FIGURE 6.
No observable change in inflammatory cytokine expression in MGF-overexpressing C2C12 myogenic cells in vitro. The expression of (A) Mgf, (B) Tnf-α, and (C) Ccl2 in myoblast and myotube cultures harvested at 24 and 48 h post-transfection (n = 3/cell/treatment/timepoint). Gapdh expression served as the internal control. The expression level is relative to 48 h vector control. Significant difference between vector and pMGF: ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗P < 0.001. Statistics were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and followed by Bonferroni test. Values represent mean ± SEM.
