Stimulating skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) with amino acids improves their proliferation and differentiation, enhancing skeletal muscle mass, thereby increasing lean meat rate. This study explored lysine (Lys)&rsquo:s effects on SMSCs and their protein profiles in Sunit sheep. SMSCs were successfully isolated, assessing their survival and proliferation after Lys stimulation at varying concentrations using the CCK-8 assay. Western blotting revealed Lys-induced changes in myogenic differentiation protein expression, while immunocytochemistry detected &alpha:-Actinin and Myostatin within the SMSCs. TMT proteomics identified differentially expressed proteins, which underwent functional and interaction analyses, with RT-qPCR validating the corresponding gene expression. This study revealed that 4 mmol/L of Lys significantly boosted SMSC proliferation. A 24 h stimulation with this concentration reduced Myostatin expression, and increased MYOD1 and &alpha:-Actinin levels in the SMSCs. A proteomic analysis identified 577 differentially expressed proteins, primarily associated with lipoblast differentiation and muscle development, as highlighted by the GO enrichment analysis. A pathway analysis further demonstrated these proteins&rsquo: involvement in the autophagy&ndash:lysosome and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways. Lys enhances SMSC proliferation, differentiation, and adipogenesis in Sunit sheep, exhibiting antioxidant properties and supporting muscle stability and amino acid metabolism. It may also have anti-inflammatory, anti-pyroptotic, and proteolysis-inhibitory effects, offering insights into muscle growth mechanisms through amino acid supplementation in ruminants.
