Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA) is characterized by neurological and skeletal pathologies caused by reduced activity of the lysosomal hydrolase, sulfamidase, and the subsequent primary accumulation of undegraded heparan sulfate (HS). Respiratory pathology is considered secondary in MPS IIIA and the mechanisms are not well understood. Changes in the amount, metabolism, and function of pulmonary surfactant, the substance that regulates alveolar interfacial surface tension and modulates lung compliance and elastance, have been reported in MPS IIIA mice. Here we investigated changes in lung function in 20-wk-old control and MPS IIIA mice with a closed and open thoracic cage, diaphragm contractile properties, and potential parenchymal remodeling. MPS IIIA mice had increased compliance and airway resistance and reduced tissue damping and elastance compared with control mice. The chest wall impacted lung function as observed by an increase in airway resistance and a decrease in peripheral energy dissipation in the open compared with the closed thoracic cage state in MPS IIIA mice. Diaphragm contractile forces showed a decrease in peak twitch force, maximum specific force, and the force-frequency relationship but no change in muscle fiber cross-sectional area in MPS IIIA mice compared with control mice. Design-based stereology did not reveal any parenchymal remodeling or destruction of alveolar septa in the MPS IIIA mouse lung. In conclusion, the increased storage of HS which leads to biochemical and biophysical changes in pulmonary surfactant also affects lung and diaphragm function, but has no impact on lung or diaphragm structure at this stage of the disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Heparan sulfate storage in the lungs of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA) mice leads to changes in lung function consistent with those of an obstructive lung disease and includes an increase in lung compliance and airway resistance and a decrease in tissue elastance. In addition, diaphragm muscle contractile strength is reduced, potentially further contributing to lung function impairment. However, no changes in parenchymal lung structure were observed in mice at 20 wk of age.

Aging-affiliated post-translational modifications of skeletal muscle myosin affect biochemical properties, myofibril structure, muscle function, and proteostasis. Aging Cell 2024; 23:e14134. [PMID: 38506610 DOI: 10.1111/acel.14134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The molecular motor myosin is post-translationally modified in its globular head, its S2 hinge, and its thick filament domain during human skeletal muscle aging. To determine the importance of such modifications, we performed an integrative analysis of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster expressing myosin containing post-translational modification mimic mutations. We determined effects on muscle function, myofibril structure, and myosin biochemistry. Modifications in the homozygous state decreased jump muscle function by a third at 3 weeks of age and reduced indirect flight muscle function to negligible levels in young flies, with severe effects on flight muscle myofibril assembly and/or maintenance. Expression of mimic mutations in the heterozygous state or in a wild-type background yielded significant, but less severe, age-dependent effects upon flight muscle structure and function. Modification of the residue in the globular head disabled ATPase activity and in vitro actin filament motility, whereas the S2 hinge mutation reduced actin-activated ATPase activity by 30%. The rod modification diminished filament formation in vitro. The latter mutation also reduced proteostasis, as demonstrated by enhanced accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins. Overall, we find that mutation of amino acids at sites that are chemically modified during human skeletal muscle aging can disrupt myosin ATPase, myosin filament formation, and/or proteostasis, providing a mechanistic basis for the observed muscle defects. We conclude that age-specific post-translational modifications present in human skeletal muscle are likely to act in a dominant fashion to affect muscle structure and function and may therefore be implicated in degeneration and dysfunction associated with sarcopenia.

Abstract
Actin-myosin interactions form the basis of the force-producing contraction cycle within the sarcomere, serving as the primary mechanism for muscle contraction. Post-translational modifications, such as oxidation, have a considerable impact on the mechanics of these interactions. Considering their widespread occurrence, the explicit contributions of these modifications to muscle function remain an active field of research. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the basic mechanics of the actin-myosin complex and elucidate the extent to which oxidation influences the contractile cycle and various mechanical characteristics of this complex at the single-molecule, myofibrillar and whole-muscle levels. We place particular focus on amino acids shown to be vulnerable to oxidation in actin, myosin, and some of their binding partners. Additionally, we highlight the differences between in vitro environments, where oxidation is controlled and limited to actin and myosin and myofibrillar or whole muscle environments, to foster a better understanding of oxidative modification in muscle. Thus, this review seeks to encompass a broad range of studies, aiming to lay out the multi layered effects of oxidation in in vitro and in vivo environments, with brief mention of clinical muscular disorders associated with oxidative stress.

Molecular and biochemical investigations of the anti-fatigue effects of tea polyphenols and fruit extracts of Lycium ruthenicum Murr. on mice with exercise-induced fatigue. Front Mol Biosci 2023; 10:1223411. [PMID: 37416624 PMCID: PMC10319583 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1223411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The molecular mechanisms regulating the therapeutic effects of plant-based ingredients on the exercise-induced fatigue (EIF) remain unclear. The therapeutic effects of both tea polyphenols (TP) and fruit extracts of Lycium ruthenicum (LR) on mouse model of EIF were investigated. Methods: The variations in the fatigue-related biochemical factors, i.e., lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), in mouse models of EIF treated with TP and LR were determined. The microRNAs involved in the therapeutic effects of TP and LR on the treatment of mice with EIF were identified using the next-generation sequencing technology. Results: Our results revealed that both TP and LR showed evident anti-inflammatory effect and reduced oxidative stress. In comparison with the control groups, the contents of LDH, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-2 were significantly decreased and the contents of SOD were significantly increased in the experimental groups treated with either TP or LR. A total of 23 microRNAs (21 upregulated and 2 downregulated) identified for the first time by the high-throughput RNA sequencing were involved in the molecular response to EIF in mice treated with TP and LR. The regulatory functions of these microRNAs in the pathogenesis of EIF in mice were further explored based on Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses with a total of over 20,000-30,000 target genes annotated and 44 metabolic pathways enriched in the experimental groups based on GO and KEGG databases, respectively. Conclusion: Our study revealed the therapeutic effects of TP and LR and identified the microRNAs involved in the molecular mechanisms regulating the EIF in mice, providing strong experimental evidence to support further agricultural development of LR as well as the investigations and applications of TP and LR in the treatment of EIF in humans, including the professional athletes.

Comparative Effect of Three Different Exercise Intensities in Combination with Diazoxide on Contraction Capacity and Oxidative Stress of Skeletal Muscle in Obese Rats. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11091367. [PMID: 36138845 PMCID: PMC9495795 DOI: 10.3390/biology11091367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Obesity is a growing public health problem worldwide. It is a pathological state that degrades the proper functioning of skeletal muscle. Diazoxide treatment and exercise have been shown to generally improve muscle function. However, the effect that each of the different exercise intensities has when combined with diazoxide on the contraction capacity, resistance to fatigue and oxidative stress levels in rat skeletal muscle is unknown. Therefore, this work focused on analyzing which exercise intensity was more efficient in combination with diazoxide in improving muscle tissue and its metabolic capacities. The best results were obtained with low- and moderate-intensity exercise when combined with the drug. These results expected to open a window of time that allows the implementation of a constant and prolonged exercise protocol that completely reverses the harmful effects of obesity on muscle tissue and obesity itself. Abstract Obesity is a chronic disease that impairs skeletal muscle function, affects the ability to contract, and promotes the development of fatigue. For this reason, the study of treatments that seek to reduce the harmful effects of obesity on muscle tissue has been deepened. Diazoxide treatment and various exercise protocols have been proposed to protect skeletal muscle against oxidative stress and its effects. However, the intensity and duration of exercise combined with diazoxide that would obtain the best results for improving skeletal muscle function in obese rats is unknown. To this end, this study evaluated the effects of three different exercise intensities combined with diazoxide on contraction capacity, resistance to fatigue, markers of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, ROS, and glutathione redox status of skeletal muscle. The results showed that treatments with diazoxide and exercise at different intensities improved muscle contraction capacity by reducing oxidative stress during obesity, with the best results being obtained with low-intensity exercise in combination with diazoxide. Therefore, these results suggest that diazoxide and low-intensity exercise improve muscle function during obesity by decreasing oxidative stress with the same efficiency as a moderate-intensity exercise protocol.

Abstract
When muscle fibers from limb muscles are stretched while activated, the force increases to a steady-state level that is higher than that produced during isometric contractions at a corresponding sarcomere length, a phenomenon known as residual force enhancement (RFE). The mechanisms responsible for the RFE are an increased stiffness of titin molecules which may lead to an increased Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus,and the development of sarcomere length non-uniformities. RFE is not observed in cardiac muscles, which makes this phenomenon specific to certain preparations. The aim of this study was to investigate if the RFE is present in the diaphragm, and its potential association with an increased Ca2+ sensitivity and the development of sarcomere length non-uniformities. We used two preparations: single intact fibers and myofibrils isolated from the diaphragm from mice. We investigated RFE in a variety of lengths across the force-length relationship. RFE was observed in both preparations at all lengths investigated, and was larger with increasing magnitudes of stretch. RFE was accompanied by an increased Ca2+ sensitivity as shown by a change in the force-pCa2+-curve, and increased sarcomere length non-uniformities. Therefore, RFE is a phenomenon commonly observed in skeletal muscles, with mechanisms that are similar across preparations.

Abstract
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders. MDS patients often require red blood cell transfusions, resulting in iron overload (IOL). IOL increases production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxygen free radicals. We review and illustrate how IOL-induced ROS influence cellular activities relevant to MDS pathophysiology. ROS damage lipids, nucleic acids in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, structural proteins, transcription factors and enzymes. Cellular consequences include decreased metabolism and tissue and organ dysfunction. In hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), consequences of ROS include decreased glycolysis, shifting the cell from anaerobic to aerobic metabolism and causing HSC to exit the quiescent state, leading to HSC exhaustion or senescence. ROS oxidizes DNA bases, resulting in accumulation of mutations. Membrane oxidation alters fluidity and permeability. In summary, evidence indicates that IOL-induced ROS alters cellular signaling pathways resulting in toxicity to organs and hematopoietic cells, in keeping with adverse clinical outcomes in MDS.

Abstract
Phosphorylase is one of the most carefully studied proteins in history, but knowledge of its regulation during intense muscle contraction is incomplete. Tyrosine nitration of purified preparations of skeletal muscle phosphorylase results in inactivation of the enzyme and this is prevented by antioxidants. Whether an altered redox state affects phosphorylase activity and glycogenolysis in contracting muscle is not known. Here, we investigate the role of the redox state in control of phosphorylase and glycogenolysis in isolated mouse fast-twitch (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and slow-twitch (soleus) muscle preparations during repeated contractions. Exposure of crude muscle extracts to H2O2 had little effect on phosphorylase activity. However, exposure of extracts to peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a nitrating/oxidizing agent, resulted in complete inactivation of phosphorylase (half-maximal inhibition at ∼200 µM ONOO-), which was fully reversed by the presence of an ONOO- scavanger, dithiothreitol (DTT). Incubation of isolated muscles with ONOO- resulted in nitration of phosphorylase and marked inhibition of glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. ONOO- also resulted in large decreases in high-energy phosphates (ATP and phosphocreatine) in the rested state and following repeated contractions. These metabolic changes were associated with decreased force production during repeated contractions (to ∼60% of control). In contrast, repeated contractions did not result in nitration of phosphorylase, nor did DTT or the general antioxidant N-acetylcysteine alter glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. These findings demonstrate that ONOO- inhibits phosphorylase and glycogenolysis in living muscle under extreme conditions. However, nitration does not play a significant role in control of phosphorylase and glycogenolysis during repeated contractions.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Here we show that exogenous peroxynitrite results in nitration of phosphorylase as well as inhibition of glycogenolysis in isolated intact mouse skeletal muscle during short-term repeated contractions. However, repeated contractions in the absence of exogenous peroxynitrite do not result in nitration of phosphorylase or affect glycogenolysis, nor does the addition of antioxidants alter glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. Thus phosphorylase is not subject to redox control during repeated contractions.

Abstract
The study examined whether men with type 2 diabetes exhibit lower expression of muscle proteins important for exercise capacity, and whether exercise training promotes adaptations in these proteins. In a cross-sectional and longitudinal study, conducted at the University of Copenhagen. Twelve men with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were compared to eleven nondiabetes counterparts (ND) matched for age and body composition (body fat percentage). T2D underwent 10 weeks of high-intensity interval exercise training (10-20-30 training). T2D had lower expression of SOD1 (-62%; p < 0.001) and ETC complex V (-34%; p = 0.003), along with higher expression of ETC complex IV (+66%; p = 0.007), MFN2 (+62%; p = 0.001), and DRP1 (+30%; p = 0.028) compared to ND. T2D had higher (p < 0.001) expression of Na+ /K+ α1 (+98%), α2 (+114%), and NHE1 (+144%) than ND. In T2D, training increased exercise capacity (+9%; p < 0.001) as well as expression of SOD2 (+44%; p = 0.029), ETC complex II (+25%; p = 0.035), III (+52%; p = 0.041), IV (+23%; p = 0.005), and V (+21%; p = 0.035), CS activity (+32%; p = 0.006) as well as Na+ /K+ α1 (+24%; p = 0.034), Kir6.2 (+36%; p = 0.029), and MCT1 (+20%; p = 0.007). Men with type 2 diabetes exhibited altered expression of a multitude of skeletal muscle proteins important for exercise capacity. Ten weeks of 10-20-30 training upregulated expression of muscle proteins regulating antioxidant defense, mitochondrial function, and ion handling while enhancing exercise capacity in men with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The smallest contractile unit in striated muscles is the sarcomere. Although some of the classic features of contraction assume a uniform behavior of sarcomeres within myofibrils, the occurrence of sarcomere length nonuniformities has been well recognized for years, but it is yet not well understood. In the past years, there has been a great advance in experiments using isolated myofibrils and sarcomeres that has allowed scientists to directly evaluate sarcomere length nonuniformity. This review will focus on studies conducted with these preparations to develop the hypotheses that 1) force production in myofibrils is largely altered and regulated by intersarcomere dynamics and that 2) the mechanical work of one sarcomere in a myofibril is transmitted to other sarcomeres in series. We evaluated studies looking into myofibril activation, relaxation, and force changes produced during activation. We conclude that force production in myofibrils is largely regulated by intersarcomere dynamics, which arises from the cooperative work of the contractile and elastic elements within a myofibril.

Abstract
Strenuous exercise is a potent stimulus to induce beneficial skeletal muscle adaptations, ranging from increased endurance due to mitochondrial biogenesis and angiogenesis, to increased strength from hypertrophy. While exercise is necessary to trigger and stimulate muscle adaptations, the post-exercise recovery period is equally critical in providing sufficient time for metabolic and structural adaptations to occur within skeletal muscle. These cyclical periods between exhausting exercise and recovery form the basis of any effective exercise training prescription to improve muscle endurance and strength. However, imbalance between the fatigue induced from intense training/competitions, and inadequate post-exercise/competition recovery periods can lead to a decline in physical performance. In fact, prolonged periods of this imbalance may eventually lead to extended periods of performance impairment, referred to as the state of overreaching that may progress into overtraining syndrome (OTS). OTS may have devastating implications on an athlete's career and the purpose of this review is to discuss potential underlying mechanisms that may contribute to exercise-induced OTS in skeletal muscle. First, we discuss the conditions that lead to OTS, and their potential contributions to impaired skeletal muscle function. Then we assess the evidence to support or refute the major proposed mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle weakness in OTS: 1) glycogen depletion hypothesis, 2) muscle damage hypothesis, 3) inflammation hypothesis, and 4) the oxidative stress hypothesis. Current data implicates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS) and inflammatory pathways as the most likely mechanisms contributing to OTS in skeletal muscle. Finally, we allude to potential interventions that can mitigate OTS in skeletal muscle.
