Fibre-type classification of human skeletal muscle into type I and type II fibres is mostly based on their slight or strong staining with the myosin adenosine triphosphatase reaction. In order to evaluate the reliability of this screening technique a combined histochemical and biochemical study was performed on normal and diseased skeletal muscle of human subjects. In the present investigation activities of enzymes which play a role in the aerobic and anaerobic pathways and which can characterize fibre type, were examined in muscle specimens, with no apparent disease of the neuromuscular system. Special attention is given to the maximal activities of phosphofructokinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, the rate limiting enzymes for the regulation of the glycolysis and glyconeogenesis, respectively. A most important feature of the biochemical findings is the constancy of the activity ratios of the examined enzymes. From these results and from the histochemical results it can be concluded that in apparently normal adult human skeletal muscle the ATP-ase technique for type I and type II typing is reliable. For fibres with an intermediate intensity of staining with the myosin ATPase technique of typing it is also necessary to apply other enzyme histochemical techniques. 相似文献

A combined histochemical, biochemical and electrophoretic study with respect to the enzymes succnic dehydrogenase(SDH), myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (m-ATPase), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes and myosin light chains was carried out to investigate the response of rat gastrocnemius muscle (medial head). Twelve weeks after thyroidectomy, the results indicated a shift from fast to slow type pattern of LDH isozymes, fibre type transformation from Type II to Type I and a decrease in SDH and m-ATPase activity. The results suggest, possible thyroidal involvement in determining the phenotypic properties of skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Summary In the present investigation the results of a lead salt technique and two calcium salt techniques for the demonstration of the activity of myosin adenosine triphosphatase in sections of both normal and pathological human skeletal muscle specimens are compared. It was seen that the histochemical results obtained by the different techniques are similar, especially with regard to the identification of fibre-types.It can be clearly stated, that the alkaline phosphatase activity present in muscle fibres of diseased skeletal muscles revealed only a very slight activity with the substrate ATP, so the alkaline phosphatase activity in general did not disturb the reliability of the different myosin ATPase techniques.Moreover it was found that the presence of the mitochondrial Ca2+-ion activated ATPase with a high pH-optimum in muscle fibres did not give rise to faulty results.From studies with dinitrophenol it can be concluded that this substance activates the myosin ATPase present in type I fibres especially. 相似文献

Summary Some histochemical parameters of the three main fibre types of rat vastus lateralis muscle were studied. Succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), creatine kinase (CK), sarcotubular ATPase (SR-ATPase) and mitochondrial ATPase activities were demonstrated in serial sections. The three fibre types, recognised by the distribution pattern of SDH activity, all show high CK activity. However, red Type I oxidative fibres when examined for ATPase and ATPase dependent CK activity, show distinct heterogeneity revealing sub-populations within the same homogeneous fibre type. Three distinct patterns were recognised in the red Type I fibres depending on the distribution of the final reaction product. The present histochemical evidence confirms the fact that subdivision of mammalian skeletal muscle into three fibre types is only approximate and probably more than three types exist. 相似文献

Summary In this communication, the results of applying various histochemical techniques for the localization of oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases and isomerases in the human heart are presented. The Purkinje fibres of the atrioventricular conducting system of the human heart differ from the myocardium proper in containing a slightly higher activity of most of the glycolytic and gluconeogenetic enzymes investigated. The relatively higher activity of 6-phosphofructokinase, the key enzyme in anaerobic carbohydrate metabolism, is especially noteworthy. On the other hand, the activities of some of the enzymes that play a part in the aerobic energy metabolism is slightly less than those in the myocardium fibres.As for the activity of the NADPH regenerating enzymes, the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating) is somewhat higher, and the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase similar, in the Purkinje fibres compared to that in the myocardial fibres. The activity of myosin ATPase is similar for both types of fibre. Likewise, the fibres of the conducting system and of the myocardium show a similar activity of acid phosphatase, -glucuronidase, non-specific naphthylesterase and peroxidase. The neurogenic function of the conducting system of the human heart was demonstrated by the high activity of acetylcholinesterase in the Purkinje fibres and in the atrioventricular node. All these histochemical findings in Purkinje fibres are similar at widely differing levels of the conducting system. 相似文献

A comparative microphotometric study of succinate dehydrogenase activity levels in type I,IIA and IIB fibres of mammalian and human muscles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Activity levels of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) were determined kinetically by means of comparative microphotometric measurements in situ. Activities were correlated with fibre types classified histochemically according to Brooke and Kaiser (1970). Analyses of tibialis anterior muscles in the mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, cat and the human showed pronounced variations in the activity profiles of type I, type IIA and IIB fibres of these muscles. Large scattering of enzyme activity existed in the three fibre populations. Overlaps of varying extent were found for the SDH profiles between the different muscles. Type I fibres reveal species diffeences in aerobic oxidative capacity. Whereas the majority of the IIB fibres in rabbit muscle tended to be low in SDH activity, the main fraction of this fibre population was characterized by high activities in mouse muscle. Similarly, the IIA fibre populations revealed opposite properties in mouse and rabbit muscles. These extremes as well as intermediate activity patterns indicate that no general scheme exists according to which the histochemically assessable myosin ATPase is correlated with the aerobic oxidative capacity of muscle fibres in various mammalian muscles. 相似文献

The fibre type composition of the striated muscle layer of the oesophagus of the cow, sheep, donkey, dog and cat was examined with standard histochemical methods and immunohistochemical staining using type-specific antimyosin sera. The heavy chain and light chain composition of oesophageal myosin was also examined using electrophoretic peptide mapping and 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis respectively. In the ruminants and donkey the oesophagus was composed of fibre types I, IIA and IIC with immunohistochemical characteristics identical to those of the same fibre types found in control skeletal muscle. In the ruminants there was a gradient in the proportion of type I fibres from 1% (at the cervical end) to about 30% (at the caudal end). In the carnivores the oesophageal muscle was composed of a very small percentage of type I and IIC fibres, but the predominant type was very different histochemically and immunohistochemically from all the fibre types (I, IIA, IIB, IIC) present in the control muscles. This oesophageal fibre type ( IIoes ) had an acid- and alkaline-stable m-ATPase activity, a moderate histochemical Ca-Mg actomyosin ATPase activity, and reacted weakly with anti-IIA and anti-IIB myosin sera. Although the light chains of the IIoes myosin were the same as the light chains of a mixture of IIA and IIB myosins, their respective heavy chains gave different peptide maps. Greater differences were obtained between the heavy chains of IIoes and other striated muscle myosins. These observations lead us to conclude that this predominant fibre type of the carnivore oesophageal striated muscle is of the 'fast' type, and contains a distinct isoform of myosin similar but not identical to the other fast type myosins. 相似文献

Summary The purpose of this investigation was to examine critically the validity of a computerized quantitative microphotometric histochemical technique for the determination of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in skeletal muscle fibres. Sections from the anterior costal diaphragm were removed from Fischer-344 rats (n = 12) and assayed histochemically to determine SDH activity. The SDH activity in individual muscle fibres was computed using a computerized microphotometric histochemical technique which involves measurement of the optical density of deposited diformazan derived from nitroblue tetrazolium within the fibres. To validate the histochemical technique, whole muscle SDH activities were calculated from the histochemical procedure and were compared to SDH activities determined from whole muscle homogenates via a standard quantitative biochemical assay. The mean within-day variability of the computerized microphotometric histochemical technique of determining SDH activity was 6% (range = 0.5–10.9%) for an area containing ~50 fibres and 6.1% (range = 1.05–14.9%) for an individual muscle fibre. Similarly, the mean between-day variability of the microphotometric histochemical technique of determining SDH activity was 5.9% (range = 2.6–13.9%) for an area containing ~50 fibres and 6.6% (range = 2.2–13.9%) for an individual muscle fibre. The inter-class correlation coefficient between biochemically determined SDH activity and histochemically determined SDH activity was r = 0.83 (p < 0.05). Collectively, these data demonstrate that the quantitative histochemical technique of Blanco et al. (1988) is both valid and reliable in the determination of SDH activity in skeletal muscle fibres. 相似文献

Electrophoresis, immunoblots, immunohistochemistry and image analysis methods were applied to characterise canine trunk and
appendicular muscle fibres according to their myosin heavy chain (MyHC) composition and to determine, on a fibre-to-fibre
basis, the correlation between contractile [MyHC (s), myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase) and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms], metabolic [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activities
and glycogen and phospholamban (PLB) content] and morphological (cross-sectional area and capillary and nuclear densities)
features of individual myofibres. An accurate delineation of MyHC-based fibre types was obtained with the developed immunohistochemical
method, which showed high sensitivity and objectivity to delineate hybrid fibres with overwhelming dominance of one MyHC isoform.
Phenotypic differences in contractile, metabolic and morphological properties seen between fibre types were related to MyHC
content. All canine skeletal muscle fibre types had a relatively high histochemical SDH activity but significant differences
existed in the order IIA>I>IIX. Mean GPDH was ranked according to fibre type such that I<IIA<IIX. Type IIA fibres were the
smallest, type IIX fibres the largest and type I of intermediate size. Capillary and nuclear density decreased in the order
IIA>I>IIX. Hybrid fibres, which represented nearly one third of the whole pool of skeletal muscle fibres analysed, had mean
values intermediate between their respective pure phenotypes. Slow fibres expressed the slow SERCA isoform and PLB, whereas
type II fibres expressed the fast SERCA isoform. Discrimination of myofibres according to their MyHC content was possible
on the basis of their contractile, metabolic and morphological features. These intrafibre interrelationships suggest that
myofibres of control dogs exhibit a high degree of co-ordination in their physiological, biochemical and morphological characteristics.
This study demonstrates that canine skeletal muscle fibres have been misclassified in numerous previous studies and offers
useful baseline data and new prospects for future work on muscle-fibre-typing in canine experimental studies. 相似文献

Summary The reliability of enzyme histochemical observations of activities of acid hydrolases was investigated with a combined histochemical and biochemical study. Specimens of m. soleus, m. plantaris, m. gastrocnemius and diaphragm of normal and of vitamin E deficient rabbits were used. For the histochemical investigation, activity and localization of acid phosphatase, -glucuronidase, leucine aminopeptidase and E600 resistant non-specific aryl-esterase were examined with semipermeable membrane techniques. For the biochemical investigation, activity of acid phosphatase, -glucuronidase, cathepsin D, acid maltase and neutral maltase was determined.By means of statistical calculations the enzyme activities demonstrated with histochemical techniques were compared with the enzyme activities determined with biochemical techniques.In the present communication the histochemical findings are reported and discussed. From the histochemical findings it appeared that activity of the acid hydrolases investigated is strongly increased in both a granular and a diffuse pattern in skeletal muscle of vitamin E deficient rabbits. The statistical calculations of the histochemical findings clearly reveal that the increased activity of one acid hydrolase was highly significantly paralleled by an increased activity of a second acid hydrolase. Moreover the probability that the activity of all other histochemically studied acid hydrolases was significantly increased was rather high.The increase in activity of the acid hydrolases studied was the same in muscles with an aerobic or an anaerobic metabolism. Moreover there was no difference in activity and localization of the acid hydrolases in aerobic type I and anaerobic type II fibres.The localization of acid phosphatase and -glucuronidase activity in muscle fibres mostly coincided. In cases where these enzymes were localized both centrally and in the subsarcolemnal areas of the muscle fibres, the activity of E600 resistant naphtholesterase was usually, and the activity of leucine aminopeptidase was exclusively located in the subsarcolemnal areas. All of the examined acid hydrolases were found to be present in the inflammatory exudate and in the connective tissue.This study was partly extracted from the Ph. D. thesis of D.E. Israël (1977). 相似文献

The histochemical pattern of red, pink and white muscle of fish living in fresh, brackish, and salt water is reported. The muscle fibres were stained routinely during the year for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), menadione α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (Mα—GPDH), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), myosin adenosine triphosphatase (myosin ATPase), phosphorylase, lipids and glycogen. The pink and red muscles contain more glycogen and lipids and have a higher SDH activity, which is in accord with their aerobic metabolism and function in sustained swimming activity. The acid labile myosin ATPase activity characteristic of fast twitch fibres is present in the white fibres of most species, however in the white muscle of Gobius paganellus the enzyme activity is stable to both acid and alkali and, in addition, there is a scattered distribution of different fibre types in red and, especially, pink muscle. A study of seasonal variation patterns of myosin ATPase in white muscle of mugilidae over a period of two years has demonstrated, in late summer, the appearance of new small diameter fibres, with a high acid stable enzyme activity, that develop into the large diameter acid labile fibres. 相似文献

Summary After subcutaneous administration of N,N-dimethyl-para-phenylenediamine (DPPD) in rats, a myogenic myopathy was produced in the skeletal muscles. In this communication, the results of the application of various histochemical techniques for the localization of oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases and isomerases and biochemical techniques for the estimation of activities of oxidoreductases in the experimental skeletal muscles are presented. The most striking result was the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase which increased dramatically during the early phase of the muscle disease. The increase in activity of the pentose phosphate shunt enzymes was the first pathological alteration and was present as early as 8 h after a single injection of DPPD. Histochemical techniques for demonstration of activity of both enzymes are therefore highly suited for the detection of minor diseases and the early onset of major diseases of the neuromuscular system. Some glycolytic enzymes as well as some enzymes of the aerobic part of the metabolism showed an early decrease or increase in activity indicating a metabolic imbalance in the muscle fibres. There were more fibres with an intermediate pattern of the energy yielding enzymes in the experimental muscle specimens then in specimens from the control groups. The activity of the catabolic hydrolytic enzymes was strongly increased in pathological muscles. The aerobic muscles were more vulnerable to DPPD than the anaerobic muscles. 相似文献

Young Wistar rats underwent dynamic (D) or static (S) exercise from the 5th to 35th day after birth. Histochemical and biochemical analysis were performed in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and the soleus muscle (SOL). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (regulating anaerobic metabolism) and citrate synthase (CS) and hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) (both regulating aerobic metabolism) activities were determined spectrophotometrically. An increase of the fast oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) muscle fibres was found in the slow SOL muscle in both trained groups, i.e. by 10% in group D and by 7% in group S in comparison with the C group. The EDL muscle fibre distribution did not differ from those of control animals in respect to the slow oxidative (SO) fibre type. A higher percentage of FOG fibres by 19% was found in group D contrary to a decreased number of the fast glycolytic (FG) muscle fibres in this trained group. The greatest increase of CS (EDL 185%, SOL 176%) and HAD (EDL 83%, SOL 178%) activities were found in group D as compared with control group (C). Only small differences were observed in LDH activity. The values of characteristic enzyme activity ratios show that dynamic training resulted in an elevation of oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle, while the static load led preferentially along the glycolytic pathway. It may be concluded that an adaptive response to the training load during early postnatal development is different due to the type of exercise (dynamic or static) and/or the type of skeletal muscle (fast or slow). 相似文献

The immunohistochemical reaction of monoclonal as well as polyclonal antibodies against cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunits with serial sections of normal human skeletal muscle was investigated. The stronger reactivity of polyclonal antibodies to COX subunits II-III and VIIbc with type I as compared to type II fibres, correlated well with the higher histochemical reactivity of NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase in type I fibres. In contrast an almost exclusive reaction of a monoclonal antibody against subunit IV with type I fibre and a preponderant reaction of a polyclonal antibody against subunits Vab with type II fibres was obtained. Antibodies against subunits I, Vb and VIc did not reveal a fibre-type-specific reactivity. The data indicate in human muscle the occurrence of fibre type-specific isozymes of cytochrome c oxidase differing in subunits IV and Va or Vb. 相似文献

Summary Methods for standardized determination of phosphofructokinase (PFK), glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities in nanogram samples of microdissected single fibres of rabbit psoas and soleus muscle are described. Fast and slow fibres in soleus muscle show lower absolute activities of these enzymes than the respective fibre types in psoas muscle. Slow fibres represent a more uniform population in the two muscles according to absolute and relative activities of the enzymes investigated. Slow fibres are characterized by high activities of MDH and relatively low activities of glycolytic enzymes. Fast fibres in the soleus muscle represent a population with high activities of MDH and glycolytic enzymes. Fast fibres in psoas muscle represent a heterogeneous population with high activities of glycolytic enzymes and extremely variable activity of MDH. More than 10-fold differences exist in the MDH activities of the extreme types of this fibre population. Differences in the activity levels of MDH in single fast type fibres but also in the activities of glycolytic enzymes between fast and slow fibres are greater than those reported between extreme white and red rabbit muscles. 相似文献

Summary The immunohistochemical reaction of monoclonal as well as polyclonal antibodies against cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunits
with serial sections of normal human skeletal muscle was investigated. The stronger reactivity of polyclonal antibodies to
COX subunits II–III and VIIbc with type I as compared to type II fibres, correlated well with the higher histochemical reactivity
of NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase in type I fibres. In contrast an almost exclusive
reaction of a monoclonal antibody against subunit IV with type I fibre and a preponderan reaction of a polyclonal antibody
against subunits Vab with type II fibres was obtained. Antibodies against subuntis I, Vb and VIc did not reveal a fibre-type-specific
reactivity. The data indicate in human muscle the occurrence of fibre type-specific isozymes of cytochrome c oxidase differing
in subunits IV and Va or Vb. 相似文献

Fibre types in the costal region of the diaphragm muscle of several mammalian species with widely different respiratory rates were examined microphotometrically for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity. Mean activities indicated no significant (p greater than 0.05) difference between the type I and IIA fibres for any of the species examined. SDH activities in type IIB fibres were significantly lower (p less than 0.05) than either the type I or type IIA fibres in the cat, guinea pig, rat and rabbit whereas in the mouse no difference was found. The dog had no classical type 1B fibres. Analysis of the distribution of SDH activities by fibre type indicated a wide scattering of scores with no distinct separation between fibre types. Large differences in SDH activity were noted between species. Mean SDH activities were highest in the mouse and rat, intermediate in the rabbit and guinea pig and lowest in the cat and dog. These data suggest an association between respiratory rate and aerobic oxidative potential of the various fibre types in diaphragms of the species examined. 相似文献
