Poult Sci 2024; 103:104342. [PMID: 39369492 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Heat stress (HS) largely impairs the quality of broiler breast meat through protein oxidative modification. This study aimed to investigate the carbonylation pattern of Ca2+ channels and apoptotic proteins in the breast muscle of heat-stressed broilers. A total of 144 twenty-eight-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into three treatment groups. The normal control (NC) group was kept at 22°C and provided with unlimited feed. The HS group was exposed to 32°C and provided with unlimited feed. The pair-fed (PF) group was kept at 22°C and given an amount of feed equivalent to that consumed by the HS group on the previous day. Results showed that broilers under HS conditions had a higher respiratory rate than those in NC and PF groups (P < 0.05). HS disrupted the morphology and structure of breast muscle fibers by decreasing the average diameters and average density of myofibers compared to the NC group (P < 0.05). HS increased the mean fluorescence intensity of the positive carbonyl signal in breast muscle compared with the NC group (P < 0.05). Besides, the pectoral Ca2+ concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, and mitochondria was elevated by HS when compared with the NC group (P < 0.05). In comparison to the NC and PF groups, HS increased the apoptosis rate and caspase-3 activity in the breast muscle (P < 0.05). Furthermore, HS elevated the relative protein expressions of plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1, and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase 1 compared to the NC group (P < 0.05). Higher relative protein expression of μ-calpain and lower relative protein expression of cytosolic cytochrome complex were found in the HS group than the NC group (P < 0.05). HS decreased the carbonylation levels of transient receptor potential canonical 1 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor compared to the NC group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the carbonylation levels of cleaved caspase-3 and precursor caspase-9 were increased and decreased, respectively, by HS treatment compared to the NC group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, HS damages the myofiber based on Ca2+ dyshomeostasis and apoptosis, which are potentially associated with protein carbonylation. These results shed new light on the possible mechanism behind the development of poor meat quality in broilers due to HS.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pryor, JL, Sweet, D, Rosbrook, P, Qiao, J, Hess, HW, and Looney, DP. Resistance training in the heat: Mechanisms of hypertrophy and performance enhancement. J Strength Cond Res 38(7): 1350-1357, 2024-The addition of heat stress to resistance exercise or heated resistance exercise (HRE) is growing in popularity as emerging evidence indicates altered neuromuscular function and an amplification of several mechanistic targets of protein synthesis. Studies demonstrating increased protein synthesis activity have shown temperature-dependent mammalian target of rapamycin phosphorylation, supplemental calcium release, augmented heat shock protein expression, and altered immune and hormone activity. These intriguing observations have largely stemmed from myotube, isolated muscle fiber, or rodent models using passive heating alone or in combination with immobilization or injury models. A growing number of translational studies in humans show comparable results employing local tissue or whole-body heat with and without resistance exercise. While few, these translational studies are immensely valuable as they are most applicable to sport and exercise. As such, this brief narrative review aims to discuss evidence primarily from human HRE studies detailing the neuromuscular, hormonal, and molecular responses to HRE and subsequent strength and hypertrophy adaptations. Much remains unknown in this exciting new area of inquiry from both a mechanistic and functional perspective warranting continued research.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle generates heat via contraction-dependent (shivering) and independent (nonshivering) mechanisms. While this thermogenic capacity of skeletal muscle undoubtedly contributes to the body temperature homeostasis of animals and impacts various cellular functions, the intracellular temperature and its dynamics in skeletal muscle in vivo remain elusive. We aimed to determine the intracellular temperature and its changes within skeletal muscle in vivo during contraction and following relaxation. In addition, we tested the hypothesis that sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) generates heat and increases the myocyte temperature during a transitory Ca2+-induced contraction-relaxation cycle. The intact spinotrapezius muscle of anesthetized adult male Wistar rats (n = 18) was exteriorized and loaded with the fluorescent probe Cellular Thermoprobe for Fluorescence Ratio (49.3 μM) by microinjection over 1 s. The fluorescence ratio (i.e., 580 nm/515 nm) was measured in vivo during 1) temperature increases induced by means of an external heater, and 2) Ca2+ injection (3.9 nL, 2.0 mM). The fluorescence ratio increased as a linear function of muscle surface temperature from 25 °C to 40 °C (r2 = 0.97, P < 0.01). Ca2+ injection (3.9 nL, 2.0 mM) significantly increased myocyte intracellular temperature: An effect that was suppressed by SERCA inhibition with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, Ca2+: 38.3 ± 1.4 °C vs Ca2++CPA: 28.3 ± 2.8 °C, P < 0.01 at 1 min following injection). While muscle shortening occurred immediately after the Ca2+ injection, the increased muscle temperature was maintained during the relaxation phase. In this investigation, we demonstrated a novel model for measuring the intracellular temperature of skeletal muscle in vivo and further that heat generation occurs concomitant principally with SERCA functioning and muscle relaxation.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is considered important in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. This study tested the hypothesis that chronic repeated cooling and/or caffeine ingestion would acutely increase [Ca2+]i and hypertrophy muscles potentially in a fiber-type-dependent manner. Control rats and those fed caffeine were subjected to repeated bidiurnal treatments of percutaneous icing, under anesthesia, to reduce the muscle temperature below ∼5°C. The predominantly fast-twitch tibialis anterior (TA) and slow-twitch soleus (SOL) muscles were evaluated after 28 days of intervention. The [Ca2+]i elevating response to icing was enhanced by caffeine loading only in the SOL muscle, with the response present across a significantly higher temperature range than in the TA muscle under caffeine-loading conditions. In both the TA and SOL muscles, myofiber cross-sectional area (CSA) was decreased by chronic caffeine treatment (mean reductions of 10.5% and 20.4%, respectively). However, in the TA, but not the SOL, CSA was restored by icing (+15.4 ± 4.3% vs. noniced, P < 0.01). In the SOL, but not TA, icing + caffeine increased myofiber number (20.5 ± 6.7%, P < 0.05) and satellite cell density (2.5 ± 0.3-fold) in cross sections. These contrasting muscle responses to cooling and caffeine may reflect fiber-type-specific [Ca2+]i responses and/or differential responses to elevated [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a protein that is susceptible to cell environment temperature. High temperatures of 40–45°C can activate the TRPV1 channel. TRPV1 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and located on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Therefore, TRPV1 activated by high-temperature stress releases Ca2+ from the SR to the cytoplasm. Cellular Ca2+ accumulation is a key event that enhances TRPV1 activity by directly binding to the N-terminus and C-terminus. Moreover, Ca2+ is the key messenger involved in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle. Long-term activation of TRPV1 may promote mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle through the Ca2+-CaMKII-p38 MAPK-PGC-1α signaling axis. The discovery of the TRPV1 channel highlights the potential mechanism for high-temperature stress improving muscle mitochondrial biogenesis. The appropriate hot stimulus in thermal environments might be beneficial to the muscular mitochondrial adaptation for aerobic capacity. However, the investigation of TRPV1 on mitochondrial biogenesis is at an early stage. Further investigations need to examine the role of TRPV1 in response to mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle induced by different thermal environments.

Abstract
Eccentric contractions (ECC) facilitate cytosolic calcium ion (Ca2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. Ca2+ is a vital signaling messenger that regulates multiple cellular processes via its spatial and temporal concentration ([Ca2+]i) dynamics. We hypothesized that 1) a specific pattern of spatial/temporal intramyocyte Ca2+ dynamics portends muscle damage following ECC and 2) these dynamics would be regulated by the ryanodine receptor (RyR). [Ca2+]i in the tibialis anterior muscles of anesthetized adult Wistar rats was measured by ratiometric (i.e., ratio, R, 340/380 nm excitation) in vivo bioimaging with Fura-2 pre-ECC and at 5 and 24 h post-ECC (5 × 40 contractions). Separate groups of rats received RyR inhibitor dantrolene (DAN; 10 mg/kg ip) immediately post-ECC (+DAN). Muscle damage was evaluated by histological analysis on hematoxylin-eosin stained muscle sections. Compared with control (CONT, no ECC), [Ca2+]i distribution was heterogeneous with increased percent total area of high [Ca2+]i sites (operationally defined as R ≥ 1.39, i.e., ≥1 SD of mean control) 5 h post-ECC (CONT, 14.0 ± 8.0; ECC5h: 52.0 ± 7.4%, P < 0.01). DAN substantially reduced the high [Ca2+]i area 5 h post-ECC (ECC5h + DAN: 6.4 ± 3.1%, P < 0.01) and myocyte damage (ECC24h, 63.2 ± 1.0%; ECC24h + DAN: 29.1 ± 2.2%, P < 0.01). Temporal and spatially amplified [Ca2+]i fluctuations occurred regardless of DAN (ECC vs. ECC + DAN, P > 0.05). These results suggest that the RyR-mediated local high [Ca2+]i itself is related to the magnitude of muscle damage, whereas the [Ca2+]i fluctuation is an RyR-independent phenomenon.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the lower limb compromises oxygen supply due to arterial occlusion. Ischemic skeletal muscle is accompanied by capillary structural deformation. Therefore, using novel microscopy techniques, we tested the hypothesis that endothelial cell swelling temporally and quantitatively corresponds to enhanced microvascular permeability. Hindlimb ischemia was created in male Wistar rat's by iliac artery ligation (AL). The tibialis anterior (TA) muscle microcirculation was imaged using intravenously infused rhodamine B isothiocyanate dextran fluorescent dye via two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) and dye extravasation at 3 and 7 days post-AL quantified to assess microvascular permeability. The TA microvascular endothelial ultrastructure was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared with control (0.40 ± 0.15 μm3 × 106), using TPLSM, the volumetrically determined interstitial leakage of fluorescent dye measured at 3 (3.0 ± 0.40 μm3 × 106) and 7 (2.5 ± 0.8 μm3 × 106) days was increased (both P < 0.05). Capillary wall thickness was also elevated at 3 (0.21 ± 0.06 μm) and 7 (0.21 ± 0.08 μm) days versus control (0.11 ± 0.03 μm, both P < 0.05). Capillary endothelial cell swelling was temporally and quantitatively associated with elevated vascular permeability in the AL model of PAD but these changes occurred in the absence of elevations in protein levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) its receptor (VEGFR2 which decreased by AL-7 day) or matrix metalloproteinase. The temporal coherence of endothelial cell swelling and increased vascular permeability supports a common upstream mediator. TPLSM, in combination with TEM, provides a sensitive and spatially discrete technique to assess the mechanistic bases for, and efficacy of, therapeutic countermeasures to the pernicious sequelae of compromised peripheral arterial function.

Abstract
Background Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface accompanied by neurosensory abnormalities. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) blockade to alleviate ocular pain, neuroinflammation, and anxiety-like behavior associated with severe DED. Methods Chronic DED was induced by unilateral excision of the Harderian and extraorbital lacrimal glands of adult male mice. Investigations were conducted at 21 days after surgery. The mRNA levels of TRPV1, transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1), and acid-sensing ion channels 1 and 3 (ASIC1 and ASIC3) in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were evaluated by RNAscope in situ hybridization. Multi-unit extracellular recording of ciliary nerve fiber activity was used to monitor spontaneous and stimulated (cold, heat, and acid) corneal nerve responsiveness in ex vivo eye preparations. DED mice received topical instillations of the TRPV1 antagonist (capsazepine) twice a day for 2 weeks from d7 to d21 after surgery. The expression of genes involved in neuropathic and inflammatory pain was evaluated in the TG using a global genomic approach. Chemical and mechanical corneal nociception and spontaneous ocular pain were monitored. Finally, anxiety-like behaviors were assessed by elevated plus maze and black and white box tests. Results First, in situ hybridization showed DED to trigger upregulation of TRPV1, TRPA1, ASIC1, and ASIC3 mRNA in the ophthalmic branch of the TG. DED also induced overexpression of genes involved in neuropathic and inflammatory pain in the TG. Repeated instillations of capsazepine reduced corneal polymodal responsiveness to heat, cold, and acidic stimulation in ex vivo eye preparations. Consistent with these findings, chronic capsazepine instillation inhibited the upregulation of genes involved in neuropathic and inflammatory pain in the TG of DED animals and reduced the sensation of ocular pain, as well as anxiety-like behaviors associated with severe DED. Conclusion These data provide novel insights on the effectiveness of TRPV1 antagonist instillation in alleviating abnormal corneal neurosensory symptoms induced by severe DED, opening an avenue for the repositioning of this molecule as a potential analgesic treatment for patients suffering from chronic DED.

Abstract
Stress resistance mechanisms include upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and formation of granules. Stress-induced granules are classified into stress granules and nuclear stress bodies (nSBs). The present study examined the involvement of nSB formation in thermal resistance. We used chemical compounds that inhibit heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) and scaffold attachment factor B (SAFB) granule formation and determined their effect on granule formation and HSP expression in HeLa cells. We found that formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was inhibited by 2,5-hexanediol. We also found that suppression of HSF1 and SAFB granule formation enhanced heat stress-induced apoptosis. In addition, the upregulation of HSP27 and HSP70 during heat stress recovery was suppressed by 2,5-hexanediol. Our results suggested that the formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was likely to be involved in the upregulation of HSP27 and HSP70 during heat stress recovery. Thus, the formation of HSF1 and SAFB granules was involved in thermal resistance.

Abstract
Heat stress, via its effects on muscle intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i), has been invoked as a putative therapeutic countermeasure to type 1 diabetes-induced muscle atrophy. Using a circulation- and neurally intact in vivo muscle preparation, we tested the hypothesis that impaired muscle Ca2+ homeostasis in type 1 diabetic rats is due to attenuated heat stress tolerance mediated via transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of the following four groups: 1) healthy control 30°C (CONT 30°C); 2) CONT 40°C; 3) diabetes 30°C (DIA 30°C); and 4) DIA 40°C. The temperature of 40°C was selected because it exceeds the TRPV1 activation threshold. Spinotrapezius muscles of Wistar rats were exteriorized in vivo and loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ probe Fura-2 AM. [Ca2+]i was estimated over 20 min using fluorescence microscopy (340/380 nm ratio) in quiescent muscle held at the required temperature, using a calibrated heat source applied to the ventral muscle surface. Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expression levels of TRPV1 in spinotrapezius muscle. After 20 min of heat stress, the CONT 40°C condition induced a 12.3 ± 5% [Ca2+]i (P < 0.05) elevation that was markedly absent in the DIA 40°C or other conditions. Thus, no significant differences were found among DIA 40°C, DIA 30°C, and CONT 30°C. TRPV1 protein expression was decreased by 42.0 ± 9% in DIA compared with CONT (P < 0.05) and, unlike CONT, heat stress did not increase TRPV1 phosphorylation. In conclusion, diabetes suppresses TRPV1 protein expression and function and inhibits the elevated myocyte [Ca2+]i evoked normally by heat stress. These results suggest that capsaicin or other therapeutic strategies to increase Ca2+ accumulation via TRPV1 might be more effective than hyperthermic therapy for type 1 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Chronic endurance exercise training induces morphological and metabolic alterations including mitochondrial biogenesis in white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) in rodents. A myokine called meteorin-like (Metrnl) is associated with morphological and metabolic adaptation and increased in blood after acute resistance exercise. However, the effects of chronic resistance exercise training (RT), which aims to increase muscle mass and strength, on WAT and BAT are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of RT on morphological and metabolic parameters in WAT and BAT and on plasma Metrnl concentrations. We applied electrical stimulation to both legs of rats as RT three times a week for 4 weeks. RT reduced adipocyte size in subcutaneous WAT but induced no changes in mitochondrial and thermogenesis proteins. In BAT, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) protein levels and mitochondrial content markers were significantly higher in the RT group compared with the control group. A significant positive correlation was found between the expression of PGC-1α in BAT and plasma Metrnl concentrations. These results suggest that plasma Metrnl is associated with PGC-1α and mitochondrial biogenesis in BAT. This study describes a potential role of RT in preventing metabolic diseases via altering WAT and BAT and increasing plasma Mertnl concentrations.

Abstract
The prolonged impairment in muscle strength, power, and fatigue resistance after eccentric exercise has been ascribed to a plethora of mechanisms, including delayed muscle refueling and microvascular and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review explores the hypothesis that local heat therapy hastens functional recovery after strenuous eccentric exercise by facilitating glycogen resynthesis, reversing vascular derangements, augmenting mitochondrial function, and stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

Abstract
The therapeutic effects of heat have been harnessed for centuries to treat skeletal muscle disorders and other pathologies. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying the well-documented clinical benefits associated with heat therapy (HT) remain poorly defined. Foundational studies in cultured skeletal muscle and endothelial cells, as well as in rodents, revealed that episodic exposure to heat stress activates a number of intracellular signaling networks and promotes skeletal muscle remodeling. Renewed interest in the physiology of HT in recent years has provided greater understanding of the signals and molecular players involved in the skeletal muscle adaptations to episodic exposures to HT. It is increasingly clear that heat stress promotes signaling mechanisms involved in angiogenesis, muscle hypertrophy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and glucose metabolism through not only elevations in tissue temperature but also other perturbations, including increased intramyocellular calcium and enhanced energy turnover. The few available translational studies seem to indicate that the earlier observations in rodents also apply to human skeletal muscle. Indeed, recent findings revealed that both local and whole-body HT may promote capillary growth, enhance mitochondrial content and function, improve insulin sensitivity and attenuate disuse-induced muscle wasting. This accumulating body of work implies that HT may be a practical treatment to combat skeletal abnormalities in individuals with chronic disease who are unwilling or cannot participate in traditional exercise-training regimens.
