C2C12 is a myoblast cell line which is used to studydifferentiation into multinucleated cells in vitro. Addition of calpain inhibitors, calpeptin orE-64d, to the culture medium prevented the myoblasticfusion of C2C12 cells. Immunoblot studies usingaffinity-purified antibody, revealed that the expressedlevels of mouse calpastatin remained unaltered duringC2C12 cell fusion. The detected calpastatin migratedas a protein of 130 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis. The estimated molecular mass wassomewhat greater than that in mouse liver anderythrocytes, and much greater than that reported inrat myoblasts. The 130 kDa isoform may contain anadditional N-terminal region designated XL domainfound in bovine calpastatin.
C2C12 是一种成肌细胞系,用于研究体外的多核细胞分化。在培养基中添加钙蛋白酶抑制剂 calpeptin 或 E-64d 可以防止 C2C12 细胞的成肌融合。使用亲和纯化抗体的免疫印迹研究表明,在 C2C12 细胞融合过程中,表达的鼠钙蛋白酶抑制剂的水平保持不变。检测到的钙蛋白酶抑制剂在 SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳中迁移为 130 kDa 的蛋白质。估计的分子量比在鼠肝和红细胞中的稍大,比在大鼠成肌细胞中报道的大得多。130 kDa 同工型可能含有一个额外的 N 端区域,称为 XL 结构域,在牛钙蛋白酶抑制剂中发现。
