L6 cells were obtained from ATCC and cultured as described (Dolinar et al., 2018). Briefly, L6 cells were cultured in MEMα supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS, 1% (v/v) pen strep, and 0.3% (v/v) fungizone. All experiments with L6 muscle cells were performed on the differentiated myotubes. To differentiate myoblasts into myotubes, myoblasts were grown in the presence of 10% (v/v) FBS until they were almost confluent and then for additional 7–9 days in MEMα with 2% (v/v) FBS.
