It is well established that a rise in circulating thyroid hormone during the second half of chick embryo development significantly influences muscle weight gain and bone growth. We studied thyroid influence on differentiation in slow anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) and fast posterior latissimus dorsi (PLD) muscles of embryos rendered hypothyroid by hypophysectomy or administration of an anti-thyroid drug. The expression of native myosins and myosin light chains (MLCs) was studied by electrophoretic analysis, and the myosin heavy chain (MHC) was characterized by immunohistochemistry. The first effects of hypothyroid status were observed at day 21 of embryonic development (stage 46 according to Hamburger and Hamilton). Analysis of myosin isoform expression in PLD muscles of hypothyroid embryos showed persistence of slow migrating native myosins and slow MLCs as well as inhibition of neonatal fast MHC expression, indicating retarded differentiation of this muscle. In ALD muscle, hypothyroidism maintained fast embryonic MHC and induced noticeable amounts of fast MLCs, thus delaying slow muscle differentiation. Our results suggest that thyroid hormones play a role in modulating the appearance of neonatal fast MHC and the disappearance of isomyosins transiently present during embryogenesis. However, T3 supplemental treatment would seem to compensate in part for the effects of hypothyroidism induced by hypophysectomy, suggesting that thyroid hormone might interfere with other factors also accounting for the observed effects. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle is known to be a target for the active metabolite of thyroid hormone, i.e., 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T(3)). T(3) acts by repressing or activating genes coding for different myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms via T(3) receptors (TRs). The diverse function of T(3) is presumed to be mediated by TR-alpha(1) and TR-beta, but the function of specific TRs in regulating MHC isoform expression has remained undefined. In this study, TR-deficient mice were used to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms by which T(3) regulates the expression of specific MHC isoforms via distinct TRs. In fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle, TR-alpha(1)-, TR-beta-, or TR-alpha(1)beta-deficient mice showed a small but statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) of type IIB MHC content and an increased number of type I fibers. In the slow-twitch soleus, the beta/slow MHC (type I) isoform was significantly (P < 0. 001) upregulated in the TR-deficient mice, but this effect was highly dependent on the type of receptor deleted. The lack of TR-beta had no significant effect on the expression of MHC isoforms. An increase (P < 0.05) of type I MHC was observed in the TR-alpha(1)-deficient muscle. A dramatic overexpression (P < 0.001) of the slow type I MHC and a corresponding downregulation of the fast type IIA MHC (P < 0.001) was observed in TR-alpha(1)beta-deficient mice. The muscle- and fiber-specific differences in MHC isoform expression in the TR-alpha(1)beta-deficient mice resembled the MHC isoform transitions reported in hypothyroid animals, i.e., a mild MHC transition in the EDL, a dramatic but not complete upregulation of the beta/slow MHC isoform in the soleus, and a variable response to TR deficiency in different soleus muscle fibers. Thus the consequences on muscle are similar in the absence of thyroid hormone or absence of thyroid hormone receptors, indicating that TR-alpha(1) and TR-beta together mediate the known actions of T(3). However, it remains unknown how thyroid hormone exerts muscle- and muscle fiber-specific effects in its action. Finally, although developmental MHC transitions were not studied specifically in this study, the absence of embryonic and fetal MHC isoforms in the TR-deficient mice indicates that ultimately the transition to the adult MHC isoforms is not solely mediated by TRs. 相似文献

The myosin heavy chain (MHC) was studied by biochemical methods in the slow-twitch (soleus) and two fast-twitch leg muscles of the triiodothyronine treated (hyperthyroid), thyroidectomized (hypothyroid) and euthyroid (control) rats. The changes in the contents of individual MHC isoforms(MHC-1, MHC-2A, MHC-2B and MHC-2X) were evaluated in relation to the muscle mass and the total MHC content. The MHC-1 content decreased in hyperthyreosis, while it increased in hypothyreosis in the soleus and in the fast muscles. The MHC-2A content increased in hyperthyreosis and it decreased in hypothyreosis in the soleus muscle. In the fast muscles hyperthyreosis did not affect the MHC-2A content, whereas hypothyreosis caused an increase in this MHC isoform content. The MHC-2X, present only in traces or undetected in the control soleus muscle, was synthesised in considerable amount in hyperthyreosis; in hypothyreosis the MHC-2X was not detected in the soleus. In the fast muscles the content of MHC-2X was not affected by any changes in the thyroid hormone level. The MHC-2B seemed to be not influenced by hyperthyreosis in the fast muscles, whereas the hypothyreosis caused a decrease of its content. In the soleus muscle the MHC-2B was not detected in any groups of rats. The results suggest that the amount of each of the four MHC isoforms expressed in the mature rat leg muscles is influenced by the thyroid hormone in a different way. The MHC-2A and the MHC-2X are differently regulated in the soleus and in the fast muscles; thyroid hormone seems to be necessary for expression of those isoforms in the soleus muscle. 相似文献

The primary objective of this study was to follow the developmental time course of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform transitions in single fibers of the rodent plantaris muscle. Hypothyroidism was used in conjunction with single-fiber analyses to better describe a possible linkage between the neonatal and fast type IIB MHC isoforms during development. In contrast to the general concept that developmental MHC isoform transitions give rise to muscle fibers that express only a single MHC isoform, the single-fiber analyses revealed a very high degree of MHC polymorphism throughout postnatal development. In the adult state, MHC polymorphism was so pervasive that the rodent plantaris muscles contained approximately 12-15 different pools of fibers (i.e., fiber types). The degree of polymorphism observed at the single-fiber level made it difficult to determine specific developmental schemes analogous to those observed previously for the rodent soleus muscle. However, hypothyroidism was useful in that it confirmed a possible link between the developmental regulation of the neonatal and fast type IIB MHC isoforms. 相似文献

We have raised monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to myosin heavy chain isoforms (MHCs) that have specific patterns of temporal expression during the development of quail pectoral muscle and that are expressed in very restricted, tissue-specific patterns in adult birds. We find that an early embryonic, a perinatal, and an adult-specific, fast myosin heavy chain are co-expressed at different levels in the pectoral muscle of 8-12 day quail embryos. The early embryonic MHC disappears from the pectoral muscle at approximately 14 days in ovo, whereas the perinatal MHC persists until 26 days post-hatching. The adult-specific MHC accumulates preferentially and eventually completely replaces the other isoforms. These Mabs cross-react with the homologous isoforms of the chick and detect a similar pattern of MHC expression in the pectoral muscle of developing chicks. Although the early embryonic and perinatal MHC isoforms recognized by our Mabs are expressed in the pectoral muscle only during distinct developmental stages, our Mabs also recognize MHC isoforms present in the heart and extraocular muscle of adult quail. Immunofingerprinting using Staphylococcus aureus protease V8 suggests that the early embryonic and perinatal MHC isoforms that we see are strongly homologous with the adult ventricular and extraocular muscle isoforms, respectively. These observations suggest that at least three distinct MHC isoforms, which are normally expressed in adult muscles, are co-expressed during the early development of the pectoral muscle in birds. In this respect, the pattern of expression of the MHCs recognized by our Mabs in developing, fast muscle is very similar to the patterns described for other muscle contractile proteins. 相似文献

Muscle phenotype is determined by combined effects of intrinsic genetic and extrinsic factors like innervation, hormonal levels and mechanical factors or muscle activity. We have been studying the effect of altered thyroid hormone levels on the expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in control and regenerating soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles of euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid female inbred Lewis rats. The fiber type composition has been determined according to the mATPase activity and immunocytochemical staining of MyHC isoforms, the content of MyHC isoforms has been determined by SDS-PAGE, the mRNA levels have been measured by RT-PCR and the ultrastructural transformation has been analyzed by electron-microscopy. Our results indicate that although the innervation plays a decisive role in the determination of muscle phenotype, levels of thyroid hormones contribute to the extent of muscle phenotype transformation. 相似文献

Vertebrate myosin heavy chains (MHC) are represented by multiple genes that are expressed in a spatially and temporally distinct pattern during development. In order to obtain molecular probes for developmentally regulated human MHC isoforms, we used monoclonal antibodies to screen an expression cDNA library constructed from primary human myotube cultures. A 3.4 kb cDNA was isolated that encodes one of the first MHCs to be transcribed in human skeletal muscle development. A portion of the corresponding gene encoding this isoform has also been isolated. Expression of this embryonic MHC is a hallmark of muscle regeneration after birth and is a characteristic marker of human muscular dystrophies. During normal human development, expression is restricted to the embryonic period of development prior to birth. In primary human muscle cell cultures, devoid of other cell types, mRNA accumulation begins as myotubes form, reaches a peak 2 days later and declines to undetectable levels within 10 days. The expression of the protein encoded by the embryonic skeletal MHC gene follows a similar time course, lagging behind the mRNA by approximately two days. Thus, expression of the human embryonic gene is efficiently induced and then repressed in cultured muscle cells, as it is in muscle tissue. The study of the regulation of a human MHC isoform with a central role in muscle development and in muscle regeneration in disease states is therefore amendable to analysis at a molecular level. 相似文献

During normal development, rainbow trout undergo a shift in red muscle contraction kinetics and swimming kinematics. Young trout parr have faster muscle kinetics and faster tailbeat frequency during swimming than older, larger juvenile trout. In this study, the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T(4)) was used to induce these changes in trout parr. This allowed a comparison of swimming kinematics, through the use of video analysis and electromyography, and red muscle contractile properties, through the use of in vitro muscle preparations, between natural parr and same-sized induced juveniles. The red muscle of natural parr has faster contractile properties than induced juveniles, including faster twitch time and a faster maximum shortening velocity (V(max)). Further, natural parr swim with faster tailbeat frequencies than induced juveniles. The results suggest that the natural shift in red muscle contraction kinetics observed during parr-smolt transfomation in trout directly affects swimming behavior in these fish. Also, thyroid hormones appear to induce a shift towards slower isoforms of the muscle protein myosin heavy chain (MHC), a result distinct from work on rats where thyroid hormones induce shifts towards faster forms of MHC.

In embryonic development, differentiation consists in the modification of a fraction of the genes into a form irreversibly blocked from expression. In fetal development, there are further differentiation phenomena, often representing the selective expression of isogenes or members of a gene family. These subdifferentiations are reversibly determined by functional influences exerted by the nervous system and by hormones. The myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isogene family is a favorable case for such studies. In skeletal muscle, the MHC type is regulated by the innervation determining the myonal types slow (S) and fast (F). In the heart, the isoforms MHC and are regulated by thyroid hormone (TH). The details depend on the species. While TH always promotes , the euthyroid state can be either or , the latter being the rule. In skeletal S and F types, the reversibility of regulation is demonstrated by the nerve-crossing experiment, which causes a reciprocal SF and FS reprogramming; this requires months, even years to be completed. Such reprogrammings are pleiotropic, affecting a number of type characteristics, which eventually reach a new functional harmony. Ongoing work is described on the question of whether the nerve communicates its influence by impulse patterns or by determinant substances. 相似文献

Developmental changes in actin and myosin heavy chain isoform expression in smooth muscle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Smooth muscle cells express isoforms of actin and myosin heavy chains (MHC). In early postnatal animals the nonmuscle (NM) actin and MHC isoforms in vascular (aorta) smooth muscle were present in relatively high percentages. More than 30% of the MHC and 40% of the actin isoforms were NM. The relative percentage of the NM isoforms decreased significantly as the animals reached maturity, with NM MHC less than 10% and NM actin less than 30% of the totals. Concurrent with this decrease in NM isoforms was an increase in the smooth muscle (SM) isoforms. The relative changes and time frame in which these changes occurred were very similar for the actin and MHC isoforms. In arterial tissue there were species differences for changes with development in the two SM MHC isoforms (SM1 and SM2). The ratio of SM1:SM2 in young rat aorta was approximately 0.5, while this same ratio was approximately 3 in young swine carotid. Both adult rats and swine had a SM1:SM2 MHC ratio of approximately 1.2. Rat bladder smooth muscle showed no significant change in NM vs SM ratio between young and old rats, while the SM1:SM2 ratio decreased from 2.7 to 1.7 between these age groups. The shifts in alpha and beta actin were similar to those in the vascular tissue, but of much smaller magnitude. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle contains various muscle fiber types exhibiting different contractile properties based on the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform profile. Muscle fiber type composition is highly variable and influences growth performance and meat quality, but underlying mechanisms regulating fiber type composition remain poorly understood. The aim of the present work was to develop a model based on muscle satellite cell culture to further investigate the regulation of adult MyHC isoforms expression in pig skeletal muscle. Satellite cells were harvested from the mostly fast-twitch glycolytic longissimus (LM) and predominantly slow-twitch oxidative rhomboideus (RM) muscles of 6-week-old piglets. Satellite cells were allowed to proliferate up to 80% confluence, reached after 7 day of proliferation (D7), and then induced to differentiate. Kinetics of proliferation and differentiation were similar between muscles and more than 95% of the cells were myogenic (desmin positive) at D7 with a fusion index reaching 65±9% after 4 day of differentiation. One-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that satellite cells from both muscles only expressed the embryonic and fetal MyHC isoforms in culture, without any of the adult MyHC isoforms that were expressed in vivo. Interestingly, triiodothyronine (T3) induced de novo expression of adult fast and α-cardiac MyHC in vitro making our culture system a valuable tool to study de novo expression of adult MyHC isoforms and its regulation by intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors. 相似文献

Myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression by intrafusal fibers was studied by immunocytochemistry to determine how closely it parallels MHC expression by extrafusal fibers in the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles of the rat. Among the MHC isoforms expressed in extrafusal fibers, only the slow-twitch MHC of Type 1 extrafusal fibers was expressed along much of the fibers. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) specific for this MHC bound to the entire length of bag2 fibers and the extracapsular region of bag1 fibers. The fast-twitch MHC isoform strongly expressed by bag2 and chain fibers had an epitope not recognized by MAb to the MHC isoforms characteristic of developing muscle fibers or the three subtypes (2A, 2B, 2X) of Type 2 extrafusal fibers. Therefore, intrafusal fibers may express a fast-twitch MHC that is not expressed by extrafusal fibers. Unlike extrafusal fibers, all three intrafusal fiber types bound MAb generated against mammalian heart and chicken limb muscles. The similarity of the fast-twitch MHC of bag2 and chain fibers and the slow-tonic MHC of bag1 and bag2 fibers to the MHC isoforms expressed in avian extrafusal fibers suggests that phylogenetically primitive MHCs might persist in intrafusal fibers. Data are discussed relative to the origin and regional regulation of MHC isoforms in intrafusal and extrafusal fibers of rat hindlimb muscles. 相似文献

Immunochemical studies have identified a distinct myosin heavy chain (MHC) in the chicken embryonic skeletal muscle that was undetectable in this muscle in the posthatch period by both immunocytochemical and the immunoblotting procedures. This embryonic isoform, identified by antibody 96J, which also recognises the cardiac and SM1 myosin heavy chains, differs from the embryonic myosin heavy chain belonging to the fast class described previously. Although the fast embryonic isoform is a major species present in the leg and pectoral embryonic muscles, slow embryonic isoform was present in significant amounts during early embryonic development. Immunocytochemical studies using another monoclonal antibody designated 9812, which is specific for SM1 MHC, showed this isoform to be restricted to only presumptive slow muscle cells. From these studies and those reported on the changes in SM2 MHC, it is proposed that as is the case for the fast class, there also exists a slow class of myosin heavy chains composed of slow embryonic, SM1 and SM2 isoforms. The differentiation of a muscle cell involves transitions in a series of myosin isozymes in both presumptive fast and slow skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

Exercise training can improve strength and lead to adaptations in the skeletal muscle and nervous systems. Skeletal muscles can develop into two types: fast and slow, depending on the expression pattern of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. Previous studies reported that exercise altered the distribution of muscle fiber types. It is not currently known what changes in the expression of caveolins and types of muscle fiber occur in response to the intensity of exercise. This study determined the changes in expression of caveolins and MHC type after forced exercise in muscular and non-muscular tissues in rats. A control (Con) group to which forced exercise was not applied and an exercise (Ex) group to which forced exercise was applied. Forced exercise, using a treadmill, was introduced at a speed of 25 m/min for 30 min, 3 times/day (07:00, 15:00, 23:00). Homogenized tissues were applied to extract of total RNA for further gene analysis. The expression of caveolin-3 and MHC2a in the gastrocnemius muscle of female rats significantly increased in the Ex group compared with the Con group (P<0.05). Furthermore, in the gastrocnemius muscle of male rats, the expression of MHC2x was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). There was an increased expression in caveolin-3 and a slightly decreased expression in TGFβ-1 in muscular tissues implicating caveolin-3 influences the expression of MHC isoforms and TGFβ-1 expression. Eventually, it implicates that caveolin-3 has positive regulatory function in muscle atrophy induced by neural dysfunction with spinal cord injury or stroke. 相似文献
