Objective: Muscle tube cell contraction was simulated by electrical stimulation, and its effect on the expression of energy metabolism related indicators in C2C12 cell aging model induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was observed, so as to study the molecular mechanism of the effect of muscle tube contraction on energy metabolism of aging skeletal muscle cells in vitro. Methods: The senescence model was established by inducing myoduct cells with different concentrations of H2O2, and the senescence level was detected by SA-β-galactosidase staining. Electrical stimulation interfered with the successful growth of senescent muscle cells which were divided into control group (group C), H2O2-induced group (group H), control + electrical stimulation group (group CE), and H2O2-induced + electrical stimulation group (group HE). For cells in each group, PGC-1α protein expression was measured by Western blot and ATP level was measured by ATP level test kit. Results: Myotube cells were treated with 100 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours, and the aging model of skeletal muscle cells was successfully established. Compared with group C, ATP level in group H was significantly decreased(P<0.01); The ATP level in CE group was significantly higher than that in C group(P<0.01). The ATP level in HE group was lower than that in C group, but higher than that in H group, and the difference was very significant(P<0.01). Compared with group C, the expression of PGC-1α in group H was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Although the expression of PGC-1α in HE group was lower than that in C group, it was significantly higher than that in H group(P<0.01). Conclusion: H2O2 is an effective way to induce senescence of skeletal muscle myoduct cells. The protein expression levels of ATP and PGC-1α in senescent C2C12 cells decreased significantly. After electrical stimulation intervention, ATP level and PGC-1α protein expression in senescent C2C12 cells could be effectively increased. |
