Differential expression of SREBP-1c and Wnt proteins during skeletal muscle ontogenesis and regeneration.

(A) Western blot analysis showing inverse expression patterns between Wnt10b and SREBP-1c during ontogenesis. The developmental stages are underlined using antibodies against developmental (MyHC-Dev) and fast (MyHC-2) myosin heavy chains. (B) Western blot analysis of Wnt10b and SREBP-1c protein levels in regenerating (R) adult EDL muscles at 2, 8, and 30 days after crush injury as compared to contralateral control (C) EDL. The down-regulation of SREBP-1c was concomitant with the up-regulation of Wnt10b throughout regeneration. The blots are representative of 3 independent experiments.
