The purpose ofthis study was to evaluate the effect of endurance exercise training onboth locomotor skeletal muscle collagen characteristics and passivestiffness properties in the young adult and old rat. Young(3-mo-old) and senescent (23-mo-old) male Fischer 344 rats wererandomly assigned to either a control or exercise training group[young control (YC), old control (OC), young trained (YT), oldtrained (OT)]. Exercise training consisted of treadmill runningat ~70% of maximal oxygen consumption (45 min/day, 5 days/wk, for 10 wk). Passive stiffness (stress/strain) of the soleus (Sol) muscle fromall four groups was subsequently measured in vitro at 26°C.Stiffness was significantly greater for Sol muscles in OC rats comparedwith YC rats, but in OT rats exercise training resulted in muscles withstiffness characteristics not different from those in YC rats. Solmuscle collagen concentration and the level of the nonreduciblecollagen cross-link hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP) significantlyincreased from young adulthood to senescence. Although training had noeffect on Sol muscle collagen concentration in either age group, itresulted in a significant reduction in the level of Sol muscle HP in OTrats. In contrast, exercise had no effect on HP in the YT animals.These findings indicate that 10 wk of endurance exercise significantlyalter the passive viscoelastic properties of Sol muscle in old but notin young adult rats. The coincidental reduction in the principalcollagen cross-link HP also observed in response to training in OTmuscle highlights the potential role of collagen in influencing passivemuscle viscoelastic properties. 相似文献

Endurance training attenuates the decrease in skeletal muscle malonyl-CoA with exercise 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hutber, C. Adrian, B. B. Rasmussen, and W. W. Winder.Endurance training attenuates the decrease in skeletal muscle malonyl-CoA with exercise. J. Appl.Physiol. 83(6): 1917-1922, 1997.Musclemalonyl-CoA has been postulated to regulate fatty acid metabolism byinhibiting carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1. In nontrained rats,malonyl-CoA decreases in working muscle during exercise. Endurancetraining is known to increase a muscle's reliance on fatty acids as asubstrate. This study was designed to investigate whether the declinein malonyl-CoA with exercise would be greater in trained than innontrained muscle, thereby allowing increased fatty acid oxidation.After 6-10 wk of endurance training (2 h/day) or treadmillhabituation (5-10 min/day), rats were killed at rest or afterrunning up a 15% grade at 21 m/min for 5, 20, or 60 min. Trainingattenuated the exercise-induced drop in malonyl-CoA and prevented theexercise-induced increase in the constant for citrate activation ofacetyl-CoA carboxylase in the red quadriceps muscle of rats run for 20 and 60 min. Hence, contrary to expectations, the decrease inmalonyl-CoA was less in trained than in nontrained muscle during asingle bout of prolonged submaximal exercise. 相似文献

Lead impacts neuromuscular junction and might induce skeletal muscle weakness. Antioxidants may prevent toxic actions of lead on muscle. In this study, resting membrane potentials, endplate potentials, miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) and isometric twitch tensions were recorded to investigate effects of α-tocopherol (Vitamin E) on lead induced changes at murine dorsiflexor muscle. Moreover, levels of endplate nicotinic receptors were measured by receptor autoradiography. Forty rats were divided into four groups (lead alone, α-tocopherol, lead plus α-tocopherol and saline). Lead (1?mg/kg, i.p.), was administered daily for 2 weeks and α-tocopherol (100?mg/kg, i.p.) was given daily for 3 weeks. Lead treatment significantly reduced twitch tension (from 4.4±0.4 to 2.2±0.3?g) and delayed half time of decay. MEPP frequencies and quantal content were also significantly reduced after lead treatment. Pretreatment with α-tocopherol reversed twitch tension reduction (4.1±0.3?g) and modified lead induced delay in half time of decay. Similarly, α-tocopherol modified the negative actions of lead exposure on MEPP frequencies and quantal content. Receptor autoradiographic studies revealed significant increase of nicotinic receptor levels at the endplate region of flexor muscle in lead treated mice. However, animals treated with lead plus α-tocopherol showed significantly decreased levels of nicotinic receptors. α-Tocopherol appears to protect against lead induced neuromuscular dysfunction. These effects of α-tocopherol are possibly mediated via a free radical mechanism or modification of calcium homeostasis. 相似文献

Oostenbrug, G. S., R. P. Mensink, M. R. Hardeman, T. DeVries, F. Brouns, and G. Hornstra. Exercise performance, red bloodcell deformability, and lipid peroxidation: effects of fish oil andvitamin E. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(3):746-752, 1997.Previous studies have indicated that fish oilsupplementation increases red blood cell (RBC) deformability, which mayimprove exercise performance. Exercise alone, or in combination with anincrease in fatty acid unsaturation, however, may enhance lipidperoxidation. Effects of a bicycle time trial of ~1 h on RBCcharacteristics and lipid peroxidation were, therefore, studied in 24 trained cyclists. After 3 wk of fish oil supplementation (6 g/day),without or with vitamin E (300 IU/day), trial performance,RBC characteristics, and lipid peroxidation were measuredagain. RBC deformability appeared to decrease duringendurance exercise. After correction for hemoconcentration, plasmatotal tocopherol concentrations decreased by 0.77 µmol/l(P = 0.012) or 2.9% and carotenoidconcentrations by 0.08 µmol/l (P = 0.0008) or 4.5%. Endurance exercise did not affect the lag time andrate of in vitro oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), but themaximum amount of conjugated dienes formed decreased by 2.1 ± 1.0 µmol/mmol LDL cholesterol (P = 0.042) or 1.2%. Fish oil supplementation with andwithout vitamin E did not affect RBC characteristics or exerciseperformance. Both supplements decreased the rate of LDL oxidation, andfish oil supplementation with vitamin E delayed oxidation. The amountof dienes, however, was not affected. The supplements also did notchange effects of exercise. We conclude that the changes observedduring endurance exercise may indicate increased oxidative stress, butfurther research is necessary to confirm this. Fish oil supplementation does not improve endurance performance, but it also does not cause oraugment changes in antioxidant levels or LDL oxidation during exercise. 相似文献

Davis, J. M., M. L. Kohut, L. H. Colbert, D. A. Jackson, A. Ghaffar, and E. P. Mayer. Exercise, alveolarmacrophage function, and susceptibility to respiratory infection.J. Appl. Physiol. 83(5):1461-1466, 1997.The effects of exercise on susceptibility torespiratory infection were determined by using a murine model ofintranasal challenge with herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1). Twodoses of treadmill exercise were assessed: moderate short-term (30 min)exercise and prolonged strenuous exercise to voluntary fatigue(2.5-3.5 h). Morbidity and mortality among exercised and controlmice were compared after intranasal challenge with HSV-1. We alsoassessed the ability of alveolar macrophages to restrict HSV-1 viralreplication (intrinsic resistance) among exercise and control groups ofmice at several time points postexercise. Exercise to fatigue followedby exposure to viral infection resulted in greater morbidity andmortality than either no exercise or short-term moderate exercise. Inaddition, antiviral resistance of macrophages obtained from the lungsof both exercised groups was suppressed, albeit for a longer durationin the fatigued group. These data are particularly important in thatthey identify an exercise-induced decrease in antiviral resistance of aspecific component of the immune system within the lungs, inconjunction with increased susceptibility to respiratory infection invivo. The specific mechanism of decreased antiviral resistance ofalveolar macrophages and its role in respiratory infection afterexercise remains to be determined. 相似文献

The role of pannexin 1 in the purinergic regulation of synaptic transmission in mouse motor synapses

The role of pannexin 1 in the release to the extracellular space of ATP/adenosine modulating the acetylcholine (ACh) secretion was studied in mouse diaphragm motor synapses. Using neuromuscular preparations obtained from wild-type and pannexin-1 knockout mice, the miniature endplate potential (MEPPs) and evoked endplate potentials (EPPs) were recorded in combination with pharmacological modulation of P2-type ATP receptors and A1-type adenosine receptors. Selective inhibition of A1 receptors with DPCPX or P2 receptors with PPADS increased quantal content of EPPs in wild-type mice. MRS 2211, selective antagonist of P2Y13 receptors, produced the same effect. Activation of receptors A1 or P2Y13 by their agonists (2-CADO and IDP, respectively) decreased the EPP quantal content. It means that the activity of endogenous ATP and adenosine is synergistic and directed to depression of the ACh release. ARL67156, an inhibitor of synaptic ecto-ATPases, which blocks the hydrolysis of ATP to adenosine and increases the level of ATP in the synaptic cleft, prolonged EPPs without changing their quantal content. In pannexin-1 knockout mice there were no changes in the EPP quantal content and in other parameters of synaptic transmission as compared to wildtype mice. However, downregulation of purinergic effects with antagonists of A1 or P2 receptors (DPCPX, PPADS, MRS 2211) did not change EPP quantal content and any other parameters of spontaneous or evoked ACh release in all cases. ARL67156 did not alter the temporal parameters of EPPs, either. Nevertheless, 2-CADO, the A1-type receptor agonist, decreased the EPP quantal content, while the agonist of P2Y13 receptors decreased the MEPP amplitude. Thus, in mice lacking pannexin 1, procedures revealing the presence and regulatory activity of synaptic ATP/adenosine did not change the parameters of synaptic transmission. The obtained data substantiate a mandatory role of pannexin 1 in the purinergic regulation of motor synapse activity by endogenous ATP/adenosine. 相似文献

The effect of 24 hrs. water deprivation on spontaneous and evoked transmitter release was studied at flexor nerve terminals of control and lead-treated male C57BL mice. Miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) and endplate potentials (EPPs) were recorded intracellularly from urethane-anesthetized (2 mg/g, i.p.) control and lead exposed mice in both hydrated and dehydrated conditions. Exposure to lead was made by i.p. injection of lead acetate (1.0 mg/kg) dissolved in a 5% glucose solution 24 hrs. prior to the experiment. Unimodal and bimodal MEPP frequencies decreased with dehydration, while small mode MEPPs remained unchanged and large mode MEPPs increased in frequency. EPP amplitude and quantal content were unchanged by dehydration. Lead treatment by itself reduced the frequency of unimodal and bimodal MEPPs but had no effect on the amplitude of EPPs or of quantal content. However a combination of dehydration and acute lead treatment reduced the frequency of unimodal, bimodal and large mode MEPPs and significantly reduced both EPP amplitude and quantal content. Dehydration apparently reveals an underlying neurotoxic action of lead at the neuromuscular junction. This raises a health concern that people subjected to both lead pollution and dehydration are at greater risk to lead poisoning of the neuromuscular junction. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of exercise training in regulating inflammatory processes, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis in hypothalamic neurons of obese mice. Swiss mice were distributed into three groups: Lean mice (Lean), sedentary animals fed a standard diet; obese mice (Obese), sedentary animals fed a high-fat diet (HFD); trained obese mice (T. Obese), animals fed with HFD and concurrently subjected to an endurance training protocol for 8 weeks. In the endurance training protocol, mice ran on a treadmill at 60% of peak workload for 1 hr, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last exercise session, the euthanasia was performed. Western blot, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and terminal deoxynucleotide transferase biotin-dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) techniques were used for the analysis of interest. The results show exercise training increased phosphorylation of leptin signaling pathway proteins (pJAK2/pSTAT3) and reduced the content of tumor necrosis factor α, toll-like receptor 4, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, protein–tyrosine phosphatase 1B as well as the phosphorylation of IkB kinase in the hypothalamus of T. Obese animals. A reduction of macrophage activation and phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α, and protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) were also observed in exercised animals. Furthermore, exercise decreased the expression of the proapoptotic protein (PARP1) and increased anti-inflammatory (IL-10) and antiapoptotic (Bcl2) proteins. Using the TUNEL technique, we observed that the exercised animals had lower DNA fragmentation. Finally, physical exercise preserved pro-opiomelanocortin messenger RNA content. In conclusion, exercise training was able to reorganize the control of the energy balance through anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic responses in hypothalamic tissue of obese mice. 相似文献

Miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) were recorded from frog sartorious neuromuscular junctions under conditions of reduced quantal contents to study the effect of repetitive nerve stimulation on asynchronous (tonic) quantal transmitter release. MEPP frequency increased during repetitive stimulation and then decayed back to the control level after the conditioning trains. The decay of the increased MEPP frequency after 100-to 200-impulse conditioning trains can be described by four components that decayed exponentially with time constants of about 50 ms, 500 ms, 7 s, and 80 s. These time constants are similar to those for the decay of stimulation-induced changes in synchronous (phasic) transmitter release, as measured by endplate potential (EPP) amplitudes, corresponding, respectively, to the first and second components of facilitation, augmentation, and potentiation. The addition of small amounts of Ca2+ or Ba2+ to the Ca2+-containing bathing solution, or the replacement of Ca2+ with Sr2+, led to a greater increase in the stimulation-induced increases in MEPP frequency. The Sr-induced increase in MEPP frequency was associated with an increase in the second component of facilitation of MEPP frequency; the Ba-induced increase with an increase in augmentation. These effects of Sr2+ and Ba2+ on stimulation-induced changes in MEPP frequency are similar to the effects of these ions on stimulation- induced changes in EPP amplitude. These ionic similarities and the similar kinetics of decay suggest that stimulation induced changes in MEPP frequency and EPP amplitude have some similar underlying mechanisms. Calculations are presented which show that a fourth power residual calcium model for stimulation-induced changes in transmitter release cannot readily account for the observation that stimulation- induced changes in MEPP frequency and EPP amplitude have similar time- courses. 相似文献

AimsEndurance exercise causes fatigue due to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. In order to find an effective strategy to prevent fatigue or enhance recovery, the effects of a combination of mitochondrial targeting nutrients on physical activity, mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in exercised rats were studied.Main methodsRats were subjected to a four-week endurance exercise regimen following four weeks of training. The effects of exercise and nutrient treatment in rat liver were investigated by assaying oxidative stress biomarkers and activities of mitochondrial complexes.Key findingsEndurance exercise induced an increase in activities of complexes I, IV, and V and an increase in glutathione (GSH) levels in liver mitochondria; however, levels of ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of complexes II and III remained unchanged. Exercise also induced a significant increase in MDA and activities of glutathione S-transferase and NADPH-quinone-oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1) in the liver homogenate. Nutrient treatment caused amelioration of complex V and NQO-1 activities and enhancement of activities of complex I and IV, but had no effect on other parameters.SignificanceThese results show that endurance exercise can cause oxidative and mitochondrial stress in liver and that nutrient treatment can either ameliorate or enhance this effect, suggesting that endurance exercise-induced oxidative and mitochondrial stress may be either damaging by causing injury or beneficial by activating defense systems. 相似文献

Nakatani, Akira, Dong-Ho Han, Polly A. Hansen, Lorraine A. Nolte, Helen H. Host, Robert C. Hickner, and John O. Holloszy. Effect of endurance exercise training on muscle glycogensupercompensation in rats. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(2): 711-715, 1997.The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the rate and extent ofglycogen supercompensation in skeletal muscle are increased byendurance exercise training. Rats were trained by using a 5-wk-long swimming program in which the duration of swimming was gradually increased to 6 h/day over 3 wk and then maintained at 6 h/day for anadditional 2 wk. Glycogen repletion was measured in trained anduntrained rats after a glycogen-depleting bout of exercise. The ratswere given a rodent chow diet plus 5% sucrose in their drinking waterad libitum during the recovery period. There were remarkabledifferences in both the rates of glycogen accumulation and the glycogenconcentrations attained in the two groups. The concentration ofglycogen in epitrochlearis muscle averaged 13.1 ± 0.9 mg/g wet wtin the untrained group and 31.7 ± 2.7 mg/g in the trained group(P < 0.001) 24 h after the exercise.This difference could not be explained by a training effect on glycogensynthase. The training induced ~50% increases in muscle GLUT-4glucose transporter protein and in hexokinase activity inepitrochlearis muscles. We conclude that endurance exercise trainingresults in increases in both the rate and magnitude of muscle glycogensupercompensation in rats. 相似文献

Butyrylcholinesterase and the control of synaptic responses in acetylcholinesterase knockout mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) can hydrolyze acetylcholine (ACh). Released ACh quanta are known to diffuse rapidly across the narrow synaptic cleft and pairs of ACh molecules cooperate to open endplate channels. During their diffusion through the cleft, or after being released from muscle nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs), most ACh molecules are hydrolyzed by AChE highly concentrated at the NMJ. Advances in mouse genomics offered new approaches to assess the role of specific cholinesterases involved in synaptic transmission. AChE knockout mice (AChE-KO) provide a valuable tool for examining the complete abolition of AChE activity and the role of BChE. AChE-KO mice live to adulthood, and exhibit an increased sensitivity to BChE inhibitors, suggesting that BChE activity facilitated their survival and compensated for AChE function. Our results show that BChE is present at the endplate region of wild-type and AChE-KO mature muscles. The decay time constant of focally recorded miniature endplate currents was 1.04 +/- 0.06 ms in wild-type junctions and 5.4 ms +/- 0.3 ms in AChE-KO junctions, and remained unaffected by BChE-specific inhibitors, indicating that BChE is not limiting ACh duration on endplate nAChRs. Inhibition of BChE decreased evoked quantal ACh release in AChE-KO NMJs. This reduction in ACh release can explain the greatest sensitivity of AChE-KO mice to BChE inhibitors. BChE is known to be localized in perisynaptic Schwann cells, and our results strongly suggest that BChE's role at the NMJ is to protect nerve terminals from an excess of ACh. 相似文献

In a frog neuromuscular preparation of m. sartorius, glutamate had a reversible dose-dependent inhibitory effect on both spontaneous miniature endplate potentials (MEPP) and nerve stimulation-evoked endplate potentials (EPP). The effect of glutamate on MEPP and EPP is caused by the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors, as it was eliminated by MCPG, an inhibitor of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. The depression of evoked EPP, but not MEPP frequency was removed by inhibiting the NO production in the muscle by L-NAME and by ODQ that inhibits the soluble NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase. The glutamate-induced depression of the frequency of spontaneous MEPP is apparently not caused by the stimulation of the NO cascade. The particular glutamate-stimulated NO cascade affecting the evoked EPP can be down-regulated also by adenosine receptors, as the glutamate and adenosine actions are not additive and application of adenosine partially prevents the further decrease of quantal content by glutamate. On the other hand, there is no obvious interaction between the glutamate-mediated inhibition of EPP and inhibitory pathways triggered by carbacholine and ATP. The effect of glutamate on the evoked EPP release might be due to NO-mediated modulation (phosphorylation) of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels at the presynaptic release zone that are necessary for evoked quantal release and open during EPP production. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise could prevent the age-related decline in mitogenesis, which has been well documented in rats, mice, and humans. At 1, 6, 12, and 18 mo of age, male Fischer F344 rats were subjected daily to swimming exercise for 6 mo. At the end of the 6-mo training period, spleen lymphocytes were isolated from the exercised rats and from age-matched sedentary controls. The induction of lymphocyte proliferation was measured with the mitogens concanavalin A (ConA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In addition, the ability of the lymphocytes to produce interleukin 2 (IL 2) in response to ConA induction was measured. ConA- and LPS-induced proliferation decreased 41-63% between 7 and 25 mo of age in both exercised and sedentary control rats. ConA-induced IL 2 production decreased 42 and 62% between 7 and 25 mo of age for exercised and sedentary control rats, respectively. Although the age-related decline in mitogen-induced proliferation and IL 2 production was smaller in exercised rats, this was due to a lower level of mitogenesis and IL 2 production in lymphocytes from young exercised rats. Exercise resulted in a significant decrease (23-32%) in mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production in 7-mo-old exercised rats compared with 7-mo-old sedentary rats. However, in the 18- and 24-mo-old rats, mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation and IL 2 production was not significantly different between exercised and sedentary control rats. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to investigate whether chronic endurance exercise attenuates the neuroinflammation in the brain of mice with NSE/htau23. In this study, the tau-transgenic (Tg) mouse, Tg-NSE/htau23, which over expresses human Tau23 in its brain, was subjected to chronic exercise for 3 months, from 16 months of age. The brains of Tg mice exhibited increased immunoreactivity and active morphological changes in GFAP (astrocyte marker) and MAC-1 (microglia marker) expression in an age-dependent manner. To identify the effects of chronic exercise on gliosis, the exercised Tg mice groups were treadmill run at a speed of 12 m/min (intermediate exercise group) or 19 m/min (high exercise group) for 1 h/day and 5 days/week during the 3 month period. The neuroinflammatory response characterized by activated astroglia and microglia was significantly repressed in the exercised Tg mice in an exercise intensity-dependent manner. In parallel, chronic exercise in Tg mice reduced the increased expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, COX-2, and iNOS. Consistently with these changes, the levels of phospho-p38 and phospho-ERK were markedly downregulated in the brain of Tg mice after exercise. In addition, nuclear NF-κB activity was profoundly reduced after chronic exercise in an exercise intensity-dependent manner. These findings suggest that chronic endurance exercise may alleviate neuroinflammation in the Tau pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. 相似文献

Pérusse, Louis, Gregory Collier, Jacques Gagnon,Arthur S. Leon, D. C. Rao, James S. Skinner, Jack H. Wilmore,André Nadeau, Paul Z. Zimmet, and Claude Bouchard. Acute andchronic effects of exercise on leptin levels in humans.J. Appl. Physiol. 83(1): 5-10, 1997.The acute (single bout of exercise) and chronic (exercisetraining) effects of exercise on plasma leptin were investigated in 97 sedentary adult men (n = 51) and women(n = 46) participating in the HERITAGEFamily Study. Exercise training consisted of a standardized 20-wkendurance training program performed in the laboratory on acomputer-controlled cycle ergometer. Maximal oxygen uptake, bodycomposition assessed by hydrostatic weighing, and fasting insulin levelwere also measured before and after training. Pre- and posttrainingblood samples were obtained before and after completion of a maximalexercise test on the cycle ergometer. Exercise training resulted insignificant changes in maximal oxygen uptake (increase in both genders)and body compostion (reduction of fat mass in men and increase infat-free mass in women). There were considerable interindividualdifferences in the leptin response to acute and chronic effects ofexercise, some individuals showing either increase or reduction inleptin, others showing almost no change. On average, leptin levels werenot acutely affected by exercise. After endurance training wascompleted, leptin levels decreased significantly in men (from 4.6 to3.9 ng/ml; P = 0.004) but not inwomen. However, after the training-induced changes in body fat masswere accounted for, the effects of exercise training were no longersignificant. Most of the variation observed in leptin levels afteracute exercise or endurance training appears to be within theconfidence intervals of the leptin assay. We conclude that there are nomeaningful acute or chronic effects of exercise, independent of theamount of body fat, on leptin levels in humans. 相似文献

Changes in parameters of spontaneous acetylcholine (ACh) quantal secretion caused by prolonged high-frequency burst activity of neuromuscular junctions and possible involvement of endogenous calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its receptors in these changes were studied. With this purpose, miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) were recorded using standard microelectrode technique in isolated neuromuscular preparations of m. EDL–n. peroneus after a prolonged high-frequency nerve stimulation (30 Hz for 2 min). An increase in the MEPP amplitudes and time course was observed in the postactivation period that reached maximum 20–30 min after nerve stimulation and progressively faded in the following 30 min of recording. Inhibition of vesicular ACh transporter with vesamicol (1 μM) fully prevented this “wave” of the MEPP enhancement. This indicates the presynaptic origin of the MEPP amplitude increase, possibly mediated via intensification of synaptic vesicle loading with ACh and subsequent increase of the quantal size. Competitive antagonist of the CGRP receptor, truncated peptide isoform CGRP8–37 (1 μM), had no effect on spontaneous secretion parameters by itself but was able to prevent the appearance of enhanced MEPPs in the postactivation period. This suggests the involvement of endogenous CGRP and its receptors in the observed MEPP enhancement after an intensive nerve stimulation. Ryanodine in high concentration (1 μM) that blocks ryanodine receptors and stored calcium release did not influence spontaneous ACh secretion but prevented the increase of the MEPP parameters in the postactivation period. Altogether, the data indicate that an intensive nerve stimulation, which activates neuromuscular junctions and muscle contractions, leads to a release of endogenous CGRP into synaptic cleft and this release strongly depends on the efflux of stored calcium. The released endogenous CGRP is able to exert an acute presynaptic effect on nerve terminals, which involves its specific receptor action and intracellular cascades leading to intensification of ACh loading into synaptic vesicles and an increase in the ACh quantal size. 相似文献

Structural alterations at the neuromuscular junctions of matrix metalloproteinase 3 null mutant mice
Matrix metalloproteinases are important regulators of extracellular matrix molecules and cell-cell signaling. Antibodies to matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) recognize molecules at the frog neuromuscular junction, and MMP3 can remove agrin from synaptic basal lamina (VanSaun & Werle, 2000). To gain insight into the possible roles of MMP3 at the neuromuscular junction, detailed observations were made on the structure and function of the neuromuscular junctions in MMP3 null mutant mice. Striking differences were found in the appearance of the postsynaptic apparatus of MMP3 null mutant mice. Endplates had an increased volume of AChR stained regions within the endplate structure, leaving only small regions devoid of AChRs. Individual postsynaptic gutters were wider, containing prominent lines that represent the AChRs concentrated at the tops of the junctional folds. Electron microscopy revealed a dramatic increase in the number and size of the junctional folds, in addition to ectopically located junctional folds. Electrophysiological recordings revealed no change in quantal content or MEPP frequency, but there was an increase in MEPP rise time in a subset of endplates. No differences were observed in the rate or extent of developmental synapse elimination. In vitro cleavage experiments revealed that MMP3 directly cleaves agrin. Increased agrin immunofluorescence was observed at the neuromuscular junctions of MMP3 null mutant mice. These results provide strong evidence that MMP3 is involved in the control of synaptic structure at the neuromuscular junction and they support the hypothesis that MMP3 is involved in the regulation of agrin at the neuromuscular junction. 相似文献
