Summary Comparisons were made of the histochemical characteristics of skeletal muscle from 10 animal species. The basic comparison was made from the staining patterns for the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase produced by preincubation of fresh frozen cross-sections of muscle at alkaline pH (10.30) or acid pH (4.60) with those produced by preincubation in media containing Cu2+ at alkaline pH (10.30), near neutral pH (7.40), or acid pH (4.60). Muscle sections were also stained for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase to provide an indication of the relative oxidative and glycolytic capacity of the different fiber types. Type II fibers in mixed fibered muscles were either very sensitive, moderately sensitive, or relatively insensitive to inactivation of the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase after acid preincubation. These fibers were identified as type IIA1, IIA2, and IIA3, respectively. The myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase of the type I fibers of these muscles, with the exception of those in mouse muscle, was activated by pretreatment with acid. A separation of animal species was possible based on the stability of the IIA1 fibers to inclusion of Cu2+ in the preincubation medium. For one group of animals (rat, mouse, monkey, man, dog, rabbit, and cow), a reciprocal relationship existed between lability to acid and stability to Cu2+ for type IIA1 and IIA3 fibers, respectively. For the second group of animals (horse, ass, and cat) there was a parallel relationship between lability or stability of the type IIA1 and IIA3 fibers to pretreatment with either acid or Cu2+

Experiments are reported demonstrating that differential rates of inactivation of the histochemical staining for myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase in rat skeletal muscle fibers exist following inclusion of low concentrations of Cu2+ in the preincubation medium. This response of rat muscle occurs at near neutral (7.40), acid (4.60), and alkaline (10.30) pH. The response to Cu2+ appears to result from a binding of Cu2+ onto the myofibrillar complex, probably on myosin itself, as it can be reversed by soaking of the pretreated muscle sections in sodium cyanide or the Cu2+ chelator diethyldithiocarbamate. The pattern of modification of the staining pattern following pretreatment with Cu2+ is the mirror image of that produced by pretreatment with acid. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of Cu2+ in the preincubation media for the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase can be a useful tool to differentiate fiber types. They also support the earlier conclusion that three distinct types of type II fibers can be identified in rat skeletal muscle based on the histochemical staining for myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase. 相似文献

Differentiation of fiber types in skeletal muscle from the sequential inactivation of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase during acid preincubation 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A method is described for identifying fiber types of skeletal muscle from several mammalian species on the basis of the sequential inactivation of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase during acid preincubation. When this method is used in combination with the standard alkaline preincubation at least 5 types of fibers can be identified. Of these, 2 are type I fibers with those of the slow twitch soleus muscle being different from those that exist in mixed muscles. The 3 subtypes of type II fibers exist independent of their metabolic properties. The need for careful standardization of histochemical methods for the visualization of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase and the implication of the existence of different fiber types in apparently homogeneous muscle for the preparation of antibodies used for immunocytochemical methods of fiber identification are discussed. 相似文献

Postmortem alterations in the pH range of myofibrillar ATPase activation/inactivation 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
A histochemical assay for myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (mATPase) activity is routinely utilized in the delineation of fiber types in healthy human skeletal muscle. Each fiber type has a specific pH range of mATPase stability (activation). Outside of this pH range, mATPase activity is labile (inactivated), no reaction product is formed, and the fibers remain unstained. The aim of the present study was to carefully investigate the pH stability/lability of mATPase in postmortem muscles. To this end, vastus lateralis muscle samples were obtained approximately 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 days after death, as well as control samples from a healthy young man and woman. Serial cross sections of the muscle samples were assayed for mATPase activity throughout preincubation pH ranges of 4.15-4.7 and 10.2-10.5 in increments of 0.05 pH units. Myosin heavy chain analysis (as well as a regression analysis comparing fiber type area and relative myosin heavy chain content) verified the mATPase-based fiber types. The pH ranges of mATPase stability/lability for the control samples were as previously reported, and support the use of preincubation pH values of 4.3, 4.6, and 10.4 for the delineation of fiber types in normal human muscle. For the postmortem samples, both quantitative and qualitative changes altered the pH ranges of mATPase activation/inactivation. Quantitative changes consisted of a time-dependent loss of mATPase activity that was inhibited in all fibers outside the pH range of 4.15-10.50. In addition, qualitative changes caused "shifts to the left" in mATPase stability within the fast fiber types (IIA and IIB). As such, complete inhibition of mATPase activity did not occur until preincubation at pH 4.45 and pH 4.30 for fiber types IIA and IIB, respectively. For the postmortem vastus lateralis muscle samples, optimal preincubation pH values for mATPase-based fiber type delineation were pH 4.30, 4.45, and 10.35. The reason for these qualitative changes in mATPase stability is not known. However, postmortem changes such as increased lactate production and marked acidification may play a role. 相似文献

Influence of ionic composition,buffering agent,and pH on the histochemical demonstration of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The influence of the composition of the preincubation medium on the histochemical demonstration of myofibrillar actomyosin
ATPase, including a variety of carboxylic acid and non-carboxylic acid buffering compounds and neutral salts, was studied.
In inorganic salt-free systems the rate of the activation of type I fibers and inactivation of type II fibers was accelerated
when the carboxylic acids had longer chain length or multiple carobxyl groups. Of these factors, the number of carboxyl groups
was dominant with a 100 mM citrate buffer producing a sharp differentiation between fiber types. In contrast, the time course
of the response was exceptionally long in an acetate buffer. The time course of the ATPase reaction was also modified by other
buffers at pH 4.60. The most notable were an ascorbate — glycine buffer system which produced little or no deviation from
the alkaline preincubation staining pattern after prolonged preincubation and a pyrophosphate system which produced a rapid
change. Neutral salts in the preincubation medium accelerated the time course of the inactivation — activation process with
the order for the halogen salts of K+ being F−<Cl−<Br−<I−, which is a progression by molecular weight. The only sequence for cations on the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase was Li+< Na+<K+. The response to salts was concentration dependent. An interaction existed between buffering compound, type of salt, and
pH. These experiments demonstrate that the histochemical differentiation of fiber types by the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase
reaction depends upon a modification of some component(s) of the myofibrillar complex that can be influenced by a number of
factors. 相似文献

Summary Electrophoresis of myosin extracts from larvae and adult tissues ofDrosophila melanogaster under non-dissociating conditions indicate that two of the bands seen are myosins. They stain for Ca2+ ATPase activity and when cut and re-run under dissociating conditions are found to contain a myosin heavy chain that co-migrates with rabbit skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain. One of the forms of myosin seen is found primarily in extracts from the leg. The other is common to the adult fibrillar flight muscles and the larval body wall muscles.The electrophoretic evidence for two myosin types is strengthened by the histochemical demonstration of two myofibrillar ATPases on the basis of their lability to acid or alkali preincubation. The myofibrillar ATPase in the leg and the Tergal Depressor of the Trochanter (TDT) are shown to be relatively acid labile and alkali stable. The larval body wall muscles and the adult fibrillar flight muscles have an ATPase which is acid stable and alkali labile. This distribution of the two myofibrillar ATPase coincides with that predicted by electrophoresis of extracts from whole tissue and also locates the two myosins to specific muscle types. 相似文献

Correlation between myofibrillar ATPase activity and myosin heavy chain composition in single human muscle fibers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary Single human muscle fibers were analysed using a combination of histochemical and biochemical techniques. Routine myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (mATPase) histochemistry revealed a continuum of staining intensities between the fast fiber types IIA and IIB (type IIAB fibers) after preincubation at pH 4.6. Electrophoretic analysis of single, histochemically-identified fibers demonstrated a correlation between the staining intensity and the myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition. All fibers classified as type I contained exclusively MHCI and all type IIA fibers contained only MHCIIa. Type IIAB fibers displayed variable amounts of both MHCIIa and MHCIIb; the greater the staining intensity of these fibers after preincubation at pH 4.6, the greater the percentage of MHCIIb. Those fibers histochemically classified as type IIB contained either entirely MHCIIb or, in addition to MHCIIb, a small amount of MHCIIa. These data establish a correlation between the mATPase activity and MHC content in single human muscle fibers. 相似文献

Using glutaric dialdehyde, the muscle proteins myosin, actin, actomyosin and heavy meromyosin subfragment-1 (S-1) have been immobilized on capron fibers. The ATPase activity of myosin and its capability to interact with actin have been preserved whereas the ATPase activity of its subfragment decreased significnatly. Immobilization on capron fibers changes the pH dependence of the ATPase activity of myosin and of S-1 shifting the maximum towards the acid zone (pH 5.5) and increases the thermal stability of the enzyme. Calcium ions produce a stimulatory effect on ATPase; Mg2+ions yield no effect on myosin and S-1 but enhance the activity in the case of immobilized actomyosin though to a lesser degree than the ions of Ca2+. Immobilized actin retains its ability to form actomyosin complex. 相似文献

Influence of electrical stimulation on the morphological and metabolic properties of paralyzed muscle. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Selected morphological and metabolic properties of single fibers were studied in biopsy samples from the tibialis anterior of normal control and spinal cord-injured (SCI) subjects. In the SCI subjects, one muscle was electrically stimulated progressively over 24 wk, in 6-wk blocks for less than or equal to 8 h/day, while the contralateral muscle remained untreated. The percentage of fibers classified as type I [qualitative alkaline preincubation myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase)] was significantly less in the unstimulated paralyzed muscles than in the muscles of normal control subjects. Electrical stimulation increased the proportion of type I fibers in the SCI subjects. For both type I and type II fibers, the cross-sectional area, activities of myofibrillar ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase, and the capillary-to-fiber ratio were also significantly less in the paralyzed muscles than in the normal control muscles. Electrical stimulation increased only the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in both fiber types of the SCI subjects. These data are discussed in relation to the electromechanical properties of the respective muscles described in an accompanying paper (J. Appl. Physiol. 72: 1393-1400, 1992). In general, the electrical stimulation protocol used in this study enhanced the oxidative capacity and endurance properties of the paralyzed muscles but had no effect on fiber size and strength. 相似文献

Rats were used in this study to determine the time course of conversion of muscle fiber types. The right or left gastrocnemius muscle was removed thereby causing an overload on the ipsilateral soleus and plantaris muscles. The contralateral limb served as a control. The type II to type I fiber conversion was followed histochemically in the soleus and plantaris muscles for one to six weeks following surgery. Muscle sections were stained for myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase and NADH tetrazolium reductase. The type I population in the soleus muscle was 99.3% six weeks after synergist removal. The plantaris muscle underwent a two fold increase in the percentage of type I fibers after six weeks. Transitional fibers were prominent in the plantaris muscle and reached their peak at 4% (P less than 0.05) of the total population, four weeks after surgery. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle fiber types classified on the basis of their content of different myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms were analyzed in samples from hindlimb muscles of adult sedentary llamas (Lama glama) by correlating immunohistochemistry with specific anti-MHC monoclonal antibodies, myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase) histochemistry, and quantitative histochemistry of fiber metabolic and size properties. The immunohistochemical technique allowed the separation of four pure (i.e., expressing a unique MHC isoform) muscle fiber types: one slow-twitch (Type I) and three fast-twitch (Type II) phenotypes. The same four major fiber types could be objectively discriminated with two serial sections stained for mATPase after acid (pH 4.5) and alkaline (pH 10.5) preincubations. The three fast-twitch fiber types were tentatively designated as IIA, IIX, and IIB on the basis of the homologies of their immunoreactivities, acid denaturation of their mATPase activity, size, and metabolic properties expressed at the cellular level with the corresponding isoforms of rat and horse muscles. Acid stability of their mATPase activity increased in the rank order IIA>IIX>IIB. The same was true for size and glycolytic capacity, whereas oxidative capacity decreased in the same rank order IIA>IIX>IIB. In addition to these four pure fibers (I, IIA, IIX, and IIB), four other fiber types with hybrid phenotypes containing two (I+IIA, IIAX, and IIXB) or three (IIAXB) MHCs were immunohistochemically delineated. These frequent phenotypes (40% of the semitendinosus muscle fiber composition) had overlapped mATPase staining intensities with their corresponding pure fiber types, so they could not be delineated by mATPase histochemistry. Expression of the three fast adult MHC isoforms was spatially regulated around islets of Type I fibers, with concentric circles of fibers expressing MHC-IIA, then MHC-IIX, and peripherally MHC-IIB. This study demonstrates that three adult fast Type II MHC isoproteins are expressed in skeletal muscle fibers of the llama. The general assumption that the very fast MHC-IIB isoform is expressed only in small mammals can be rejected. 相似文献

Motor units in the cat diaphragm (DIA) were isolated in situ by microdissection and stimulation of C5 ventral root filaments. Motor units were classified based on their isometric contractile force responses and fatigue indexes (FI). The muscle fibers belonging to individual units (i.e., the muscle unit) were identified using the glycogen-depletion method. Fibers were classified as type I or II based on histochemical staining for myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) after alkaline preincubation. The rate of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity of each fiber was determined using a microphotometric procedure. The location of capillaries was determined from muscle cross sections stained for ATPase after acid (pH = 4.2) preincubation. The capillarity of muscle unit fibers was determined by counting the number of capillaries surrounding fibers and by calculating the number of capillaries per fiber area. A significant correlation was found between the fatigue resistance of DIA units and the mean SDH activity of muscle unit fibers. A significant correlation was also observed between DIA unit fatigue resistance and both indexes of muscle unit fiber capillarity. The mean SDH activity and mean capillary density of muscle unit fibers were also correlated. We conclude that DIA motor unit fatigue resistance depends, at least in part, on the oxidative capacity and capillary density of muscle unit fibers. 相似文献

Myofibrillar ATPase histochemistry of rat skeletal muscles: a "two-dimensional" quantitative approach 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In histochemical investigations of skeletal muscle, the fibers are commonly classified into three types according to their staining for myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase). In serial sections of skeletal muscles from normal Wistar rats, we compared two common staining methods for mATPase: (a) an ac-ATPase technique, with pre-incubation at pH 4.7, and (b) a fixed alk-ATPase technique, using treatment with 5% paraformaldehyde followed by pre-incubation at pH 10.4. In addition, the same fibers were stained in subsequent serial sections for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity. Staining intensities were objectively evaluated by microphotometric measurements of optical density. Combining both mATPase methods in consecutive serial sections ("two-dimensional approach") led to the identification of four distinct clusters of fibers: Types I, IIA, and two subgroups of Type IIB, as separated by their staining densities for fixed alk-ATPase (IIBd dark, IIBm moderate). The mean intensity of SDH staining per fiber type, as measured in the central core of the fibers, was ranked such that IIA greater than I greater than IIBd greater than IIBm. The analyzed muscles (tibialis anterior, biceps brachii) were markedly heterogeneous with respect to the topographic distribution of different fiber types. In comparison to other muscle portions, the regions containing Type I fibers ("red" portions) showed a higher IIBd vs IIBm ratio and more intense SDH staining for either subtype of the IIB fibers. The IIBd fibers probably correspond to the Type 2X fibers of Schiaffino et al. 相似文献

The effects of reduced activity (immobilisation) on the development of the contractile enzyme, Mg2+-activated myofibrillar ATPase was studied in a tonic muscle, the anterior latissimus dorsi and in a phasic muscle, the posterior latissimus dorsi of the chicken. Mg2+-activated myofibrillar ATPase activity showed a decreased and delayed activity peak in both the immobilised muscles. Large differences between the two muscles were observed using this marker enzyme. These data indicate that the activity of Mg2+-activated myofibrillar ATPase and the associated differential gene expression involved in fibre type differentiation are influenced by the early activity pattern of the muscles. 相似文献

The histochemical activities of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPD) were studied in intrafusal muscle fibres of rat fast and slow muscles. The ATPase reaction was carried out after the three standard acid preincubations. The cold K2-EDTA preincubated ATPase reaction product was similar to that seen following the regular or alkali-preincubated ATPase reaction, except that the intermediate bag fibres exhibited much higher activity after cold K2-EDTA preincubation. Following either acetic acid solution or cold and room temperature K2-EDTA-preincubation, followed by the ATPase reaction, chain fibres of the fast muscles vastus lateralis and extensor digitorum longus exhibited a very low amount of reaction product as compared with those of the slow soleus. Veronal acetate and K2-EDTA preincubations (and equally preincubation in acetic acid solution) resulted in acid stable ATPase activity along the entire length of the typical bag fibres but only in the polar regions of the intermediate bag fibres. On the basis of differing alpha-GPD reaction, two sub populations of nuclear chain fibres were discovered in one spindle. It is a matter of conjecture, to what extent the histochemical differences of intrafusal fibres from fast and slow muscles reflects functional distinctions in the response to stretch of muscle spindles from fast and slow muscles. 相似文献

Myosin types in human skeletal muscle fibers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
By combining enzyme histochemistry for fiber typing with immunohistochemistry for slow and fast myosin a correlation between fiber type and myosin type was sought in human skeletal muscle. Fiber typing was done by staining for myofibrillar ATPases after preincubation at discriminating pH values. Myosin types were discriminated using type specific anti-rabbit myosin antibodies shown to cross-react with human myosin and were visualized by a protein A-peroxidase method. Type I fibers were shown to contain slow myosin only, type IIA and IIB fibers fast myosin only, and type IIC fibers both myosins in various proportions. When muscle biopsies from well-trained athletes were investigated essentially the same staining pattern was observed. However, rarely occurring type I fibers with high glycolytic activity were detected containing additional small amounts of fast myosin and occasional type IIA fibers had small amounts of slow myosin. Based on the observation of various fiber types in which slow and fast myosin coexist we propose a dynamic continuum of fibers encompassing all fiber types. 相似文献
