Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) SIK2-176aa promotes the mRNA level of CDKN1A , CDKN1B , CDKN2B , Cyclin D2 , and PCNA . ( B ) The protein expression of CDKN1A, CDKN1B, CDKN2B, and Cyclin D2 was determined by western blot in myoblast cells. ( C ) The statistical results of cell cycle analysis after overexpression of SIK2-176aa. ( D, R ) The EdU staining ( D ) and proliferation rate ( E ) of myoblast cells transfected with pCD3.1-SIK2-176aa-FLAG. ( F, G ) Myotube area ( F ) and MyHC staining ( G ) after transfected with pCD3.1-SIK2-176aa-FLAG. ( H ) SIK2-176aa promotes the mRNA level of GHR-IGF-AKT pathway genes including GHR , IGF2 , IGF1R , INSR , AKT1 , and the myogenic regulatory factor family member including MyoD , MyoG , MyHC , Myomaker , Myf5 , and Myf6 . ( K ) H-E staining of breast muscle fiber cross section infected with LV5-SIK2-176aa or LV5-Control (upper panel) and the statistical data of muscle fiber diameter and cross-sectional area (lower panel). Lentivirus was injected three times into the pectoral muscles of 1-day-old chicks (n = 10) at days 1, 4, and 7 at a dosage of 1 × 10 8 IU/mL. The pectoral muscles were obtained 14 days after the first injection. ( L ) q-RT PCR detection of the injection efficiency of LV5-SIK2-176aa. ( I-J, M-N ) SIK2-176aa promotes the protein expression of IGF1R, INSR, p-AKT1, MyoD, and MyHC in vivo ( I-J ) and in vitro ( M-N ), western blot was from an aliquot of the same sample but were run and blotted from different gels.
