TNF-α and IGF1 modify the microRNA signature in skeletal muscle cell differentiation
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevated levels of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α are common in chronic diseases or inherited or degenerative muscle disorders and can lead to muscle wasting. By contrast, IGF1 has a growth promoting effect on skeletal muscle. The molecular mechanisms mediating the effect of TNF-α and IGF1 on muscle cell differentiation are not completely understood. Muscle cell proliferation and differentiation are...
