Abstract
Sarcopenia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has a detrimental effect on prognosis. Previous studies have explored the role of secondary calciprotein particles (CPP2) in determining the progression of complications and poor outcomes in patients with CKD. However, no study has demonstrated that CPP2 impairs skeletal myogenesis. Our study revealed that CPP2 exposure inhibits skeletal myogenesis by suppressing myotube formation and expression of skeletal muscle-specific myosin heavy chain and actin in human primary myoblasts. Moreover, CPP2 exposure altered the expression patterns of lineage-determinative transcription factors responsible for regulating myotube differentiation marker genes. This study first demonstrated that CPP2 interferes with myoblast differentiation and myotube formation in vitro.
