Mutations in the RYR1 gene are associated with congenital myopathies. Recently, a role of RyR1 in myotubes differentiation has been proposed and attributed to its calcium channel function, which nonetheless remains to be clearly demonstrated. In order to clarify RyR1 role in myogenesis, we have developed an in vitro model, the so-called RyR1-Rec myotubes, which are mouse primary myotubes with an inducible decrease in RyR1 protein amount and in RyR1-mediated calcium release. Using this model, we showed that the RyR1 protein decrease was responsible for an increase in both differentiation and fusion, from the RNA level to the morphological level, without affecting the myogenic factors MyoD and MyoG. Although an increase in mTOR pathway was observed in RyR1-Rec myotubes, it did not seem to be responsible for the role of RyR1 in myogenesis. Additionally, even if modulation of intracellular calcium level affected RyR1-Rec myotubes differentiation, we have shown that the role of RyR1 in myogenesis was independent of its calcium channel function. Therefore, our findings indicate that, besides its pivotal role as a calcium channel responsible for muscle contraction, RyR1 fulfills a calcium-independent inhibitor function of myogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells14030158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]],"date-time":"2025-01-21T11:47:32Z","timestamp":1737460052000},"page":"158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["RyR1 Is Involved in the Control of Myogenesis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Amandine","family":"Tourel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6188-1010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robin","family":"Reynaud-Dulaurier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9345-5191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Brocard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3660-9809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julien","family":"Faur\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Marty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Petiot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Grenoble Alpes, Inserm, U1216, CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble Institute Neurosciences, 38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4183","DOI":"10.1113\/JP279512","article-title":"Ryanodine receptor activity and store-operated Ca2+ entry: Critical regulators of Ca2+ content and function in skeletal muscle","volume":"601","author":"Pearce","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
