Adaptation of the diaphragm and the vastus lateralis in mild-to-moderate COPD.

چکیده
The chronology of diaphragm and vastus lateralis adaptation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been studied. The hypothesis of this study was that muscle changes would occur earlier in the diaphragm than in the vastus lateralis in COPD, a finding that would suggest that local factors would be more important than systemic factors in determining the muscle phenotypic expression, at least in mild-to-moderate disease. The adaptation of the vastus lateralis and diaphragm muscles was evaluated in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD and in subjects with normal pulmonary function. In both groups, the oxidative potential and the number of lipofuscin inclusions were higher in the diaphragm than in the vastus lateralis. Compared to control, the diaphragm in COPD had a higher oxidative capacity and a higher proportion of type I fibres, with a reciprocal decrease in type IIA fibres, while there was no difference in diaphragmatic cross sectional areas, capillarisation and lipofuscin inclusions. No significant differences were found in the vastus lateralis from both groups. In conclusion, these data indicate that the diaphragm in controls and in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has a higher oxidative potential than the vastus lateralis, and that muscle adaptation occurs earlier in the diaphragm than in the vastus lateralis in mild-to-moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Discrepancies exist regarding the involvement of cellular inflammation and apoptosis in the muscle dysfunction of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with preserved body composition. We explored whether levels of inflammatory cells and apoptosis were increased in both respiratory and limb muscles of COPD patients without nutritional abnormalities. In the vastus lateralis, exte...

A n enhanced systemic inflammatory response is a typical feature of chronic diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, rheu-matoid arthritis and chronic heart failure. The pattern and degree of systemic cytokine elevation is remarkably comparable among these conditions, despite different primary organ pathology. Interestingly, these diseases share skeletal muscle ...
متن کاملDo Epigenetic Events Take Place in the Vastus Lateralis of Patients with Mild Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?
Muscle dysfunction is a major comorbidity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Several biological mechanisms including epigenetic events regulate muscle mass and function in models of muscle atrophy. Investigations conducted so far have focused on the elucidation of biological mechanisms involved in muscle dysfunction in advanced COPD. We assessed whether the epigenetic profile may ...
