  • PROMOTION EFFECT OF CHONDROITIN SULFATE ON PROLIFERATION OF MYOBLASTS

    ObjectiveTo research the effect of chondroitin sulfate (CS) on the proliferation of myoblasts and the formation of myotube. MethodsThe myoblasts at passage 5 were used to prepare the cells suspension (1×108 cells/mL), and the experiment was divided into 4 groups based on CS concentration in the medium:group A (0 μg/mL), group B (50 μg/mL), group C (100 μg/mL), and group D (200 μg/mL). The cell morphology and myotube formation were observed by inverted microscope at 4, 5, and 8 days after treatment; MTT was used to detect the cell proliferation at 6 days, and the number of myotube was calculated by HE staining at 8 days. ResultsCells showed spindle shape after adherent, with ovoid nuclei and dense cytoplasm under inverted microscope. When the cell adherent rate was 90%, cells arranged in whorls swirled and showed long fusiform adherent growth; and then nuclei fusion resulted in formation of multincleated myotubes. At 8 days, most myoblasts fused to form myotube in group A, but less myotube was observed in groups B and C, and the least myotube in group D. The absorbance (A) values of groups A, B, C, and D were 0.045 2±0.004 4, 0.540 4±0.096 7, 0.660 9±0.143 4, and 1.069 0±0.039 0 respectively, showing significant difference between other groups (P<0.05) except between groups B and C P>0.05). HE staining observation showed that most myoblasts fused to form myotube in group A, but less myotube in groups B and C, and the least myotube in group D. The number of myotube of groups A, B, C, and D were 222.01±30.02, 193.13±42.46, 170.26±11.96, and 136.88±16.78 respectively, showing no significant difference among groups (F=1.658, P=0.252). ConclusionCS can significantly promote the proliferation of myoblast, the promotion is the biggest when CS concentration is 200 μg/mL.
