An attempt was made to determine whether or not the concentration of NFATc1 (nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 1) in nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts is related to an increase in the concentration of fibers containing type IIa myosin heavy chains under modeled gravitational unloading of m. soleus. Experiments were carried out on Wistar rats using the Morey-Holton tail suspension model. It was found that the soleus contains three isoforms of NFATc1 (140, 110, and 86 kDa). Under unloading, the 140-kDa isoform is translocated into the nucleus, the concentration of the 110-kDa isoform in the cytoplasmic extract decreases, and the concentration of the 86-kDa isoform in the nuclear extract increases. Under gravitational unloading of the muscle, the concentration of fibers containing type IIa myosin heavy chains increases. The increase in the concentration of the 140-and 86-kDa NFATc1 isoforms in the nucleus is accompanied by a decrease in the fraction of muscle fibers containing type I myosin heavy chains and an increase in the fraction containing type IIa chains. 相似文献

It was determined whether the content of NFATc1 (nuclear factor of activation of T cells) in the nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts is related to an increase in the content of fibers containing type IIa myosin heavy chains under gravitational unloading of m. soleus. It was found that three isoforms of NFATc1 with molecular masses of 140, 110, and 86 kDa are present in m. soleus. Under unloading, the translocation of 140 kDa NFATc1 into the nucleus, a decrease in the content of 110 kDa NFATc1 in the cytoplasmic extract of m. soleus, and an increase in the content of 86 kDa NFATc1 in the nuclear extract of m. soleus take place. The content of fibers containing type IIa myosin heavy chains under gravitational unloading increases. The increase in the level of 140 and 86 kDa NFATc1 in the nucleus is accompanied by a decrease in the percentage of fibers containing type I myosin heavy chains and an increase in the percentage of muscle fibers containing type IIa myosin heavy chains. 相似文献

It had been hypothesized and recently shown that the exposure to gravitational unloading brought out to sufficient accumulation of Ca2+ in the myoplasm of soleus muscle fibers. Some authors believe that this dramatic Ca2+ accumulation induces the muscle protein degradation (including cytoskeletal proteins) by means of Ca 2(+)-activated proteases. For instance, the loss of giant sarcomeric cytoskeletal protein titin which is believed to determine the elasticity properties of muscle fibers, may contribute to the fiber stiffness decrease under unloading conditions. The study was designed to test the hypothesis suggesting that intracellular Ca2+ binding by means of EDTA administration would allow to attenuate hypogravity-induced atrophic changes including changes in myofibrillar proteins of skeletal muscle fibers. 相似文献

After 2 or 4 mo of bed rest (6 degrees head-down tilt) and 1 mo of ambulation, there was a tendency toward a higher percentage of fibers expressing fast myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and a de novo appearance of fibers coexpressing type I+IIa+IIx and IIa+IIx MHC in human soleus fibers. After 2 and 4 mo of bed rest, the mean size of type I fibers decreased by 12 (P > 0.05) and 39%, respectively. Because myonuclear number/mm of fiber length was unchanged, myonuclear domain was smaller after bed rest than before. The mean size and myonuclear domain of type I fibers were largest after 1 mo of recovery. The effects of wearing an antigravity device (Penguin suit), which had a modest but continuous resistance at the knee and ankle (Penguin-1) or knee resistance without loading on the ankle (Penguin-2), for 10 consecutive h/day were determined during 2 mo of bed rest. Mean fiber sizes in Penguin-1, but not Penguin-2, group were maintained at or above pre-bed-rest levels, whereas neither group showed phenotype changes. Myonuclear domain in type I fibers was larger in Penguin-1 and smaller in Penguin-2 group post- compared with pre-bed rest, indicating that a single daily 10-h bout of modest muscle loading can prevent bed-rest-induced soleus fiber atrophy but has minimal effect on myosin phenotype. The specific adaptive cellular strategies involved may be a function of the duration and magnitude of the adaptive stimulus as well as the immediate activity history of the fiber before the newly changed functional demands. 相似文献

Three adult skeletal muscle sarcomeric myosin heavy chain (MHC) genes have been identified in the rat, suggesting that the expressed native myosin isoforms can be differentiated, in part, on the basis of their MHC composition. This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the five major native isomyosins [3 fast (Fm1, Fm2, Fm3), 1 slow (Sm), and 1 intermediate (Im)], typically expressed in the spectrum of adult rat skeletal muscles comprising the hindlimb, could be further differentiated on the basis of their MHC profiles in addition to their light chain composition. Results show that in muscles comprised exclusively of fast-twitch glycolytic (FG) fibers and consisting of Fm1, Fm2, and Fm3, such as the tensor fasciae latae, only one MHC, designated as fast type IIb, could be resolved. In soleus muscle, comprised of both slow-twitch oxidative and fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers and expressing Sm and Im, two MHC bands were resolved and designated as slow/cardiac beta-MHC and fast type IIa MHC. In muscles expressing a mixture of all three fiber types and a full complement of isomyosins, as seen in the plantaris, the MHC could be resolved into three bands. Light chain profiles were characterized for each muscle type, as well as for the purified isomyosins. These data suggest that Im (IIa) consists of a mixture of fast and slow light chains, whereas Fm (IIb) and Sm (beta) isoforms consist solely of fast- and slow-type light chains, respectively. Polypeptide mapping of denatured myosin extracted from muscles expressing contrasting isoform phenotypes suggests differences in the MHC primary structure between slow, intermediate, and fast myosin isotypes. These findings demonstrate that 1) Fm, Im, and Sm isoforms are differentiated on the bases of both their heavy and light chain components and 2) each isomyosin is distributed in a characteristic fashion among rat hindlimb skeletal muscles. Furthermore, these data suggest that the ratio of isomyosins in a given muscle or muscle region is of physiological importance to the function of that muscle during muscular activity. 相似文献

Muscle LIM protein is upregulated in fast skeletal muscle during transition toward slower phenotypes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Muscle LIM protein (MLP) is constitutively expressed in slow, but undetectable in fast, muscles of the rat. Here we show that MLP was upregulated at both the mRNA and protein levels under experimental conditions leading to transitions from fast to slower phenotypes. Chronic low-frequency stimulation and mechanical overloading by synergist removal both induced fast-to-slow shifts in myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and expression of MLP in fast muscles. High amounts of MLP mRNA and protein were also present in fast muscles of the myotonic, hyperactive ADR mouse. Hypothyroidism evoked shifts in myosin composition toward slower isoforms and increased the MLP protein content of soleus (SOL) muscle but failed to induce MLP in fast muscles. Unweighting by hindlimb suspension elicited slow-to-fast transitions in MHC expression without altering MLP levels in SOL muscle. Hyperthyroidism shifted the MHC pattern toward faster isoforms but did not affect MLP content in SOL muscle. We conclude that alterations in MLP expression are associated with transitions from fast to slower phenotypes but not with slow-to-fast muscle fiber transitions. 相似文献

The concentration of calcium ions in soleus muscle fibers in Mongolian gerbils and rats has been shown to increase for the
first day of gravitational load by 4.5 and 2.8 times, respectively, compared to the control. This increase is preserved for
3 days, while, after 12 days, it decreases, but remains above the control level. The resting calcium level in the control
in gerbils is lower than in rats and, as a consequence, its change for the first day of unloading is greater. It is possible
that this leads to earlier changes in the muscle fiber isoform composition in gerbils; a statistically significant shift in
the ratio of fibers that contain fast and slow calcium pumps towards pumping faster is noted as early as the first day, while
that of fibers that express the corresponding isoforms of myosin heavy chains (MHCs) is observed after 3 days of functional
unloading. In rats, similar changes are revealed as late as on the 7th day. After 12 days, in both species, a tendency to
return to the control level is observed that is more pronounced in gerbil. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the unloading of skeletal muscle, as occurring during exposure to space flight, exerts a profound effect on both the mass (cross sectional area) of skeletal muscle fibers and the relative expression of protein isoforms comprising the contractile system. Available information suggests that slow (type I) fibers, comprising chiefly the antigravity muscles of experimental animals, in addition to atrophying, undergo alterations in the type of myosin heavy chain (MHC) expressed such that faster isoforms become concomitantly expressed in a sub-population of slow fibers when insufficient force-bearing activity is maintained on the muscle. Consequently, these transformations in both mass and myosin heavy chain phenotype could exert a significant impact on the functional properties of skeletal muscle as manifest in the strength, contractile speed, and endurance scope of the muscle. To further explore these issues, a study was performed in which young adult male rats were exposed to zero gravity for six days, following which, the antigravity soleus muscle was examined for a) contractile properties, determined in situ and b) isomyosin expression, as studied using biochemical, molecular biology, and histochemical/immunohistochemical techniques. 相似文献

The present study examined Ca(2+) sensitivity of diaphragm muscle (Dia(m)) fibers expressing different myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. We hypothesized that Dia(m) fibers expressing the MHC(slow) isoform have greater Ca(2+) sensitivity than fibers expressing fast MHC isoforms and that this fiber-type difference in Ca(2+) sensitivity reflects the isoform composition of the troponin (Tn) complex (TnC, TnT, and TnI). Studies were performed in single Triton-X-permeabilized Dia(m) fibers. The Ca(2+) concentration at which 50% maximal force was generated (pCa(50)) was determined for each fiber. SDS-PAGE and Western analyses were used to determine the MHC and Tn isoform composition of single fibers. The pCa(50) for Dia(m) fibers expressing MHC(slow) was significantly greater than that of fibers expressing fast MHC isoforms, and this greater Ca(2+) sensitivity was associated with expression of slow isoforms of the Tn complex. However, some Dia(m) fibers expressing MHC(slow) contained the fast TnC isoform. These results suggest that the combination of TnT, TnI, and TnC isoforms may determine Ca(2+) sensitivity in Dia(m) fibers. 相似文献

Our objective was to determine the effects of a clenbuterol (CB) treatment orally administered (2 mg per kg) to rats submitted to 14 days of hindlimb unloading (HU). The morphological and the contractile properties as well as the myosin heavy chain isoforms contained in each fiber type were determined in whole soleus muscles. As classically described after HU, a decrease in muscle wet weight and in body mass associated with a loss of muscular force, an evolution of the contractile parameters towards those of a fast muscle type, and the emergence of fast myosin heavy chain isoforms were observed. The CB treatment in the HU rats helped reduce the decrease in 1) muscle and body weights, 2) force and 3) the proportion of slow fibers, without preventing the emergence of fast myosin isoforms. Clenbuterol induced a complex remodelling of the muscle typing promoting the combination of both slow and fast myosin isoforms within one fiber. To conclude, our data demonstrate that CB administration partially counteracts the effects produced by HU, and they allow us to anticipate advances in the treatment of muscular atrophy. 相似文献

We analyzed the fiber-type composition of the soleus muscle in rats and mice to determine whether the adult proportion of fiber types is fixed soon after birth or whether it changes during postnatal maturation. We examined muscles from animals varying in age from 1 week to 1 year using monoclonal antibodies that distinguish between fast and slow isoforms of myosin heavy chains. In cross sections of unfixed muscle containing profiles of all myofibers in the muscle, we counted the fibers that stained with antibodies to fast myosin, and in adjacent sections, those that stained positive with an antibody to slow myosin. We also counted the total number of fibers in each section. Rat soleus contained about 2500 myofibers, and mouse about 1000 at all ages studied, suggesting that myogenesis ceases in soleus by 1 week after birth or sooner. In mouse soleus, the relative proportions of fibers staining positive with fast and slow myosin antibodies were similar at all ages studied, about 60%–70% being fast and 30%–40% slow. In rat soleus, however, the proportions of fast antibody-positive and slow antibody-positive fibers changed dramatically during postnatal maturation. At 1 week after birth, about 50% of rat soleus fibers stained with fast myosin antibodies, whereas between 1 and 2 months this value fell to about 10%. In mouse, about 10% of fibers at 1 week, but none at 1 year, reacted with both fast and slow antibodies, whereas in rat, fewer than 3% bound both antibodies to a significant degree at 1 week. It is puzzling why, in rat soleus, the majority of apparently fast fibers present at 1 week is converted to a slow phenotype, whereas in mouse soleus the predominant change appears to be the suppression of fast myosin expression in a subset of fibers that expresses both myosin types at 1 week. It is possible that this may be related to differences in size and the amount of body growth between these two species. 相似文献

Chronic reduction of gravitational load in the rear limbs of rats to simulate the influence of near-zero gravity in skeletal muscles has been shown previously to elicit atrophy in the soleus muscle. Use of this model by the present investigation indicates that soleus atrophy was characterized by a decline in the number of fibers in groups that contained the slow isoenzyme of myosin and which were classified as type I from intensity of staining to myofibrillar actomyosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) and to NADH tetrazolium reductase. Furthermore total fiber number was not changed, whereas fibers containing the intermediate isoenzyme and those classified as type IIa increased. There results could be explained by either a change in the composition within existing fibers or a simultaneous loss of slow fibers and de novo synthesis of intermediate and fast fibers. Evidence for transformation included an absence of embryonic or neonatal myosin in muscles from suspended rats and the constant fiber number that was unchanged by 4 wk of suspension. Furthermore although fiber areas of both groups of type I and IIa fibers declined during suspension, variability of the fiber areas within each group did not increase. 相似文献

We used Ca2+-activated skinned muscle fibers to test the hypothesis that unilateral lower leg suspension (ULLS) alters cross-bridge mechanisms of muscle contraction. Soleus and gastrocnemius biopsies were obtained from eight subjects before ULLS, immediately after 12 days of ULLS (post-0 h), and after 6 h of reambulation (post-6 h). Post-0 h soleus fibers expressing type I myosin heavy chain (MHC) showed significant reductions in diameter, absolute and specific peak Ca2+-activated force, unloaded shortening velocity, and absolute and normalized peak power. Fibers obtained from the gastrocnemius were less affected by ULLS, particularly fibers expressing fast MHC isoforms. Post-6 h soleus fibers produced less absolute and specific peak force than did post-0 h fibers, suggesting that reambulation after ULLS induced cell damage. Like bed rest and spaceflight, ULLS primarily affects soleus over gastrocnemius fibers. However, in contrast to these other models, slow soleus fibers obtained after ULLS showed a decrease in unloaded shortening velocity and a greater reduction in specific force. 相似文献

The effects of two different duration spaceflights on the extent of atrophy, fiber type composition, and myosin heavy chain
(MHC) content of rat soleus muscles were compared. Adult male Fisher rats (n=12) were aboard flight STS-57 and exposed to 10 days of microgravity and adult ovariectomized female Spraque-Dawley rats
(n=12) were aboard flight STS-62 for 14 days. Soleus muscles were bilaterally removed from the flight and control animals and
frozen for subsequent analyses. Muscle wet weights, fiber types (I, IC, IIC, and IIA), cross-sectional area, and MHC content
were determined. Although a significant difference was found between the soleus wet weights of the two ground-based control
groups, they were similar with regard to MHC content (ca 90% MHCI and ca 10% MHCIIa) and fiber type composition. Unloading
of the muscles caused slow-to-fast transformations which included a decrease in the percentage of type I fibers and MHCI,
an increase in fibers classified as type IC, and the expression of two fast myosin heavy chains not found in the control rat
soleus muscles (MHCIId and MHCIIb). Although the amount of atrophy (ca 26%) and the extent of slow-to-fast transformation
(decrease in the percentage of MHCI from 90% to 82.5%) in the soleus muscles were similar between the two spaceflights, the
percentages of the fast MHCs differed. After 14 days of spaceflight, the percentage of MHCIIa was significantly lower and
the percentages of MHCIId and MHCIIb were significantly higher than the corresponding MHC content of the soleus muscles from
the 10-day animals. Indeed, MHCIId became the predominant fast MHC after 14 days in space. These data suggest fast-to-faster
transformations continued during the longer spaceflight.

Structural and functional changes in Mongolian gerbil soleus fibers were analyzed after a 31-day hindlimb suspension. Contractile properties of muscle fibers were studied by means of tensometry; the transversal stiffness of different parts of the contractile apparatus was measured by atomic force microscopy, resting calcium level was estimated by fluorescence microscopy by using Fluo-4-AM; cytoskeletal protein content was determined by western blotting. It was shown that after gravitational unloading the maximal force of contraction and specific tension of fiber were significantly reduced, as well as calcium sensitivity actually lowered. At the same time, the transversal stiffness of Z-disk in the relaxed and activated state was decreased significantly compared to the control group. Desmin content was at the control level, but alpha-actinin-2, main structural protein of Z-disk, became considerably less after a 31-day hindlimb suspension. Besides, resting calcium level remained at control values during the simulated gravitational unloading. The data suggest that Z-disk destruction, as a result of alpha-actinin-2 content reduction, leads to changes in the lattice spacing and decreases contractile properties. 相似文献
