Abstract

Sarcopenia is an aging-related disease that involves the gradual loss of muscle mass and function. However, no suitable therapeutic drugs are currently available. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of rosemary extract (RE) in inducing myotube differentiation and inhibiting 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR)-induced muscle atrophy in mouse C2C12 cells. Morphological changes associated with the onset of RE-induced differentiation were evaluated by measuring myotube diameter, and the expression of proteins related to muscle differentiation and atrophy was measured using western blot analysis. Treatment with RE increased myotube thickness and the expression of the myogenic differentiation 1 (MyoD) and myogenin proteins. The effect of RE treatment on 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), MyoD, myogenin, muscle atrophy factors forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), MAFbx/atrogin-1, and muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF-1) protein expression in AICAR-induced muscle-atrophied C2C12 cells was evaluated using western blot analysis. Treatment with RE reduced FoxO3a, MAFbx/atrogin-1, and MuRF-1 expression and significantly increased MyoD and myogenin expression. These findings suggest that RE has the potential to be used as an active ingredient in sarcopenia treatments.
