Abstract
The development of cachexia in the setting of cancer or other chronic diseases is a significant detriment for patients. Cachexia is associated with a decreased ability to tolerate therapies, reduction in ambulation, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Cachexia appears intricately linked to the activation of the acute phase response and is a drain on metabolic resources. Work has begun to focus on the important inflammatory factors associated with the acute phase response and their role in the immune activation of cachexia. Furthermore, data supporting the liver, lung, skeletal muscle, and tumor as all playing a role in activation of the acute phase are emerging. Although the acute phase is increasingly being recognized as being involved in cachexia, work in understanding underlying mechanisms of cachexia associated with the acute phase response remains an active area of investigation and still lack a holistic understanding and a clear causal link. Studies to date are largely correlative in nature, nonetheless suggesting the possibility for a role for various acute phase reactants. Herein, we examine the current literature regarding the acute phase response proteins, the evidence these proteins play in the promotion and exacerbation of cachexia, and current evidence of a therapeutic potential for patients.

Abstract
In the present work, an endopin-like elastase inhibitor was purified for the first time from bovine muscle. A three-step chromatography procedure was developed including successively SP-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose and EMD-DEAE 650. This procedure provides about 300 microg of highly pure inhibitor from 500 g of bovine diaphragm muscle. The N-terminal sequence of the muscle elastase inhibitor, together with the sequence of a trypsin-generated peptide, showed 100% similarity with the cDNA deduced sequence of chromaffin cell endopin 1. Hence, the muscle inhibitor was designated muscle endopin 1 (mEndopin 1). mEndopin 1 had a molecular mass of 70 kDa, as assessed by both gel filtration and SDS/PAGE. According to the association rates determined, mEndopin 1 is a potent inhibitor of elastase (kass=2.41x10(7) M(-1).s(-1)) and trypsin (kass=3.92x10(6) M(-1).s(-1)), whereas plasmin (kass=1.78x10(3) M(-1).s(-1)) and chymotrypsin (kass=1.0x10(2) M(-1).s(-1)) were only moderately inhibited. By contrast, no inhibition was detected against several other selected serine proteinases, as well as against cysteine proteinases of the papain family. The cellular location of mEndopin in muscle tissue and its tissue distribution were investigated using a highly specific rabbit antiserum. The results obtained demonstrate an intracellular location and a wide distribution in bovine tissues.

Abstract
The first association of the synapse as a potential site of neurodegenerative disease burden was suggested for Alzheimer's disease (AD) almost 30 years ago. Since then protease:protease inhibitor (P:PI) systems were first linked to functional regulation of synaptogenesis and synapse withdrawal at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) more than 20 years ago. Confirmatory evidence for the involvement of the synapse, the rate-limiting or key unit in neural function, in AD did not become clear until the beginning of the 1990s. However, over the past 15 years evidence for participation of thrombin, related serine proteases and neural PIs, homologous and even identical to those of the plasma clot cascade, has been mounting. Throughout development a balance between stabilization forces, on the one hand, and breakdown influences, on the other, becomes established at synaptic junctions, just as it does in plasma clot proteins. The formation of protease-resistant cross-links by the transglutaminase (TGase) family of enzymes may add to the stability for this balance. The TGase family includes coagulation factor XIIIA and 8 other different genes, some of which may also influence the persistence of neural connections. Synaptic location of protease-activated, G-protein-coupled receptors (PARs) for thrombin and related proteases, their serpin and Kunitz-type PIs such as protease nexin I (PNI), alpha1-antichymotrypsin (alpha-ACT), and the Kunitz protease inhibitor (KPI)-containing secreted forms of beta-amyloid protein precursor (beta-APP), along with the TGases and their putative substrates, have all been amply documented. These findings strongly add to the conclusion that these molecules participate in the eventual structural stability of synaptic connections, as they do in coagulation cascades, and focus trophic activity on surviving terminals during periods of selective contact elimination. In disease states, this imbalance is likely to be shifted in favor of destabilizing forces: increased and/or altered protease activity, enhanced PAR influence, decreased and/or altered protease inhibitor function, reduction and/or alteration in tTG expression and activity, and alteration in its substrate profile. This imbalance further initiates a cascade of events leading to inappropriate programmed cell death and may well be considered evidence of synaptic apoptosis.

Abstract
The protein content of muscle is determined by the relative rates of synthesis and degradation. The balance between this process determines the number of functional contractile units within each muscle cell. Myofibril-bound protease, protease M previously reported in mouse skeletal muscle could be solubilized from the myofibrillar fraction by salt and acid treatment and partially purified by Mono Q and Superose 12 chromatography. Isolated protease M activity in vitro on whole myofibrils resulted in myosin, actin, troponin T, alpha-actinin and tropomyosin degradation. Protease M is serine type and was able to hydrolyze trypsin-type synthetic substrates but not those of chymotrypsin type. In gel filtration chromatography, protease M showed Mr 120.0 kDa. The endogenous inhibitor (MHPI) is a glycoprotein (110.0 kDa) that efficiently blocks the protease M-dependent proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins in a dose-dependent way, as shown by electrophoretic analysis and synthetic substrates assays. Protease M-Inhibitor system would be implicated in myofibrillar proteins turnover.

Abstract
A trypsin proteinase inhibitor has been purified to homogeneity from the skeletal muscle of white croaker (Micropogon opercularis). Previously, we had described the occurrence in fish muscle of a serine protease (proteinase I) which showed a great capacity to degrade whole myofibrils in vitro and an endogenous inhibitor that prevented the action of the protease, both on natural and artificial substrates. In this paper, we report the purification and further biochemical characterization of the endogenous trypsin inhibitor. The purification was carried out by DEAE-Sephacel, Con A-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300 and Mono Q. Throughout the purification procedure, trypsin inhibitory activity was assayed using azocasein as substrate. The molecular mass of the inhibitor was 65 kDa, as estimated by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The trypsin inhibitor is a glycoprotein, as deduced by the fact that it binds to Con A-Sepharose and stains with PAS and showed a wide range of pH stability (from 5 to 11). The thermal stability of the inhibitor considerably decreased at temperatures >60 degrees C. Assays of the inhibitor against various proteases indicated that it is highly specific for serine proteases, since it did not inhibit proteases belonging to any other groups. The inhibitor was able to inhibit the endogenous target enzyme (proteinase I) in a dose-dependent manner, with a 50% inhibition at a molar ratio close to 1. The present work contributes to improving our understanding of the physiological role of the proteinase I-inhibitor system in muscle protein breakdown, as well as its influence on post mortem proteolysis.

Abstract
Myofibrillar proteins, like all other intracellular proteins, are in a dynamic state of continual degradation and resynthesis. The proteolytic system responsible for degrading myofibrillar proteins in skeletal muscle is not well defined. A proteolytic activity associated to myofibrils was found in mouse skeletal muscle, as show electrophoretic patterns, and denominated by us, as protease M. During incubation of whole myofibrils at 37 degrees C, myosin heavy chain, alpha actinin, actin and troponin T suffered degradation. These effects were inhibited selectively by serine protease inhibitors (soybean trypsin inhibitor, di-isopropyl phosphofluoridate, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride). Using myofibrils as protease M source, azocaseinolytic activity was also detected. Endogenous inhibitor and various compounds effects on protease M activity were also quantified by trichloroacetic acid soluble products formation, using radiolabeled myofibrils. An endogenous trypsin inhibitor isolated from the muscle cytoplasmic fraction could inhibit protease M activity on myofibrillar proteins and on azocasein. While K(+) increased protease M activity, the presence of Ca(2+) did not show any effect. Data presented in this study suggest that reported protease M may be implicated in myofibrillar degradation in vivo and isolated endogenous inhibitor may provide a mechanism to control its action in mouse skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Amyloid precursor protein (APP), associated with Alzheimer's disease plaques, is known to be present in synapses of the brain and in the adult neuromuscular junction (NMJ). In the present study we examined protein and gene expression of APP during the development of mouse skeletal muscle. Using immunocytochemical approaches, we found that APP is first detected in myotube cytoplasm at embryonic day 16 and becomes progressively concentrated at the NMJ beginning at birth until adulthood. The colocalization between APP and acetylcholine receptors at the NMJ is only partial at birth, but becomes complete upon reaching adulthood. We observed that all APP isoforms, including the Kunitz-containing (protease inhibitor or KPI) forms, are up-regulated from birth to postnatal day 5 and then decreased to reach the low levels observed in the adult. This suggests the involvement of APP during the events which lead to a mature mono-innervated synapse. A 92-kDa band, characteristic of a cleaved APP695 isoform and not due to a new muscle-specific alternative spliced form, was observed from postnatal day 15 following completion of polyneuronal synapse elimination. Taken together, these data suggest that skeletal muscle APP may well play a role in the differentiation of skeletal muscle and in the formation and maturation of NMJs.

Abstract
The precursor proteins of Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid peptide, the beta-amyloid precursor protein isoforms, comprise a family of neuronal proteins with synaptic localization whose physiological roles in brain are poorly understood. One possible role for synaptic proteins is involvement in neuronal plasticity. After exposure to an enriched environment compared to impoverished conditions, rats exhibited superior cognitive capacity. Up to approximately four-fold increased overall levels of beta-amyloid precursor proteins were found in cortical/subcortical tissue of the enriched animals displaying significantly more synapses immunoreactive for the different beta-amyloid precursor protein isoforms (beta-amyloid precursor protein695- and beta-amyloid precursor protein751/770) in hippocampus and adjacent occipital cortex. This correlation thus provides in vivo evidence for an association of beta-amyloid precursor proteins with plastic changes induced by complex environment with consequences for cognitive functions and suggests that impaired beta-amyloid precursor protein metabolism at synapses might contribute to brain dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Immunofluorescence on primary dissociated rat neuronal cultures (cortical, hippocampal, and cerebellar) and organotypic hippocampal cultures was used to investigate the pattern of distribution of cell-surface amyloid protein (APP). Antibodies directed against the extracellular (N-terminal) portion of APP or against the entire molecule, but not against the C-terminal portion, revealed a striking segmental pattern of immunoreactivity along both axons and dendrites of all neuronal types tested. The pattern first developed between 24 and 48 h in culture. The segments showed co-localization with beta 1-integrin and talin immunoreactivities, but not with GAP-43 or clathrin, indicating that they may mark adhesion patches. Confocal laser microscopy supported a surface location for the APP responsible for the segmented pattern on neurites, as did the reduction of segmental immunoreactivity after exposure to mu-calpain or trypsin. It is conjectured that APP may have a role in cell-substratum interactions in the medium term, during such events as synaptic plasticity and neurite stability during extension.
