  • The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of periodic walking during hindlimb suspension on the mass, relative weight, fiber type distribution and cross-sectional area of Type I and II fibers in the developing Type II plantaris muscle. To examine the effectiveness of periodic walking on mass and fiber size, the hindlimbs of young female Wistar rats were suspended (HS group) and half of these rats walked on a treadmill for 45 min/day(15 min every 4 hours) at 5 meters/min at a 15 degree grade(HS-W group) After seven days of hindlimb suspension, the plantaris muscle wet weight was 28.40% significantly smaller(P<0.005) and relative plantaris muscle weight was 26.97% smaller compared with those of control rats(P<0.05). The plantaris muscle wet weight and the relative plantaris muscle weight increased by 46.60% and 49.23% respectively with periodic walking, moreover. the plantaris muscle wet weight and the relative plantaris muscle weight of the HS-W rats recovered to the level of the control rats. No change was observed in fiber type percentage of the developing plantaris muscle following one week of hindlimb suspension or periodic walking during hindlimb suspension. Type I and II fiber cross-sectional areas of the developing plantaris muscle were 42.51% and 43. 68% lower in the HS group than in the control group(p<0.0001), Type I and II fiber cross-sectional areas of the developing plantaris were 30.82% and 45.97% greater in the HS-W group than in the HS group(p<0.0001), whereas Type I and II fiber cross-sectional area of HS-W group were less than those of the control group(P<0.0001) The results suggest that periodic walking can attenuate developing plantaris muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb suspension.

  • Chronic or acute alcohol abuse often leads to liver injury associated with alcoholic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. In addition to the liver, alcohol abuse also induces a variety of other tissue injuries including pancreatitis, cardiomyopathy, neurotoxicity and muscle loss. Chronic skeletal muscle myopathy, independent of peripheral neuropathy, is well recognised in alcoholic patients. Several mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of alcoholic myopathy. Ethanol is a potent inhibitor of muscle protein synthesis. Gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles are Type II fiber-predominant and usually considered representative of the musculature as a whole. Whereas, soleus muscle is Type I fiber predominant. Shihosogan-san is a traditional Korean medicine that is widely employed to treat indigestion and liver diseases. Muscle diseases are often related to liver diseases and conditions. We therefore tested the hypothesis that treatment with Shihosogan-san could ameliorate the ethanol-induced changes in muscle protein synthesis. Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally given 25% ethanol (5ml/kg, body weight) daily with Ethanol for 28 days. Normal group was similarly administrated with saline. In Shihosogan-san treated group, rats were orally administrated Shihosogan-san extract, and rats of EtOH group were given with the vehicle only. After 4 week, the morphology of gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. For comparative purposes, liver function was also investigated. The muscles from rats of EtOH group displayed a significant reduction in average cross section area compared to Normal group. Shihosogan-san treated group had increased fiber compared to the EtOH group. Moreover, Shihosogan-san treated group compared with EtOH group showed significantly decreased pro-apoptotic BAX expression and increased anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression. In conclusion, Shihosogan-san extract showed ameliorating effects on chronic alcohol toxicity in skeletal muscle.

  • Objectives Ethanol is a potent inhibitor of muscle protein synthesis. Muscle mass is regulated by the balance between rates of protein synthesis and protein breakdown. Both acute and chronic alcohol consumption inhibits synthesis to a greater extent than degradation. Protein synthesis is more intensely decreased in type II fibers than in type I fibers. Apoptosis has been shown to occur frequently in a variety of tissues in response to chronic alcohol feeding. Increased muscle fiber apoptosis has been shown in alcoholics with myopathy. Pueraria radix has been used for many disorders such as fevers, gastrointestinal disorders, muscle aches, allergies, respiratory problems, skin problems, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, lowering cholesterol and treating chronic alcoholism. We therefore tested the hypothesis that oral treatment with Pueraria radix could reduce the ethanol-induced muscle atrophy. Methods Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally given 25% ethanol (5 ml/kg, body weight) daily with Ethanol for 4 weeks. Normal group was similarly administrated with saline. The Rats of Pueraria radix treated group (EtOH+PR) were orally administrated Pueraria radix water extract, and rats of EtOH group were given with the vehicle only. After 4 week, the morphology of gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The immunoreactivities of pre-apoptotic BAX and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins were also measured. Results The muscles from rats of EtOH group represented a significant reduction in average cross section area compared to Normal group. EtOH+PR group had increased fiber compared to the EtOH group. Moreover, to investigate the ethanol-induced muscular apoptosis, the immunohistochemical analysis of Bax and Bcl-2 was carried out. The treatment with Pueraria radix (EtOH+PR) significantly decreased BAX expression and increased Bcl-2 expression 4 weeks after ethanol administration when compared with Normal group. Conclusions These results suggest that Pueraria radix water extract has protective effects on chronic alcohol induced myopathy.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intermittent low - intensity, short duration exercise during hindlimb suspension on the mass, relative weight, myofibrillar protein content, cross-sectional area of Type I and Type II fibers and SDH activity in Type II(plantaris) muscle. To examine the effectiveness of intermittent low-intensity, short duration exercise on mass, myofibrillar protein content and fiber size, the hindlimbs of adult female Wistar rats were suspended(HS) and half of these rats walked on a treadmill for 45 min/day(9 min every 2h) at 5m /min and a 15$^{\circ}$grade (HS-EX). Plantaris wet weight was 19.67% significantly smaller(p<0.005) and relative plantaris weight was 6.25% smaller compared with those of control rats following seven days of hindlimb suspension. Plantaris wet weight and relative plantaris weight increased by 27.66%, 12.22% each through intermit-tent exercise during hindlimb suspension(p<0.005, p<0.05), moreover, plantaris wet weight and relative plantaris weight of the HS-EX rats were similar to those of control rats. Soleus wet weight and relative soleus weight decreased significantly by 31% and 22.0% in the HS rats(p<0.05). Soleus wet weight and relative soleus weight increased by 10.41%, 25.64% respectively through intermittent ex-ercise during hindlimb suspension, furthermore, soleus wet weight and relative weight of the HS-EX rats were closer to those of control rats. Myofibrillar protein content of plantaris and soleus decreased significantly by 51.49%, 59.65% each, following seven days of hindlimb suspension (p<0.005) Myofibrillar protein content of plantaris and soleus increased by 51.79%, 75.47% each with significance through intermittent exercise during hindlimb suspension(p<0.005). Myofibrillar protein content of plantaris and soleus in HS-EX rats was smaller than that of control rats. No change was observed in fiber type percentage following 1 week of hindlimb suspension or exercise during hindlimb suspension. The type I fiber cross-sectional area of both soleus and plantaris muscle was 18.72% and 41.07% lower in the HS than that of the controls (p<0.05, p<.001), that of both muscles was 6.60% and 29. 3% greater in the HS-EX than that of the HS rats. HS plus intermittent low- intensity short duration exercise resulted in Type I fiber cross-sectional area closer to the controls. Type II fiber cross-sectional area of both plantaris and soleus muscle was 22.45% and 22.58% sl nailer in the HS than in the controls, that of both muschles in the HS-EX was 14.10%, 5.78% greater than HS. Intermittent exercise during hindlimb suspension resulted in Type I, II fiber cross-sectional area closer to the control value. There was no change in SDH activity following 1week of hindlimb suspension or exercise during hindlimb suspension in the plantaris muscle. The results suggest that intermittent low intensity short duration exercise can ameliorate Type II muscular atrophy Induced by hindlimb suspension.

  • 본 연구는 근생성 및 근위축 완화효능을 가진 유효소재 발굴의 필요성에 의해 polygalacin D가 근원세포 분화 및 미토콘드리아에 미치는 영향과 항암제 유도 근위축에 대한 완화효과를 각각 세포 및 동물실험을 통해 확인하고자 하였다. 그 결과, polygalacin D는 다핵을 지닌 근관세포의 수와 분화 종결인자인 MHC isoforms의 발현량을 증가시켰고 근육 내 단백질 분해 인자인 MuRF1, Smad2/3의 발현량은 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 또한 미토콘드리아 생합성 조절인자인 Pgc1α의 발현은 증가시키고 미토콘드리아 분열인자인 Drp1과 Fis1의 발현은 감소시켰다. 한편 zebrafish 동물모델을 통해 항암제 유도 근위축에 대한 개선효과를 확인한 결과, polygalacin D는 항암제에 의해 유도된 근위축과 미토콘드리아 손상을 완화시켰다. 이상의 결과들은 polygalacin D가 미토콘드리아 기능 증진을 매개로 근원세포 분화 촉진 및 근육 단백질 분해 저하 효과를 지닐 뿐만 아니라, 미토콘드리아 손상을 개선하여 항암제로 유도된 근위축에 대한 완화 효과를 나타냄을 시사한다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 polygalacin D가 근생성 및 근위축 예방과 치료를 위한 잠재적인 유효소재로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • The spinal cord is highly complex, consisting of a specialized neural network that comprised both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Any kind of injury and/or insult to the spinal cord leads to a series of damaging events resulting in motor and/or sensory deficits below the level of injury. As a result, muscle paralysis (or paresis) leading to muscle atrophy or shrinking of the muscle along with changes in muscle fiber type, and contractile properties have been observed. Traditionally, histology had been used as a gold standard to characterize spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced adaptation in spinal cord and skeletal muscle. However, histology measurements is invasive and cannot be used for longitudinal analysis. Therefore, the use of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is promoted to be used as an alternative non-invasive method, which allows the repeated measurements over time and secures the safety against radiation by using radiofrequency pulse. Currently, many of pathological changes and adaptations occurring after SCI can be measured by MRI methods, specifically 3-dimensional MRI with the advanced diffusion tensor imaging technique. Both techniques have shown to be sensitive in measuring morphological and structural changes in skeletal muscle and the spinal cord.

  • 본 연구는 지방의 종류와 함량이 다른 식이의 섭취가 하지 고정 흰 쥐의 근육 내 화학 조성, PPAR${\delta}$ 및 관련 효소의 발현에 미치는 영향을 근육 종류에 따라 알아 보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 10일 간의 하지고정과 식이 중재에 의해 실험동물의 체중, 식이섭취량 및 혈청 지방산에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 2) 10일 간의 하지고정에 따라 근육 양은 하지 근육 종류에 따라, 각각 soleus 에서 약 57%, plantaris에서 약 39% 그리고 gastrocnemius에서 약 38%로 달리 감소되었다 (p < 0.01). 특히 soleus에서 가장 많은 감소 현상을 보였다. 이러한 감소 경향은 식이 지방의 종류 및 함량에 영향을 받지 않았다. 3) 10일 간의 하지고정에 따라 근육 내 조성 변화의 경우, gastrocnemius에서 분석한 근육 총 단백질량은 정상 다리(contralateral)와 비교하여 하지고정에 따라 유의적으로 감소 (CO, 41%; FO, 40%; HCO, 37%; HBT, 38%)하였다. Plantaris, gastrocnemius에서 분석한 근육 내 중성지방량의 경우에도, 정상다리와 비교하여 하지고정에 따라 plantaris(CO, 39%; FO, 27%; HCO, 38%; HBT, 35%)와 gastrocnemius(CO, 38%; FO, 34%; HCO, 33%; HBT, 34%) 모두에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 그러나, 근 단백질량과 중성지방량의 감소 현상은 모두 식이군 간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 4) PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질은 하지고정에 의해 plantaris에서는 유의적으로 증가 (p < 0.05)하였고, gastrocnemius, soleus에서는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질과는 반대로 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA는 하지고정에 의해 plantaris에서는 유의적으로 감소 하였고, soleus에서는 FO군만 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA 발현 양이 유의적으로 감소하였다. PPAR${\alpha}$의 경우 하지고정에 따라 두 근육에서 모두 영향을 받지 않았다. mCPT1 mRNA는 하지고정에 따라 soleus와 plantaris 모두에서 변화가 없었지만, PDK4 mRNA는 하지고정에 따라 plantaris에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 반대로 soleus에서는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 5) PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질은 세 근육의 FO군에서 모두 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 식이에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았다. PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA의 경우, plantaris의 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 mRNA 발현이 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었고, 다른 군에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. Soleus의 PPAR${\delta}$ mRNA는 CO군과 비교해 FO, HCO 그리고 HBT군 모두에서 발현 양이 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보였다. 반면, PPAR${\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현은 두 근육에서 모두 식이에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. mCPT1 mRNA 발현의 경우, plantaris에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 발현 양이 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 보였지만, 고지방 식이 군에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 반대로, soleus에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군에서 발현이 유의적으로 높은 수준을 보였지만, 고지방 식이 군에서는 CO군과 비교해 유의적인 차이는 없었다. PDK4 mRNA의 경우, plantaris에서는 CO군과 비교해 FO군의 mRNA 발현 양이 유의적으로 높은 수준을 보였다. 고지방 식이 군에서는 CO군과 비교해 발현 양의 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 한편, soleus에서는 FO군에서 발현이 낮은 경향을 보였을 뿐, 식이에 따른 mRNA 발현에는 모든 군에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 10일간의 하지고정에 의해서 모든 근육에서 유의적인 근 위축이 유발되었고, 이에 따라 근육 양의 감소와 함께 근육 총 단백질의 유의적인 감소가 나타났다. 하지만 근육 총 단백질과 중성지방의 유의적인 감소에도 불구하고, 하지고정에 의한 근육 내 중성지방 축적은 일어나지 않았다. 이는 하지고정에 의해 모든 근육에서 증가된 PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질이 하지고정 초기에 근육 내 중성지방의 축적을 억제했을 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로, 하지고정에 따른 근 위축에 의해 근육 내 지질대사를 조절하는 PPAR${\delta}$의 mRNA 발현은 감소하였지만, ${\omega}$-3 PUFA를 함유한 어유 식이는 PPAR${\delta}$ 단백질 및 관련 효소의 발현 수준과 활성에 근 섬유별특성에 따라 긍정적인 영향을 줌으로써 근육 내 지질축적을 비롯한 근위축의 경감에 도움을 줄 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • Background: The ginsenoside Rg1 has been shown to exert various pharmacological activities with health benefits. Previously, we have reported that Rg1 promoted myogenic differentiation and myotube growth in C2C12 myoblasts. In this study, the in vivo effect of Rg1 on fiber-type composition and oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle was examined. Methods: To examine the effect of Rg1 on skeletal muscle, 3-month-old mice were treated with Rg1 for 5 weeks. To assess muscle strength, grip strength tests were performed, and the lower hind limb muscles were harvested, followed by various detailed analysis, such as histological staining, immunoblotting, immunostaining, and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In addition, to verify the in vivo data, primary myoblasts isolated from mice were treated with Rg1, and the Rg1 effect on myotube growth was examined by immunoblotting and immunostaining analysis. Results: Rg1 treatment increased the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms characteristic for both oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers; increased myofiber sizes were accompanied by enhanced muscle strength. Rg1 treatment also enhanced oxidative muscle metabolism with elevated oxidative phosphorylation proteins. Furthermore, Rg1-treated muscles exhibited increased levels of anabolic S6 kinase signaling. Conclusion: Rg1 improves muscle functionality via enhancing muscle gene expression and oxidative muscle metabolism in mice.
