Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Schematic representation of the myogenic differentiation processes in C2C12 myoblasts dependent on culture medium and expression dynamics of representative muscle differentiation markers. Proliferation of myoblasts requires growth medium (GM; 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented medium), whereas differentiation medium (DM; 2% horse serum (HS) supplemented medium) induces rapid differentiation into multinucleated myotubes and loss of proliferative capacity. b, Representative phase contrast and immunofluorescence images showing expression of the differentiation marker Myogenin on day 3 in DM. White arrowheads indicate representative differentiating myotubes. Differentiation index quantified by the proportion of myogenin-positive cells relative to total nuclei is shown in the graph. (Control: n = 1652, Vitronectin: n = 1746) c, Time-course observation of myotube differentiation by immunofluorescence for myosin heavy chain (MHC). d, Fusion index quantified by the number of nuclei per MHC-positive myotube on day 3 in DM shown in the graph (Control: n=50, Vitronectin: n=50 in MHC-positive cells).
