Sepsis is associated with increased mRNAs of the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway in human skeletal muscle.

Abstract: Previous studies provided evidence that sepsis-induced muscle proteolysis in experimental animals is caused by increased ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent protein breakdown. It is not known if a similar mechanism accounts for muscle proteolysis in patients with sepsis. We determined mRNA levels for ubiquitin and the 20 S proteasome subunit HC3 by Northern blot analysis in muscle tissue from septic ( n ϭ 7) and non-septic ( n ϭ 11) patients. Plasma and muscle amino acid concentrations and concentrations in urine o… Show more

“…& Takaki Yoshikawa yoshikawat@kcch.jp which, as well as acting as mediators of both immune and systemic responses to injury [6], cause muscle catabolism characterized by a rapid decrease in the protein content and accelerated amino acid release [7,8]. The levels of these cytokines reportedly peak and decrease to normal levels by day 7 [9].…”

“…Furthermore, Hasselgren and Fischer [12] showed that dexamethasone (DEX) stimulates proteasome-and calcium-dependent proteolysis in the same cells [13]. Other studies [12,14] confirmed that sepsis induces proteolysis by activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and that this activation was regulated by GCs [15]. These findings represent a unique situation where the increased GC levels described with sepsis are associated with upregulated GR levels in muscle cells, in contrast to most cells, where increased GCs levels are associated with GR downregulation.…”
