## Abstract Diseases involving chronic inflammation can lead to prolonged exposure of skeletal muscle to inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor Ξ± (TNFΞ±), which may contribute to the skeletal muscle weakness seen in these conditions. In this study we examined the effect of a prolonged
In cultured mouse C2C12 myotubes, digital Ca 2+ imaging fluorescence microscopy using the acetoxymethyl ester of Fura-2, Fura-2-AM, showed that, in the absence of extracellular Ca 2+, acetylcholine (ACh) and nicotine, but not muscarine, raised the intracellular concentration of Ca 2 + ([Ca 2 +]i) by
## Abstract Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)β2 regulates normal postnatal growth and its deficiency in mice causes gigantism with increased bone length and proportional enlargement in skeletal muscles. Using C2C12 mesenchymal precursor cell line as a model, we investigated a possible role of
## Abstract Protein kinase C (PKC) activity has been implicated in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) cluster disruption but the specific PKC isoforms involved have not been identified. We first tested whether phorbol esters, which activate PKCs, regulate agrinβinduced nAChR clustering in C~2
