Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A variety of cytokines such as cytokines, growth factors and inflammatory proteins play an important role in the development of skeletal muscle.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biological characteristics of a variety of cytokines and their effects on skeletal muscle cells and pancreatic β cells.
METHODS: Relevant articles published from 2002 to 2015 were retrieved in CNKI and PubMed databases using the English keywords “cytokines, adiponectin, leptin, visfatin, skeletal muscle cells, pancreatic β cells”. Initially 253 literatures were obtained, and finally 53 eligible literatures were included based on the exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As a fat-specific protein newly found, adiponectin can improve the insulin sensitivity by promoting glucose uptake, storage and utilization in skeletal muscle cells. The activation of muscle satellite cells and skeletal myoblast proliferation are both dependent on leptin, so leptin plays a vital role in the skeletal muscle cell growth and development. Visfatin, a pleiotropic cytokine, widely presents in the skeletal muscle, liver and bone marrow, and participates in the regulation of inflammation and immune function. Furthermore, visfatin contributes to glucose uptake and metabolism in the skeletal muscle, and makes considerable effects on the stress and signal transduction of skeletal muscle cells.
