Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibitory effect of recombinant ADAMTS1 on ADAM10-mediated NOTCH1 activation. (A, B) ADAMTS1 knockdown C2C12 cells were treated with recombinant ADAMTS1 protein at a concentration of 100 ng/ml. Differentiated myotubes were visualized using Jenner’s staining (A), and the myotube length was measured (B). Scale bar: 500 μm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. (C) Effect of ADAM10 on muscle cell differentiation. Recombinant ADAM10 protein was added at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/ml. Differentiated myotube length was measured. ***P < 0.001. (D) Western blotting analysis of ADAM10-treated C2C12 cells. Quantification of protein expression using ImageJ software. ***P < 0.001. (E) Immunofluorescence staining of C2C12 cells. Cells were treated with recombinant ADAM10 at 10 ng/ml and recombinant ADAMTS1 at 0 (untreated), 1, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/ml. Scale bar: 100 μm. (F) Western blotting analysis of C2C12 cells treated with recombinant ADAM10 at 10 ng/ml and recombinant ADAMTS1 at 0 (untreated), 1, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/ml. Protein expression was quantified using ImageJ software. † P < 0.05, †† P < 0.01, ††† P < 0.001 compared to control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared to recombinant ADAMTS1 untreated group. (G) Quantification of Hes1 mRNA expression. † P < 0.05 compared to control group, **P < 0.01 compared to the untreated group. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was tested using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. Con, control; si-ctrl, control siRNA; si-ATS #1, ADAMTS1 siRNA #1; si-ATS #2, ADAMTS1 siRNA #2; rA, recombinant ADAMTS1.
