Objectives Sugammadex (also known as bridion) is a modified γ-cyclodextrin, which is a reversal agent for the neuromuscular block. Growth hormone (GH) has an important biological effect on muscle, regulating muscle growth and development. In the current work, we explored the effect of Sugammadex on GH’s bioactivities. Methods Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), flow cytometry, indirect immunofluorescence, Western-blot, and IP-WB were used to explore the effect of Sugammadex on GH’s bioactivities. Results We found that Sugammadex reduced the activity of GH on muscle cells, which down-regulated GH/GHR-mediated intracellular signaling pathway, such as Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 (STAT5). We further study the potential biological mechanism by which Sugammadex down-regulated GH/GHR-mediated signaling pathway, a series of related experiments were conducted, and found that Sugammadex may inhibit the proliferation of C2C12 cell via regulating the membrane-localized GHR, which may be the underlying mechanism by which Sugammadex suppressed GHR-induced signaling transduction. This work has laid the theoretical and experimental basis for further exploring the relationship between Sugammadex and GH’s activity. Conclusions In conclusion, this study laid a foundation for further study on the relationship between Sugammadex and GH’s activity.
