Muscle wasting accompanies diseases that are associated with chronic elevated levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress. We previously demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ) inhibits myogenic differentiation via the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B). The goal of the present study was to determine whether this process depends on the induction of oxidative stress. We demonstrate here that TNF-alpha causes a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) during myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells, which coincides with an elevated generation of reactive oxygen species. Supplementation of cellular GSH with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) did not reverse the inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha on troponin I promoter activation and only partially restored creatine kinase activity in TNF-alpha -treated cells. In contrast, the administration of NAC before treatment with TNF-alpha almost completely restored the formation of multinucleated myotubes. NAC decreased TNF-alpha -induced activation of NF-kappa B only marginally, indicating that the redox-sensitive component of the inhibition of myogenic differentiation by TNF-alpha occurred independently, or downstream of NF-kappa B. Our observations suggest that the inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha on myogenesis can be uncoupled in a redox-sensitive component affecting myotube formation and a redox independent component affecting myogenic protein expression.
