Changes in skeletal muscle heat shock proteins: pathological significance.
In response to stress, cells rapidly produce a series of new proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSP). HSPs are considered to be molecular chaperones which play a universal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. It is known that different HSPs are expressed in skeletal muscle, namely, small HSPs (including ubiquitin, alpha B- crystallin, HSP20 and HSP 27), HSP70, HSP60 and HSP90. Skeletal...
متن کاملLysosomes in Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Postnuclear supernates from homogenates of skeletal muscle from rats subjected to starvation, injections of Triton WR-1339, dextran-500, and dextran + corticosterone were fractionated by means of rate and isopycnic zonal centrifugation in sucrose-0.02 M KCl gradients. Zonal fractions were analyzed for protein, RNA, cytochrome oxidase, and up to six acid hydrolases. The results indicate the pres...
متن کاملExchangeability of tissue potassium in skeletal muscle.
RENKIN, EUGENE M. Exchangeability of tissue potassium in skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 1g7(6): I~II-12 15. I g5g.-The quantity of ‘rapidly exchanging’ Kf in isolated, skeletal muscles of dogs was determined by measuring the back-diffusion of K42 during perfusion with blood containing this isotopic tracer. This quantity was not constant, but varied from da/$ to 88y0 of the total tissue K+. Th...
متن کاملAdvances in skeletal muscle tissue engineering.
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering is a promising interdisciplinary specialty which aims at the reconstruction of skeletal muscle loss caused by traumatic injury congenital defects or tumor ablations. Due to the difficulty in procuring donor tissue, the possibilities for alternative treatment like autologous grafting (e.g. muscle flaps) are limited. This process also presents consistent problem...
متن کاملExpression of myoferlin in skeletal muscles of patients with dysferlinopathy.
Myoferlin is a novel protein of unknown function with high homology to dysferlin, the gene mutations of which cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi myopathy. The myoferlin gene seems to be a candidate for the modifier, and because of the high homology to dysferlin myoferlin may work as a compensator for the absence of dysferlin in dysferlinopathy. This hypothesis is based on ...
