 ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gastric inhibitorypolypeptide (GIP), so-called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, andglucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex4) on mousemyoblast-derived cell line C2C12. Muscle protein content in C2C12 myotubes wasincreased by 10-8 M GIP (p<0.05).On the other hand, Ex4 (10-8 and 10-6 M) hadno impact on muscle protein content of C2C12 myotubes. GIP-associated increase ofmuscle protein content in C2C12 myotubes was observed in GIP-receptor-knockdowncells. However, GIP-associated effects on C2C12 myotubes was partially attenuated byknockdown of GIP receptor. GIP receptor knockdown itself has a stimulating effect on proliferative potential of C2C12 myoblasts. Evidences from this study strongly suggestthat digestive hormone GIP may increase or maintain skeletal muscle mass. Oral foodintake-associated digestive hormone(s)may be a potential tool for skeletal musclehypertrophy.
