COUP-TFII expression decreases during myogenic differentiation in C2C12 mouse myoblast cells. (A) Western blot analyses of COUP-TFII protein expression during myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells. Relative COUP-TFII protein level was quantified by band density and normalized to GAPDH as shown in bottom panel. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR examination of Myogenin (MRF in early differentiation stage) and MRF4 (MRF in terminal differentiated myotube) mRNA expression pattern C2C12 cells were placed in the differentiation medium (DM, 2% horse serum) and incubated for the indicated time points. Day 0, serum withdraws in confluent culture cells as the initiation of myogenesis; medium was changed every other day. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared to day 0.
