TMEM16A deletion leads to enhanced apoptosis and ER stress in myoblasts
(A and B) Western blotting shows the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and caspase 3 protein levels in the KO versus CTR myoblasts during myogenic differentiation. n = 3. Data are mean ± SD. ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
(C) The impaired myogenic differentiation in the KO myoblasts was improved using pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. Scale bars, 20 μm.
(D) The fusion index analysis in (C). n = 3. Data are mean ± SD. ∗p < 0.05.
(E and F) Western blotting shows the expression of cleaved caspase 12 and pro-caspase 12 protein levels in the KO versus CTR myoblasts during myogenic differentiation. n = 3. Data are mean ± SD. ∗p < 0.05.
