TPM1κ is an alternatively spliced isoform of the TPM1 gene whose specific role in cardiac development and disease is yet to be elucidated. Although mRNA studies have shown TPM1κ expression in axolotl heart and skeletal muscle, it has not been quantified. Also the presence of TPM1κ protein in axolotl heart and skeletal muscle has not been demonstrated. In this study, we quantified TPM1κ mRNA expression in axolotl heart and skeletal muscle. Using a newly developed TPM1κ specific antibody, we demonstrated the expression and incorporation of TPM1κ protein in myofibrils of axolotl heart and skeletal muscle. The results support the potential role of TPM1κ in myofibrillogenesis and sarcomeric function. J. Cell. Biochem. 110: 875–881, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Maintenance of skeletal muscle structure and function requires innervation by motor neurons, such that denervation causes muscle atrophy. We show that myogenin, an essential regulator of muscle development, controls neurogenic atrophy. Myogenin is upregulated in skeletal muscle following denervation and regulates expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligases MuRF1 and atrogin-1, which promote muscle proteolysis and atrophy. Deletion of myogenin from adult mice diminishes expression of MuRF1 and atrogin-1 in denervated muscle and confers resistance to atrophy. Mice lacking histone deacetylases (HDACs) 4 and 5 in skeletal muscle fail to upregulate myogenin and also preserve muscle mass following denervation. Conversely, forced expression of myogenin in skeletal muscle of HDAC mutant mice restores muscle atrophy following denervation. Thus, myogenin plays a dual role as both a regulator of muscle development and an inducer of neurogenic atrophy. These findings reveal a specific pathway for muscle wasting and potential therapeutic targets for this disorder.  相似文献

The skeletal muscle sodium pump plays a major role in the removal of K(+) ions from the circulation postprandial, or after a physical activity bout, thereby preventing the development of hyperkalemia and fatigue. Insulin and muscle contractions stimulate Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in skeletal muscle, at least partially via translocation of sodium pump units to the plasma membrane from intracellular stores. The molecular mechanism of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Due to the contradictory reports in the literature, the very existence of the translocation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase to the skeletal muscle cell surface is questionable. This review summarizes more than 30 years work on the skeletal muscle sodium pump translocation paradigm. Furthermore, the methodological caveats of major approaches to study the sodium pump translocation in skeletal muscle are discussed. An understanding of the molecular regulation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in skeletal muscle will have important clinical implications for the understanding of the development of complications associated with the metabolic syndrome, such as cardiovascular diseases or increased muscle fatigue in diabetic patients.  相似文献

During the process of mesoderm specification in Xenopus embryos, cells of the equatorial region are induced to form mesoderm in response to signals from the underlying endodermal cells. One mesodermal cell type resulting from this in vivo induction is skeletal muscle, which has a very specific and tightly regulated course of electrical and morphological development. Previously, electrical development could be analyzed only after neurulation, once myocytes could be morphologically identified. In vitro, activin triggers a cascade of events leading to the development of specific mesodermal tissues, including skeletal muscle; however, the precise role of activin in vivo is less clear. Much is now known about the mechanism and control of activin action, but very little is known about the subsequent time course of differentiation of activin-induced muscle. Such muscle is routinely identified by the presence of a small number of specific markers which, although they accurately confirm the presence of muscle, give little indication of the time course or quantitative aspects of muscle development. One of the most important functional aspects of muscle development is the acquisition of the complex electrical properties which allow it to function normally. Here we assess the ability of activin to drive in vitro the normal highly regulated sequence of electrical development in skeletal muscle. We find that in most, but not all, respects the normal time course of development of voltage-gated ion currents is well reproduced in activin-induced muscle. This characterization strengthens the case for activin as an agent capable of inducing the detailed developmental program of muscle and now allows for analysis of the regulation of electrical development prior to neurulation.  相似文献

The appearance of specific receptors for the Ca2+ channel antagonist nitrendipine has been followed during the fetal and post-natal development of rat brain without cerebellum, cerebellum, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The number of nitrendipine receptors is low at the fetal stage and increases drastically during post-natal development of brain, cerebellum, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The time course of this increase is different for each type of tissue studied. No significant change in receptor ligand dissociation constant (Kd) can be detected over the development period studied. The results are discussed in relation with the known properties of the differentiation process in the four types of excitable tissues studied.  相似文献

Overloaded skeletal muscle undergoes dramatic shifts in gene expression, which alter both the phenotype and mass. Molecular biology techniques employing both in vivo and in vitro hypertrophy models have demonstrated that mechanical forces can alter skeletal muscle gene regulation. This review's purpose is to support integrin-mediated signaling as a candidate for mechanical load-induced hypertrophy. Research quantifying components of the integrin-signaling pathway in overloaded skeletal muscle have been integrated with knowledge regarding integrins role during development and cardiac hypertrophy, with the hope of demonstrating the pathway's importance. The role of integrin signaling as an integrator of mechanical forces and growth factor signaling during hypertrophy is discussed. Specific components of integrin signaling, including focal adhesion kinase and low-molecular-weight GTPase Rho are mentioned as downstream targets of this signaling pathway. There is a need for additional mechanistic studies capable of providing a stronger linkage between integrin-mediated signaling and skeletal muscle hypertrophy; however, there appears to be abundant justification for this type of research.  相似文献

Amino acids such as leucine and its metabolite α-ketoisocaproate (KIC), are returning to be the focus of studies, mainly because of their anti-catabolic properties, through inhibition of muscle proteolysis and enhancement of protein synthesis. It is clear that these effects may counteract catabolic conditions, as well as enhance skeletal muscle mass and strength in athletes. Moreover, beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been shown to produce an important effect in reducing muscle damage induced by mechanical stimuli of skeletal muscle. This review aims to describe the general scientific evidence of KIC and HMB supplementation clinical relevance, as well as their effects (e.g., increases in skeletal muscle mass and/or strength), associated with resistance training or other sports. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of cell signaling regulation leading to increases and/or sparing (during catabolic conditions) of skeletal muscle mass are discussed in detail based on the recent literature.  相似文献

Recent advances in the knowledge of the structure and function of voluntary muscle and some of its diseases are reviewed on the basis of a recently published international symposium. Among the subjects discussed are: the specific metabolic role of various muscle cell constituents (e.g. sarcosomes, microsomes, sarcoplasmic reticulum); the relaxing factor system and the dual (tonic and phasic) innervation of muscle fibres; observations on the physiology of muscle training; the morphologic differential diagnosis of degenerative skeletal muscle diseases; the value of serum enzyme determinations in the early detection of muscular dystrophy and in the identification of dystrophic carriers; the classification and diagnosis of muscular hypotonias of infancy; the role of inactivity and the trophic control of the nervous system in the development of neural (or denervation) atrophies; factors influencing regeneration of muscle fibres; the significance, as a research tool, of the identification of hereditary primary muscle disease in laboratory animals.  相似文献

ACTH and related peptides are mitogens for certain mesodermal cell types such as adrenocortical cells, T-lymphocytes, and skeletal myoblasts. In order to postulate a possible physiological role for these peptides in skeletal muscle histogenesis, it is necessary to establish whether they are present in muscle forming anlagens of postimplantation mouse embryos. By radioimmunoassay and immunofluorescence with antibodies specific for ACTH, we have detected these peptides in many areas of mouse embryos including neural tube, limb buds, eye lens, and myotomal muscles. During fetal development, immunoreactivity decreased in muscle tissue and appeared in visceral ganglia. Furthermore, primary myotubes or C2C12 myotubes, but not muscle or 3T3 fibroblasts, release significant levels of ACTH immunoreactive peptides into the culture medium. Using a microassay for mitogen production, primary myotubes or C2C12 myotubes, but not other mesodermal cells (with the exception of dermal fibroblasts) were shown to release factors into the medium which support myoblast proliferation. Neutralizing antibodies against ACTH inhibit myoblast but not fibroblast proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion. Based on these results, we propose that myotube-derived mitogens (including ACTH-like peptides) promote the proliferation of surrounding myoblast during muscle histogenesis in vivo.  相似文献

Cadherins are calcium-dependent, transmembrane intercellular adhesion proteins with morphoregulatory functions in the development and maintenance of tissues. In the development of striated muscle, the expression and function of mainly M-, N-, and R-cadherin has been studied so far. While these three cadherins are expressed in skeletal muscle cells, of these only N-cadherin is expressed in cardiac muscle. In this review, M-, N-, and R-cadherin are discussed as important players in the terminal differentiation and possibly also in the commitment of skeletal muscle cells. Furthermore, reports are described which evaluate the essential role of N-cadherin in the formation of heart tissue.  相似文献

The role of Nrf2 in disease prevention and treatment is well documented; however the specific role of Nrf2 in skeletal muscle is not well described. The current study investigated whether Nrf2 plays a protective role in an STZ-induced model of skeletal muscle atrophy.  相似文献

Animal and clinical studies indicated that the androgen-AR signaling pathway is required for appropriate development of sexually dimorphic skeletal muscles and increases lean muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle protein synthesis. However, the detailed mechanisms by which the androgen-AR signaling pathway regulates skeletal muscle development need further study at the molecular level. C2C12 myoblast cells stably transfected with the Flag-tagged AR were used to analyze the role of androgen-AR signaling pathway in skeletal muscle development. The results indicate that the androgen-AR signaling pathway may suppress skeletal myoblast cell growth and accelerate myoblast cell differentiation via enhanced myogenin expression. This is a first report showing the role of androgen-AR signaling pathway in regulation of myoblast cell growth and myogenic regulatory factors.  相似文献

β‐Adrenergic signaling regulates many physiological processes in skeletal muscles. A wealth of evidence has shown that β‐agonists can increase skeletal muscle mass in vertebrates. Nevertheless, to date, the specific role of β‐adrenergic receptors in different cell phenotypes (myoblasts, fibroblasts, and myotubes) and during the different steps of embryonic skeletal muscle differentiation has not been studied. Therefore, here we address this question through the analysis of embryonic chick primary cultures of skeletal muscle cells during the formation of multinucleated myotubes. We used isoproterenol (ISO), a β‐adrenergic receptor agonist, to activate the β‐adrenergic signaling and quantified several aspects of muscle differentiation. ISO induced an increase in myoblast proliferation, in the percentage of Pax7‐positive myoblasts and in the size of skeletal muscle fibers, suggesting that ISO activates a hyperplasic and hypertrophic muscle response. Interestingly, treatment with ISO did not alter the number of fibroblast cells, suggesting that ISO effects are specific to muscle cells in the case of chick myogenic cell culture. We also show that rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway, did not prevent the effects of ISO on chick muscle fiber size. The collection of these results provides new insights into the role of β‐adrenergic signaling during skeletal muscle proliferation and differentiation and specifically in the regulation of skeletal muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy.  相似文献
