Mechanical signals are critical to the growth and maintenance of skeletal muscle, but the mechanism by which these signals are transduced by the cell remains unknown. This work examined the hypothesis that stretch conditions influence membrane permeability consistent with a role for membrane permeability in mechanotransduction. C2C12 myotubes were grown in conditions that encourage uniform alignment and subjected to uniform mechanical deformation in the presence of fluorescein labeled dextran to evaluate membrane permeability as a function of stretch amplitude and velocity. Within a physiologically relevant range of conditions, a complex interaction between the two aspects of stretch was observed, with velocity contributing most strongly at large stretch amplitudes. This suggests that membrane viscosity could contribute to mechanotransduction. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
