β<sub>2</sub>-Adrenoceptor (β<sub>2</sub>-AR) agonists promote muscle growth. The aim of this study was to elucidate some effects of the selective β<sub>2</sub>-adrenoceptor agonist clenbuterol (CLB) on myoblast proliferation. We found that CLB induces cell cycle arrest in C2C12 myoblasts. This effect is partly due to the enhanced stability of p27, rather than the increased gene transcription via cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Specifically, CLB treatment enhanced the accumulation ...[more]
