Branched-chain amino acids and L-alanine supplementation ameliorate calcium dyshomeostasis in sarcopenia: New insights for nutritional interventions. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1393746.

Abstract
Introduction: During aging, sarcopenia and decline in physiological processes lead to partial loss of muscle strength, atrophy, and increased fatigability. Muscle changes may be related to a reduced intake of essential amino acids playing a role in proteostasis. We have recently shown that branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplements improve atrophy and weakness in models of muscle disuse and aging. Considering the key roles that the alteration of Ca2+-related homeostasis and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) play in several muscle dysfunctions, this study has been aimed at gaining insight into the potential ability of BCAA-based dietary formulations in aged mice on various players of Ca2+ dyshomeostasis. Methods: Seventeen-month-old male C57BL/6J mice received a 12-week supplementation with BCAAs alone or boosted with two equivalents of L-alanine (2-Ala) or with dipeptide L-alanyl-L-alanine (Di-Ala) in drinking water. Outcomes were evaluated on ex vivo skeletal muscles indices vs. adult 3-month-old male C57BL/6J mice. Results: Ca2+ imaging confirmed a decrease in SOCE and an increase of resting Ca2+ concentration in aged vs. adult mice without alteration in the canonical components of SOCE. Aged muscles vs. adult muscles were characterized by a decrease in the expression of ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), the Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA) pump, and sarcalumenin together with an alteration of the expression of mitsugumin 29 and mitsugumin 53, two recently recognized players in the SOCE mechanism. BCAAs, particularly the formulation BCAAs+2-Ala, were able to ameliorate all these alterations. Discussion: These results provide evidence that Ca2+ homeostasis dysfunction plays a role in the functional deficit observed in aged muscle and supports the interest of dietary BCAA supplementation in counteracting sarcopenia-related SOCE dysregulation.

Zhu Y, Hamill RM, Mullen AM, Kelly AL, Gagaoua M. Molecular mechanisms contributing to the development of beef sensory texture and flavour traits and related biomarkers: Insights from early post-mortem muscle using label-free proteomics. J Proteomics 2023; 286:104953. [PMID: 37390894 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.104953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
Beef sensory quality comprises a suite of traits, each of which manifests its ultimate phenotype through interaction of muscle physiology with environment, both in vivo and post-mortem. Understanding variability in meat quality remains a persistent challenge, but omics studies to uncover biological connections between natural variability in proteome and phenotype could provide validation for exploratory studies and offer new insights. Multivariate analysis of proteome and meat quality data from Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle samples taken early post-mortem from 34 Limousin-sired bulls was conducted. Using for the first-time label-free shotgun proteomics combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), 85 proteins were found to be related with tenderness, chewiness, stringiness and flavour sensory traits. The putative biomarkers were classified in five interconnected biological pathways; i) muscle contraction, ii) energy metabolism, iii) heat shock proteins, iv) oxidative stress, v) regulation of cellular processes and binding. Among the proteins, PHKA1 and STBD1 correlated with all four traits, as did the GO biological process 'generation of precursor metabolites and energy'. Optimal regression models explained a high level (58-71%) of phenotypic variability with proteomic data for each quality trait. The results of this study propose several regression equations and biomarkers to explain the variability of multiple beef eating quality traits. Thanks to annotation and network analyses, they further suggest protein interactions and mechanisms underpinning the physiological processes regulating these key quality traits. SIGNIFICANCE: The proteomic profiles of animals with divergent quality profiles have been compared in numerous studies; however, a wide range of phenotypic variation is required to better understand the mechanisms underpinning the complex biological pathways correlated with beef quality and protein interactions. We used multivariate regression analyses and bioinformatics to analyse shotgun proteomics data to decipher the molecular signatures involved in beef texture and flavour variations with a focus on multiple quality traits. We developed multiple regression equations to explain beef texture and flavour. Additionally, potential candidate biomarkers correlated with multiple beef quality traits are suggested, which could have utility as indicators of beef overall sensory quality. This study explained the biological process responsible for determining key quality traits such as tenderness, chewiness, stringiness, and flavour in beef, which will provide support for future beef proteomics studies.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2022; 14:2122-2137. [PMID: 36438706 PMCID: PMC9694275 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v14.i11.2122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. Synaptophysin-like 2 (SYPL2) is a neuroendocrine-related protein highly expressed in skeletal muscle and the tongue. The involvement of SYPL2 in CRC, including its level of expression and function, has not been evaluated.
AIM To evaluate the correlations of SYPL2 expression with lymph node metastasis (LNM) and prognosis in patients with CRC.
METHODS The levels of expression of SYPL2 in CRC and normal colorectal tissues were analyzed in multiple public and online databases. The associations between clinical variables and SYPL2 expression were evaluated statistically, and the associations between SYPL2 expression and prognosis in patients with CRC were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and univariate/multivariate Cox regression analyses. SYPL2 expression was assessed in 20 paired CRC tissue and adjacent normal colorectal tissue samples obtained from Fuyang People’s Hospital, and the associations between SYPL2 expression and the clinical characteristics of these patients were investigated. Correlations between the levels of expression of SYPL2 and key targeted genes were determined by Pearson’s correlation analysis. The distribution of immune cells in these samples was calculated using the CIBERSORT algorithm. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to evaluate the biofunction and pathways of SYPL2 in CRC.
RESULTS SYPL2 expression was significantly lower in CRC tissue samples than in normal colorectal tissue samples (P < 0.05). High SYPL2 levels in CRC tissues correlated significantly with LNM (P < 0.05) and a poorer patient prognosis, including significantly shorter overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.9, P < 0.05] and disease-free survival (HR = 1.6, P < 0.05). High SYPL2 expression was an independent risk factor for OS in both univariate (HR = 2.078, P = 0.014) and multivariate (HR = 1.754, P = 0.018) Cox regression analyses. In addition, SYPL2 expression correlated significantly with the expression of KDR (P < 0.0001, r = 0.47) and the BRAFV600E mutation (P < 0.05). Higher SYPL2 expression was associated with the enrichment of CD8 T-cells and M0 macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. GSEA revealed that SYPL2 was associated with the regulation of epithelial cell migration, vasculature development, pathways in cancer, and several vital tumor-related pathways.
CONCLUSION SYPL2 expression was lower in CRC tissue than in normal colorectal tissue. Higher SYPL2 expression in CRC was significantly associated with LNM and poorer survival.

Abstract
Woody breast (WB) is a myopathy observed in broiler Pectoralis major (PM) characterized by its tough and rubbery texture with greater level of calcium content. The objective of this study was to investigate the functionality/integrity of WB sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which may contribute to the elevated calcium content observed in WB and other factors that may influence WB texture. Fourteen Ross line broiler PM [7 severe WB and 7 normal (N)] were selected, packaged, and frozen at -20°C at 8 h postmortem from a commercial processing plant. Samples were used to measure pH, sarcomere length, proteolysis, calpain activity, collagenase activity, collagen content, collagen crosslinks density, and connective tissue peak transitional temperature. Exudate was also collected from each sample to evaluate free calcium concentration. The SR fraction of the samples was separated and utilized for proteomic and lipidomic analysis. The WB PM had a higher pH, shorter sarcomeres, lower % of intact troponin-T, more autolyzed μ/m calpain, more activated collagenase, greater collagen content, greater mature collagen crosslinks density, and higher connective tissue peak transitional temperature than the N PM (p ≤ 0.05). Exudate from WB PM had higher levels of free calcium than those from N PM (p < 0.05). Proteomics data revealed an upregulation of calcium transport proteins and a downregulation of proteins responsible for calcium release (p < 0.05) in WB SR. Interestingly, there was an upregulation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), and cholinesterase exhibited a 7.6-fold increase in WB SR (p < 0.01). Lipidomics data revealed WB SR had less relative % of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and more lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC; p < 0.05). The results indicated that upregulation of calcium transport proteins and downregulation of calcium-release proteins in WB SR may be the muscle's attempt to regulate this proposed excessive signaling of calcium release due to multiple factors, such as upregulation of PLA2 resulting in PC hydrolysis and presence of cholinesterase inhibitors in the system prolonging action potential. In addition, the textural abnormality of WB may be the combined effects of shorter sarcomere length and more collagen with greater crosslink density being deposited in the broiler PM.

Abstract
Current knowledge on store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) regarding its localization, kinetics, and regulation is mostly derived from studies performed in non-excitable cells. After a long time of relative disinterest in skeletal muscle SOCE, this mechanism is now recognized as an essential contributor to muscle physiology, as highlighted by the muscle pathologies that are associated with mutations in the SOCE molecules STIM1 and Orai1. This review mainly focuses on the peculiar aspects of skeletal muscle SOCE that differentiate it from its counterpart found in non-excitable cells. This includes questions about SOCE localization and the movement of respective proteins in the highly organized skeletal muscle fibers, as well as the diversity of expressed STIM isoforms and their differential expression between muscle fiber types. The emerging evidence of a phasic SOCE, which is activated during EC coupling, and its physiological implication is described as well. The specific issues related to the use of SOCE modulators in skeletal muscles are discussed. This review highlights the complexity of SOCE activation and its regulation in skeletal muscle, with an emphasis on the most recent findings and the aim to reach a current picture of this mesmerizing phenomenon.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced contractile force production and increased fatigability of skeletal muscle. While the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis during muscle contraction is a requisite for optimal contractile function, the mechanisms underlying muscle contractile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes are unclear. Here, we investigated skeletal muscle contractile force and Ca2+ flux during contraction and pharmacological stimulation in type 2 diabetic model mice ( db/db mice). Furthermore, we investigated the effect of treadmill exercise training on muscle contractile function. In male db/db mice, muscle contractile force and peak Ca2+ levels were both lower during tetanic stimulation of the fast-twitch muscles, while Ca2+ accumulation was higher after stimulation compared with control mice. While 6 wk of exercise training did not improve glucose tolerance, exercise did improve muscle contractile dysfunction, peak Ca2+ levels, and Ca2+ accumulation following stimulation in male db/db mice. These data suggest that dysfunctional Ca2+ flux may contribute to skeletal muscle contractile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes and that exercise training may be a promising therapeutic approach for dysfunctional skeletal muscle contraction. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The purpose of this study was to examine muscle contractile function and Ca2+ regulation as well as the effect of exercise training in skeletal muscle in obese diabetic mice ( db/db). We observed impairment of muscle contractile force and Ca2+ regulation in a male type 2 diabetic animal model. These dysfunctions in muscle were improved by 6 wk of exercise training.

Abstract
MG53 is a member of the TRIM-family protein that acts as a key component of the cell membrane repair machinery. MG53 is also an E3-ligase that ubiquinates insulin receptor substrate-1 and controls insulin signaling in skeletal muscle cells. Since its discovery in 2009, research efforts have been devoted to translate this basic discovery into clinical applications in human degenerative and metabolic diseases. This review article highlights the dual function of MG53 in cell membrane repair and insulin signaling, the mechanism that underlies the control of MG53 function, and the therapeutic value of targeting MG53 function in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Recently developed high-throughput sequencing technology shows power to detect low-frequency disease-causing variants by deep sequencing of all known exons. We used exome sequencing to identify variants associated with morbid obesity. DNA from 100 morbidly obese adult subjects and 100 controls were pooled (n=10/pool), subjected to exome capture, and subsequent sequencing. At least 100 million sequencing reads were obtained from each pool. After several filtering steps and comparisons of observed frequencies of variants between obese and non-obese control pools, we systematically selected 144 obesity-enriched non-synonymous, splicing site or 5' upstream single-nucleotide variants for validation. We first genotyped 494 adult subjects with morbid obesity and 496 controls. Five obesity-associated variants (nominal P-value<0.05) were subsequently genotyped in 1425 morbidly obese and 782 controls. Out of the five variants, only rs62623713:A>G (NM_001040709:c.A296G:p.E99G) was confirmed. rs62623713 showed strong association with body mass index (beta=2.13 (1.09, 3.18), P=6.28 × 10(-5)) in a joint analysis of all 3197 genotyped subjects and had an odds ratio of 1.32 for obesity association. rs62623713 is a low-frequency (2.9% minor allele frequency) non-synonymous variant (E99G) in exon 4 of the synaptophysin-like 2 (SYPL2) gene. rs62623713 was not covered by Illumina or Affymetrix genotyping arrays used in previous genome-wide association studies. Mice lacking Sypl2 has been reported to display reduced body weight. In conclusion, using exome sequencing we identified a low-frequency coding variant in the SYPL2 gene that was associated with morbid obesity. This gene may be involved in the development of excess body fat.

Abstract
The deterioration of skeletal muscle with advancing age has long been anecdotally recognized and has been of scientific interest for more than 150 years. Over the past several decades, the scientific and medical communities have recognized that skeletal muscle dysfunction (e.g., muscle weakness, poor muscle coordination, etc.) is a debilitating and life-threatening condition in the elderly. For example, the age-associated loss of muscle strength is highly associated with both mortality and physical disability. It is well-accepted that voluntary muscle force production is not solely dependent upon muscle size, but rather results from a combination of neurologic and skeletal muscle factors, and that biologic properties of both of these systems are altered with aging. Accordingly, numerous scientists and clinicians have used the term "muscle quality" to describe the relationship between voluntary muscle strength and muscle size. In this review article, we discuss the age-associated changes in the neuromuscular system-starting at the level of the brain and proceeding down to the subcellular level of individual muscle fibers-that are potentially influential in the etiology of dynapenia (age-related loss of muscle strength and power).

Abstract
Background In frog skeletal muscle, two ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms, α-RyR and β-RyR, are expressed in nearly equal amounts. However, the roles and significance of the two isoforms in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling remains to be elucidated. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study, we expressed either or both α-RyR and β-RyR in 1B5 RyR-deficient myotubes using the herpes simplex virus 1 helper-free amplicon system. Immunological characterizations revealed that α-RyR and β-RyR are appropriately expressed and targeted at the junctions in 1B5 myotubes. In Ca2+ imaging studies, each isoform exhibited caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients, an indicative of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). However, the fashion of Ca2+ release events was fundamentally different: α-RyR mediated graded and sustained Ca2+ release observed uniformly throughout the cytoplasm, whereas β-RyR supported all-or-none type regenerative Ca2+ oscillations and waves. α-RyR but not β-RyR exhibited Ca2+ transients triggered by membrane depolarization with high [K+]o that were nifedipine-sensitive, indicating that only α-RyR mediates depolarization-induced Ca2+ release. Myotubes co-expressing α-RyR and β-RyR demonstrated high [K+]o-induced Ca2+ transients which were indistinguishable from those with myotubes expressing α-RyR alone. Furthermore, procaine did not affect the peak height of high [K+]o-induced Ca2+ transients, suggesting minor amplification of Ca2+ release by β-RyR via CICR in 1B5 myotubes. Conclusions/Significance These findings suggest that α-RyR and β-RyR provide distinct intracellular Ca2+ signals in a myogenic cell line. These distinct properties may also occur in frog skeletal muscle and will be important for E-C coupling.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in a population of skeletal muscle fibers of aged mice becomes dependent on the presence of external Ca(2+) ions (Payne, A.M., Zheng, Z., Gonzalez, E., Wang, Z.M., Messi, M.L., Delbono, O., 2004b. External Ca(2+)-dependent excitation - contraction coupling in a population of aging mouse skeletal muscle fibers. J. Physiol. 560, 137-155.). However, the mechanism(s) underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we examined the role of (1) extracellular Ca(2+); (2) voltage-induced influx of external Ca(2+) ions; (3) sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) depletion during repeated contractions; (4) store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE); (5) SR ultrastructure; (6) SR subdomain localization of the ryanodine receptor; and (7) sarcolemmal excitability in muscle force decline with aging. These experiments show that external Ca(2+), but not Ca(2+) influx, is needed to maintain force upon repetitive fiber electrical stimulation. Decline in fiber force is associated with depressed SR Ca(2+) release. SR Ca(2+) depletion, SOCE, and the putative segregated Ca(2+) release store do not play a significant role in external Ca(2+)-dependent contraction. More importantly, a significant number of action potentials fail in senescent mouse muscle fibers subjected to a stimulation frequency. These results indicate that failure to generate action potentials accounts for decreased intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and tetanic force in aging muscle exposed to a Ca(2+)-free medium.

Abstract
In aged skeletal muscle, changes to the composition and function of the contractile machinery cannot fully explain the observed decrease in the specific force produced by the contractile machinery that characterizes muscle weakness during aging. Since modification in extracellular Ca(2+) entry in aged nonexcitable and excitable cells has been recently identified, we evaluated the functional status of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in aged mouse skeletal muscle. Using Mn(2+) quenching of Fura-2 fluorescence and confocal-microscopic imaging of Ca(2+) movement from the transverse tubules, we determined that SOCE was severely compromised in muscle fibers isolated from aged mice (26-27 months) as compared with those from young (2-5 months) mice. While reduced SOCE in aged skeletal muscle does not appear to result from altered expression levels of STIM1 or reduced expression of mRNA for Orai, this reduction in SOCE is mirrored in fibers isolated from young mice null for mitsugumin-29, a synaptophysin-related protein that displays decreased expression in aged skeletal muscle. Our data suggest that decreased mitsugumin-29 expression and reduced SOCE may contribute to the diminished intracellular Ca(2+) homeostatic capacity generally associated with muscle aging.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release channel in cells. RyR1 and RyR2 are its isoforms expressed in the skeletal and cardiac muscles, respectively. Their missense mutations, which are clustered in three regions that correspond to each other, cause hereditary disorders such as malignant hyperthermia and central core disease in skeletal muscle and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in cardiac muscle. Their pathogeneses, however, are not well understood. The following hypotheses are favorably discussed in this article: phenotypes with RyR1 and RyR2 mutations are mainly caused by dysregulations of their functions through the interdomain interaction and luminal Ca(2+), respectively.

Abstract
Reduced homeostatic capacity for intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) movement may underlie the progression of sarcopenia and contractile dysfunction during muscle aging. We report two alterations to Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle that are associated with aging. Ca2+ sparks, which are the elemental units of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum, are silent under resting conditions in young muscle, yet activate in a dynamic manner upon deformation of membrane structures. The dynamic nature of Ca2+ sparks appears to be lost in aged skeletal muscle. Using repetitive voltage stimulation on isolated muscle preparations, we identify a segregated [Ca2+]i reserve that uncouples from the normal excitation-contraction process in aged skeletal muscle. Similar phenotypes are observed in adolescent muscle null for a synaptophysin-family protein named mitsugumin-29 (MG29) that is involved in maintenance of muscle membrane ultrastructure and Ca2+ signaling. This finding, coupled with decreased expression of MG29 in aged skeletal muscle, suggests that MG29 expression is important in maintaining skeletal muscle Ca2+ homeostasis during aging.

Abstract
The 95kDa triadin (or T95), the main skeletal muscle triadin isoform, negatively regulates the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling. T95 is a ryanodine receptor (RyR)-interacting protein but it also possesses a calsequestrin-interacting domain. RyR and calsequestrin are involved in Ca2+ signalling and, for instance, influence the activity of store-dependent Ca2+ channels (SOC). This work was undertaken to determine whether T95 was able to modulate the entry of Ca2+ through SOC. The experiments were carried out on differentiated rat myotubes over-expressing T95 or DsRed (control cells) by means of an adenovirus infection. Intracellular Ca2+ signals were analyzed using the Ca2+ indicator Fluo-4. The sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin was used to deplete intracellular Ca2+ stores. When applied in the presence of a Ca2+-free medium, thapsigargin elicited transient but long-lasting Fluo-4 responses by elevating the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). The over-expression of T95 reduced the thapsigargin-dependent [Ca2+]i increase, with respect to control myotubes. Addition of extracellular Ca2+after the depletion of this Ca2+ pool was accompanied by a [Ca2+]i increase that was sensitive to the SOC blockers 2-APB, SKF-96365 and La3+. The over-expression of T95 reduced this Ca2+ influx, without changing its pharmacological properties, showing that T95 over-expression did not alter the properties of the SOC. In conclusion, the RyR-interacting molecule T95, recently shown to inhibit the excitation-contraction coupling, has also the ability to interfere with the skeletal muscle Ca2+ signalling by depressing thapsigargin-dependent Ca2+ release and influx.

Abstract
In skeletal muscle, Ca(2+) is implicated in contraction, and in regulation of gene expression. An alteration of [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis is responsible, at least partially, for the muscle degeneration that occurs after eccentric contractions in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease characterized by the loss of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. Using patch clamp in the cell-attached configuration, we characterized the store-operated channels (SOCs) and the stretch-activated channels (SACs) present in isolated mouse skeletal muscle. SOCs were voltage independent, had a unitary conductance between 7 and 8 pS (110 mm Ca(2+) in the pipette), and their open probability increased when the sarcoplasmic reticulum was depleted by thapsigargin. These SOCs were identical to those previously described in the pathophysiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under the same experimental conditions, we detected a channel activity that was increased by applying a negative pressure to the patch electrode. The SACs responsible for this current had the same unitary conductance and current-voltage relationship as those observed for SOCs. SOCs and SACs had a similar sensitivity to pharmacological agents such as Gd(3+), SKF-96365, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and GsMTx4 toxin. Moreover, stimulation with IGF-1 increased the occurrence of the activity of both channel types. Together, these observations suggest that SOCs and SACs might belong to the same population or share common constituents. From a functional point of view, treatment of soleus muscle with SKF-96365 or GsMTx4 toxin increased its sensitivity to a fatigue protocol, suggesting that the influx of Ca(2+) that occurs through these channels during contraction is also involved in force maintaining during repeated stimulations.

Abstract
As a major Ca(2+) source for muscle contraction, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle maintains its Ca(2+) content by uptake of myoplasmic Ca(2+) and by replenishment with extracellular Ca(2+). Since transection of motor nerve alters the functions of SR Ca(2+) pump and sarcolemma ion channels, this study explored the effect of denervation on the contracture evoked by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an inhibitor of SR Ca(2+) pump. In innervated hemidiaphragm, CPA elicited a bimodal elevation of muscle tone, which was dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) and differentially inhibited by pretreatment with 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane (APB) and U73122. Activation of muscle Na(+) channels to simulate denervation-induced membrane depolarization did not change the contracture profile. After denervation for 5-14 days when the contracture induced by caffeine was not yet depressed, CPA elicited only APB-sensitive monophasic contracture. Stimulation of ATP-regulated K(+) channels with lemakalim hyperpolarized muscle membrane and attenuated CPA contracture in denervated, but not innervated, hemidiaphragm. The effects of lemakalim were antagonized by glybenclamide. It is inferred that the bimodal CPA contracture is resulted from distinct recruitments of Ca(2+) entry and that denervation alters the voltage dependence and down-regulates CPA-mediated Ca(2+) influx.

Abstract
In the present work, we investigate whether changes in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling mode occur in skeletal muscles from ageing mammals by examining the dependence of EC coupling on extracellular Ca(2+). Single intact muscle fibres from flexor digitorum brevis muscles from young (2-6 months) and old (23-30 months) mice were subjected to tetanic contractile protocols in the presence and absence of external Ca(2+). Contractile experiments in the absence of external Ca(2+) show that about half of muscle fibres from old mice are dependent upon external Ca(2+) for maintaining maximal tetanic force output, while young fibres are not. Decreased force in the absence of external Ca(2+) was not due to changes in charge movement as revealed by whole-cell patch-clamp experiments. Ca(2+) transients, measured by fluo-4 fluorescence, declined in voltage-clamped fibres from old mice in the absence of external Ca(2+). Similarly, Ca(2+) transients declined in parallel with tetanic contractile force in single intact fibres. Examination of inward Ca(2+) current and of mRNA and protein assays suggest that these changes in EC coupling mode are not due to shifts in dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) and/or ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms. These results indicate that a change in EC coupling mode occurs in a population of fibres in ageing skeletal muscle, and is responsible for the age-related dependence on extracellular Ca(2+).

Abstract
We showed that frog alpha-ryanodine receptor (alpha-RyR) had a lower gain of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) activity than beta-RyR in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles, indicating selective "stabilization" of the former isoform (Murayama T and Ogawa Y. J Biol Chem 276: 2953-2960, 2001). To know whether this is also the case with mammalian RyR1, we determined [(3)H]ryanodine binding of RyR1 and RyR3 in bovine diaphragm SR vesicles. The value of [(3)H]ryanodine binding (B) was normalized by the number of maximal binding sites (B(max)), whereby the specific activity of each isoform was expressed. This B/B(max) expression demonstrated that ryanodine binding of individual channels for RyR1 was <15% that for RyR3. Responses to Ca(2+), Mg(2+), adenine nucleotides, and caffeine were not substantially different between in situ and purified isoforms. These results suggest that the gain of CICR activity of RyR1 is markedly lower than that of RyR3 in mammalian skeletal muscle, indicating selective stabilization of RyR1 as is true of frog alpha-RyR. The stabilization was partly eliminated by FK506 and partly by solubilization of the vesicles with CHAPS, each of which was additive to the other. In contrast, high salt, which greatly enhances [(3)H]ryanodine binding, caused only a minor effect on the stabilization of RyR1. None of the T-tubule components, coexisting RyR3, or calmodulin was the cause. The CHAPS-sensitive intra- and intermolecular interactions that are common between mammalian and frog skeletal muscles and the isoform-specific inhibition by FKBP12, which is characteristic of mammals, are likely to be the underlying mechanisms.
