Ginsenoside Rg1 from Panax ginseng enhances myoblast differentiation and myotube growth

open access: yesJournal of Ginseng Research, 2017
Background: Ginsenoside Rg1 belongs to protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides and has diverse pharmacological activities. In this report, we investigated whether Rg1 could upregulate muscular stem cell differentiation and muscle growth.

Biolistic Transfection of Cultured Myotubes

Science Signaling, 2003
Transfection of cells in culture with cDNA constructs is a powerful tool in cell biology, but postmitotic cells, including myotubes, can be hard to transfect with classic methods. Biolistics provides an alternative. We have used this biolistic technique to introduce cDNAs into cultured rat, chick, and C2C12 myotubes. This protocol results in efficient (

Electrical Impedance as a Novel Biomarker of Myotube Atrophy and Hypertrophy

open access: yesSLAS Discovery, 2011
Measuring myotube thickness is the most physiological and unbiased approach for screening therapeutic compounds that prevent skeletal muscle atrophy or induce hypertrophy.

Serum regulation of acetylcholinesterase in cultured myotubes

Experimental Neurology, 1986
A large (20S) collagen-tailed form of acetylcholinesterase associated with the neuromuscular junction appears in cultures of chick embryo muscle cells when horse serum is withdrawn from the medium. In this report, 10-day-old cultures were incubated 2 days in serum-free medium or in medium containing either horse, bovine, fetal calf, chicken, heat ...

Myogenes and Myotubes

Journal of Child Neurology, 1992
Investigation of the congenital myopathies has been limited by a lack of knowledge regarding basic mechanisms involved in normal myogenesis of human muscle and the relative rarity of these diseases. A newly recognized family of regulatory genes has been shown to be necessary for myogenesis to proceed to formation of normal mature muscle.

Formation of Myotubes in Aneural Rat Muscles

Developmental Biology, 1993
Skeletal muscles formed in the absence of innervation are deficient in number of fibers, atrophic, and prone to degeneration. We and others have suggested that primary myotubes form autonomously, and the major effect of embryonic denervation is to halt the formation of secondary myotubes by removing the mitotic stimulus for generation of their ...

Caffeine contracture in the cultured chick myotube

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1986
AbstractA possible function of Ca store site in cultured chick myotubes was examined by recording contraction of the myotube with special reference to the effect of caffeine. Caffeine at low concentrations (below 1 mM), applied focally on the myotube through a micropipette with a pressure pulse, elicited focal contraction without membrane potential ...

Myotube Assembly on Nanofibrous and Micropatterned Polymers

Nano Letters, 2006
Skeletal muscle consists of parallel bundles of myotubes formed by the fusion of myoblasts. We fabricated nanofibrous and micropatterned polymers as cell culture substrates to guide the morphogenesis of muscular tissue. The nanoscale and microscale topographic features regulate cell and cytoskeleton alignment, myotube assembly, myotube striation, and ...

Effect of metformin on myotube BCAA catabolism

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2019
AbstractMetformin has antihyperglycemic properties and is a commonly prescribed drug for type II diabetes mellitus. Metformin functions in part by activating 5′‐AMP‐activated protein kinase, reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis and blood glucose. Metformin also upregulates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma coactivator‐1α (PGC‐1α).

Neutrophils injure cultured skeletal myotubes

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2001
The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that neutrophils can injure cultured skeletal myotubes. Human myotubes were grown and then cultured with human blood neutrophils. Myotube injury was quantitatively and qualitatively determined using a cytotoxicity (51Cr) assay and electron microscopy, respectively.
