Comparative analysis of signalling pathways in tissue protein metabolism in efficient and non-efficient beef cattle: acute response to an identical single meal size. Animal 2023; 17:101017. [PMID: 37948891 DOI: 10.1016/j.animal.2023.101017] [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: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Protein turnover has been associated to residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle. However, this relationship may be confounded by feeding level and affected by the composition of the diet being fed. Our aim was to assess postmortem the protein metabolism signalling pathways in skeletal muscle and liver of 32 Charolais young bulls with extreme RFI phenotypes. Bulls were fed two contrasting diets during the whole fattening period but were subjected to a similar and single nutritional stimulus, induced by their respective concentrate, just prior to slaughter. The key targets were protein degradation (autophagy and ubiquitin) and synthesis signalling pathways through western-blot analysis, as well as hepatic transaminase activity. To ensure a precise assessment of all animals at the same postprandial time, they were provided with a test meal (2.5 kg of either a high-starch and high-protein concentrate or high-fibre and low-protein concentrate) 3 hours prior to slaughter, irrespective of their RFI grouping. Blood and tissues were sampled at the slaughterhouse (3 h and 3 h30 postprandially, respectively). In response to an identical single meal size, efficient RFI animals showed higher (P < 0.05) postprandial plasma β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations and insulinemia (only with the high-starch concentrate) than non-efficient animals. Moreover, efficient RFI bulls had lower muscle (P = 0.04) and liver (P = 0.08) ubiquitin protein abundance (degradation pathway) and tended to have lower alanine transaminase activity in the liver (P = 0.06) compared to non-efficient bulls, regardless of diet. A positive correlation between protein degradation potential and amino acid catabolism was identified in this study (r = 0.52, P = 0.004), which was interpreted as being biologically linked to the RFI phenotype. Efficient RFI bulls also had a faster potential for protein synthesis in the muscle, as indicated by their greater ratio of phosphorylated to total form of ribosomal protein S6 kinase (P = 0.05), regardless of diet. Results on protein synthesis pathway in muscle and plasma metabolite concentrations suggested that efficient RFI cattle may have a faster nutrient absorption and insulin responsiveness after feeding than inefficient cattle. We did not find significant differences in hepatic protein synthesis pathways between the two RFI groups (P > 0.05). Our findings suggest that, in response to an identical single meal size, efficient RFI animals exhibited lower activation of tissue protein degradation pathways and faster muscle protein synthesis activation compared to their inefficient counterparts. This pattern was observed regardless of the composition of the tested meals.

Abstract
As chronic renal failure (CRF) worsens, the nutritional balance is disrupt ed at several different levels that are normally responsible for maintaining metabolic homeostasis (1–3). These abnormalities may remain constant, improve, or worsen once dialysis is initiated. The success of dialytic intervention in correcting these abnormalities depends not only on the actual dose of delivered therapy, but also on the availability of nutrient substrate and the ease of modulating body composition. In the general population body composition has long been used as a predictor for mortality (4). Several different approaches have been taken to identify individuals at risk for a poor outcome (5). These techniques may examine specific serological parameters or actual components of body composition thought to more precisely depict nutritional balance. Historically, many reports have stressed the link between serum albumin levels and patient survival for both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (6–11). However, some authors have questioned the usefulness of this marker (12–14). Based on these concerns, defining nutritional status through body composition measurements may offer a more meaningful assessment than standard serological parameters. Furthermore, in the setting of uremia the ability to successfully modulate body composition may denote the essence of what aptimal dialysis should signify. Conceptually, optimal dialysis represents the therapeutic return of an individual to nutritional balance, with an expected survival comparable to that of age, gender, and disease-matched nonuremic individuals. Because of the complexity of maintaining nutrient balance, the definition of adequate dialysis should be re-evaluated. Contemporary dialysis practice should extend beyond solely quantitating dialysis to include an understanding of nutrient balance, regulation of food intake, and the application of surveillance tools for identifying abnormalities in body composition. Only through expanding the end points of adequate dialysis can we move closer to optimal dialysis synonymous with long-term treatment survival.

Abstract
Oxidative stress accelerates the development of cardiovascular disease. Plasma cystine, a thiol oxidative stress marker, is related to several established factors for cardiovascular disease risk and prognosis. Although a comprehensive oxidative stress index is clinically required for hemodialysis patients with high oxidative stress, there are few reports concerning thiol oxidative stress markers predicting their prognosis. We investigated the relationship between plasma amino acids including cystine levels and cardiovascular disease-related and all-cause mortality in 132 maintenance hemodialysis patients. Higher cystine levels were associated with old age, longer hemodialysis duration, hemodialysis-associated hypotension, higher cardiothoracic ratio, higher blood urea nitrogen, and lower ankle-brachial index. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that high plasma cystine was independently related with both cardiovascular disease mortality and all-cause mortality. Thus, high plasma cystine levels predict the prognosis of hemodialysis patients. High cystine levels necessitate a careful investigation for the cause of oxidative stress and comorbidities like vascular injury.

Abstract
We examined whether high flux membranes (HF) may induce a greater loss of amino acids compared to low flux membranes (LF). Ten hemodialysis patients participated in this study. Pre- and post-hemodialysis plasma amino acid profiles were measured by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography for both HF and LF. We measured the dialysate amino acid losses during hemodialysis. The reduction difference for plasma total amino acid (TAA), essential amino acid (EAA), and branch chained amino acid (BCAA) was not significantly different in comparisons between the two membranes. (HF vs. LF; TAA 66.85 +/- 30.56 vs. 53.78 +/- 41.28, p=0.12; EAA 14.79 +/-17.16 vs. 17.97 +/- 28.69, p=0.12; BCAA 2.21 +/- 6.08 vs. 4.16 +/- 10.98 mg/L, p=0.13). For the HF, the reduction in plasma amino acid levels for TAA and EAA were statistically significant. Although it was not statistically significant, the dialysate losses of BCAA were greater than the reduction in plasma (plasma reduction vs. dialysate loss; HF 2.21 +/- 6.08 vs. 6.58 +/- 4.32, LF 4.16 +/- 10.98 vs. 7.96 +/- 3.25 mg/L). HF with large pores and a sieving coefficient do not influence dialysate amino acid losses. Hemodialysis itself may influence the dialysate amino acid losses and may have an effect on protein metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acute and chronic kidney failure lead to catabolism with loss of lean body mass. Up-regulation of hepatic urea synthesis may play a role for the loss of body nitrogen and for the level of uraemia. The aims were to investigate the effects of early and late experimental renal failure on the regulation of hepatic urea synthesis and the expression of urea cycle enzyme genes in the liver. METHODS We examined the in vivo capacity of urea nitrogen synthesis, mRNA levels of urea cycle enzyme genes, and N-balances 6 days and 21 days after 5/6th partial nephrectomy in rats, and compared these data with pair- and free-fed control animals. RESULTS Compared with pair-fed animals, early uraemia halved the in vivo urea synthesis capacity and decreased urea gene expressions (P<0.05). In contrast, late uraemia up-regulated in vivo urea synthesis and expression of all urea genes (P<0.05), save that of the flux-generating enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase. The N-balance in rats with early uraemia was markedly negative (P<0.05) and near zero in late uraemia. CONCLUSIONS Early uraemia down-regulated urea synthesis, so hepatic ureagenesis was not in itself involved in the negative N-balance. In contrast, late uraemia up-regulated urea synthesis, which probably contributed towards the reduced N-balance of this condition. These time-dependent, opposite effects on the uraemia-induced regulation of urea synthesis in vivo were not related to food restriction and probably mostly reflected regulation on gene level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic acidosis is a feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the reduced capacity of the kidney to synthesise ammonia and excrete hydrogen ions. It has adverse consequences on protein and muscle metabolism, bone turnover and the development of renal osteodystrophy. Metabolic acidosis may be corrected by oral bicarbonate supplementation or in dialysis patients by increasing the bicarbonate concentration in dialysate fluid. OBJECTIVES To examine the benefits and harms of treating metabolic acidosis in patients with CKD, both prior to reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or whilst on renal replacement therapy (RRT), with sodium bicarbonate or increasing the bicarbonate concentration of dialysate. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library, issue 4 2005), Cochrane Renal Group's specialised register (October 2005), MEDLINE (1966 - October 2005) and EMBASE (1980 - October 2005). SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), crossover RCTs and quasi-RCTs investigating the correction of chronic metabolic acidosis in adults or children with CKD. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Outcomes were analysed using relative risk (RR) and weighted mean difference (MD) for continuous measures. MAIN RESULTS We identified three trials in adult dialysis patients (n = 117). There were insufficient data for most outcomes for meta-analysis. In all three trials acidosis improved in the intervention group though there was variation in achieved bicarbonate level. There was no evidence of effect on blood pressure or sodium levels. Some measures of nutritional status/protein metabolism (e.g. SGA, NP NA) were significantly improved by correction in the one trial that looked in these in detail. There was heterogeneity of the effect on serum albumin in two trials. Serum PTH fell significantly in the two trials that estimated this, there was no significant effect on calcium or phosphate though both fell after correction. Complex bone markers were assessed in one study, with some evidence for a reduction in bone turnover in those with initial high bone turnover and an increase in low turnover patients. The studies were underpowered to assess clinical outcomes, in the one study that did there was some evidence for a reduction in hospitalisation after correction. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The evidence for the benefits and risks of correcting metabolic acidosis is very limited with no RCTs in pre-ESRD patients, none in children, and only three small trials in dialysis patients. These trials suggest there may be some beneficial effects on both protein and bone metabolism but the trials were underpowered to provide robust evidence.

Abstract
The relationship between dialysis dose and nutrition is a field of particular interest in chronic pediatric dialysis (PD), and a positive correlation between ureaKt/V and nPNA has been published, suggesting a better nutritional status is associated with higher dialysis doses. However, this relationship has also been criticized as being the result of a mathematical coupling resulting from the same variables. The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between dialysis dose (Kt/V) and nutritional variables: daily protein intake (DPI), protein catabolic rate (PCR), protein equivalent of total nitrogen appearance (PNA) and nitrogen balance (NB) in dialyzed children. A cohort, prospective, observational study was carried out, for which 223 biochemical measurements were performed in 20 patients, ages 1 month to 14.3 years old (13 males), under PD for a 12-month period of follow-up. Monthly residual and total ureaKt/V, DPI, PCR, nPNA and NB were calculated, and the correlation between Kt/V and the nutritional parameters was evaluated. The Borah equation was used to calculate the nPNA. The data are reported as the mean plus or minus the standard error. All statistical comparisons were done with a paired t test, and two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was used to calculate correlations. A P <0.05 was considered significant. Mean total and residual Kt/V was 3.4+/-1.3 and 1.69+/-1.27, respectively; nPNA and PCR were 1.38+/-0.44 and 1.39+/-0.43 g/kg/day, daily protein intake (DPI) was 3.25+/-1.27 g/kg/day, and NB showed a value of 1.86+/-1.25 g/kg/day. A significant positive correlation was found between Kt/V and DPI, PCR, DPC and nPNA (all values P <0.0001), but no correlation was found between total and residual Kt/V vs. nitrogen balance ( P:ns). Total Kt/V showed a significant positive correlation with nPNA, but it did not show any correlation with nitrogen balance, suggesting that the relationship with nPNA is the result of a mathematical association calculated from the same variables.

Abstract
Dietary modification is of primary importance in managing cats with chronic renal failure. Diets designed for cats with chronic renal failure are typically formulated to be pH neutral and contain reduced quantities of protein, phosphorus and sodium and an increased quantity of potassium. These changes in diet formulation are designed to ameliorate clinical signs of renal failure by adapting dietary intakes to meet the limited ability of failing kidneys to adapt to the normal range of dietary intakes. Important recent clinical trials support the therapeutic value of dietary therapy in cats with chronic renal failure.

Abstract
Rats and humans with chronic renal failure (CRF) are reported to have resistance to recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1). Because basal cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i), a second messenger, may be increased in CRF, this study was conducted to examine whether elevated basal [Ca2+]i may cause resistance to IGF-1. Cardiomyocytes from four groups of rats were studied: untreated CRF, CRF with parathyroidectomy (PTX), CRF with the calcium channel blocker felodipine (F), and sham operation of the kidney (SO). CRF was created by ligation of two-thirds of the left renal artery and contralateral nephrectomy. Rats from each group were pair-fed the same diet for 20 to 22 d. Basal [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes (nM) in the CRF rats (102.0 +/- 2.8; SEM), was significantly higher than in each of the CRF-PTX, CRF-F, and SO groups (65.2 +/- 1.9, 63.8 +/- 2.6, and 63.5 +/- 2.0, respectively; P < 0.01). rhIGF-1 increased cardiomyocyte [Ca2+]i in all four groups of rats. The rise in [Ca2+]i was significantly diminished in the CRF rats (P < 0.05) and did not differ among the CRF-PTX, CRF-F, and SO rats. Protein synthesis after incubation with 0, 50, 100, 200, or 400 ng/ml rhIGF-1 was lower in cardiomyocytes from CRF rats than in each of the other three groups (P < 0.05) and was significantly less in the CRF-F rats compared with SO animals. IGF-1 receptor mRNA and IGF-1 receptor number and affinity were not different among the four groups. These findings suggest that cardiomyocytes from CRF rats display elevated basal [Ca2+]i and attenuated rhIGF-1-induced increase in [Ca2+]i; basal protein synthesis is decreased, and IGF-1-stimulated protein synthesis is impaired; elevated basal [Ca2+]i seems to contribute to this diminished response to rhIGF-1.

Abstract
Resistance or strength exercise training may help reverse the malnutrition common among patients in chronic renal failure and delay the progression of renal disease. Resistance training is characterized by resisting, lifting, and lowering weights. It results in muscle mass accretion, improved physical function, and slowed progression of muscle wasting. Resistance exercise training for a period of 8 to 12 weeks results in significant increases in muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle function in frail "healthy" elderly individuals as well as in specific patient populations. States of malnutrition leading to muscle wasting directly affect lean tissue mass and functional capacity. Even at dietary protein intake below the Recommended Dietary Allowances, resistance training appears to exert an anabolic effect by improving energy intake and protein use allowing nitrogen retention. The potential benefits of resistance exercise extend beyond this direct impact on protein metabolism. They include improvements in functional capacity such as gait, balance, mobility, strength, exercise tolerance, improved glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and self-efficacy and self-esteem. Currently, the effects of resistance exercise in renal patients are unknown, although they are well shown in the case of other diseases. The potential benefits that resistance exercise training may have on muscle mass and function, nutritional status, hyperglycemia, disease progression, and the overall mental well-being of renal patients deserve further investigation. As an adjunct to current treatment modalities for chronic renal failure, resistance exercise may serve as a cost-effective, interdisciplinary, noninvasive approach to counteract malnutrition and improve the quality of life.

Abstract
The actions of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on protein turnover and of the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) were examined in skeletal muscle of rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) and sham operated (SO), pair-fed controls. Acidemia was prevented in CRF rats with NaHCO3. Serum IGF-1 and skeletal muscle IGF-1 and IGF-1 mRNA were reduced in CRF rats. Dose-response studies revealed impaired stimulation of protein synthesis and suppressed inhibition of protein degradation by IGF-1 in epitrochlearis muscle of CRF rats. Neither IGF-1 analogues with low affinity to IGF binding proteins nor proteinase inhibitors obliterated the IGF-1 resistance. In CRF rats, skeletal muscle IGF-1R mRNA was increased; displacement ligand binding studies and affinity labeling of the IGF-1R alpha subunit indicated increased total skeletal muscle IGF-1R number with normal affinity. However, both autophosphorylation of the IGF-1R beta subunit (i.e., IGF-1R tyrosine kinase) and the IGF-1R tyrosine kinase activity towards exogenous insulin receptor substrate-1, a natural substrate for IGF-1R tyrosine kinase, were reduced in CRF fats. These data indicate that in skeletal muscle of CRF rats there is resistance to the IGF-1 effects on protein synthesis and degradation and decreased IGF-1 and IGF-1 mRNA levels; IGF-1R mRNA and number are increased; but activity of IGF-1R tyrosine kinase is impaired. This postreceptor defect may be a cause of the skeletal muscle resistance to IGF-1 in CRF.

Abstract
Lactate-buffered peritoneal solution traditionally has been used as dialysate for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the United States because no bicarbonate solution is commercially available. Since 1994, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Dialysis Unit has prepared a bicarbonate solution (sodium 144 +/- 3 mEq/L, HCO3 37 +/- 2 mEq/L, potassium 3 or 4 mEq/L, calcium 3.0 +/- 0.3 mEq/L, and magnesium 1.4 +/- 0.3 mg/dL) replicating the dialysate for chronic intermittent hemodialysis. No solute precipitation, as calcium or magnesium salts, were observed, and several cultures of the solution, performed at various time periods, remained negative. Fifty critically ill acute renal failure patients have been treated with bicarbonate-CRRT. All patients were in multiple organ failure and required mechanical ventilation; 37 were receiving vasopressors. Forty-four continuous venovenous hemodialysis sessions and eight continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis sessions were performed with a mean duration of 7.8 +/- 6.1 days. The mean inflow dialysate rate was 1,249 +/- 225 mL/hr and the mean outflow rate (dialysate plus ultrafiltration) was 1,399 +/- 237 mL/hr; the inflow rate was constantly kept lower or equal to the outflow rate to avoid an enhanced potential for backfiltration. No related fever spikes or sepsis episodes were noted.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Hypoalbuminemia among chronic hemodialysis patients is recognized as a poor prognostic sign. We observed that many of our chronic patients had a progressive decrease in their plasma albumin concentrations after they were converted to high flux, high efficiency dialysis from conventional dialysis mode. This change occurred in the absence of changes in the KT/V and protein catabolic rate (pcr) normalized to body mass. When nitrogen losses were measured, we found no difference in the dialysate concentrations of urea, alpha amino nitrogen, uric acid, or total nitrogen when high flux polysulfone was compared with high efficiency Cuprophan. While urea was the predominant nitrogen solute in all dialysate samples, there were some with a large gap between total and urea nitrogen. Alpha amino nitrogen losses, expressed as leucine equivalents, were substantial, ranging from 8.4 to 9.8 g/3.5 h dialysis treatment. We believe that the increased losses of nitrogen experienced by patients after their conversion to a more efficient method of dialysis and not compensated for by a spontaneous increased intake of protein led to the observed fall in plasma albumin. Both urea and amino acid nitrogen losses need to be accounted for when achievement of higher KT/V dialysis is pursued.
