Serum derived from burned patients induced pro-atrophic signaling in the C2C12 myotubes (N = 4 per group). Representative Western blotting and quantification of pSTAT3, STAT3 (A), pERK1/2, ERK1/2 (B), Ubiquitin (C), and LC3BII/LC3BI (D) in protein extract of C2C12 myotubes exposed for up to 48 h to 5% serum obtained from 3 groups of children: normal unburned (N), burned receiving standard of care after 30 d (B), and burned receiving standard of care and pamidronate after 30 d (B+P). Tubulin was used as a loading control. Data (means ± standard deviation) are expressed as arbitrary units (A.U.). Significance of the differences: **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. N, and #p < 0.05 vs. B. Significance was determined by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's post-test.
