A simplified immunohistochemical classification of skeletal muscle fibres in mouse

Abstract: The classification of muscle fibres is of particular interest for the study of the skeletal muscle properties in a wide range of scientific fields, especially animal phenotyping. It is therefore important to define a reliable method for classifying fibre types. The aim of this study was to establish a simplified method for the immunohistochemical classification of fibres in mouse. To carry it out, we first tested a combination of several anti myosin heavy chain (MyHC) antibodies in order to choose a minimum nu… Show more

“…Second, the gene expression was analyzed based on a single skeletal muscle, the TA muscle. TA is composed of predominantly type II fibers, which is also the predominant muscle fiber type in the hind limb muscles of mice . Soleus (SOL) was not used for the analysis due to the fact that mouse SOL contains a mixture of type I and type II muscle fibers, which is in contrast to other mammals (mainly type I muscle fibers) .…”

“…For example, the data described above were derived from measurements in the gastrocnemius of rats and tibialis anterior of mice, which are composed of both slow-and fast-twitch fibers (55,63). Whether REDD1 possesses a fiber type-specific effect with refeeding remains to be determined.…”

“…This variation may be caused by various compositions of muscle fiber type in specific muscles. For instance, TA and EDL contain more fast‐glycolytic type IIb fiber than SOL, which mainly contains slow‐oxidative type I and fast‐oxidative type IIa (42). In addition, it has been revealed that food deprivation could preferentially affect protein turnover in fast‐glycolytic fibers (43, 44).…”
