Stimulation and inhibition of myoblast differentiation by hormones

In Vitro
J R FloriniB M Vertel

Abstract

The growth and differentiation of L6 myoblasts are subject to control by two proteins secreted by cells of the Buffalo rat liver line. The first of these, rat insulinlike growth factor-II (formerly designated multiplication stimulating activity) is a potent stimulator of myoblast proliferation and differentiation, as well as associated processes such as amino acid uptake and incorporation into protein, RNA synthesis, and thymidine incorporation into DNA. In addition, this hormone causes a significant decrease in the rate of protein degradation. All of these actions seem to be attributable to a single molecular species, although their time courses and sensitivity to the hormone differ substantially. The second protein, the differentiation inhibitor (DI), is a nonmitogenic inhibitor of all tested aspects of myoblast differentiation, including fusion and the elevation of creatine kinase. Indirect immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that DI also blocks accumulation of myosin heavy chain and myomesin. Upon removal of DI after 72 h incubation, all of these effects were reversed and normal myotubes containing the usual complement of muscle-specific proteins were formed. Thus, this system makes it possible to achieve specific s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
