Myogenesis is a physiological process which involves the proliferation of myoblasts and their differentiation into multinucleated myotubes, which constitute the future muscle fibers. Commitment of myoblasts to differentiation is regulated by the balance between the myogenic factors Pax7 and MyoD. The formation of myotubes requires the presence of glycans, especially N‐glycans, on the cell surface. We examined here the involvement of α2,6 sialylation during murine myoblastic C2C12 cell differentiation by generating a st6gal1‐knockdown C2C12 cell line; these cells exhibit reduced proliferative potential and precocious differentiation due to the low expression of Pax7. The earlier fusion of st6gal1‐knockdown cells leads to a high fusion index and a drop in reserve cells (Pax7+/MyoD−). In st6gal1‐knockdown cells, the Notch pathway is inactivated; consequently, Pax7 expression is virtually abolished, leading to impairment of the proliferation rate. All these results indicate that the decrease in α2,6 sialylation of N‐glycans favors the differentiation of most cells and provokes a significant loss of reserve cells. |
