Autophagy, an intracellular bulk protein degradation system in skeletal muscle, is increased under catabolic conditions resulting in muscle atrophy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, and amino acids on autophagy (LC3-II content and expression of autophagy-related genes) in chick myotubes. Chick myotubes were incubated with insulin (1 µg/ml), IGF-I (100 ng/ml), and amino acids for 3 h. The LC3-II content, an index of autophagosome formation, and mRNA expression of LC3B and GABARAPL1 were significantly decreased by insulin. The LC3-II content, but not mRNA expression of autophagy-related genes, was also significantly decreased by IGF-I. The LC3-II content and LC3B mRNA level were also significantly decreased by amino acids. The mRNA expression of atrogin-1/MAFbx, a muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase, was also significantly decreased by insulin, IGF-I, and amino acids in chick myotubes. These results indicated that insulin, IGF-I, and amino acids regulate autophagy as well as the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway in chick myotubes.
