This study investigates to what extent the expression of the slow myosin heavy chain (MyHCI) isoform and the slow type sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) isoform are co-regulated in fibers of regenerating skeletal soleus muscle. Both overexpression of cain, a calcineurin inhibitor, or partial tenotomy prevented the expression of MyHCI but left SERCA2a expression unaffected in fibers of regenerating soleus muscles. These data complement those from different experimental models and clearly show that the expression of MyHCI and SERCA2a--the major proteins mediating, respectively, the slow type of contraction and relaxation--are not coregulated in regenerating soleus muscle.  相似文献

Myosin isozymes and their fiber distribution were studied during regeneration of the soleus muscle of young adult (4-6 week old) rats. Muscle degeneration and regeneration were induced by a single subcutaneous injection of a snake toxin, notexin. If reinnervation of the regenerating muscle was allowed to occur (functional innervation nearly complete by 7 days), then fiber diameters continued to increase and by 28 days after toxin treatment they attained the same values as fibers in the contralateral soleus. If the muscles were denervated at the time of toxin injection, the early phases of regeneration still took place but the fibers failed to continue to increase in size. Electrophoresis of native myosin showed multiple bands between 3 and 21 days of regeneration which could be interpreted as indicating the presence of embryonic, neonatal, fast and slow myosins in the innervated muscles. Adult slow myosin became the exclusive from in innervated regenerates. In contrast, adult fast myosin became the predominant form in denervated regenerating muscles. Immunocytochemical localization of myosin isozymes demonstrated that in innervated muscles the slow form began to appear in a heterogeneous fashion at about 7 days, and became the major form in all fibers by 21-28 days. Thus, the regenerated muscle was almost entirely composed of slow fibers, in clear contrast to the contralateral muscle which was still substantially mixed. In denervated regenerating muscles, slow myosin was not detected biochemically or immunocytochemically whereas fast myosin was detected in all denervated fibers by 21-28 days. The regenerating soleus muscle therefore is clearly different from the developing soleus muscle in that the former is composed of a uniform fiber population with respect to myosin transitions. Moreover the satellite cells which account for the regeneration process in the soleus muscle do not appear to be predetermined with respect to myosin heavy chain expression, since the fibers they form can express either slow or fast isoforms. The induction of the slow myosin phenotype is entirely dependent on a positive, extrinsic influence of the nerve.  相似文献

The sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATP-ase (SERCA) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) levels were measured in hindlimb-denervated and selectively denervated rat soleus muscles. Selective denervation allowed passive movement of the soleus, whereas hindlimb denervation rendered it to passivity. To minimize chronic effects, we followed the changes only for 2 weeks. Selective denervation resulted in less muscle atrophy, a faster slow-to-fast transition of MyHC isoforms, and less coordinated expressions of the slow vs fast isoforms of MyHC and SERCA. Generally, expression of the slow-twitch type SERCA2a was found to be less dependent, whereas the slow-twitch type MyHC1 was the most dependent on innervation. Our study shows that passive movement is able to ameliorate denervation-induced atrophy of the soleus and that it also accentuates the dyscoordination in the expression of the corresponding slow and fast isoforms of MyHC and SERCA.

The level of active subunit of calcineurin and the calcineurin (Cn) enzyme activity are increased in innervated but not in denervated slow type regenerating skeletal soleus muscle. These nerve-dependent increases were not accompanied by similar increases in the mRNA levels. The changes in the mRNA level of the modulatory calcineurin interacting protein, MCIP1.4, reflected the calcineurin activity and did not increase in denervated regenerating muscles compared to the innervated regenerating controls. The increases in Cn activity and in MCIP1.4 mRNA levels occurred before the switch from fast to slow-type myosin heavy chain isoforms, a phenomenon similarly known to be dependent on innervation. This highlights the role of mediators, acting between the nerve and calcineurin, in the formation of slow fiber identity.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies were prepared to stage-specific chicken pectoral muscle myosin heavy chain isoforms. From comparison of serial sections reacted with these antibodies, the myosin heavy chain isoform composition of individual myofibers was determined in denervated pectoral muscle and in regenerating myotubes that developed following cold injury of normal and denervated muscle. It was found that the neonatal myosin heavy chain reappeared in most myofibers following denervation of the pectoral muscle. Regenerating myotubes in both innervated and denervated muscle expressed all of the myosin heavy chain isoforms which have thus far been characterized in developing pectoral muscle. However, the neonatal and adult myosin heavy chains appeared more rapidly in regenerating myotubes compared to myofibers in developing muscle. While the initial expression of these isoforms in the regenerating areas was similar in innervated and denervated muscles, the neonatal myosin heavy chain did not disappear from noninnervated regenerating fibers. These results indicate that innervation is not required for the appearance of fast myosin heavy chain isoforms, but that the nerve plays some role in the repression of the neonatal myosin heavy chain.  相似文献

Isometric twitch characteristics and biochemical parameters of isolated myosin and sarcoplasmic reticulum have been compared in three cat hind limb muscles. The fast twitch caudofemoralis and the slow twitch soleus are almost pure muscles as judged from histochemical studies. Isolated myosin from the caudofemoralis is not only 2- to 3-fold higher in its ATPase activities than that of the soleus, but also in non-dissociated forms has greater electrophoretic mobility than the soleus myosin. Purified myosins from fast muscles as well as soleus exhibited three light chains upon electrophoresis. However, the intact non-solubilized myosins differed in electrophoretic mobilities. The sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction isolated from caudfemoralis exhibits faster rates of Ca++ binding and uptake than soleus, and when fit to a two component model, the caudofemoralis SR exhibits a higher amount of a fast binding site than does soleus SR, features reflected in differences in the relaxation time of the two muscles. In contrast, the fast twitch tibialis anterior has been shown to be a gradient of fiber types and its isometric twitch may be separated by selective nerve stimulation, into a fast and a slow twitch component. Our findings that myosin fractions, as well as sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions isolated from these two components differ with respect to their biochemical characteristics add support to the possibility of a dual function in this muscle.  相似文献

The neonatal isoform of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 1 (SERCA1b) is a dominant Ca2+ pump in the young fibers of regenerating muscle. In vivo transfection of about 1% of the fibers with SERCA1b RNAi plasmid resulted in no apparent change in the transfected fibers, but enhanced the increase of fresh weight and fiber size in the whole regenerating rat soleus muscle, until the normal size was reached. Co-transfection of calcineurin inhibitor cain/cabin-1 with SERCA1b RNAi was sufficient to cut down the widespread growth stimulation, but the subsequent transfection of cain into the SERCA1b RNAi transfected muscle did not inhibit muscle growth. The SERCA1b RNAi preferably upregulated the expression of the NFAT reporter lacZ compared to controls when co-transfected into the fibers. Notably, perimuscular injection of interleukin-4 (IL-4) antibody but not that of an unrelevant antibody completely abolished the growth-promoting effect of SERCA1b RNAi. This indicates that silencing SERCA1b in a few fibers stimulates the calcineurin-NFAT-IL-4 pathway and fiber growth in the whole regenerating soleus. These results suggest the presence of an autocrine–paracrine coordination of growing muscle fibers, and put forward a new method to stimulate skeletal muscle regeneration.  相似文献

This study investigated the effects of L-thyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism on Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase II)-mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) protein phosphorylation, SR Ca2+ pump (Ca2+-ATPase) activity, and contraction duration in slow-twitch soleus muscle of the rabbit. Phosphorylation of Ca2+-ATPase and phospholamban (PLN) by endogenous CaM kinase II was found to be significantly lower (30–50%) in soleus of the hyperthyroid compared with euthyroid rabbit. Western blotting analysis revealed higher levels of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) 1 (150%) Ca2+ pump isoform, unaltered levels of SERCA2 Ca2+ pump isoform, and lower levels of PLN (50%) and -, -, and -CaM kinase II (40 70%) in soleus of the hyperthyroid rabbit. SR vesicles from hyperthyroid rabbit soleus displayed approximately twofold higher ATP-energized Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities compared with that from euthyroid control. The Vmax of Ca2+ uptake (in nmol Ca2+·mg SR protein–1·min–1: euthyroid, 818 ± 73; hyperthyroid, 1,649 ± 90) but not the apparent affinity of the Ca2+-ATPase for Ca2+ (euthyroid, 0.97 ± 0.02 µM, hyperthyroid, 1.09 ± 0.04 µM) differed significantly between the two groups. CaM kinase II-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by soleus muscle SR was 60% lower in the hyperthyroid compared with euthyroid. Isometric twitch force of soleus measured in situ was significantly greater (36%), and the time to peak force and relaxation time were significantly lower (30–40%), in the hyperthyroid. These results demonstrate that thyroid hormone-induced transition in contractile properties of the rabbit soleus is associated with coordinate downregulation of the expression and function of PLN and CaM kinase II and selective upregulation of the expression and function of SERCA1, but not SERCA2, isoform of the SR Ca2+ pump. calmodulin kinase II; phospholamban ; calcium ion-adenosinetriphosphatase; sarcoplasmic reticulum  相似文献

The developmentalexpression of tissue-specific isoforms ofcytochrome-c oxidase(COX) subunit VIII [heart (COX VIII-H) and liver (COXVIII-L)] and the influence of innervation were examined inregenerating fast [extensor digitorum longus (EDL)] andslow (soleus) muscles. In adult muscles, COX VIII-H was the predominant isoform. The COX VIII-L mRNA was expressed 3 days after induction ofregeneration, and it progressively decreased after 7, 10, 14, and 30 days of regeneration in both muscles. In contrast, the expression ofCOX VIII-H mRNA accumulated as myogenesis proceeded to the myotubestage between 7 and 10 days of regeneration and progressively increasedto near control levels by 30 days. The influence of innervation on theexpression of COX VIII and -actin isoforms wasexamined in control, innervated, and denervatedregenerating muscles at 3 and 10 days. The relative expression of COXVIII-L mRNA in denervated regenerating EDL muscles was significantly greater, while that of COX VIII-H was significantlyless than in innervated regenerating EDL muscles after 10 days ofregeneration. Similarly, cardiac -actin mRNA levelswere elevated in denervated regenerating EDL muscles after 10 days ofregeneration. In conclusion, motor innervation influences thetransition from the COX VIII-L to COX VIII-H isoform during myogenesisin regenerating muscles.

The regeneration of adult rat and mouse slow (soleus) and fast (sternomastoid) muscles was examined after the degeneration of myofibers had been achieved by a snake venom cardiotoxin, under experimental conditions devised to spare as far as possible the satellite cells, the nerves, and the blood vessels of the muscles. Three days after the injury, no myosin was detectable in selected portions of the muscles. New myosins of embryonic, neonatal, and adult types started to be synthesized during the following two days. Adult myosins thus appeared more precociously than in development, which implies that the synthesis of myosin isoforms during regeneration does not entirely 'recapitulate' the sequence of myosin transitions observed during normal development. Two weeks after the injury, the isomyosin electrophoretic pattern displayed by regenerated muscles was already the same as that of control muscles; the normal adult pattern was therefore expressed more rapidly in regenerating than in developing muscles. Except for the synthesis of the slow isoform which was generally inhibited in denervated muscles, the same types of myosins were expressed during the early stages of regeneration in denervated as in innervated muscles; long-term denervation prevented however the qualitative and quantitative recovery of the normal myosin pattern.  相似文献

A Study of the Reinnervation of Fast and Slow Mammalian Muscles   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9       下载免费PDF全文
Miniature end plate potential (mepp) frequency in innervated extensor muscle is significantly higher than in soleus muscle. 9 days after nerve crush mepps of low amplitude and prolonged duration reappeared at a frequency of 2% of control and were similar to normal muscles after 35 days. Membrane potential began to increase 9–10 days after nerve crush and at 30 days was similar to controls. The region most sensitive to ACh in denervated and reinnervated muscles was the end plate. Caffeine (20 mM, 23°C) induced contracture in innervated soleus but not in extensor muscles. After denervation the extensor became sensitive to caffeine while the soleus muscles decreased in sensitivity to the drug; 4–5 days after reinnervation the effect of caffeine on these muscles was similar to control. The events during reinnervation are: (a) reappearance of mepps at the same time as end plate potential and muscle twitch; (b) partial restoration of the membrane potential; (c) return of caffeine-induced contracture to normal levels in the soleus and its absence in the extensor muscles; (d) return of membrane resistance to normal values in both muscles at about 25 days; and (e) return of ACh-sensitivity to control levels at about 30 days in both muscles. Although these results suggest that the membrane potential and sarcoplasmic reticulum are under neural influence, it remains to be established whether or not separate neurotrophic factors are involved.  相似文献

Adenylyl cyclase expression and modulation of cAMP in rat taste cells   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The present study determined Ca2+ handling in the hearts of rats subjected to chronic hypoxia (CH). Spectrofluorometry was used to measure intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and its responses to electrical stimulation, caffeine, and isoproterenol in myocytes from the right ventricle of rats breathing 10% oxygen for 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56 days and age-matched controls. The protein expression of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and its ryanodine receptor (RyR) were measured. The uptake of 45Ca2+ by SERCA, release by RyR, and extrusion by Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX) were determined. It was found that Ca2+ homeostasis and Ca2+ responses to -adrenoceptor stimulation reached a new equilibrium after 4 wk of CH. Ca2+ content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was reduced, but cytosolic Ca2+ remained unchanged after CH. Expression of SERCA and its Ca2+ uptake, Ca2+ release via RyR, and NCX activity were suppressed by CH. The results indicate impaired Ca2+ handling, which may be responsible for the attenuated Ca2+ responses to -adrenoceptor stimulation in CH. intracellular calcium ion concentration; calcium-adenosinetriphosphatase; ryanodine receptor; sodium/calcium exchange; sarcoplasmic reticulum; -adrenoceptor; chronic hypoxia  相似文献

The main purpose of this study was to directly quantify the relative contribution of Ca2+ cycling to resting metabolic rate in mouse fast (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and slow (soleus) twitch skeletal muscle. Resting oxygen consumption of isolated muscles (VO2, µL/g wet weight/s) measured polarographically at 30°C was ~20% higher (P<0.05) in soleus (0.326 ± 0.022) than in EDL (0.261 ± 0.020). In order to quantify the specific contribution of Ca2+ cycling to resting metabolic rate, the concentration of MgCl2 in the bath was increased to 10 mM to block Ca2+ release through the ryanodine receptor, thus eliminating a major source of Ca2+ leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and thereby indirectly inhibiting the activity of the sarco(endo) plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs). The relative (%) reduction in muscle VO2 in response to 10 mM MgCl2 was similar between soleus (48.0±3.7) and EDL (42.4±3.2). Using a different approach, we attempted to directly inhibit SERCA ATPase activity in stretched EDL and soleus muscles (1.42x optimum length) using the specific SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, up to 160 µM), but were unsuccessful in removing the energetic cost of Ca2+ cycling in resting isolated muscles. The results of the MgCl2 experiments indicate that ATP consumption by SERCAs is responsible for 40–50% of resting metabolic rate in both mouse fast- and slow-twitch muscles at 30°C, or 12–15% of whole body resting VO2. Thus, SERCA pumps in skeletal muscle could represent an important control point for energy balance regulation and a potential target for metabolic alterations to oppose obesity.  相似文献

We hypothesized that activation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) by preconditioning, which is known to confer delayed cardioprotection, attenuates the impaired handling of Ca2+ at multiple sites. To test the hypothesis, we determined how the ryanodine receptor (RyR), sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) handled Ca2+ in rat ventricular myocytes preconditioned with a -opioid receptor agonist, U50488H (UP), followed by blockade of HSP70 with a selective antisense oligonucleotide and subsequently subjected to simulated ischemia. We determined the following: 1) the Ca2+ transients induced by electrical stimulation and caffeine, which provide the overall picture of Ca2+ homeostasis; 2) expression of RyR, SERCA, and NCX; and 3) Ca2+ fluxes via NCX by the use of 45Ca2+ in the rat ventricular myocyte. We found that UP increased the activity of RyR, SERCA, and NCX and the expression of RyR and SERCA. These effects led to increases in the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via RyR and in the removal of Ca2+ from the cytoplasm by reuptake of Ca2+ to the SR via SERCA and by extrusion of Ca2+ out of the cell via NCX. UP also reduced mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation. All of the effects of UP were either abolished or significantly attenuated by blockade of HSP70 synthesis with a selective antisense oligonucleotide. The results are evidence that activation of HSP70 by preconditioning improves the ischemia-impaired Ca2+ homeostasis at multiple sites in the heart, which may be responsible, at least partly, for attenuated Ca2+ overload, improved recovery in contractile function, and cardioprotection. intracellular Ca2+, -opioid receptor; Na+/Ca2+ exchanger; ryanodine receptor; sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase  相似文献

A missense mutation in ATP2A1 gene, encoding sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA1) protein, causes Chianina cattle congenital pseudomyotonia, an exercise-induced impairment of muscle relaxation. Skeletal muscles of affected cattle are characterized by a selective reduction of SERCA1 in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. In this study, we provide evidence that the ubiquitin proteasome system is involved in the reduced density of mutated SERCA1. The treatment with MG132, an inhibitor of ubiquitin proteasome system, rescues the expression level and membrane localization of the SERCA1 mutant in a heterologous cellular model. Cells co-transfected with the Ca2+-sensitive probe aequorin show that the rescued SERCA1 mutant exhibits the same ability of wild type to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis within cells. These data have been confirmed by those obtained ex vivo on adult skeletal muscle fibers from a biopsy from a pseudomyotonia-affected subject. Our data show that the mutation generates a protein most likely corrupted in proper folding but not in catalytic activity. Rescue of mutated SERCA1 to sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane can re-establish resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and prevent the appearance of pathological signs of cattle pseudomyotonia.  相似文献

Using a single, mechanically skinned fiber approach, we tested the hypothesis that denervation (0 to 50 days) of skeletal muscles that do not overlap in fiber type composition [extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles of Long-Evans hooded rats] leads to development of different fiber phenotypes. Denervation (50 day) was accompanied by 1) a marked increase in the proportion of hybrid IIB/D fibers (EDL) and I/IIA fibers (SOL) from 30% to >75% in both muscles, and a corresponding decrease in the proportion of pure fibers expressing only one myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform; 2) complex muscle- and fiber-type specific changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-loading level at physiological pCa 7.1, with EDL fibers displaying more consistent changes than SOL fibers; 3) decrease by 50% in specific force of all fiber types; 4) decrease in sensitivity to Ca2+, particularly for SOL fibers (by 40%); 5) decrease in the maximum steepness of the force-pCa curves, particularly for the hybrid I/IIA SOL fibers (by 35%); and 6) increased occurrence of biphasic behavior with respect to Sr2+ activation in SOL fibers, indicating the presence of both slow and fast troponin C isoforms. No fiber types common to the two muscles were detected at any time points (day 7, 21, and 50) after denervation. The results provide strong evidence that not only neural factors, but also the intrinsic properties of a muscle fiber, influence the structural and functional properties of a particular muscle cell and explain important functional changes induced by denervation at both whole muscle and single cell levels. mechanically skinned fibers; myosin heavy chain isoforms; lineage; sarcoplasmic reticulum; Ca2+; Sr2+ sensitivity; Long-Evans hooded rat  相似文献

In muscle, ATP is required for the powerstroke of the myosin head, the detachment of actin and myosin filaments, and the reuptake of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. During contraction-relaxation, large amounts of ATP are consumed at the sites of action of the myosin-ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The present study addresses the consequences of a reduction in mitochondrial ATP production capacity on sarcoplasmic Ca2+ handling. To this end, myotubes were cultured from patient quadriceps with a biochemically defined decrease in the maximal rate of mitochondrial ATP production and were loaded with indo 1 for imaging of sarcoplasmic Ca2+ changes in real time by confocal microscopy. Myotubes were field-stimulated with 10-ms pulses of 16 V to evoke transient rises in sarcoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]S). Three single pulses, two pulse trains (1 Hz), and one single pulse were applied in succession to mimic changing workloads. Control myotubes displayed [Ca2+]S transients with an amplitude that was independent of the strength of the stimulus. Intriguingly, the rate of sarcoplasmic Ca2+ removal (CRR) was significantly upregulated during the second and subsequent transients. In myotubes with a reduced mitochondrial ATP production capacity, the amplitude of the [Ca2+]S transients was markedly increased at higher stimulus intensities. Moreover, upregulation of the CRR was significantly decreased compared with control. Taken together, these results are in good agreement with a tight coupling between mitochondrial ATP production and sarcoplasmic Ca2+ handling. Moreover, they support the existence of a relatively long-lasting mitochondrial memory for sarcoplasmic [Ca2+] rises. This memory, which manifested itself as an increase in CRR upon recurrent stimulation, was impaired in patient myotubes with a reduced mitochondrial ATP production capacity. sarcoplasmic Ca2+ removal; video-rate imaging; indo 1; electrical stimulation; mitochondrial memory  相似文献

Denervation potentiated the cooling-induced contractures and the halothane-cooling contractures of isolated extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles of the mouse. These effects were more striking in extensor digitorum longus than in soleus muscles. Significant increases in the peak amplitudes of the halothane-cooling contractures of both muscles and of the cooling contractures of soleus muscle were observed within 2 and 7 days of denervation. The potentiation of the contractures persisted for 90 days, the period of this study. Denervation (greater than 2 days) endowed extensor digitorum longus with the ability to generate cooling contractures in the absence of halothane. The rate of tension development of cooling-induced contractures in the absence or presence of halothane was significantly greater in denervated (2-90 days) than in innervated muscles. Denervation also reduced the effectiveness of procaine in inhibiting the halothane-cooling contractures. It is proposed that the potentiation of cooling-induced contractures in denervated muscles results primarily from an increase in the rate of efflux and in the quantity of Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, upon cooling and (or) when challenged with halothane.  相似文献
