Summary

Automatic Translation

We provide a protocol to stably knock down genes encoding extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in C2C12 myoblasts using small-hairpin (sh) RNA. Targeting ADAMTSL2 as an example, we describe the methods for the validation of the knockdown efficiency on the mRNA, protein, and cellular level during C2C12 myoblast to myotube differentiation.
