Figure 2

Immortalized MDC1A myogenic cells did not express laminin-α2 and showed an altered distribution of KU70. (A) Laminin-α2 (red) appeared in a punctate pattern in multinucleate myotubes (arrows) formed from immortalized healthy control myoblasts. (B) As expected, no laminin-α2 was found in myotubes (arrows) formed from immortalized MDC1A myoblasts. (C) Immortalized myogenic cells from healthy control donors showed KU70 (green) both in the cytoplasm (arrows) and in nuclei. (D) KU70 (green) was restricted to nuclei of immortalized MDC1A myogenic cells.
