چکیده

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute lung injury and critical care illness may develop hypercapnia. Many of these patients often have muscle dysfunction which increases morbidity and impairs their quality of life. Here, we investigated whether hypercapnia leads to skeletal muscle atrophy. Mice exposed to high CO2 had decreased skeletal muscle wet weight, fiber diameter, and strength. Cultured myotubes exposed to high CO2 had reduced fiber diameter, protein/DNA ratio and anabolic capacity. High CO2 induced the expression of MuRF1 in vivo and in vitro, while MuRF1 mice exposed to high CO2 did not develop muscle atrophy. AMPK, a metabolic sensor, was activated in myotubes exposed to high CO2 and loss-of-function studies showed that AMPK-α2 isoform is necessary for MuRF1 upregulation and myofiber size reduction. High CO2 induced AMPK-α2 activation, triggering the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of FoxO3a, and leading to an increase in MuRF1 expression and myotube atrophy. Accordingly, we provide evidence that high CO2 activates skeletal muscle atrophy via AMPKα2-FoxO3a-MuRF1, which is of biological and potentially clinical significance in patients with lung diseases and hypercapnia. Hypercapnia, or elevation of blood CO2 levels, occurs in patients with respiratory diseases such as Hypercapnia leads to skeletal muscle atrophy

Effects of short-term endurance exercise training on acute doxorubicin-induced FoxO transcription in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent antitumor agent used in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, DOX can induce myopathy in both cardiac and skeletal muscle, which limits its clinical use. Importantly, exercise training has been shown to protect against DOX-mediated cardiac and skeletal muscle myopathy. However, the mechanisms responsible for this exercise-induced muscle protection remain elusive. These ...

SMAD3 augments FoxO3-induced MuRF-1 promoter activity in a DNA-binding-dependent manner.

Muscle-specific RING finger-1 (MuRF-1), a ubiquitin ligase and key regulator of proteasome-dependent protein degradation, is highly expressed during skeletal muscle atrophy. The transcription factor forkhead box O3 (FoxO3) induces MuRF-1 expression, but the direct role of other major atrophy-related transcription factors, such as SMAD3, is largely unknown. The goal of this study was to determin...

Identification of muscle specific ring finger proteins as potential regulators of the titin kinase domain.

The giant myofibrillar protein titin contains within its C-terminal region a serine-threonine kinase of unknown function. We have identified a novel muscle specific RING finger protein, referred to as MURF-1, that binds in vitro to the titin repeats A168/A169 adjacent to the titin kinase domain. In myofibrils, MURF-1 is present within the periphery of the M-line lattice in close proximity to ti...

IGF-1 prevents ANG II-induced skeletal muscle atrophy via Akt- and Foxo-dependent inhibition of the ubiquitin ligase atrogin-1 expression.

Congestive heart failure is associated with activation of the renin-angiotensin system and skeletal muscle wasting. Angiotensin II (ANG II) has been shown to increase muscle proteolysis and decrease circulating and skeletal muscle IGF-1. We have shown previously that skeletal muscle-specific overexpression of IGF-1 prevents proteolysis and apoptosis induced by ANG II. These findings indicated t...

FoxO1 induces apoptosis in skeletal myotubes in a DNA-binding-dependent manner.

Recent studies indicate that FoxO transcription factors play an important role in promoting muscle atrophy. To study mechanisms mediating effects of FoxO proteins on muscle wasting, FoxO1-estrogen receptor fusion proteins that are activated by treatment with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OH-T) were stably transfected in C(2)C(12) skeletal myoblasts using the pBABE retroviral system and grown into multi...

Muscle-specific RING finger-1 interacts with titin to regulate sarcomeric M-line and thick filament structure and may have nuclear functions via its interaction with glucocorticoid modulatory element binding protein-1

The COOH-terminal A168-170 region of the giant sarcomeric protein titin interacts with muscle-specific RING finger-1 (MURF-1). To investigate the functional significance of this interaction, we expressed green fluorescent protein fusion constructs encoding defined fragments of titin's M-line region and MURF-1 in cardiac myocytes. Upon expression of MURF-1 or its central region (containing its t...
