Muscle wasting is associated with 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 elevated oxidant levels. Importantly, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) administration prior to treatment with TNF{alpha} almost completely restored the formation of multinucleated myotubes, but failed to reverse the inhibitory effects of TNF{alpha} on troponin I (TnI) promoter activation or creatine kinase (CK) activity. NAC decreased the TNF{alpha}-induced activation of NF-{kappa}B partially, indicating that the redox or thiol -sensitive component of the inhibition of myogenic differentiation by TNF{alpha} occurred independently, or downstream of NF-{kappa}B. In support of this, hydrogen peroxide also resulted in an inhibition of myogenic differentiation, which occurred without concurrent activation of NF-{kappa}B. Our observations suggest that a redox dependent mechanism is important in the block of myotube formation associated with exposure to cytokines or oxidants, whereas muscle specific protein expression can be regulated in a redox dependent or independent manner.
