TGFbeta effect on human skeletal muscle primary cultured cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this experiment we have analyzed the effect of TGFbeta-1 incubation (3h of incubation time) on the gene expression profiles of human primary cultured skeletal muscle cells, both in growing myoblasts or in differentiated muscle fibres (after 10-days of differentiation), obtained from skeletal muscle biopsies from a 2-months old healthy donor and a 5-years old DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) patient. All human skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained by surgery from calf muscles with informed consent and approval of the Human Use Committee of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (Barcelona, Spain). Human myoblasts were cultured on 6 cm plates until reached 70-80% of confluence and then, were incubated for 3h in the presence or in absence of TGF-?1 (2.5 ng/ml). Skeletal muscle fibres were obtained by growing human myoblasts on 6 cm plates until reached 70-80% of confluence and then, cells were induced to differentiate by deprivation of growth factors in the culture medium. After 10 days of differentiation, skeletal muscle fibers were incubated for 3h in the presence or in absence of TGFbeta-1 (2.5 ng/ml). In all cases, immediately after TGFbeta-1 treatment the RNA was extracted and used for Affymetrix microarrays analysis using the U133 2.0 microarray genechips.
