Project description:In urodele amphibians, limb regeneration involves the dedifferentiation of muscle myotubes into single cells that may acquire pluripotent potential. We have employed small molecules (myoseverin and BIO) to attempt to reproduce this behavior in mammalian muscle culture. C2C12 myotubes derived from the C2C12 myoblast cell line were induced to undergo cellularization by myoseverin treatment, which destabilizes tubulin filaments. The GSK-3 inhibitor, BIO, was then used to induce dedifferentiation. Induce neuron formation; the cells were incubated with 250 nM reversine for 48 h, and neural induction media (DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 (Invitrogen)) and 1.5 uM all-trans retinoic acid for 7 days. C2C12 murine myoblast cell line and 48 h 10 uM BIO treated C2C12 cellulate (derived by 20 M myoseverin treatment for 48 h)

C2C12 murine myoblast cell line and 48 h 10 uM BIO treated C2C12 cellulate (derived by 20 M myoseverin treatment for 48 h) C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes with 2%horse serum in DMEM for 8 days (from 2-4 d, 10 uM AraC treatment was also used to kill any remaining myoblasts). Next, myotubes were cellularized by 20 uM myoseverin treatment for 48 h. 24 h after myoseverin treatment, myotubes were treated with 10 uM BIO for 2d.
Project description:We screened for long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) that are highly and specifically expressed in the murine myoblast cell line C2C12 during the differentiation process.
Project description:C2C12 is a myoblast cell line usually used for study of muscle differentiation. Myod1 is a pro-differentiation factor for myogenesis. We found that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Myod1 gene knockout in C2C12 cells led to the loss of myoblast identity and gain of neural properties.
Project description:Proteomics of carboxylated polystyrene bead (1.0 um) phagosomes from murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. cells were either resting or treated with 100 U/ml IFN-γ (PeproTech) and 100 ng/ml LPS (Sigma) for 24 h, 20 ng/ml Interleukin-4 (IL4) (BD Pharmingen) for 48 h, 20 ng/ml Interleukin-13 (IL13), 10 ng/ml Interleukin-10 (IL10)for 48 h or Reprogrammed (IL4 was incubated with BMDMs for 24 h, and the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing IFN-γ/LPS to incubate for another 24 h). Phagosomes were isolated after 30 min bead inoculation.
Project description:Expression profiling of C2C12 myoblast cells treated with ethanol during differentiation. Ethanol inhibits C2C12 differentiation. Results provide insight into signaling pathways altered by ethanol during differentiation.
Project description:Analysis of C2C12 myoblast induced with tetracycline to enhance integrin alpha7 expression. Integrin alpha7 is the major laminin binding integrin in muscle cells. Enhancing its expression has been demonstrated to alleviate pathology in a murine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Results of this study provide insights into the effects of increasing integirn alpha7 expression on muscle cells and possible side effects associate with enhancing integrin alpha7 in muscle cells. Experiment Overall Design: Triplicate biological smaples for each condition(induced and non-induced) C2C12 myoblast were used.
Project description:We report that differentiation of the C2C12 myoblast line on patterened hydrogels results in the increased expression of muscle sarcomere genes and more closely models expression changes that happen in in vivo muscle differentiation than do C2C12 myoblasts cultured on unpatterened substrates.
