Ubiquitin ligase gene expression in healthy volunteers with 20‐day bedrest

Abstract: In animal models, several ubiquitin ligases play an important role in skeletal muscle atrophy caused by unloading. In this study we examined protein ubiquitination and ubiquitin ligase gene expression in quadriceps femoris muscle from healthy volunteers after 20-day bedrest to clarify ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in human muscles after unloading. During bedrest, thickness and cross-sectional area of the quadriceps femoris muscle decreased significantly by 4.6% and 3.7%, respectively. Ubiquitinated proteins … Show more

“…The Cbl-b gene is highly sensitive to mechanical stress (unloading) (30,31). Therefore, we hypothesized that some of the components of the signal transduction pathways that regulate the expression of Cbl-b are important sensors of mechanical stress.…”

“…To measure the mRNA amount in small samples, realtime reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) was performed with SYBR green dye using an ABI 7300 real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) as described previously (31). The oligonucleotide primers used for amplification are listed in Table S3 in the supplemental material.…”

“…In response to decreased mechanical stress, skeletal muscle tissue undergoes rapid atrophy characterized by the loss of mass and size. 204,205 On the other hand, mechanical stimulation of the tissue leads to increased mitochondrial content, 206 improved insulin sensitivity, 207 enhanced muscle strength, and increased size. 208 During catabolic conditions, muscle proteins are catabolized to maintain gluconeogenesis in the liver, 209 but excessive degradation of the muscle tissue may be extremely damaging for the organism, leading to muscle wasting and even death.…”

“…The muscle RING finger 1 (MurF1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx) are the main ubiquitin ligases responsible for protein degradation in skeletal muscle. It is well established that immobilization causes an accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins in rodent and human skeletal muscle [96][97][98] due to increase in both MuRF-1 and MAFbx expression [53,57,62,99]. The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) directly regulates the transcription of MuRF1, and consequently plays an important role in immobilization-induced protein degradation [100,101].…”
