Cytochrome Oxidase Activity and Mitochondrial Gene Expression in Skeletal Muscle of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Several recent studies have suggested that skeletal muscle bioenergetics are abnormal in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study investigates the activity of cytochrome oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and the expression of two mitochondrial DNA genes related to COX (mRNA of subunit I of COX [COX-I] and the RNA component of the 12S ribosomal subunit [12S rRNA]), in quadriceps femoris muscle biopsies obtained from COPD patients with… Show more

“…There is a large body of evidence, much of which is beyond the scope of this review, which supports the view that skeletal muscle dysfunction is a major contributor to exercise limitation in COPD [50][51][52][53][54]. It could therefore be hypothesised that the effects observed on muscle performance in nonanaemic athletes with EPO may also be seen in COPD patients.…”

“…Bu değişiklikler yüksek rakımlı yerlerde yaşayan sağlıklı insanlarda veya kronik kalp yetersizliği, periferik arter hastalığı, kronik tıkayıcı akciğer hastalığı gibi hastalıkları olup kronik hipoksiye maruz kalanlarda karakteristik olarak görünür. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Bu ikinci gruptaki hastalarda kaslarda atrofi (kas lifi çapında azalma), tip 2 kas yapısına doğu kayma ve fosfofruktokinaz enzim aktivitesinde, hız sınırlayıcı glikolitik enzimde, mitokondriyal elektron transport sisteminin terminal enzimi olan sitoktom oksizda da artış görünür.
