Project description:In urodele amphibians, limb regeneration involves the dedifferentiation of muscle myotubes into single cells that may acquire pluripotent potential. We have employed small molecules (myoseverin and BIO) to attempt to reproduce this behavior in mammalian muscle culture. C2C12 myotubes derived from the C2C12 myoblast cell line were induced to undergo cellularization by myoseverin treatment, which destabilizes tubulin filaments. The GSK-3 inhibitor, BIO, was then used to induce dedifferentiation. Induce neuron formation; the cells were incubated with 250 nM reversine for 48 h, and neural induction media (DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 (Invitrogen)) and 1.5 uM all-trans retinoic acid for 7 days. C2C12 murine myoblast cell line and 48 h 10 uM BIO treated C2C12 cellulate (derived by 20 M myoseverin treatment for 48 h)
Project description:Skeletal muscle C2C12 cells were treated with or without trichostatin A (TSA), which induces differentiation. Total RNA was extracted and profiled at 5 time points after induction of differentiation (0, 4h, 12h, 24h, 48h).
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in cells differentiation by targeting protein coding genes. The expression level of miRNA and mRNA between D0 and D4 differentiated C2C12 showed a great significance. It is closely related to myogenesis, and is helpful to understand function of miRNAs and disease related to muscle. We performed microarray and transcriptome profiling in differentiating C2C12 cells cells (at 0 and 4 days named D0 and D4, respectively) to detail the expression of mRNA and miRNAs during differentiation.

Next, myotubes were cellularized by 20 uM myoseverin treatment for 48 h. 24 h after myoseverin treatment, myotubes were treated with 10 uM BIO for 2d.
Project description:Mice pancreatic cancer derived exosomes(KPC-exosomes) could induce skeletal muscle cells(C2C12) insulin resistance and exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) may exert an important effect (Sci Rep. 2017;7(1):5384). The data set GSE95741 provided the differentially expressed micro RNAs. In this work, we aim to detect the differentially expressed genes and explore the intrinsic link.
Project description:This project investigates the function of p68/p72 in muscle gene expression and skeletal C2C12 cell differentiation. p68/p72 in C2C12 cells cultured in either growth medium (GM) or differentiation medium (DM) was knocked down using shRNA p68/p72 retrovirus, and globle gene expression was profiled using Affymetrix MOE 430A and 430B GeneChip. Experiment Overall Design: The specific aim is to study muscle gene expression changes and skeletal muscle differenciation using RNA interference of p68/p72 in C2C12 cells.
Project description:To investigate the importance of functional regulation of PGAM2 by SUMO conjugation in the context of myogenic differentiation. We performed RNAseq analysis of WT and sumoylation deficient mutant (K176R mutatant) C2C12 cells at different differentiation days, i.e. day 0 and day4, respectively (n=3/group).
