Paradoxical effect of IKKβ inhibition on the expression of E3 ubiquitin ligases and unloading‐induced skeletal muscle atrophy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We tested whether NF-κB pathway is indispensable for the increase in expression of E3-ligases and unloading-induced muscle atrophy using IKKβ inhibitor IMD-0354. Three groups of rats were used: nontreated control (C), 3 days of unloading/hindlimb suspension with (HS+IMD) or without (HS) IMD-0354. Levels of IκBα were higher in HS+IMD (1.16-fold) and lower in HS (0.82-fold) when compared with C group. IMD-0354 treatment during unloading: had no effect on loss of muscle mass; increased mRNA levels of MuRF1 and MAFbx; increased levels of pFoxO3; and had no effect on levels of Bcl-3, p105, and p50 proteins. Our study for the first time showed that inhibiting IKKβ in vivo during 3-day unloading failed to diminish expression of ubiquitin ligases and prevent muscle atrophy.

Inhibition of Xanthine Oxidase by Allopurinol Prevents Skeletal Muscle Atrophy: Role of p38 MAPKinase and E3 Ubiquitin Ligases
Alterations in muscle play an important role in common diseases and conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during hindlimb unloading due, at least in part, to the activation of xanthine oxidase (XO). The major aim of this study was to determine the mechanism by which XO activation causes unloading-induced muscle atrophy in rats, and its possible prevention by allopurinol, a wel...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle 11beta-HSD1 Controls Glucocorticoid-Induced Proteolysis and Expression of E3 Ubiquitin Ligases Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1
Recent studies demonstrated expression and activity of the intracellular cortisone-cortisol shuttle 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) in skeletal muscle and inhibition of 11beta-HSD1 in muscle cells improved insulin sensitivity. Glucocorticoids induce muscle atrophy via increased expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligases Atrogin-1 (Muscle Atrophy F-box (MAFbx)) and MuRF-1 (M...
متن کاملPrevention of unloading-induced atrophy by vitamin E supplementation: links between oxidative stress and soleus muscle proteolysis?
Exposure to reduced activity induces skeletal muscle atrophy. Oxidative stress might contribute to muscle wasting via proteolysis activation. This study aimed to test two hypotheses in rats. First, supplementation of the antioxidant vitamin E, prior and during the phase of unloading, would partly counteract unloading-induced soleus muscle atrophy. Secondly, vitamin E supplementation would decre...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-protein ligase Nedd4 targets Notch1 in skeletal muscle and distinguishes the subset of atrophies caused by reduced muscle tension.
Ubiquitination-dependent proteolysis is a fundamental process underlying skeletal muscle atrophy. Thus, the role of ubiquitin ligases is of great interest. There are no focused studies in muscle on the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4. We first confirmed increased mRNA expression in rat soleus muscles due to 1-14 days of hind limb unloading. Nedd4 protein localized to the sarcolemmal region of muscle fib...
متن کاملPolyphenols prevent clinorotation-induced expression of atrogenes in mouse C2C12 skeletal myotubes.
Oxidative stress is a key factor in stimulating the expression of atrogenes, which are muscle atrophy-related ubiquitin ligases, in skeletal muscle, and it induces muscle atrophy during unloading. However, the effects of antioxidative nutrients on atrogene expression have not been demonstrated. We report on the inhibitory effects of polyphenols, such as epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (EC...
