a GM DM1 DM3 DM5 DM7 b MHC +DAPI MHC GM DM4 Supplementary Figure S1. (a) Representative images of C2C12 during differentiation. C2C12 myoblasts proliferate in growth medium (GM) and differentiate to myotube in serum-depleted differentiation medium (DM) from 1 to 7 days. (b) Immunostaining of MHC in C2C12 cells cultured in GM and in DM for 4 days.
Day 0 Day 1 Day 3 Day 5 Day 10 Supplementary Figure S2. H & E images of tibialis anterior muscle cross sections in mice on days 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 post-CTX injury. Evolution of the morphological changes were seen in the diaphragm of C57BL/6 mice with muscle regeneration, leading to accumulation of mononucleated cells and their differentiation to form new myofibers to repair damaged muscle. Arrows indicate the regenerating myofiber (Day 5).

Expression of Pax7 (a)and MyoD(b) mRNAs in tibialis anterior muscles of C57BL/6 mice on days 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 post-CTX injury. The error bars depict the mean ± standard deviations of the samples from six mice in each group.

(b) Western blot and (c) quantification of myogenin in the primary myoblasts transfected with a mixture of miRNA mimics (miR-17, -20a and -92a) or NC and transferred to DM for four days. Beta-tubulin served as the loading control.

(a) Expression of ENH1 protein and mRNAs (miR-17, -20a and -92a) during C2C12 myogenesis. The error bars depict the mean ± standard deviations of three independent cell samples. (b) Expression of ENH1 protein and mRNAs (miR-17, -20a and -92a) during mouse skeletal muscle regeneration after CTX-injury. The error bars depict the mean ± standard deviations of three independent cell samples. The error bars depict the means ± standard deviations of the samples with six pigs in each group.
EdU DAPI Merge si-NC si-ENH1 OE-NC OE-ENH1 Supplementary Figure S7. The cell proliferation analysis was performed by EdU incorporation of C2C12 myoblasts transfected by si-ENH1 or plasmids expressing ENH1.
Supplementary Figure S8. Expression of Id1, Id2, Id3 and Id4 mRNAs in myoblasts. The error bars depict the mean ± standard deviations of three independent cell samples. GAPDHused as the mRNA endogenous control.

Supplementary Figure S11. miR-17-92 promoter luciferase assays. C2C12 myoblasts were co-transfected with the vectors expressing E2F1 and the miR-17-92 promoter luciferase reporter containing E2F binding sites (Wt) or mutant E2F sites (Mut). The error bars depict the means ± standard deviations of three measurements. ***P < 0.001.
