10 and transforming growth factor [TGF]-β) secreted by Tregs while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-17A and interferon [IFN]-γ). Furthermore, FSO increased the expression of IL-33 and its receptor IL-1 receptor-like 1 (ST2); well-known signaling pathways that increase amphiregulin (Areg) secretion and expression of myogenesis markers (myogenic factor 5, myoblast determination protein 1, and myogenin). Muscle mass and function were also enhanced via FSO. Overall, the current study suggests that FSO increased autophagy, which enhanced Treg accumulation and function, decreased muscle inflammation, and increased satellite cell function for muscle regeneration and therefore could decrease the loss of muscle mass and function with aging.

본 연구는 성체우의 FS, MS, C-MS를 배양액에 첨가하여 세포증식과 난포의 성장과 배란에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 실시하였다. 세포증식은 세포수와 MTT assay을 실시하여 확인하였다. 그 결과 세포증식은 혈청첨가 배양액에 따라 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. 특히 근육위성세포의 세포증식은 MS를 첨가한 배양액에서 높은 반면 면역세포의 증식은 FBS에서 배양한 세포에 비해 낮은 것을 확인하였다. 또한 난포의 성장 및 배란을 관찰한 결과 난포의 성장에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 군간 차이를 보였으며 배란율과 비례적이었고, 배란율은 FBS와 C-MS가 첨가된 배양액에서 유의적으로 높은 것을 관찰할 수 있었다(P<0.05). FBS군과 C-MS 군 간에는 차이가 없었다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 창상치유는 FS에서 배양한 세포에서 빠른 회복을 나타냈으며, 증식은 MS에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 따라서 본 결과는 세포배양 과정에서 세포에 따른 혈청의 선택은 매우 중요하다는 근거자료를 제시 하였으며, 분리 된 성별 특이 한우 혈청은 FBS의 대체 물질로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
