Analysis of myosin heavy chain mRNA expression by RT-PCR.
An assay was developed for rapid and sensitive analysis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA expression in rodent skeletal muscle. Only 2 microg of total RNA were necessary for the simultaneous analysis of relative mRNA expression of six different MHC genes. We designed synthetic DNA fragments as internal standards, which contained the relevant primer sequences for the adult MHC mRNAs type I, IIa, ...
متن کاملCoexpression of Myosin Heavy Chain 2b with Myosin Heavy Chain 1- Fact or Artefact
In skeletal muscle, pure fibres expressing one myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform, and intermediate fibres, expressing two and exceptionally three MyHCs have been described. When skeletal muscle adapts its fibre type profile to changed functional demands MyHC isoform transformation follows the pathway: MyHC-1 ↔ MyHC-2a ↔ MyHC-2x/d ↔ MyHC-2b. Therefore, in hybrid fibres only successive isoforms f...
متن کاملMyosin heavy chain mRNA transform to faster isoforms in immobilized skeletal muscle: a quantitative PCR study.
A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to measure the quantities of type I, IIa, IIx, and IIb myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA in total RNA preparations of the soleus, gastrocnemius, and plantaris muscles of normal and hindlimb-immobilized rats. Type IIx and even type IIb MHC mRNA were demonstrated at extremely low levels in normal soleus, 2.1 +/- 0.4 x 10(5) and 5.0 +/- 0....
متن کاملEffect of creatine on contents of myosin heavy chain and myosin-heavy-chain mRNA in steady-state chicken muscle-cell cultures.
Embryonic-chick muscle cells reach a steady state with respect to protein metabolism after approx. 1 week in cell culture. To determine if this steady state could be altered by the administration of agents that have been reported to stimulate myosin heavy-chain synthesis, 7-day muscle-cell cultures were treated with 0-1 mM-creatine. Incorporation of [3H]leucine into myosin heavy chain was stimu...
متن کاملEffect of Porcine Akirin2 on Skeletal Myosin Heavy Chain Isoform Expression
Akirin2 plays an important role in skeletal myogenesis. In this study, we found that porcine Akirin2 (pAkirin2) mRNA level was significantly higher in fast extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and longissimus lumborum (LL) muscles than in slow soleus (SOL) muscle of pigs. Overexpression of pAkirin2 increased the number of myosin heavy chain (MHC)-positive cells, indicating that pAkirin2 promoted myo...
