Satellite cell proliferation was assessed inlow-frequency-stimulated hypothyroid rat fast-twitch muscle by5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling and subsequent staining oflabeled muscle nuclei, and by staining for proliferating cell nuclearantigen (PCNA). BrdU labeling and PCNA staining were highly correlatedand increased approximately fourfold at 5 days of stimulation, decayedthereafter, but remained elevated over control in 10- and 20-daystimulated muscles. Myogenin mRNA was ~4-fold elevated at 5 days and1.5-fold at 10 days. Staining for myogenin protein yielded resultssimilar to that for PCNA and BrdU. Furthermore, a detailed examination of the pattern of myogenin staining revealed that the number of myogenin-positive nuclei was elevated in the fast pure IIB fiber population at 5 and 10 days of chronic low-frequencystimulation. By 20 days, myogenin staining was observed intransforming fast fibers that coexpressed embryonic and adult myosinheavy chain isoforms. In the slower fiber populations (i.e., IIA andI), myogenin-positive transforming fibers that coexpressed embryonicmyosin heavy chain, appeared already at 5 days. Thus the satellite cellprogeny on slower fibers seemed to proliferate less and to fuse earlierto their associated fibers than the satellite cell progeny on fast fibers. We suggest that the increase in muscle nuclei of the fast fibers might be a prerequisite for fast-to-slow fiber type transitions. 相似文献

Bigard, Xavier A., Chantal Janmot, Danièle Merino,Françoise Lienhard, Yannick C. Guezennec, and Anne D'Albis.Endurance training affects myosin heavy chain phenotype inregenerating fast-twitch muscle. J. Appl.Physiol. 81(6): 2658-2665, 1996.The aim of thisstudy was to analyze the effects of treadmill training (2 h/day, 5 days/wk, 30 m/min, 7% grade for 5 wk) on the expression of myosinheavy chain (MHC) isoforms during and after regeneration of afast-twitch white muscle [extensor digitorum longus (EDL)]. Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary(n = 10) or an endurance-trained (ET;n = 10) group. EDL muscle degeneration and regeneration were induced by two subcutaneous injections of a snaketoxin. Five days after induction of muscle injury, animals were trainedover a 5-wk period. It was verified that ~40 days after venomtreatment, central nuclei were present in the treated EDL muscles fromsedentary and ET rats. The changes in the expression of MHCs in EDLmuscles were detected by using a combination of biochemical andimmunocytochemical approaches. Compared with contralateral nondegenerated muscles, relative concentrations of types I, IIa, andIIx MHC isoforms in ET rats were greater in regenerated EDL muscles(146%, P < 0.05; 76%,P < 0.01; 87%,P < 0.01, respectively). Their elevation corresponded to a decreasein the relative concentration of type IIb MHC (36%,P < 0.01). Although type I accountedfor only 3.2% of total myosin in regenerated muscles from the ETgroup, the cytochemical analysis showed that the proportion of positive staining with the slow MHC antibody was markedly greater in regenerated muscles than in contralateral ones. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the regenerated EDL muscle is sensitive to endurance training and suggest that the training-induced shift in MHC isoforms observed in these muscles resulted from an additive effect of regeneration and repeated exercise. 相似文献

Roy, Roland R., Robert J. Talmadge, Kenneth Fox, MichaelLee, Aki Ishihara, and V. Reggie Edgerton. Modulation of MHC isoforms in functionally overloaded and exercised rat plantaris fibers.J. Appl. Physiol. 83(1): 280-290, 1997.The effects of 1 and 10 wk of functional overload (FO) of therat plantaris with (FOTr) andwithout daily endurance treadmill training on its myosin heavy chain(MHC) composition were studied. After 1 and 10 wk of FO, plantaris masswas 22 and 56% greater in FO and 37 and 94% greater, respectively, inFOTr rats compared withage-matched controls. At 1 wk, pure type I and pure type IIa MHC fiberswere hypertrophied in FO (39 and 44%) andFOTr (70 and 87%) rats. By 10 wkall fiber types comprising >5% of the fibers sampled showed ahypertrophic response in both FO groups. One week of FO increased thepercentage of hybrid (containing both type I and type IIa MHC) fibersand of fibers containing embryonic MHC. By 10 wk, the percentage ofpure type I MHC fibers was ~40% in both FO groups compared with 15%in controls, and the percentage of fibers containing embryonic MHC wassimilar to that in controls. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis analyses showed an increase in type I MHC and adecrease in type IIb MHC in both FO groups at 10 wk, whereas littlechange was observed at 1 wk. These data are consistent with hypertrophyand transformation from faster to slower MHC isoforms in chronicallyoverloaded muscles. The additional overload imposed by daily endurancetreadmill training employed in this study (1.6 km/day; 10% incline)results in a larger hypertrophic response but appears to have a minimaleffect on the MHC adaptations. 相似文献

Jänkälä, Heidi, Veli-Pekka Harjola, NielsErik Petersen, and Matti Härkönen. Myosin heavy chainmRNA transform to faster isoforms in immobilized skeletal muscle: aquantitative PCR study. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(3): 977-982, 1997.A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to measure the quantities of type I, IIa, IIx, and IIb myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNAin total RNA preparations of the soleus, gastrocnemius, and plantarismuscles of normal and hindlimb-immobilized rats. Type IIx and even typeIIb MHC mRNA were demonstrated at extremely low levels in normalsoleus, 2.1 ± 0.4 × 105and 5.0 ± 0.2 × 105molecules of mRNA per microgram total RNA, respectively. Immobilization for 1 wk significantly altered the gene expression of MHC isoforms. Insoleus, both type IIx and IIb MHC genes became significantly upregulated, 24-fold (P < 0.005) and 2.6-fold (P < 0.05),respectively. In gastrocnemius, the level of type IIa MHC mRNAdecreased by 51% (P < 0.01) and thelevel of type IIx MHC mRNA increased by 140%(P < 0.05). In plantaris, the levelof type IIa MHC mRNA decreased by 58%(P < 0.005). In conclusion,immobilization changed the MHC mRNA profile in three different types ofskeletal muscle toward faster isoforms. The quantitative results permitreliable evaluation of changes in mRNA levels. 相似文献

Talmadge, Robert J., Roland R. Roy, and V. Reggie Edgerton.Distribution of myosin heavy chain isoforms in non-weight-bearing rat soleus muscle fibers. J. Appl.Physiol. 81(6): 2540-2546, 1996.The effects of14 days of spaceflight (SF) or hindlimb suspension (HS) (Cosmos 2044)on myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content of the rat soleus muscleand single muscle fibers were determined. On the basis ofelectrophoretic analyses, there was a de novo synthesis of type IIx MHCbut no change in either type I or IIa MHC isoform proportions aftereither SF or HS compared with controls. The percentage of fiberscontaining only type I MHC decreased by 26 and 23%, and the percentageof fibers with multiple MHCs increased from 6% in controls to 32% inHS and 34% in SF rats. Type IIx MHC was always found in combinationwith another MHC or combination of MHCs; i.e., no fibers contained typeIIx MHC exclusively. These data suggest that the expression of thenormal complement of MHC isoforms in the adult rat soleus muscle isdependent, in part, on normal weight bearing and that the absence ofweight bearing induces a shift toward type IIx MHC protein expression in the preexisting type I and IIa fibers of the soleus. 相似文献

To further elucidate the pattern of MHC isoform expression in skeletal muscles of large mammals, in this study the skeletal muscles of brown bear, one of the largest mammalian predators with an extraordinary locomotor capacity, were analyzed. Fiber types in longissimus dorsi, triceps brachii caput longum, and rectus femoris muscles were determined according to the myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase) histochemistry and MHC isoform expression, revealed by a set of antibodies specific to MHC isoforms. The oxidative (SDH) and glycolytic enzyme (α‐GPDH) capacity of fibers was demonstrated as well. By mATPase histochemistry five fiber types, i.e., I, IIC, IIA, IIAX, IIX were distinguished. Analyzing the MHC isoform expression, we assume that MHC‐I, ‐IIa, and ‐IIx are expressed in the muscles of adolescent bears. MHC‐I isoform was expressed in Type‐I fibers and coexpressed with presumably ‐IIa isoform, in Type‐IIC fibers. Surprisingly, two antibodies specific to rat MHC‐IIa stained those fast fibers, that were histochemically and immunohistochemically classified as Type IIX. This assumption was additionally confirmed by complete absence of fiber staining with antibody specific to rat MHC‐IIb and all fast fiber staining with antibody that according to our experience recognizes MHC‐IIa and ‐IIx of rat. Furthermore, quite high‐oxidative capacity of all fast fiber types and their weak glycolytic capacity also imply for MHC‐IIa and ‐IIx isoform expression in fast fibers of bear. However, in adult, full‐grown animal, only MHC‐I and MHC‐IIa isoforms were expressed. The expression of only two fast isoforms in bear, like in many other large mammals (humans, cat, dog, goat, cattle, and horse) obviously meets the weight‐bearing and locomotor demands of these mammals.

Although the association between hypothyroidism and obstructive sleep apnea is well established, the effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on contractile proteins in pharyngeal dilator muscles responsible for maintaining upper airway patency is unknown. In the present study, the effects of hypothyroidism on myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression were examined in the sternohyoid, geniohyoid, and genioglossus muscles of adult rats (n = 20). The relative proportions of MHC isoforms present were determined using MHC-specific monoclonal antibodies and oligonucleotide probes. All control muscles showed a paucity of type I MHC fibers, with greater than 90% of fibers containing fast-twitch type II MHCs. In the genioglossus muscle, a population of non-IIa non-IIb fast-twitch type II fibers (putatively identified as type IIx MHC fibers) were detected. Hypothyroidism induced significant changes in MHC expression in all muscles studied. In the sternohyoid, type I fibers increased from 6.2 to 16.9%, whereas type IIa fibers increased from 25.9 to 30.7%. Type I fibers in the geniohyoid increased from 1.2 to 12.8%, whereas type IIa fibers increased from 34.1 to 42.7%. The genioglossus showed the smallest relative increase in type I expression but the greatest induction of type IIa MHC. None of the muscles examined demonstrated reinduction of embryonic or neonatal MHC in response to thyroid hormone deficiency. In summary, hypothyroidism alters the MHC profile of pharyngeal dilators in a muscle-specific manner. These changes may play a role in the pathogenesis of obstructive apnea in hypothyroid patients. 相似文献

Novel transitions in MHC isoforms: separate and combined effects of thyroid hormone and mechanical unloading 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Single-fiber(n = 3,818 fibers) electrophoreticanalyses were used to delineate the separate and combined effects ofhyperthyroidism (T3) andhindlimb suspension (HS) on the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoformcomposition (1-, 2-, and 4-wk time points) of the rat soleus muscle.The key findings of this study are as follows. First,T3 and HS both altered thedistribution of MHC isoforms at the single-fiber level; however, thepopulations of fibers produced by these two interventions were clearlydifferent from one another. Second,T3 + HS rapidly converted thesoleus into a fast muscle, producing large increases in the relativecontents of the fast type IIx and IIb MHC isoforms which were primarily expressed in several populations of hybrid fibers (e.g., types I/IIa/IIx, I/IIx/IIb, I/IIa/IIx/IIb). Finally,T3 + HS produced uniquepopulations of hybrid fibers that did not adhere to the IIIaIIxIIb sequential scheme of MHC plasticity. Collectively, the findings of this study demonstrate that the intervention of T3 + HS is a powerful model formanipulating and studying MHC isoform plasticity in slow skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Stretch activation kinetics were investigated in skinned mouse skeletal muscle fibers of known myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content to assess kinetic properties of different myosin heads while generating force. The time to peak of stretch-induced delayed force increase (t3) was strongly correlated with MHC isoforms [t3 given in ms for fiber types containing specified isoforms; means ± SD with n in parentheses: MHCI 680 ± 108 (13), MHCIIa 110.5 ± 10.7 (23), MHCIIx(d) 46.2 ± 5.2 (20), MHCIIb 23.5 ± 3.3 (76)]. This strong correlation suggests different kinetics of force generation of different MHC isoforms in the following order:MHCIIb > MHCIIx(d) > MHCIIa >> MHCI. For rat, rabbit, and human skeletal muscles the same type of correlation was found previously. The kinetics decreases slightly with increasing body mass. Available amino acid sequences were aligned to quantify the structural variability of MHC isoforms of different animal species. The variation in t3 showed a correlation with the structural variability of specific actin-binding loops (so-called loop 2 and loop 3) of myosin heads (r = 0.74). This suggests that alterations of amino acids in these loops contribute to the different kinetics of myosin heads of various MHC isoforms. isoform structure-function relationship; stretch activation; muscle mechanics 相似文献

Sprint training, in vitro and in vivo muscle function, and myosin heavy chain expression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Harridge, S. D. R., R. Bottinelli, M. Canepari, M. Pellegrino, C. Reggiani, M. Esbjörnsson, P. D. Balsom, and B. Saltin. Sprint training, in vitro and in vivo muscle function, and myosin heavy chain expression. J. Appl.Physiol. 84(2): 442-449, 1998.Sprint trainingrepresents the condition in which increases in muscle shortening speed,as well as in strength, might play a significant role in improvingpower generation. This study therefore aimed to determine the effectsof sprint training on 1) thecoupling between myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform expression andfunction in single fibers, 2) thedistribution of MHC isoforms across a whole muscle, and3) in vivo muscle function. Sevenyoung male subjects completed 6 wk of training (3-s sprints) on a cycleergometer. Training was without effect on maximum shortening velocityin single fibers or in the relative distribution of MHC isoforms ineither the soleus or the vastus lateralis muscles. Electrically evokedand voluntary isometric torque generation increased(P < 0.05) after training in boththe plantar flexors (+8% at 50 Hz and +16% maximal voluntarycontraction) and knee extensors (+8% at 50 Hz and +7% maximalvoluntary contraction). With the shortening potential of the musclesapparently unchanged, the increased strength of the major lower limbmuscles is likely to have contributed to the 7% increase(P < 0.05) in peak pedal frequency during cycling. 相似文献

The effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) on the profile of sarco(endo) plasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA) and myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms in individual vastus lateralis (VL) muscle fibers were determined. Biopsies from the VL were obtained from SCI subjects 6 and 24 wk postinjury (n = 6). Biopsies from nondisabled (ND) subjects were obtained at two time points 18 wk apart (n = 4). In ND subjects, the proportions of VL fibers containing MHC I, MHC IIa, and MHC IIx were 46 +/- 3, 53 +/- 3, and 1 +/- 1%, respectively. Most MHC I fibers contained SERCA2. Most MHC IIa fibers contained SERCA1. All MHC IIx fibers contained SERCA1 exclusively. SCI resulted in significant increases in fibers with MHC IIx (14 +/- 4% at 6 wk and 16 +/- 2% at 24 wk). In addition, SCI resulted in high proportions of MHC I and MHC IIa fibers with both SERCA isoforms (29% at 6 wk and 54% at 24 wk for MHC I fibers and 16% at 6 wk and 38% at 24 wk for MHC IIa fibers). Thus high proportions of VL fibers were mismatched for SERCA and MHC isoforms after SCI (19 +/- 3% at 6 wk and 36 +/- 9% at 24 wk) compared with only ~5% in ND subjects. These data suggest that, in the early time period following SCI, fast fiber isoforms of both SERCA and MHC are elevated disproportionately, resulting in fibers that are mismatched for SERCA and MHC isoforms. Thus the adaptations in SERCA and MHC isoforms appear to occur independently. 相似文献

Contractile function of single muscle fibers after hindlimb unweighting in aged rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thompson, L. V., and J. A. Shoeman. Contractilefunction of single muscle fibers after hindlimb unweighting in aged rats. J. Appl. Physiol. 84(1):229-235, 1998.This investigation determined how muscle atrophyproduced by hindlimb unweighting (HU) alters the contractile functionof single muscle fibers from older animals (30 mo). After 1 wk of HU,small bundles of fibers were isolated from the soleus muscles and thedeep region of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscles. Singleglycerinated fibers were suspended between a motor lever and forcetransducer, functional properties were studied, and the myosin heavychain (MHC) composition was determined electrophoretically. After HU, the diameter of type I MHC fibers of the soleus declined (88 ± 2 vs. 80 ± 4 µm) and reductions were observed in peak active force (47 ± 3 vs. 28 ± 3 mg) and peak specific tension(Po; 80 ± 5 vs. 56 ± 5 kN/m2). The maximal unloadedshortening velocity increased. The type I MHC fibers from thegastrocnemius showed reductions in diameter (14%), peak active force(41%), and Po (24%), whereas thetype IIa MHC fibers showed reductions in peak active force andPo. Thus 1 wk ofinactivity has a significant effect on the force-generating capacity ofsingle skeletal muscle fibers from older animals in a fibertype-specific manner (type I MHC > type IIa MHC > type I-IIa MHC).The decline in the functional properties of single skeletal musclefibers in the older animals appears to be more pronounced than what hasbeen reported in younger animal populations. 相似文献

Caiozzo, Vincent J., Michael J. Baker, and Kenneth M. Baldwin. Modulation of myosin isoform expression by mechanical loading: role of stimulation frequency. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(1): 211-218, 1997.This study testedthe hypothesis that mechanical loading, not stimulation frequency perse, plays a key role in determining the plasticity of myosin heavychain (MHC) protein isoform expression in muscle undergoing resistancetraining. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned toresistance-training programs that employed active1) shortening(n = 7) or2) lengthening contractions(n = 8). The medial gastrocnemius (MG)muscles in each group trained under loading conditions thatapproximated 90-95% of maximum isometric tetanictension but were stimulated at frequencies of 100 and~25 Hz, respectively. Lengthening and shortening contractions wereproduced by using a Cambridge ergometer system. The MG muscles trainedevery other day, performing a total of 16 training sessions. Bothtraining programs produced significant (P < 0.01) and similar reductions inthe fast type IIB MHC protein isoform in the white MG muscle, reducingits relative content to ~50% of the total MHC protein isoform pool.These changes were accompanied by increases in the relative content ofthe fast type IIX MHC protein isoform that were of similar magnitudefor both groups. The results of this study clearly demonstrate thatstimulation frequency does not play a key role in modulating MHCisoform alterations that result from high-resistance training. 相似文献

The aim of this project was to develop a method to assess fiber type specific protein content across the continuum of human skeletal muscle fibers. Individual vastus lateralis muscle fibers (n = 264) were clipped into two portions: one for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) fiber typing and one for Western blot protein identification. Following fiber type determination, fiber segments were combined into fiber type specific pools (~20 fibers/pool) and measured for total protein quantity, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), citrate synthase (CS), and total p38 content. GAPDH content was 64, 54, 160, and 138% more abundant in myosin heavy chain (MHC) I/IIa, MHC IIa, MHC IIa/IIx, and MHC IIx fibers, respectively, when compared with MHC I. Inversely, CS content was 528, 472, 242, and 47% more abundant in MHC I, MHC I/IIa, MHC IIa, and MHC IIa/IIx fibers, respectively, when compared with MHC IIx. Total p38 content was 87% greater in MHC IIa versus MHC I fibers. These data and this approach establish a reliable method for human skeletal muscle fiber type specific protein analysis. Initial results show that particular proteins exist in a hierarchal fashion throughout the continuum of human skeletal muscle fiber types, further highlighting the necessity of fiber type specific analysis. 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

Adult skeletal muscle undergoes adaptation in response to endurance exercise, including fast-to-slow fiber type transformation and enhanced angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal and spatial changes in fiber type composition and capillary density in a mouse model of endurance training. Long-term voluntary running (4 wk) in C57BL/6 mice resulted in an approximately twofold increase in capillary density and capillary-to-fiber ratio in plantaris muscle as measured by indirect immunofluorescence with an antibody against the endothelial cell marker CD31 (466 ± 16 capillaries/mm2 and 0.95 ± 0.04 capillaries/fiber in sedentary control mice vs. 909 ± 55 capillaries/mm2 and 1.70 ± 0.04 capillaries/fiber in trained mice, respectively; P < 0.001). A significant increase in capillary-to-fiber ratio was present at day 7 with increased concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the muscle, before a significant increase in percentage of type IIa myofibers, suggesting that exercise-induced angiogenesis occurs first, followed by fiber type transformation. Further analysis with simultaneous staining of endothelial cells and isoforms of myosin heavy chains (MHCs) showed that the increase in capillary contact manifested transiently in type IIb + IId/x fibers at the time (day 7) of significant increase in total capillary density. These findings suggest that endurance training induces angiogenesis in a subpopulation of type IIb + IId/x fibers before switching to type IIa fibers. adaptation; capillary density; endothelial cells; fiber type transformation; vascular endothelial growth factor 相似文献

Induction of neuronal type nitric oxide synthase in skeletal muscle by chronic electrical stimulation in vivo 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Reiser, Peter J., William O. Kline, and Pal L. Vaghy.Induction of neuronal type nitric oxide synthase in skeletal muscle by chronic electrical stimulation in vivo. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(4): 1250-1255, 1997.Fast-twitch skeletal muscles contain more neuronal-type nitricoxide synthase (nNOS) than slow-twitch muscles because nNOS is presentonly in fast (type II) muscle fibers. Chronic in vivo electricalstimulation of tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus musclesof rabbits was used as a method of inducing fast-to-slow fiber typetransformation. We have studied whether an increase in musclecontractile activity induced by electrical stimulation alters nNOSexpression, and if so, whether the nNOS expression decreases to thelevels present in slow muscles. Changes in the expression of myosinheavy chain isoforms and maximum velocity of shortening of skinnedfibers indicated characteristic fast-to-slow fiber type transformationafter 3 wk of stimulation. At the same time, activity of NOS doubled inthe stimulated muscles, and this correlated with an increase in theexpression of nNOS shown by immunoblot analysis. These data suggestthat nNOS expression in skeletal muscle is regulated by muscle activityand that this regulation does not necessarily follow the fast-twitchand slow-twitch pattern during the dynamic phase of phenotypetransformation. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) isoforms following 12 wk of progressive resistance training (PRT). A needle biopsy was taken from the vastus lateralis to determine fiber-type expression [ATPase (pH 4.54) and MHC/MLC] in seven healthy men (age = 74.0 +/- 1.8 yr). Subjects were also tested for 1-repetition maximum (1-RM), pre- and posttraining. The progressive knee extensor protocol consisted of three sets at 80% of 1-RM 3 days/wk for 12 wk. Freeze-dried, single muscle fibers were dissected for MHC and MLC analysis and then subjected to SDS-PAGE and silver staining, pre- and posttraining. MHC expression increased in the I (10.4%; P < 0.05) and decreased in I/IIa (9.0%; P < 0.05), I/IIa/x (0.9%; P < 0.05), and IIa/x (8.9%; P < 0.05) isoforms, with no change in the IIa and IIx isoforms, pre- vs. posttraining (total fibers = 3,059). The MLC(3f)-to-MLC(2) ratio did not change with the PRT in either the MHC I or MHC IIa isoforms (total fibers = 902), pre- to posttraining. ATPase fiber distribution did not significantly differ following training (I: 50. 4 +/- 6.7 vs. 51.9 +/- 7.9, IIa: 36.8 +/- 5.3 vs. 41.1 +/- 7.0, IIb: 12.8 +/- 5.6 vs. 7.0 +/- 4.0%; pre- vs. posttraining, respectively). 1-RM increased (51.9%; P < 0.05) from pre- to posttraining. The PRT provide a stimulus for alterations in MHC isoforms, which demonstrated a decrease in all hybrid isoforms and an increase in MHC I expression (not found in the ATPase results), unlike the MLC ratio (3:2), which was not altered with training. 相似文献

Little is known regarding the role of androgenic hormones in the maintenance of myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition of rodent masticatory muscles. Because the masseter is the principal jaw closer in rodents, we felt it was important to characterize the influence of androgenic hormones on the MHC composition of the masseter. To determine the extent of sexual dimorphism in the phenotype of masseter muscle fibers of adult (10-mo-old) C57 mice, we stained tissue sections with antibodies specific to type IIa and IIb MHC isoforms. Females contain twice as many fibers containing the IIa MHC as males, and males contain twice as many fibers containing the IIb MHC as females. There is a modest amount of regionalization of MHC phenotypes in the mouse masseter. The rostral portions of the masseter are composed mostly of type IIa fibers, whereas the midsuperficial and caudal regions contain mostly type IIb fibers. Using immunoblots, we showed that castration results in an increase in the expression of type IIa MHC fibers in males. Ovariectomy has no effect on the fiber type composition in females. We conclude that testosterone plays a role in the maintenance of MHC expression in the adult male mouse masseter. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences in single-fiber contractile physiology of fibers with the same myosin heavy chain isoform (MHC I and MHC IIa) originating from different muscles. Vastus lateralis (VL) and soleus biopsies were obtained from 27 recreationally active females (31 +/- 1 yr, 59 +/- 1 kg). A total of 943 single fibers (MHC I = 562; MHC IIa = 301) were isolated and examined for diameter, peak tension (Po), shortening velocity (Vo), and power. The soleus had larger (P < 0.05) fibers (MHC I +18%; MHC IIa +19%), higher MHC I Vo (+13%), and higher MHC I Po (+18%) compared with fibers from the VL. In contrast, fibers from the VL had higher (P < 0.05) specific tension (MHC I +18%; MHC IIa +20%), and MHC I normalized power (+25%) compared with the soleus. There was a trend for MHC IIa soleus fibers to have higher Vo [MHC IIa +13% (P = 0.058)], whereas VL MHC IIa fibers showed a trend for higher normalized power compared with soleus fibers [MHC IIa +33% (P = 0.079)]. No differences in absolute power were detected between muscles. These data highlight muscle-specific differences in single-fiber contractile function that should serve as a scientific basis for consideration when extending observations of skeletal muscle tissue from one muscle of interest to other muscles of origin. This is important when examining skeletal muscle adaptation to physical states such as aging, unloading, and training. 相似文献
