Mitochondrial and performance adaptations to exercise training in mice lacking skeletal muscle LKB1.
LKB1 and its downstream targets of the AMP-activated protein kinase family are important regulators of many aspects of skeletal muscle cell function, including control of mitochondrial content and capillarity. LKB1 deficiency in skeletal and cardiac muscle (mLKB1-KO) greatly impairs exercise capacity. However, cardiac dysfunction in that genetic model prevents a clear assessment of the role of ...
متن کاملIncreased susceptibility to fatigue of slow- and fast-twitch muscles from mice lacking the MG29 gene.
Mitsugumin 29 (MG29), a major protein component of the triad junction in skeletal muscle, has been identified to play roles in the formation of precise junctional membrane structures important for efficient signal conversion in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. We carried out several experiments to not only study the role of MG29 in normal muscle contraction but also to determine its role ...
متن کاملMuscle-specific deletion of exons 2 and 3 of the IL15RA gene in mice: effects on contractile properties of fast and slow muscles.
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a putative myokine hypothesized to induce an oxidative skeletal muscle phenotype. The specific IL-15 receptor alpha subunit (IL-15Rα) has also been implicated in specifying this contractile phenotype. The purposes of this study were to determine the muscle-specific effects of IL-15Rα functional deficiency on skeletal muscle isometric contractile properties, fatigue cha...
متن کاملMice lacking alpha-synuclein are resistant to mitochondrial toxins.
Abnormalities in the function of alpha-synuclein are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We found that alpha-synuclein-deficient mice are resistant to MPTP-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. There was dose-dependent protection against loss of both dopamine in the striatum and dopamine transporter (DAT) immunoreactive neurons in the substantia nigra. These effe...
متن کاملCellular adaptations of skeletal muscles to cyclosporine.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the cellular response of the diaphragm, extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and soleus (Sol) muscles to clinically relevant doses of cyclosporine administered to male rats over 4 wk. Control rats were provided with vehicle only. Muscle fiber types, cross-sectional areas, indexes of capillarity, and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity were determined by quan...
