TNF-α regulates myogenesis and muscle regeneration by activating p38 MAPK
Open accessAbstract
Although p38 MAPK activation is essential for myogenesis, the upstream signaling mechanism that activates p38 during myogenesis remains undefined. We recently reported that p38 activation, myogenesis, and regeneration in cardiotoxin-injured soleus muscle are impaired in TNF-α receptor double-knockout (p55−/−p75−/−) mice. To fully evaluate the role of TNF-α in myogenic activation of p38, we tried to determine whether p38 activation in differentiating myoblasts requires autocrine TNF-α, and whether forced activation of p38 rescues impaired myogenesis and regeneration in the p55−/−p75−/− soleus. We observed an increase of TNF-α release from C2C12 or mouse primary myoblasts placed in low-serum differentiation medium. A TNF-α-neutralizing antibody added to differentiation medium blocked p38 activation and suppressed differentiation markers myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)-2C, myogenin, p21, and myosin heavy chain in C2C12 myoblasts. Conversely, recombinant TNF-α added to differentiation medium stimulated myogenesis at 0.05 ng/ml while inhibited it at 0.5 and 5 ng/ml. In addition, differentiation medium-induced p38 activation and myogenesis were compromised in primary myoblasts prepared from p55−/−p75−/− mice. Increased TNF-α release was also seen in cardiotoxin-injured soleus over the course of regeneration. Forced activation of p38 via the constitutive activator of p38, MKK6bE, rescued impaired myogenesis and regeneration in the cardiotoxin-injured p55−/−p75−/− soleus. These results indicate that TNF-α regulates myogenesis and muscle regeneration as a key activator of p38.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
