Skeletal muscle fibers: Inactivated or depleted after long depolarizations?
517 C o m m e n t a r y Skeletal muscle consists of large multinucleated fibers that rapidly contract in response to action potentials generated in their surface membrane. The fiber's con tractile apparatus is activated by Ca 2+ ions that are re leased into the cytoplasm from an extensive intracellular storage compartment, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), in response to the action potential. ...
متن کاملEffective fiber hypertrophy in satellite cell-depleted skeletal muscle.
An important unresolved question in skeletal muscle plasticity is whether satellite cells are necessary for muscle fiber hypertrophy. To address this issue, a novel mouse strain (Pax7-DTA) was created which enabled the conditional ablation of >90% of satellite cells in mature skeletal muscle following tamoxifen administration. To test the hypothesis that satellite cells are necessary for skelet...
متن کاملCa2+-independent phospholipase A2 enhances store-operated Ca2+ entry in dystrophic skeletal muscle fibers.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by deficiency of dystrophin and leads to progressive weakness. It has been proposed that the muscle degeneration occurring in this disease is caused by increased Ca2+ influx due to enhanced activity of cationic channels that are activated either by stretch of the plasma membrane (stretch-activated channels) or by Ca2+-store depletion (store-operated channel...
متن کاملEffects of azumolene on Ca2+ sparks in skeletal muscle fibers.
Azumolene is an analog of dantrolene, the only approved medicine for treatment of malignant hyperthermia (MH). The pharmacological mechanism of these drugs is to inhibit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release by modulating the activity of the SR ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ release channel. To investigate the effects of azumolene on SR Ca2+ channel gating within skeletal musc...
متن کاملLength-dependent Ca2+ activation in skeletal muscle fibers from mammalians.
We tested the hypotheses that 1) a decrease in activation of skeletal muscles at short sarcomere lengths (SLs) is caused by an inhibition of Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and 2) the decrease in Ca(2+) would be caused by an inhibition of action potential conduction from the periphery to the core of the fibers. Intact, single fibers dissected from the flexor digitorum brevi...
