ABSTRACT: Expression data from human primary skeletal muscle myotubes treated with aldosterone alone or co-incubated with aldosterone plus spironolactone, eplerenone, or mifepristone
Project description:Expression data from human primary skeletal muscle myotubes treated with aldosterone, spironolactone, eplerenone, mifepristone, prednisolone or vehicle
Project description:To test for a function effect of mineralocorticoid receptor modulation in skeletal muscle, global gene expression analysis was conducted on human myltubes treated with a mineralocorticoid receptor agonist or antagonist. 9 total samples were analyzed. 3 biological replicates for each of the following treatment groups were included: 1) aldosterone; 2) spironolactone; 3) vehicle (ethanol). Pairwise comparison between groups were carried out and a fold-change ≥2 were selected.
Project description:To identify the gene expression differences in skeletal muscles resulting from treatment of dystrophic mice with spironolactone plus lisinopril, eplerenone plus lisinopril or prednisolone.
Project description:ATF4 is a bZIP transcription factor that that promotes skeletal muscle atrophy. The goal of these studies was to determine the effects of ATF4 overexpression on mRNA levels in differentiated C2C12 myotubes. For additional details see Ebert et al, Stress-Induced Skeletal Muscle Gadd45a Expression Reprograms Myonuclei and Causes Muscle Atrophy. JBC epub. June 12,2012 C2C12 myotubes were infected with adenovirus co-expressing eGFP and ATF4-FLAG. Control myotubes were infected with adenovirus co-expressing eGFP and a transcriptionally inactive ATF4 construct (ATF4∆bZIP).

Project description:To uncover whether aldosterone induces gene expression changes through mineralocorticoid or glucocorticoid receptors and determine if eplerenone and spironolactone could block aldosterone induced gene expression to the same extent
Project description:The aim of the present work was to study the effects of benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate) upon glucose and lipid metabolism and gene expression in differentiated human skeletal muscle cells (myotubes) incubated for 4 days under normal (5.5 mM glucose) and hyperglycemic (20 mM glucose) conditions. Myotubes established from lean, healthy volunteers were treated with benfotiamine for 4 days. Glucose and lipid metabolism were studied with labeled precursors. Gene expression was measured using real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and microarray technology.
