title: [Effect of sodium hyaluronate on proliferation and differentiation of myoblast in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effects of sodium hyaluronate solution on the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts.
  
  
  METHODS
  The 3rd subculture myoblasts from muscle of infant SD rat were cultured in four growth media, in which the concentrations of sodium hyaluronate were 0.05% (group A), 0.1% ( group B), 0.2% (group C)and 0 (group D, control group), respectively. The proliferation rate of myoblasts in each medium was observed through growth curves by means of count and MTT. At the same time, the subculture myoblasts were cultured in differentiated media in which the concentrations of sodium hyaluronate were 0 and 0.1%. The capacity of fusion of myoblasts was compared between two kinds of differentiated media.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were the nearly same proliferation curse in Groups A, B and C: increasing by logarithm at 2 days and reaching peak value at 4 days. The myoblasts in Group D increased slowly: increasing by logarithm at 3 days, doubling at 5 days and reaching peak value at 6 days. MTT has the similar curse to counting. The myoblast proliferation of Group B was more than that of the other groups. The peak value of myoblast fusion was 35% at 6 days in common differentiated media; slowly reached 11.7% at 7 days in the differentiated media in which the concentrations of sodium hyaluronate was 0.1%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sodium hyaluronate at certain concentration can be a decent media for myoblasts, it can accelerate proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts.
