Involvement of MicroRNAs in the Regulation of Muscle Wasting during Catabolic Conditions*
Loss of muscle proteins and the consequent weakness has important clinical consequences in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, chronic heart failure, and in aging. In fact, excessive proteolysis causes cachexia, accelerates disease progression, and worsens life expectancy. Muscle atrophy involves a common pattern of transcriptional changes in a small subset of genes named atrophy-related genes o...
متن کاملMuscle Wasting and IL - 6
Muscle wasting is a common feature of systemic inflammation and malignant diseases. The primary cause is accelerated proteolysis. Protein degradation was found to be accelerated by IL-6 with activation of intracellular proteases in C2C12 myotubes. IL-6 transgenic mice displayed extensive muscle wasting together with an increase of proteolytic pathways. The increase in activities and mRNA levels...
متن کاملAcute skeletal muscle wasting in critical illness.
IMPORTANCE Survivors of critical illness demonstrate skeletal muscle wasting with associated functional impairment. OBJECTIVE To perform a comprehensive prospective characterization of skeletal muscle wasting, defining the pathogenic roles of altered protein synthesis and breakdown. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Sixty-three critically ill patients (59% male; mean age: 54.7 years [95% CI...
متن کاملCalpain activity and muscle wasting in sepsis.
Muscle wasting in sepsis reflects activation of multiple proteolytic mechanisms, including lyosomal and ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent protein breakdown. Recent studies suggest that activation of the calpain system also plays an important role in sepsis-induced muscle wasting. Perhaps the most important consequence of calpain activation in skeletal muscle during sepsis is disruption of the sarc...
متن کاملThe Role of microRNA in Cancer Cachexia and Muscle Wasting: A Review Article
Almost half of cancer patients experience cachexia syndrome. Cachexic patients are at risk of increased side effects of chemotherapy, reduced tolerance to chemotherapy drugs, longer duration of treatment period, and decreased quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), a “non-coding RNA”, is considered to be a risk factor of cachexia and muscle...
