Abstract
Abdominal wall defects and tissue loss that result from traumatic injury, surgical resection, failure of abdominal closures (i.e., incisional hernias) or ventral hernias are a common clinical problem. Currently, the repair of these tissue defects represents a reconstructive challenge to surgeons. The...

Abstract
We also investigated the multi-differentiation potentials of the dedifferentiated cells. TGF-β(1) pre-treated C2C12 myoblasts were implanted into mice to repair dystrophic skeletal muscle or injured bone. In addition to the C2C12 myoblasts, similar effects of TGF-β(1) were also observed in the pri...

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have correlated arsenic exposure with cancer, skin diseases, and adverse developmental outcomes such as spontaneous abortions, neonatal mortality, low birth weight, and delays in the use of musculature. The current study used C2C12 mouse myoblast cells to examine whether low...

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that hydrogen sulfide is capable of mitigating the degree of cellular damage associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether it is protective in skeletal muscle.
This study used both in vitro (cultured myotubes subjected to seq...

Abstract
We combined micromolding and microablation technologies to create muscle tissue engineering scaffolds from the biodegradable elastomer poly(glycerol sebacate). These scaffolds exhibited well defined surface patterns and pores and robust elastomeric tensile mechanical properties. Cultured C2C12 muscl...

Abstract
We identified that, compared with SLD fibroblasts, normal fibroblasts promoted myogenesis of primary SLD myoblasts by improving their differentiation potential in a paracrine fashion, and this effect was involved in both primary and secondary fusions. This process was also coupled with up-regulation...

Abstract
We evaluate the adhesive behaviour of skeletal muscle cells (C2C12 myoblasts) during the initial steps of spreading on layer-by-layer films of controlled stiffness made of poly(L-lysine) and hyaluronan as model biomaterial surfaces for muscle tissue engineering. We show that integrin clustering, int...

Abstract
We have examined the role of the IGF-IR signaling in differentiation and repair of muscle fibers after damage-induced muscle regeneration. This process is impaired in MKR muscle, with incomplete regeneration, persistence of infiltrating cells and sustained expression of differentiation markers. Anal...

Abstract
We tested this hypothesis by following the effect of siRNA AChE silencing on apoptotic markers and by determination of AChE level after staurosporine-induced apoptosis in cultured human myoblasts. Decreased apoptosis in siRNA AChE silenced myoblasts and increased AChE expression in staurosporine-tre...

Abstract
We used the same molecular tools to explore whether the Ca(2+) mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling also relies on STIM1 and STIM2. Live cell imaging of early differentiating myoblasts revealed a characteristic clustering of activated STIM1 and STIM2 during the first few hours of differentia...

Abstract
We and others previously demonstrated that lung fibroblast expression of Thy-1 prevents lung fibrosis. The mechanisms underlying the anti-fibrotic effect of Thy-1 are not well understood. In this study, we showed that Thy-1 interacts with integrin alpha(v)beta(5), both in a cell-free system and on t...

Abstract
We report that expression of the muscle-specific micro-RNA (miRNA) miR-1 is regulated by mTOR both in differentiating myoblasts and in mouse regenerating skeletal muscle. We have found that mTOR controls MyoD-dependent transcription of miR-1 through its upstream enhancer, most likely by regulating M...

Abstract
We demonstrate that PGD(2) strongly inhibits C2C12 myogenesis as measured by cell fusion, creatine kinase activity and MyoD, myogenin and alpha-actin expression. Inhibition of myogenesis required micromolar PGD(2) concentrations and was independent of the known PGD(2) receptors DP1 and DP2. Unlike i...

I offer a simple model in which one or more CPPs and the phosphatidylserines of the inner leaflet form a kind of capacitor with a voltage in excess of about 200 mV, high enough to create a molecular electropore. The model is consistent with an empirical upper limit on the cargo peptide of 40-60 amin...
