Expression analysis of myosin heavy chain isoforms in neonatal skeletal muscle. Expression levels of MyHC isoforms were measured by qPCR in the gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus (GPS) muscle complex at postnatal day 7 (P7) of Vgll2 +/+ and Vgll2 −/− mice (n = 8). Myh7 (encoding MyHCI), Myh2 (MyHCIIa), Myh1 (MyHCIIx), Myh4 (MyHCIIb), Myh7b (slow-tonic MyHC), Myh3 (embryonic fast isoform, MyHC-emb), and Myh8 (perinatal fast isoform, MyHC-pn) expression levels were examined. For comparison, the expression level of these genes in Vgll2 +/+ mice was arbitrarily set at 1. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. Vgll2 +/+ muscles.
