Wang GL, Semenza GL (1993) Desferrioxamine induces erythropoietin gene expression and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 DNA-binding activity: implications for models of hypoxia signal transduction. These results suggest that cobalt chloride might modulate myogenin expression at post-transcriptional and post-translational levels, resulting in the failure of the myoblasts to differentiate into myotubes.Ĭhaillou T, Lanner JT (2016) Regulation of myogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration: effects of oxygen levels on satellite cell activity. A proteasome inhibitor completely prevents cobalt chloride-mediated decrease in myogenin protein. A muscle-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase MAFbx, which can target myogenin protein for proteasomal degradation, is upregulated along with changes in Akt/Foxo and AMPK/Foxo signaling pathways.

Under chemical hypoxia, myogenin stability is decreased at mRNA and protein levels. The impaired myoblast differentiation is accompanied by downregulation of myogenic regulatory factor myogenin. Here, we show that cobalt chloride strongly suppresses myoblast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. The intrinsic underlying mechanisms of myoblast differentiation, however, are not fully understood. Several studies have suggested that chemical hypoxia may cause deleterious effects on myogenesis. Cobalt chloride can create hypoxia-like state in vitro (referred to as chemical hypoxia).
