We tested the hypothesis that a force reduction in hyperthyroid rat soleus muscle would be associated with oxidative modification in myosin heavy chain (MHC). Daily injection of thyroid hormone [3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3)] for 21 days depressed isometric forces of whole soleus muscle across a range of stimulus frequencies (P < 0.01). In fiber bundles, hyperthyroidism also led to pronounced reductions (P < 0.01) in both K+ - and 4-chloro-m-cresol-induced contracture forces. The degrees of the reductions were similar between these two contractures that were induced by distinct reagents. Treatment with T3 elicited a significant decrease ( approximately 14%; P < 0.05) in the relative content of MHC contained in myofibrillar proteins. The content of carbonyl groups in myofibrillar protein extracts was elevated (P < 0.05) by approximately 50% in T3-treated muscles. Immunoblot analyses on T3-treated muscles showed a greater increase (106%; P < 0.05) of the carbonyl content in MHC than in myofibrillar protein extracts. These data suggest that in hyperthyroidism the decrease in force production of skeletal muscles may stem primarily from failure in myofibrillar protein function resulting from oxidative modification of MHC. 相似文献

The in situ contents of myosin, actin, alpha-actinin, tropomyosin, troponin, desmin were estimated in dog cardiac, rabbit skeletal, and chicken smooth muscles. Whole muscle tissues were dissolved with 8 M guanidine hydrochloride and subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, which is a nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis (Murakami, U. & Uchida, K. (1984) J. Biochem. 95, 1577-1584) with some modification. The amount of protein in a spot on a slab gel was determined by quantification of the extracted dye. Dye binding capacity of individual myofibrillar proteins was determined by using the purified protein. Myosin contents were 82 +/- 7 pmol/mg wet weight in cardiac muscle, 105 +/- 10 pmol/mg wet weight in skeletal muscle, and 45 +/- 4 pmol/mg wet weight in smooth muscle. Actin contents were 339 +/- 15 pmol/mg wet weight in cardiac muscle, 625 +/- 27 pmol/mg wet weight in skeletal muscle, and 742 +/- 13 pmol/mg wet weight in smooth muscle. The subunit stoichiometry of myosin in the three types of muscles was two heavy chains and four light chains, and there was one light chain 2 for every heavy chain. The molar ratio of actin to tropomyosin was 7/1 in the three types of muscles. Striking differences were seen in the molar ratio of myosin to actin: 1.0/4.1 in cardiac muscle, 1.0/6.0 in skeletal muscle, and 1.0/16.5 in smooth muscle. 相似文献

Intrinsic muscle abnormalities affecting skeletal muscle are often reported during chronic heart failure (CHF). Because myosin is the molecular motor of force generation, we sought to determine whether its dysfunction contributes to skeletal muscle weakness in CHF and, if so, to identify the underlying causative factors. Severe CHF was induced in rats by aortic stenosis. In diaphragm and soleus muscles, we investigated in vitro mechanical performance, myosin-based actin filament motility, myosin heavy (MHC) and light (MLC) chain isoform compositions, MLC integrity, caspase-3 activation, and oxidative damage. Diaphragm and soleus muscles from CHF exhibited depressed mechanical performance. Myosin sliding velocities were 16 and 20% slower in CHF than in sham in diaphragm (1.9 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.6 +/- 0.1 microm/s) and soleus (0.6 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.5 +/- 0.1 microm/s), respectively (each P < 0.05). The ratio of slow-to-fast myosin isoform did not differ between sham and CHF. Immunoblots with anti-MLC antibodies did not detect the presence of protein fragments, and no activation of caspase-3 was evidenced. Immunolabeling revealed oxidative damage in CHF muscles, and MHC was the main oxidized protein. Lipid peroxidation and expression of oxidized MHC were significantly higher in CHF than in shams. In vitro myosin exposure to increasing ONOO(-) concentrations was associated with an increasing amount of oxidized MHC and a reduced myosin velocity. These data provide experimental evidence that intrinsic myosin dysfunction occurs in CHF and may be related to oxidative damage to myosin. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether skeletal muscle mass, myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase activity, and the expression of myosin heavy (MHC) and light chain subunits are differentially affected in juvenile (4 wk) and young adult (12 wk) rats by a hypertrophic growth stimulus. Hypertrophy of the plantaris or soleus was studied 4 wk after ablation of either two [gastrocnemius (GTN) and soleus or plantaris] or one (GTN) synergistic muscle(s). There was no difference in the relative magnitude of hypertrophy because of age. Plantaris myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase activity was decreased 21 and 12% in juvenile and adult rats, respectively, as a result of ablation of both the GTN and soleus. Slow myosin light chain isoforms (1s and 2s) were expressed to a greater extent in hypertrophied plantaris muscles of both ages, but the increase in 1s was greater in juvenile rats. The relative expression of slow beta-MHC in hypertrophied plantaris muscles increased by 470 and 350%, whereas MHC IIb decreased by 70 and 33% in juvenile and adult rats, respectively. The relative expression of MHC IIa increased (56%) in the plantaris after ablation in juvenile rats only. These shifts in myosin subunit expression and the increases in mass were generally about one-half the magnitude when only the GTN was removed. There were no detectable myosin shifts in hypertrophied soleus muscles. Although the extent of muscle hypertrophy is similar, the shifts in myosin subunits were greater in juvenile than in young adult rats. 相似文献

mRNAs extracted from rabbit soleus, normal and 28-day, indirectly stimulated tibialis anterior muscles were translated in an in vitro system. Analysis for translation products by 2-dimensional electrophoresis showed fast myosin light chains in tibialis anterior, and slow myosin light chains in soleus muscle. The stoichiometry of the in vitro translated light chain varies from that seen in normal fast and slow twitch muscles. The stimulated muscle contained mRNA coding, both for fast and slow myosin light chains, although the pattern of slow myosin light chains appears not to be complete at this point of time of the transformation process. 相似文献

Summary A quantitative modification of Meijer's calcium-lead capture method, for the demonstration of calcium-stimulated myofibrillar ATPase activity at physiological pH, is described. A range of myofibrillar ATPase activities has been found among fast muscle fibres in two mouse hind-limb muscles. The myofibrillar ATPase activity of fast muscle fibres is 1.5–3 times higher than the myofibrillar ATPase activity of slow muscle fibres.Myofibrillar ATPase activities and succinate dehydrogenase activities of individual muscle fibres have been determined in serial sections. Activities of the two enzymes are correlated positively in soleus (fast and slow fibres), and negatively in plantaris (almost all fast) and extensor digitorum longus muscle (all fast). However, this correlation is not significant among the oxidative fibres in the extensor digitorum longus. The fibres of the latter muscle cannot be classified satisfactorily into two sub-types. 相似文献

We have used transient phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) to detect changes in actin structural dynamics associated with oxidative inhibition of muscle contraction. Contractility of skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers was inhibited by treatment with 50 mM H 2O 2, which induced oxidative modifications in the myosin head and in actin, as previously reported. Using proteins purified from oxidized and unoxidized muscle, we used TPA to measure the effects of weakly (+ATP) and strongly (no ATP) bound myosin heads (S1) on the microsecond dynamics of actin labeled at Cys374 with erythrosine iodoacetamide. Oxidative modification of S1 had no effect on actin dynamics in the absence of ATP (strong binding complex), but restricted the dynamics in the presence of ATP (weakly bound complex). In contrast, oxidative modification of actin did not have a significant effect on the weak-to-strong transitions. Thus, we concluded that (1) the effects of oxidation on the dynamics of actin in the actomyosin complex are predominantly determined by oxidation-induced changes in S1, and (2) changes in weak-to-strong structural transitions in actin and myosin are coupled to each other and are associated with oxidative inhibition of muscle contractility. 相似文献

Summary Changes in the contractile apparatus of denervated rat soleus muscles were investigated during the course of reinnervation.As observed earlier, in the course of denervation atrophy the ratio of myosin to actin filaments decreases because myosin filaments disappear faster than actin filaments (Jakubiec-Puka et al. 1981 a). After reinnervation the amount of myosin filaments and myosin heavy chains (myosin HC) in the muscle increased during the first few days; the increment of actin content was negligible. The proportion of myosin HC to actin remained lower than normal for about 30 days. The excess of actin filaments frequently observed in the newly-formed myofibrils reflects this disproportion.The results show a lability of myosin and suggest some cytoskeletal role for actin filaments. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of chronic administration of the beta(2)-agonist clenbuterol (1.5 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) for 4 wk in the drinking water) on respiratory (diaphragm and parasternal intercostal) and hindlimb (tibialis and soleus) muscles in young rats during postnatal development (21 to 49 postnatal days). The treatment resulted in very little stimulation of muscle growth. Significant slow-to-fast transitions in the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms and significant increases in the myofibrillar ATPase activity were found in the diaphragm and soleus, whereas tibialis anterior and intercostal muscles did not show any significant fiber-type alteration. Decrease of oxidative enzyme activities and increase of glycolytic enzyme activities were also observed. It is concluded that whereas the growth stimulation is age dependent and only detectable in adult rats, the fiber-type transformation is also present in weaning rats and particularly evident in the soleus and diaphragm. The fiber-type transformation caused by clenbuterol might lead to an enhancement of contractile performance and also to a reduced resistance to fatigue. 相似文献

We examined the effects of 35 and 90 days of simulated microgravity with or without resistance-exercise (RE) countermeasures on the content of the general skeletal muscle protein fractions (mixed, sarcoplasmic, and myofibrillar) and specific proteins that are critical for muscle function (myosin, actin, and collagen). Subjects from two studies, using either unilateral lower limb suspension (ULLS) or bed rest (BR), comprised four separate groups: 35 days ULLS (n =11), 35 days ULLS+RE (n = 10), 90 days BR (n = 9), and 90 days BR+RE (n = 8). RE consisted of four sets of seven maximal concentric and eccentric repetitions of the quadriceps femoris muscles that were performed 2 or 3 times per week. Pre- and post-simulated weightlessness muscle biopsies were analyzed from the vastus lateralis of all groups and the soleus of the 35-day ULLS and 90-day BR groups. The general protein fractions and the specific proteins myosin, actin, and collagen of the vastus lateralis were unchanged (P > 0.05) in both control and countermeasures groups over 35 and 90 days, despite large changes in quadriceps femoris muscle volume (35 days ULLS: -9%, 35 days ULLS+RE: +8%; and 90 days BR: -18%, 90 days BR+RE: -1%). The soleus demonstrated a decrease in mixed (35 days ULLS: -12%, P = 0.0001; 90 days BR: -12%, P = 0.004) and myofibrillar (35 days ULLS: -12%, P = 0.009; 90 days BR: -8%, P = 0.04) protein, along with large changes in triceps surae muscle volume (35 days ULLS: -11%; 90 days BR: -29%). Despite the loss of quadriceps femoris muscle volume or preservation with RE countermeasures during simulated microgravity, the quadriceps femoris muscles are able to maintain the concentrations of the general protein pools and the main contractile and connective tissue elements. Soleus muscle protein composition appears to be disproportionately altered during long-duration simulated weightlessness. 相似文献

The biceps, semimembranosus, biceps femoris, and soleus muscles of female Rockland Wistar mice infected with either 1,000 Trichinella spiralis or 1,000 Trichinella pseudospiralis larvae were removed on days 12, 14, 16, and 18 post-infection (PI), sectioned and stained histochemically for their myosin ATPase activity. Light microscopic examination of the sections revealed that larvae of T. spiralis invade only the slow twitch muscle fibers, and those of T. pseudospiralis invade both the fast twitch and the slow twitch fibers. In sections obtained from mice infected with either parasite and killed on days 16 and 18 PI, identification of the majority of the infected fibers as fast twitch or slow twitch was not possible due to pathological modification of infected fibers. 相似文献

To examine how different kinds of activity affect the composition and contractile properties of aging skeletal muscle, old male rats were strength and swim trained. The mass of weights lifted during the strength training increased by 85 +/- 9% (P less than 0.05), which was accompanied by an increase by 32 +/- 5% (P less than 0.05) of the estimated force developed. The wet muscle weight of the soleus and the plantaris decreased significantly with age. The phenomenon was counteracted but not neutralized by the strength training. Twitch and tetanic tension also decreased significantly with age in both the soleus and plantaris muscle. This was avoided by the strength training. This training also significantly decreased time to peak tension and half-relaxation time of both muscles. The swim training increased the heart-to-body weight ratio by 21 +/- 5% (P less than 0.05) and the endurance of the soleus muscle. Time to peak tension and triosephosphate dehydrogenase activity of the plantaris muscle were strongly correlated (P less than 0.001) with myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity. The results show that the composition and contractile properties of old skeletal muscle are considerably affected by strength training repeated during a substantial period of old age, whereas swim training only affects the endurance of the skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Myosin light chain patterns of individual fast and slow-twitch fibres of rabbit muscles 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary Single muscle fibres were isolated by microdissection from freeze-dried samples of rabbit psoas and soleus muscles. The individual fibres were typed according to qualitative histochemical reactions for succinate dehydrogenase or NADH-tetrazolium reductase and for alkaline Ca2+-activated myofibrillar myosin ATPase after acid or alkaline preincubation. Methods are described for electrophoretic analysis by means of polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis in the presence of SDS of total myofibrillar proteins in single fibres after pre-extraction of soluble proteins. Fast-twitch white fibres revealed a myosin light chain pattern characteristic of fast-type myosin with three light chains of apparent molecular weights of 22,300 (LC1), 18,400 (LC2) and 16,000 (LC3). Fast-twitch red fibres were indistinguishable in this respect from fast-twitch white fibres and showed an identical pattern of myosin light chains. Slow-twitch fibres could be characterized by a myosin light chain pattern typical of myosin of slow-twitch muscles with peptides of the apparent molecular weights of 23,500 (LC1Sa), 23,000 (LC1Sb) and 18,500 (LS2S). Slow-twitch fibres isolated from soleus as well as from psoas muscle were indistinguishable with regard to their myosin light chain patterns, thus suggesting that fibres of the same histochemical type correspond in their myosin light chain patterns irrespective of their origin from different muscles.Dedicated to the memory of Ernest Gutmann who has contributed so much to our knowledge on differentiation of muscle and who died on August 6, 1977 相似文献

Passive tension of rat skeletal soleus muscle fibers: effects of unloading conditions. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In this work we studied changes in passive elastic properties of rat soleus muscle fibers subjected to 14 days of hindlimb unloading (HU). For this purpose, we investigated the titin isoform expression in soleus muscles, passive tension-fiber strain relationships of single fibers, and the effects of the thick filament depolymerization on passive tension development. The myosin heavy chain composition was also measured for all fibers studied. Despite a slow-to-fast transformation of the soleus muscles on the basis of their myosin heavy chain content, no modification in the titin isoform expression was detected after 14 days of HU. However, the passive tension-fiber strain relationships revealed that passive tension of both slow and fast HU soleus fibers increased less steeply with sarcomere length than that of control fibers. Gel analysis suggested that this result could be explained by a decrease in the amount of titin in soleus muscle after HU. Furthermore, the thick filament depolymerization was found to similarly decrease passive tension in control and HU soleus fibers. Taken together, these results suggested that HU did not change titin isoform expression in the soleus muscle, but rather modified muscle stiffness by decreasing the amount of titin. 相似文献

AMP and IMP dissociate actomyosin into actin and myosin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We investigated to determine why heating of squid muscle at 60 degrees C induced the liberation of actin from myofibrils. When a mixture of a myofibrillar fraction and a low-molecular sarcoplasmic fraction prepared from squid muscle was heated at 60 degrees C, actin liberation occurred. When a myofibrillar fraction was heated with ATP, AMP, or IMP, actin liberation occurred. Hence, AMP is perhaps one of the factors causing actin liberation in postmortem squid muscle. It was found that AMP and IMP reversibly dissociated actomyosin of chicken, bovine, and porcine skeletal muscles into actin and myosin on incubation at 0 degrees C at pH 7.2 in 0.2 M KCl. These results led us to conclude that AMP and IMP were the most responsible factors causing actin liberation from myofibrils in the heated muscle and causing reversible dissociation of actomyosin on storage of skeletal muscle at a low temperature. Hence, AMP and IMP are possible factors causing the resolution of rigor mortis in muscles. 相似文献

Exercise training improves functional capacity in aged individuals. Whether such training reduces the severity of exercise-induced muscle damage is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of 10 wk of treadmill exercise training on skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and exercise-induced ultrastructural damage in six aged female Quarter horses (>23 yr of age). The magnitude of ultrastructural muscle damage induced by an incremental exercise test before and after training was determined by electron microscopic examination of samples of triceps, semimembranosus, and masseter (control) muscles. Maximal aerobic capacity increased 22% after 10 wk of exercise training. The percentage of type IIa myosin heavy chain increased in semimembranosus muscle, whereas the percentage of type IIx myosin heavy chain decreased in triceps muscle. After training, triceps muscle showed significant increases in activities of both citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase. Attenuation of exercise-induced ultrastructural muscle damage occurred in the semimembranosus muscle at both the same absolute and the same relative workloads after the 10-wk conditioning period. We conclude that aged horses adapt readily to intense aerobic exercise training with improvements in endurance, whole body aerobic capacity, and muscle oxidative capacity, and heightened resistance to exercise-induced ultrastructural muscle cell damage. However, adaptations may be muscle-group specific. 相似文献

Mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin gene (ACTA1) cause congenital myopathies including nemaline myopathy, actin aggregate myopathy and rod-core disease. The majority of patients with ACTA1 mutations have severe hypotonia and do not survive beyond the age of one. A transgenic mouse model was generated expressing an autosomal dominant mutant (D286G) of ACTA1 (identified in a severe nemaline myopathy patient) fused with EGFP. Nemaline bodies were observed in multiple skeletal muscles, with serial sections showing these correlated to aggregates of the mutant skeletal muscle α-actin-EGFP. Isolated extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles were significantly weaker than wild-type (WT) muscle at 4 weeks of age, coinciding with the peak in structural lesions. These 4 week-old mice were ~30% less active on voluntary running wheels than WT mice. The α-actin-EGFP protein clearly demonstrated that the transgene was expressed equally in all myosin heavy chain (MHC) fibre types during the early postnatal period, but subsequently became largely confined to MHCIIB fibres. Ringbinden fibres, internal nuclei and myofibrillar myopathy pathologies, not typical features in nemaline myopathy or patients with ACTA1 mutations, were frequently observed. Ringbinden were found in fast fibre predominant muscles of adult mice and were exclusively MHCIIB-positive fibres. Thus, this mouse model presents a reliable model for the investigation of the pathobiology of nemaline body formation and muscle weakness and for evaluation of potential therapeutic interventions. The occurrence of core-like regions, internal nuclei and ringbinden will allow analysis of the mechanisms underlying these lesions. The occurrence of ringbinden and features of myofibrillar myopathy in this mouse model of ACTA1 disease suggests that patients with these pathologies and no genetic explanation should be screened for ACTA1 mutations. 相似文献

The organization of skeletal muscles in decapod crustaceans is significantly altered during molting and development. Prior to molting, the claw muscles atrophy dramatically, facilitating their removal from the base of the claw. During development, lobster claw muscles exhibit fiber switching over several molt cycles. Such processes may be influenced by the secretion of steroid molting hormones, known collectively as ecdysteroids. To assay the effects of these hormones, we used eyestalk ablation to trigger an elevation of circulating ecdysteroids and then quantified myofibrillar mRNA levels with real-time PCR and myofibrillar protein levels by SDS-PAGE. Levels of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and actin proteins and the mRNA encoding them were largely unaffected by eyestalk ablation, but in muscles from intact animals, myofibrillar gene expression was modestly elevated in premolt and postmolt animals. In contrast, polyubiquitin mRNA was significantly elevated (about 2-fold) in claw muscles from eyestalk-ablated animals with elevated circulating ecdysteroids. Moreover, patterns of MHC and actin gene expression are significantly different among slow and fast claw muscles. Consistent with these patterns, the three muscle types differed in the relative amounts of myosin heavy chain and actin proteins. All three muscles also co-expressed fast and slow myosin isoforms, even in fibers that are generally regarded as exclusively fast or slow. These results are consistent with other recent data demonstrating co-expression of myosin isoforms in lobster muscles. 相似文献

Age-related differences in skeletal muscle insulin signaling: the role of stress kinases and heat shock proteins 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Aging is associated with an increase in insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, yet the underlying mechanism is not well established. We hypothesize that with aging, a chronic increase in stress kinase activation, coupled with a decrease in oxidative capacity, leads to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. In aged (24 mo old) and young (3 mo old) Fischer 344 rats, 2-deoxyglucose uptake and insulin signaling [as measured by phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), Akt (protein kinase B), and Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160)] decreased significantly with age. Activation of, c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), glycogen serine kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta), and degradation of IkappaBalpha by the upstream inhibitor of kappa B kinase (IKKbeta), as measured by Western blot analysis, were increased with age in both soleus and epitrochlearis (Epi) muscles. However, much higher activation of these kinases in Epi muscles from young rats compared with soleus results in a greater effect of these kinases on insulin signaling in fast-twitch muscle with age. Heat shock protein (HSP) 72 expression and phosphorylation of HSP25 were higher in soleus compared with Epi muscles, and both parameters decreased with age. Age and fiber type differences in cytochrome oxidase activity are consistent with observed changes in HSP expression and activation. Our results demonstrate a significant difference in the ability of slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscles to respond to insulin and regulate glucose with age. A greater constitutive HSP expression and lower stress kinase activation may account for the ability of slow-twitch muscles to preserve the capacity to respond to insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis with age. 相似文献
