In the modern poultry industry, with increasing product demand, muscle growth rate and meat yield in chickens have tremendously changed. Understanding the regulation of muscle development is important to maintain efficient growth and development in meat-type chickens. 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol (20S) is known as one of the naturally occurring osteogenic cholesterol derivatives due to its ability to induce osteogenic differentiation; however, no studies have evaluated myogenic response to 20S in chicken muscle cells. To determine the use of 20S in vitro for the proliferation and differentiation of chicken satellite cells, satellite cells were isolated from pectoralis major muscle of 4-week-old Ross 708 male chickens and subjected to 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 μmol of 20S during their proliferation and differentiation stages. Cell proliferation and differentiation were measured every 24 h for 72 h by determining DNA concentration, the activity of creatine kinase, and the expressions of myogenic regulatory transcription factors. Together these results suggested that a lower concentration of 20S did not affect myogenesis but a high concentration of 1.0 μmol 20S can negatively affect proliferation and differentiation in chicken satellite cells.
