Matrine improves the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on C2C12 myoblasts differentiation. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of MHC (green), MyoD (red) and DAPI (blue) in C2C12 myotubes. C2C12 myoblasts were treated with Dex combined with or without Mat in differential medium for 72 h. Quantification of C2C12. (B) Mean myotubes diameter (3–5 measures per myotube; n>150 per group) and (C) Fusion index (n=6). Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. #P<0.05 vs. Dex + 0.1 mM Mat. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. Dex. &&P<0.01, &&&P<0.001 vs. NC. MHC, myosin heavy chain.
