Effect Of Tamoxifen On Proteome Expression During In Vitro Myogenesis In Murine Skeletal Muscle C2C12 Cells, Emily A. Morris, Ahlenne Abreu, S. P. Scordilis

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Tamoxifen (TMX), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is commonly used in the treatment of hormone-responsive cancers. However, the effects of TMX in anabolic tissues harboring estrogen receptors, such as skeletal muscle, are poorly understood. We report a tandem mass-tag approach to TMX-treated myogenesis in C₂C₁₂ cells, a well-characterized model of in vitro murine skeletal muscle differentiation. A longitudinal analysis of >10,000 proteins identified in untreated C₂C₁₂ myogenesis revealed a novel subset of 1,062 myogenically regulated proteins. These proteins clustered into five distinct longitudinal expression trends which significantly overlap those obtained in similar analyses performed …
