High phosphate induces skeletal muscle atrophy and suppresses myogenic differentiation by increasing oxidative stress and activating Nrf2 signaling
Figure 6. Inhibition of Pi transport, ROS production, or Nrf2 activity counteracts high Pi-induced changes in Nrf2, p62, and myogenin expression in differentiated C2C12 cells. (A, B) Representative immunoblots of p62, Nrf2, and myogenin expression in whole-cell lysates of 3-day-differentiated C2C12 cells treated for 24 h with (A) PFA or (B) 10 μM Mito-TEMPO or 10 mM NAC. (C) Immunoblot analysis of Nrf2, p62, and myogenin expression in whole-cell lysates of 3-day-differentiated C2C12 cells treated for 24 h with 4 mM Pi and various Nrf2 modulators. β-actin was used as loading control. Data are presented as means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. corresponding control Pi (-) plus vehicle, Mito-TEMPO, or NAC. #P > 0.05.
