Myoblast fusion is critical for muscle growth, regeneration, and repair. We previously reported that the enzyme peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA interacting 1 (Pin1) is involved in osteoclast fusion. The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility that Pin1 also inhibits myoblast fusion. Here, we show the increased number of nuclei in the Pin1<sup>+/-</sup> mice muscle fiber compared to that in wild-type mice. Moreover, we show that low dose of the Pin1 inhibitor dipentame ...[more]
