P21 is a HDAC4 target gene responsible for satellite cell proliferation. (a) Immunofluorescence for MHC and α-sarcomeric actin in HDAC4 KO satellite cells treated with UC2288 or vehicle for 24 hours and differentiated for three days. Scale bar: 100 μm. (b) Quantification of the differentiation and fusion indexes; counts of total nuclei relative to vehicle-treated samples. n = 4 per condition. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test). (c) Immunofluorescence for MHC and α-sarcomeric actin in HDAC4 KO satellite cells transfected with a pool of four siRNA against P21 (P21 siRNA) or a pool of non-targeting siRNA (Scramble siRNA), as control and differentiated for three days. Scale bar: 100 μm. (d) Quantification of the differentiation and fusion indexes; counts of total nuclei relative to Scramble (Scr)-treated samples. n = 4 per condition. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test).
