ジャーナル J Biosci Bioeng
Abstract Electric pulse-stimulated C2C12 myotubes are gaining interest in the field of muscle physiology and biotechnology because electric pulse stimulation (EPS) enhances sarcomere structure development and active tension generation capability. Recently, we found that termination of EPS results in the rapid loss of active tension generation accompanied by disassembly of the sarcomere structure, which may represent an in vitro muscle atrophy model. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying this rapid loss of active tension generation and sarcomere structure disassembly after termination of EPS, we performed transcriptomic analysis using microarray. After termination of EPS, 74 genes were upregulated and 120 genes were downregulated after 30 min; however, atrophy-related genes were not found among these genes. To further assess the effect of EPS on gene expression, we re-applied EPS after its termination for 8 h and searched for genes whose expression was reversed. Four genes were upregulated by termination of EPS and downregulated by the re-application of EPS, whereas two genes were downregulated by termination of EPS and upregulated by the re-application of EPS. Although none of these genes were atrophy- or hypertrophy-related, the results presented in this study will contribute to the understanding of gene expression changes that mediate rapid loss of active tension generation and sarcomere structure disassembly following termination of EPS in C2C12 myotubes.
