The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle of mixed fiber type that is unique in its requirement to maintain contractile function and fatigue resistance across a wide range of temperatures to sustain alveolar ventilation under conditions of hypo- or hyperthermia. The direct effect of temperature (15-41 degrees C) on rat diaphragm isometric contractility and fatigue was determined in vitro. As temperature decreased from 37 to 15 degrees C, contraction and relaxation times increased, and there was a left shift of the diaphragm's force-frequency curve, with decreased contractility at 41 and 15 degrees C. Fatigue was induced by 10 min of stimulation with 30 trains/min of 5 Hz at a train duration of 900 ms. Compared with 37 degrees C, fatigue resistance was enhanced at 25 degrees C, but no difference in fatigue indexes was evident at extreme hypothermia (15 degrees C) or hyperthermia (41 degrees C). Only when the fatigue program was adjusted to account for hypothermia-induced increases in tension-time indexes was fatigue resistance evident at 15 degrees C. These findings indicate that despite the diaphragm's unique location as a core structure, necessitating exposure to in vivo temperatures higher than found in limb muscle, the temperature dependence of rat diaphragm muscle contractility and fatigue is similar to that reported for limb muscle of mixed fiber type. 相似文献

Changes in the contractile and fatigue properties of the cat diaphragm muscle were examined during the first 6 wk of postnatal development. Both twitch contraction time and half-relaxation time decreased progressively with age. Correspondingly, the force-frequency curve was shifted to the left early in development compared with adults. The ratio of peak twitch force to maximum tetanic force decreased with age. Fatigue resistance of the diaphragm was highest at birth and then progressively decreased with age. At birth, most diaphragm muscle fibers stained darkly for myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase after alkaline preincubation and thus would be classified histochemically as type II. During subsequent postnatal development, the proportion of type I fibers (lightly stained for adenosinetriphosphatase) increased while the number of type II fibers declined. At birth, type I fibers were larger than type II fibers. The size of both fiber types increased with age, but the increase in cross-sectional area was greater for type II fibers. On the basis of fiber type proportions and mean cross-sectional areas, type I fibers contributed 15% of total muscle mass at birth and 25% in adults. Thus postnatal changes in diaphragm contractile and fatigue properties cannot be attributed to changes in the relative contribution of histochemically classified type I and II fibers. However, the possibility that these developmental changes in diaphragm contractile and fatigue properties correlated with the varying contractile protein composition of muscle fibers was discussed. 相似文献

Adaptations of the diaphragm in emphysema. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In adult male hamsters the influence of emphysema (EMP) on the in vitro contractile and fatigue properties and the histochemical, morphometric, and metabolic properties of muscle fibers in the costal diaphragm was determined 6 mo after the administration of either elastase or saline (controls, CTL). Isometric contractile properties were determined in vitro using supramaximal direct muscle stimulation. Optimal fiber length for force generation was significantly shorter in the EMP than in the CTL diaphragm. Maximum specific force (i.e., force per unit area) was 25% lower than CTL. Fatigue resistance was significantly improved in the EMP diaphragm compared with CTL. Diaphragm muscle fibers were classified as type I or II on the basis of histochemical staining for myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase after alkaline preincubation. The proportions of type I and II fibers were similar between the two groups. Cross-sectional areas of type II fibers were 30% larger in EMP than in CTL diaphragms. Succinate dehydrogenase activities of both type I and II fibers were higher in EMP than in CTL diaphragms. The number of capillaries surrounding both type I and II fibers increased with EMP, but in proportion to the hypertrophy of these fibers. Thus, capillary density (number of capillaries per fiber cross-sectional area) remained unchanged. We postulate that these contractile, morphometric, and metabolic adaptations reflect an increased activation of the diaphragm in response to the loads imposed by EMP. 相似文献

The effect of high-intensity trained (6 X 4.5 min at 40 m/min, 15% grade, 2.5-min rest between bouts, 5 days/wk, for 6 wk) on contractile, biochemical, and fatigue properties of the rat diaphragm were examined. The exercise program produced significant elevations in the mitochondrial marker enzyme citrate synthase (mumol X g-1 X min-1) in the soleus (SOL) (27.2 +/- 1.5 vs. 46.7 +/- 2.4; mean +/- SE), deep vastus lateralis (DVL) (40.8 +/- 2.6 vs. 58.3 +/- 2.8), and superficial vastus lateralis (SVL) (8.5 +/- 0.6 vs. 11.4 +/- 0.7). No significant differences were observed in the crural (CRU) (45.9 +/- 2.0 vs. 44.0 +/- 2.3) or ventral costal (VEN) (41.5 +/- 2.0 vs. 45.8 +/- 2.6) diaphragmatic regions. Phosphofructokinase, the rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, significantly increased in the SOL (19.0 +/- 0.8 vs. 23.3 +/- 1.3 mumol X g-1 X min-1) and DVL (69.3 +/- 6.0 vs. 86.6 +/- 5.0), but no alterations were seen in the SVL (98.6 +/- 5.7 vs. 106.1 +/- 9.0), CRU (54.4 +/- 2.8 vs. 53.8 +/- 1.5), or VEN (44.7 +/- 2.4 vs. 46.4 +/- 1.4) posttraining. Diaphragm contractile properties, with the exception of an increased rate of fall in twitch tension, remained unchanged after training. Glycogen values were significantly higher in trained diaphragms at rest (6.54 +/- 0.39 vs. 4.86 +/- 0.41 mg/g) and during 1, 5, and 10 min of fatiguing stimulation. During fatigue no differences were observed in force, rate of rise in force, rate of fall in force, muscle lactate, ATP, or creatine phosphate in trained vs. control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Isometric contractile properties and instantaneous stiffness of amphibian skeletal muscle in the temperature range from 0 to 20 degrees C 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The isometric contractile properties of frog (Rana pipiens) and toad (Bufo bufo) sartorii have been studied over the temperature range from 0 to 20 degrees C. The isometric twitch tension was found to vary considerably between these two species and between muscles in the same species. Between 0 and 4 degrees C there was very little change in maximum isometric twitch tension. Between 4 and 12 degrees C several muscles from frog or toad showed a potentiation of twitch tension whereas others showed a decline. Over this temperature range the toad sartorii consistently demonstrated a greater potentiation. By 12 degrees C a steady decline in twitch tension in both muscles was seen as the temperature range the toad sartorii consistently demonstrated a greater potentiation. By 12 degrees C a steady decline in twitch tension in both muscles was seen as the temperature approached 20 degrees C. The maximum isometric tetanic tension recorded between 18 and 20 degrees C increased fractionally to an average of 1.504 +/- 0.029 (n = 4) for frog sartorii and to 1.377 +/- 0.008 (n = 5) for toad sartorii. The time to peak twitch tension and the half-relaxation time decreased markedly with an increase in temperature. Moreover, the half-relaxation time was reduced by a greater proportion than the time to peak twitch tension. Measurements of instantaneous stiffness by controlled velocity releases from the plateau of isometric tetani revealed that the large increase in isometric tetanus tension as the muscle was warmed was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in the total number of active cross-bridges. The possibility that a decreased availability of intracellular Ca2+ ions at the contractile sites contributing to the fall of isometric twitch tension at elevated temperatures is discussed. The possibility exists that at elevated temperatures a change inthe intrinsic contractile ability of the muscle occurs which produces an increased tension per cross-bridge. 相似文献

We studied the fiber types and contractile properties of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles from young adult mice, rats and guinea pigs, and the correlation between these two parameters. Individual fibers in both muscles were classified as fast-twitch glycolytic (FG), fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG) or slow-twitch oxidative (SO) fibers according to Peter et al., and type II B, II A, or I fibers according to Brooke & Kaiser. Contractile properties were measured in situ at 37 degrees C. The isometric twitch contraction time (CT) and one-half relaxation time (1/2 RT) tended to be shortened in proportion to the area occupied by type II fibers, and type II B fibers. However, the differences between CT and fiber types were not always uniform among the three species. The CT of the rat EDL, in spite of its higher proportion of type II B fibers about 10% was the same as that of the guinea-pig EDL. The SOL of the mouse, composed of about 50% type I (SO) fibers, had a CT about as short as that of the EDL. In the case of the classification by Peter et al., the relationship between the percentage of subgroups of fast-twitch fibers and the CT or 1/2 RT, but not the resistance to fatigue, was not obvious. The resistance to fatigue tended to be enhanced in proportion to the area occupied by FOG in the EDL and by SO (type I) in the SOL. These results suggest that the contractile properties of individual fibers identified histochemically are distinct among animal species, producing interspecies differences in fiber types along with different contractile properties. However, it may be possible to compare the difference between fiber types and CT or 1/2 RT in the classification based on the pH lability of myosin ATPase, and also the difference between fiber types and resistance to fatigue in the classification based on the oxidative enzyme. 相似文献

A variety of studies have examined the response of diaphragmatic blood flow (Qdi) to rhythmic pleiometric (i.e., shortening) and isometric contractions. The effect of changes in diaphragm fiber length on Qdi are, however, unknown. The present study examined the effect of changes in diaphragm fiber length on Qdi and the effect of alterations in length on the response of Qdi to increases in diaphragm contractile activity. Studies were performed on 21 anesthetized mechanically ventilated dogs in which a strip of costal diaphragm was developed in situ. The strip was immobilized in a rigid metal frame that permitted precise adjustment of muscle length. Strip blood flow was assessed with a drop counter attached to a catheter in the branch of the phrenic vein draining the strip. Strips were electrically stimulated via intramuscular electrodes, and the isometric tension developed was measured with a force transducer. Fiber length was expressed as a percentage of the length at which active isometric tension was maximum (Lo). With the diaphragm at rest, steady-state blood flow fell by 59 +/- 6% (SE) (P less than 0.001) as fiber length was increased from 92 to 107% Lo. Blood flow also varied as a function of length when muscles contracted rhythmically (15 contractions/min, duty cycle 50%) to generate isometric tensions equal to 20 and 80% of maximum. As fiber length increased from 92 to 106% Lo, Qdi fell by 36 +/- 6% (SE) when tension was 80% of maximum (P less than 0.01) and by 38 +/- 6% (SE) when tension was 20% of maximum (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The influence of 90 h of acute nutritional deprivation (ND; water ad libitum only) on in vitro contractile and fatigue properties, muscle fiber type proportions, and cross-sectional areas (CSA) of the adolescent rat diaphragm was determined. Diaphragm muscle properties in the ND rats were compared with those in control rats (CTL; food and water ad libitum). Acute ND resulted in a 32% reduction in body mass, whereas the body mass of CTL rats increased by 29%. Acute ND resulted in a significant reduction in the mass of the diaphragm (costal, 36%; crural, 43%), soleus (36%), and medial gastrocnemius (45%) muscles. Isometric twitch characteristics of the diaphragm muscle (contraction and half-relaxation times) were prolonged in the ND animals. Peak twitch and maximum tetanic forces were unaffected by ND. Fatigue resistance of the diaphragm muscle was improved in ND animals. Diaphragm muscle fiber type proportions were similar in ND and CTL groups. The CSA of type I and II diaphragm muscle fibers were reduced by 22 and 40%, respectively, in ND animals compared with CTL. We conclude that, whereas an identical protocol of acute ND had no significant effects on diaphragm muscle structure and function in adult rats, adolescent animals exhibit significantly less nutritional reserve. These differences may be due to curtailment of the rapid anabolic rate in growing animals. 相似文献

Effect of resistance training on single muscle fiber contractile function in older men. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The purpose of this study was to examine single cell contractile mechanics of skeletal muscle before and after 12 wk of progressive resistance training (PRT) in older men (n = 7; age = 74 +/- 2 yr and weight = 75 +/- 5 kg). Knee extensor PRT was performed 3 days/wk at 80% of one-repetition maximum. Muscle biopsy samples were obtained from the vastus lateralis before and after PRT (pre- and post-PRT, respectively). For analysis, chemically skinned single muscle fibers were studied at 15 degrees C for peak tension [the maximal isometric force (P(o))], unloaded shortening velocity (V(o)), and force-velocity parameters. In this study, a total of 199 (89 pre- and 110 post-PRT) myosin heavy chain (MHC) I and 99 (55 pre- and 44 post-PRT) MHC IIa fibers were reported. Because of the minimal number of hybrid fibers identified post-PRT, direct comparisons were limited to MHC I and IIa fibers. Muscle fiber diameter increased 20% (83 +/- 1 to 100 +/- 1 microm) and 13% (86 +/- 1 to 97 +/- 2 microm) in MHC I and IIa fibers, respectively (P < 0.05). P(o) was higher (P < 0.05) in MHC I (0.58 +/- 0.02 to 0.90 +/- 0.02 mN) and IIa (0.68 +/- 0.02 to 0.85 +/- 0.03 mN) fibers. Muscle fiber V(o) was elevated 75% (MHC I) and 45% (MHC IIa) after PRT (P < 0.05). MHC I and IIa fiber power increased (P < 0.05) from 7.7 +/- 0.5 to 17.6 +/- 0.9 microN. fiber lengths. s(-1) and from 25.5 to 41.1 microN. fiber lengths. s(-1), respectively. These data indicate that PRT in elderly men increases muscle cell size, strength, contractile velocity, and power in both slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibers. However, it appears that these changes are more pronounced in the MHC I muscle fibers. 相似文献

Fiber type and temperature dependence of inorganic phosphate: implications for fatigue 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Elevated levels of Pi are thought to cause a substantial proportion of the loss in muscular force and power output during fatigue from intense contractile activity. However, support for this hypothesis is based, in part, on data from skinned single fibers obtained at low temperatures (15°C). The effect of high (30 mM) Pi concentration on the contractile function of chemically skinned single fibers was examined at both low (15°C) and high (30°C) temperatures using fibers isolated from rat soleus (type I fibers) and gastrocnemius (type II fibers) muscles. Elevating Pi from 0 to 30 mM at saturating free Ca2+ levels depressed maximum isometric force (Po) by 54% at 15°C and by 19% at 30°C (P < 0.05; significant interaction) in type I fibers. Similarly, the Po of type II fibers was significantly more sensitive to high levels of Pi at the lower (50% decrease) vs. higher temperature (5% decrease). The maximal shortening velocity of both type I and type II fibers was not significantly affected by elevated Pi at either temperature. However, peak fiber power was depressed by 49% at 15°C but by only 16% at 30°C in type I fibers. Similarly, in type II fibers, peak power was depressed by 40 and 18% at 15 and 30°C, respectively. These data suggest that near physiological temperatures and at saturating levels of intracellular Ca2+, elevated levels of Pi contribute less to fatigue than might be inferred from data obtained at lower temperatures. skinned single fiber; force; power 相似文献

The effects of 2 wk of inactivity on in vitro contractile properties of diaphragm and medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscles were examined in adult hamsters. In addition, inactivity effects on fiber-type proportions and cross-sectional areas were studied. Inactivity of the right hemidiaphragm or MG muscle was induced by either tetrodotoxin (TTX) blockade of nerve impulses or denervation (DNV). Inactivity effects on diaphragm or MG were compared with corresponding sham (saline-treated or untreated control) muscles. After both TTX- and DNV-induced inactivity, isometric twitch contraction and half-relaxation times were prolonged, maximum tetanic force decreased, and fatigue resistance improved. Proportions of type I and II fibers in both diaphragm and MG were unaffected by TTX- and DNV-induced inactivity. However, in both muscles, type I fibers hypertrophied, whereas type II fibers atrophied. In diaphragm, contractile and morphometric adaptations after DNV were generally more pronounced than those induced by TTX. In addition, compared with corresponding untreated or saline-treated control groups, inactivity effects (both TTX and DNV) on MG were generally greater than those induced in diaphragm, with the exception of hypertrophy of type I fibers. We conclude that inactivity exerts differential effects on type I and II fibers in both diaphragm and MG. Yet, these morphometric adaptations cannot completely account for the adaptations in muscle contractile and fatigue properties after inactivity. 相似文献

Temperature dependence of the isometric tension was examined in chemically skinned, glycerinated, rabbit Psoas, muscle fibers immersed in relaxing solution (pH approximately 7.1 at 20 degrees C, pCa approximately 8, ionic strength 200 mM); the average rate of heating/cooling was 0.5-1 degree C/s. The resting tension increased reversibly with temperature (5-42 degrees C); the tension increase was slight in warming to approximately 25 degrees C (a linear thermal contraction, -alpha, of approximately 0.1%/degree C) but became more pronounced above approximately 30 degrees C (similar behavior was seen in intact rat muscle fibers). The extra tension rise at the high temperatures was depressed in acidic pH and in the presence of 10 mM inorganic phosphate; it was absent in rigor fibers in which the tension decreased with heating (a linear thermal expansion, alpha, of approximately 4 x 10(-5)/degree C). Below approximately 20 degrees C, the tension response after a approximately 1% length increase (complete < 0.5 ms) consisted of a fast decay (approximately 150.s-1 at 20 degrees C) and a slow decay (approximately 10.s-1) of tension. The rate of fast decay increased with temperature (Q10 approximately 2.4); at 35-40 degrees C, it was approximately 800.s-1, and it was followed by a delayed tension rise (stretch-activation) at 30-40.s-1. The linear rise of passive tension in warming to approximately 25 degrees C may be due to increase of thermal stress in titin (connectin)-myosin composite filament, whereas the extra tension above approximately 30 degrees C may arise from cycling cross-bridges; based on previous findings from regulated actomyosin in solution (Fuchs, 1975), it is suggested that heating reversibly inactivates the troponin-tropomyosin control mechanism and leads to Ca-independent thin filament activation at high temperatures. Additionally, we propose that the heating-induced increase of endo-sarcomeric stress within titin-myosin composite filament makes the cross-bridge mechanism stretch-sensitive at high temperatures. 相似文献

To find out whether the decrease in muscle performance of isolated mammalian skeletal muscle associated with the increase in temperature toward physiological levels is related to the increase in muscle superoxide (O(2)(*-)) production, O(2)(*-) released extracellularly by intact isolated rat and mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles was measured at 22, 32, and 37 degrees C in Krebs-Ringer solution, and tetanic force was measured in both preparations at 22 and 37 degrees C under the same conditions. The rate of O(2)(*-) production increased marginally when the temperature was increased from 22 to 32 degrees C, but increased fivefold when the temperature was increased from 22 to 37 degrees C in both rat and mouse preparations. This increase was accompanied by a marked decrease in tetanic force after 30 min incubation at 37 degrees C in both rat and mouse EDL muscles. Tetanic force remained largely depressed after return to 22 degrees C for up to 120 min. The specific maximum Ca(2+)-activated force measured in mechanically skinned fibers after the temperature treatment was markedly depressed in mouse fibers but was not significantly depressed in rat muscle fibers. The resting membrane and intracellular action potentials were, however, significantly affected by the temperature treatment in the rat fibers. The effects of the temperature treatment on tetanic force, maximum Ca(2+)-activated force, and membrane potential were largely prevented by 1 mM Tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl), a membrane-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic, indicating that the increased O(2)(*-) production at physiological temperatures is largely responsible for the observed depression in tetanic force at 37 degrees C by affecting the contractile apparatus and plasma membrane. 相似文献

Sodium-free contracture was directly dependent on the presence of Ca2+ in Tyrode sulphate solution. The first phase of contracture increased in Tyrode nitrate solution more quickly than in sulphate solution, while the second phase was the same. Higher amplitude of isotonic contractions was observed on substituting nitrates for chlorides in the Tyrode solution than in sulphate substitution. In Tyrode sulphate solution, spontaneous contractions appeared in 50% of the experiments. The relationship between the duration and tension of isotonic contraction, given the same pre-loading, showed greater diminution of the contractions, at the lower temperature (22 degrees C) than at the higher temperature (35 degrees C), whereas passive stretching of the muscle was not influenced by the temperature. Isometric contrations lasted longer at the lower temperature. The amphlitude of isometric contractions was directly correlated to the frequency of electrical stimulation at a constant temperature (22 degrees C). The results showed that shifts of the calcium participating in contraction of the rat ventricle are influenced both by the anion and cation content of the medium and by its temperature. 相似文献

In the present study, we measured fiber types and fiber diameters in canine respiratory muscles and examined regional variation within the diaphragm. Samples of eight diaphragm regions, internal intercostals, external intercostals, transversus abdominis, and triceps brachii were removed from eight adult mongrel dogs, frozen, and histochemically processed for standard fiber type and fiber diameter determinations. The respiratory muscles were composed of types I and IIa fibers; no IIb fibers were identified. Fiber composition differed between muscles (P less than 0.0001). Normal type I percent (+/- SE) were: diaphragm 46 +/- 2, external intercostal 85 +/- 6, internal intercostals 48 +/- 3, transversus abdominis 53 +/- 1, and triceps 33 +/- 7. The diaphragm also contained a type I subtype [6 +/- 1% (SE)] previously thought only to occur in developing muscle. Fiber composition varied between diaphragm regions (P less than 0.01). Most notably, left medial crus contained 64% type I fibers. Fiber size also varied systematically among muscles (P less than 0.025) and diaphragm regions (P less than 0.0005). External intercostal fiber diameter was largest (47-50 microns) and diaphragm was smallest (34 microns). Within diaphragm, crural fibers were larger than costal (P less than 0.05). We conclude that there are systematic differences in fiber composition and fiber diameter of the canine respiratory muscles. 相似文献

Stretch-shortening cycle exercises: an effective training paradigm to enhance power output of human single muscle fibers. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Functional performance of lower limb muscles and contractile properties of chemically skinned single muscle fibers were evaluated before and after 8 wk of maximal effort stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) exercise training. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis of eight men before and after the training period. Fibers were evaluated regarding their mechanical properties and subsequently classified according to their myosin heavy chain content (SDS-PAGE). After training, maximal leg extensor muscle force and vertical jump performance were improved 12% (P<0.01) and 13% (P<0.001), respectively. Single-fiber cross-sectional area increased 23% in type I (P<0.01), 22% in type IIa (P<0.001), and 30% in type IIa/IIx fibers (P<0.001). Peak force increased 19% in type I (P<0.01), 15% in type IIa (P<0.001), and 16% in type IIa/IIx fibers (P<0.001). When peak force was normalized with cross-sectional area, no changes were found for any fiber type. Maximal shortening velocity was increased 18, 29, and 22% in type I, IIa, and hybrid IIa/IIx fibers, respectively (P<0.001). Peak power was enhanced in all fiber types, and normalized peak power improved 9% in type IIa fibers (P<0.05). Fiber tension on passive stretch increased in IIa/IIx fibers only (P<0.05). In conclusion, short-term SSC exercise training enhanced single-fiber contraction performance via force and contraction velocity in type I, IIa, and IIa/IIx fibers. These results suggest that SSC exercises are an effective training approach to improve fiber force, contraction velocity, and therefore power. 相似文献

In this study maximum shortening velocity (Vmax) and isometric tension (P0) in skinned single fibers from rat slow soleus (SOL) and fast superficial vastus lateralis (SVL) muscles were examined after varying degrees of filament lattice compression with dextran. In both fiber types Vmax was greatest in the absence of dextran and decreased as the concentration of dextran was increased between 2.5 and 10 g/100 ml. At 10% dextran, which compressed fiber width by 31-38%, Vmax relative to the initial 0% dextran value was 0.28 +/- 0.03 (mean +/- SE) and 0.26 +/- 0.02 in SVL and SOL fibers, respectively. The effect of compression to depress Vmax was reversed completely by returning the fiber to 0% dextran. The force-generating capability of skinned fibers was not as sensitive to variations in cell width. In both the SOL and SVL fibers P0 increased by 3-7% when the concentration of dextran was increased from 0 to 5%. Further compression of lattice volume with 10% dextran resulted in a 8-13% decline in P0 relative to the initial value. While the precise mechanism by which filament lattice spacing modulates contractile function is not known, our results suggest that the major effect is upon the rate constant for cross-bridge detachment. 相似文献

Chemomechanical transduction was studied in single fibers isolated from human skeletal muscle containing different myosin isoforms. Permeabilized fibers were activated by laser-pulse photolytic release of 1.5 mM ATP from p(3)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethylester of ATP. The ATP hydrolysis rate in the muscle fibers was determined with a fluorescently labeled phosphate-binding protein. The effects of varying load and shortening velocity during contraction were investigated. The myosin isoform composition was determined in each fiber by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At 12 degrees C large variations (three- to fourfold) were found between slow and fast (2A and 2A-2B) fibers in their maximum shortening velocity, peak power output, velocity at which peak power is produced, isometric ATPase activity, and tension cost. Isometric tension was similar in all fiber groups. The ATP consumption rate increased during shortening in proportion to shortening velocity. At 12 degrees C the maximum efficiency was similar (0.21-0.27) for all fiber types and was reached at a higher speed of shortening for the faster fibers. In all fibers, peak efficiency increased to approximately 0.4 when the temperature was raised from 12 degrees C to 20 degrees C. The results were simulated with a kinetic scheme describing the ATPase cycle, in which the rate constant controlling ADP release is sensitive to the load on the muscle. The main difference between slow and fast fibers was reproduced by increasing the rate constant for the hydrolysis step, which was rate limiting at low loads. Simulation of the effect of increasing temperature required an increase in the force per cross-bridge and an acceleration of the rate constants in the reaction pathway. 相似文献

Striated muscle contraction is powered by actin-activated myosin ATPase. This process is regulated by Ca(2+) via the troponin complex. Slow- and fast-twitch fibers of vertebrate skeletal muscle express type I and type II myosin, respectively, and these myosin isoenzymes confer different ATPase activities, contractile velocities, and force. Skeletal muscle troponin has also diverged into fast and slow isoforms, but their functional significance is not fully understood. To investigate the expression of troponin isoforms in mammalian skeletal muscle and their functional relationship to that of the myosin isoforms, we concomitantly studied myosin, troponin T (TnT), and troponin I (TnI) isoform contents and isometric contractile properties in single fibers of rat skeletal muscle. We characterized a large number of Triton X-100-skinned single fibers from soleus, diaphragm, gastrocnemius, and extensor digitorum longus muscles and selected fibers with combinations of a single myosin isoform and a single class (slow or fast) of the TnT and TnI isoforms to investigate their role in determining contractility. Types IIa, IIx, and IIb myosin fibers produced higher isometric force than that of type I fibers. Despite the polyploidy of adult skeletal muscle fibers, the expression of fast or slow isoforms of TnT and TnI is tightly coupled. Fibers containing slow troponin had higher Ca(2+) sensitivity than that of the fast troponin fibers, whereas fibers containing fast troponin showed a higher cooperativity of Ca(2+) activation than that of the slow troponin fibers. These results demonstrate distinct but coordinated regulation of troponin and myosin isoform expression in skeletal muscle and their contribution to the contractile properties of muscle. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to determine how muscle atrophy produced by the hindlimb suspension (HS) model alters the contractile function of slow- and fast-twitch single muscle fibers. After 2 wk of HS, small bundles of fibers were isolated from the soleus and the deep and superficial regions of the lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius, respectively. The bundles were placed in skinning solution and stored at -20 degrees C until studied. Single fibers were isolated and suspended between a motor arm and force transducer, the functional properties were studied, and subsequently the fiber type was established by myosin heavy chain (MHC) analysis on 1-D sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After HS, slow-twitch fibers of the soleus showed a significant reduction in fiber diameter (68 +/- 2 vs. 41 +/- 1 micron) and peak tension (1.37 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.99 +/- 0.06 kg/cm2), whereas the maximal shortening speed (Vmax) increased [1.49 +/- 0.11 vs. 1.92 +/- 0.14 fiber lengths (FL)/s]. A histogram showed two populations of fibers: one with Vmax values identical to control slow-twitch fibers and a second with significantly elevated Vmax values. This latter group frequently contained both slow and fast MHC protein isoforms. The pCa-force relation of the soleus slow-twitch fibers was shifted to the right; consequently, the free Ca2+ required for the onset of tension and for 50% of peak tension was significantly higher after HS. Slow-twitch fibers isolated from the gastrocnemius after HS showed a significant reduction in diameter (67 +/- 4 vs. 44 +/- 3 microns) and peak tension (1.2 +/- 0.06 vs. 0.96 +/- 0.07 kg/cm2), but Vmax was unaltered (1.70 +/- 0.13 vs. 1.65 +/- 0.18 FL/s). Fast-twitch fibers from the red gastrocnemius showed a significant reduction in diameter (59 +/- 2 vs. 49 +/- 3 microns) but no change in peak tension or Vmax. Fast-twitch fibers from the white superficial region of the medial head of the gastrocnemius were unaffected by HS. Collectively, these data suggest that the effects of HS on fiber function depend on the fiber type and location. Both slow-twitch type I and fast-twitch type IIa fibers atrophied; however, only slow-twitch fibers showed a decline in peak tension, and the increase in Vmax was restricted to a subpopulation of slow-twitch soleus fibers. 相似文献
