CSE decreases myotube diameter and increases atrophy-related proteins in C2C12 cells. After 6 days of cell differentiation and 24 hours of treatment with CSE, the morphological changes of the cells were observed, and Western analysis of the levels of MAFbx and MuRF1 protein expression was performed. (A) C2C12 myotubular phenotype changes after different CSE concentrations; 200×. (B) Measurements of average myotube diameter after 24 hours in different treatment groups exposed to CSE. (C) The protein expression level of MURF1, MAFbx and HDAC2 after 24 hours in different treatment groups exposed to CSE. Values are expressed as means±SD. Experiments were repeated 3 times with similar results. *p<0.05 vs control group (N).
