Abstract

Muscle atrophy due to aging, starvation, and various chronic diseases leads to a decrease in muscle fiber area and density due to reduced muscle protein synthesis and increased protein breakdown. This study investigated the effect of dexamethasone and hydrogen peroxide on the induction of muscle atrophy and expression of atrophy-related genes in differentiated C2C12 myotubes. C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in differentiation medium. During myoblast differentiation, muscle-specific transcription factors, such as myogenin, and MyoD expression increased. Differentiated C2C12 myotubes exposed to noncytotoxic levels of dexamethasone and hydrogen peroxide showed a decrease in myotube diameter, which was associated with up-regulation of muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases, such as muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx)/atrogin-1 and muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF1), and down-regulation of myogenin and MyoD. These results demonstrated that dexamethasone and hydrogen peroxide induced atrophy through regulation of muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases and muscle-specific transcription factors in C2C12 myotubes. In this study, we confirmed the process of differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts into myotubes in in vitro experiments in the presence of atrophy. This muscle atrophy model of C2C12 cells induced by dexamethasone or hydrogen peroxide seems suited to studies of the mechanism of muscle atrophy suppression and to exploit the experiment for excavating new muscle atrophy.

일반적으로 노화, 영양부족 및 다양한 만성질환에 의하여 유발되는 근위축은 근육 단백질 합성 억제 및 분해증가를 통하여 근섬유 및 근육의 밀도를 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 근위축과 관련된 in vitro 실험을 위한 C2C12 근아세포에서 근관세포로의 분화과정을 확립하고, 분화가 유발된 C2C12 근관세포를 대상으로 dexamethasone 및 hydrogen peroxide에 의한 근위축 유발 및 관련 단백질들의 발현 변화를 조사하였다. 먼저 C2C12 근아세포에 분화배지를 처리하였을 경우 근관세포로 분화가 유발되었으며, 분화와 관련된 단백질인 myogenin 및 myoD의 발현이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 분화가 유발된 C2C12 근관세포에 세포독성이 없는 조건의 dexamethasone 및 hydrogen peroxide를 처리하였을 경우 근관의 지름이 감소하였으며, 이러한 현상은 musclespecific ubiquitin ligases인 MAFbx/atrogin-1 및 MuRF1의 발현 증가와 함께 muscle-specific transcription factor인 myogenin 및 MyoD의 발현 감소와 관련이 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 근위축과 관련된 in vitro 실험 모델의 구축을 위한 최적의 분화조건 확립과 함께 dexamethasone 및 hydrogen peroxide를 근위축 유도제로 사용할 수 있는 가능성 을 제시하는 것이다.
