An adult myogenic cell line of the Japanese fire-bellied newt Cynops pyrrhogaster.

ABSTRACT: Adult myogenic cell lines are useful to study muscle development, repair and regeneration. In newts, which are known for their high regenerative capacity, myogenic cell lines have not been established in species other than the Eastern newt Notophthalmus viridescens. In this study, we established another myogenic cell line, named CpM01, from the skeletal muscle of the forearm of the adult Japanese fire-bellied newt Cynops pyrrhogaster. CpM01 maintained high proliferative ability even after numerous passages, and could be induced to differentiate into myotubes by changing the culture medium. CpM01 expressed myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) such as Myf5, MRF4 and myogenin. Changes in the immunorectivities of MRFs during differentiation of CpM01 into myotubes were consistent with those durin
