CSRP3 regulates mean muscle fiber and muscle mass in chicken skeletal muscles. (A and B) CSRP3 mRNA and protein expression in breast muscle after lentivirus injected. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (C), mean muscle fiber CSA, scale bar = 100 μm (Black arrows point to necrotic myofibers) (D), and muscle weight (E) of breast muscle fiber cross-section after lentivirus injected. (F and G) Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 mRNA expression and Atrogin-1 protein expression in breast muscle after lentivirus injected. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
