Overload-mediated skeletal muscle hypertrophy is not impaired by loss of myofiber STAT3.
Although the signal pathways mediating muscle protein synthesis and degradation are well characterized, the transcriptional processes modulating skeletal muscle mass and adaptive growth are poorly understood. Recently, studies in mouse models of muscle wasting or acutely exercised human muscle have suggested a potential role for the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transc...
متن کاملDefining the STATus quo in muscle hypertrophy. Focus on “Overload-mediated skeletal muscle hypertrophy is not impaired by loss of myofiber STAT3”
SKELETAL MUSCLE is required for locomotion, breathing, and postural support; thus maintenance of skeletal muscle mass is necessary to sustain quality of life. With aging and/or diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, muscle atrophy is commonly associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality (2). Muscle mass is maintained by...
متن کاملRequirement of myomaker-mediated stem cell fusion for skeletal muscle hypertrophy
Fusion of skeletal muscle stem/progenitor cells is required for proper development and regeneration, however the significance of this process during adult muscle hypertrophy has not been explored. In response to muscle overload after synergist ablation in mice, we show that myomaker, a muscle specific membrane protein essential for myoblast fusion, is activated mainly in muscle progenitors and ...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Cells Express ICAM-1 after Muscle Overload and ICAM-1 Contributes to the Ensuing Hypertrophic Response
We previously reported that leukocyte specific β2 integrins contribute to hypertrophy after muscle overload in mice. Because intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is an important ligand for β2 integrins, we examined ICAM-1 expression by murine skeletal muscle cells after muscle overload and its contribution to the ensuing hypertrophic response. Myofibers in control muscles of wild type mic...
متن کاملGenetic loss of calcineurin blocks mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle fiber type switching but not hypertrophy.
The serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin is an important regulator of calcium-activated intracellular responses in eukaryotic cells. In higher eukaryotes, calcium/calmodulin-mediated activation of calcineurin facilitates direct dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT). Recently, controversy has surrounded the role of ...
