Results: Compared to vehicle controls, incubation of LX-2 cells with 0.5 mM FFAs induced profibrogenic genes (alpha-SMA x 2.9; TGF-beta1 x 1.6; TIMP-1 x 1.4), death receptors (CD95/Fas x 3.8; TNFR-1 x 1.4), and anti-apoptotic molecules (Bcl-2 x 2.3; Mcl-1 x 1.3).

Here, we performed histological and morphometric analysis of myotubes and assessed DNA fragmentation and Bcl-2/Bcl-X (L) expression in skeletal muscle from fetuses with type I SMA (at approximately 12 and 15 weeks' gestational ages, n = 4) and controls (at approximately 10-15 weeks' gestational ages, n = 7).
