LiCl rescued the inhibitory effect of BAMBI siRNA on C2C12 myogenic differentiation. All the cell samples were harvested after transfection and myogenic induction for 48 and 96 h. (a) The mRNA expression of MyoD at 48 h and that of MyoG and MyHC at 96 h; (b) the western blot images of MyoD, MyHC, and GAPDH; (c) the protein expression of MyoD at 48 h and MyHC at 96 h; (d) immunofluorescence images of MyHC in C2C12 myotubes at 96 h post differentiation, images captured at 100× magnification; (e) the populations of myotubes; (f) the differentiation index and (g) the myotube fusion index. The results were represented as mean ± SD; n = 3; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
