The differentiation program of skeletal muscle cells is exquisitely sensitive to secreted proteins. We developed a strategy to maximize the discovery of secreted proteins, using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, from cultured muscle cells, C2C12, grown in a serum-free medium. This strategy led to the identification of 80 nonredundant proteins, of which 27 were secretory proteins that were identified with a minimum of two tryptic peptides. A number of the identified secretory proteins are involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, cellular proliferation, migration, and signaling. A putative network of proteins involving matrix metalloproteinase 2, SPARC, and cystatin C that all interact with TGFbeta signaling has been postulated to contribute toward a functional role in the myogenic differentiation program.
