چکیده
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms are normally expressed in coordination with the corresponding myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in the fibers of skeletal muscle but this coordination is often disrupted in pathological conditions. In the streptozotocin-induced diabetes of rats (stz-rats), the soleus muscle showed peripheral neuropathy and the SERCA2a level decreased in type I (slow-oxidative) fibers compared to the control muscles, whereas the expression of the corresponding slow MyHC1 did not change. No difference was found at the mRNA and protein levels of SERCA and MyHC isoforms in the whole soleus, except that the level of the SERCA2a protein specifically declined in stz-rats compared to the controls. This shows that the coordinated expression of SERCA2a and MyHC1 is disrupted at the SERCA2a protein level in the diabetic soleus. The results are in line with previous observations that regulators of the Ca-homeostasis may adapt faster to type I diabetes than the contractile elements.

The effect of passive movement on denervated soleus highlights a differential nerve control on SERCA and MyHC isoforms.
The sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATP-ase (SERCA) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) levels were measured in hindlimb-denervated and selectively denervated rat soleus muscles. Selective denervation allowed passive movement of the soleus, whereas hindlimb denervation rendered it to passivity. To minimize chronic effects, we followed the changes only for 2 weeks. Selective denervation resulted in l...
متن کاملExpression of SERCA2a is independent of innervation in regenerating soleus muscle.
The speed of contraction of a skeletal muscle largely depends on the myosin heavy chain isoforms (MyHC), whereas the relaxation is initiated and maintained by the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCA). The expression of the slow muscle-type myosin heavy chain I (MyHCI) is entirely dependent on innervation, but, as we show here, innervation is not required for the expression of the slow-ty...
متن کاملBiochemical properties of overloaded fast-twitch skeletal muscle.
Previous studies suggest that fast-twitch skeletal muscle overloaded by surgical removal of synergists contains a greater percent of slow-twitch fibers than normal muscle. Therefore we examined subcellular systems known to represent biochemical properties of slow-twitch skeletal muscle by measuring myosin ATPase, Ca2+ regulation of myofibril ATPase, Ca2+ uptake of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a...
متن کاملSmooth muscle expresses a cardiac/slow muscle isoform of the Ca2+-transport ATPase in its endoplasmic reticulum.
Smooth muscle expresses in its endoplasmic reticulum an isoform of the Ca2+-transport ATPase that is very similar to or identical with that of the cardiac-muscle/slow-twitch skeletal-muscle form. However, this enzyme differs from that found in fast-twitch skeletal muscle. This conclusion is based on two independent sets of observations, namely immunological observations and phosphorylation expe...
متن کاملCalcium binding protein changes of sarcoplasmic reticulum from rat denervated skeletal muscle.
Two Ca2+ sequestering proteins were studied in fast-twitch (EDL) and slow-twitch (soleus) muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) as a function of denervation time. Ca2+-ATPase activity measured in SR fractions of normal soleus represented 5% of that measure in SR fractions of normal EDL. Denervation caused a severe decrease in activity only in fast-twitch muscle. Ca2+-ATPase and calsequestrin conte...
