Abstract
Continuous advances in prehabilitation research over the past several decades have clarified its role in improving preoperative risk factors, yet the evidence demonstrating reduced surgical complications remains uncertain. Describing the potential mechanisms underlying prehabilitation and surgical complications represents an important opportunity to establish biological plausibility, develop targeted therapies, generate hypotheses for future research, and contribute to the rationale for implementation into the standard of care. In this narrative review, we discuss and synthesize the current evidence base for the biological plausibility of multimodal prehabilitation to reduce surgical complications. The goal of this review is to improve prehabilitation interventions and measurement by outlining biologically plausible mechanisms of benefit and generating hypotheses for future research. This is accomplished by synthesizing the available evidence for the mechanistic benefit of exercise, nutrition, and psychological interventions for reducing the incidence and severity of surgical complications reported by the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). This review was conducted and reported in accordance with a quality assessment scale for narrative reviews. Findings indicate that prehabilitation has biological plausibility to reduce all complications outlined by NSQIP. Mechanisms for prehabilitation to reduce surgical complications include anti-inflammation, enhanced innate immunity, and attenuation of sympathovagal imbalance. Mechanisms vary depending on the intervention protocol and baseline characteristics of the sample. This review highlights the need for more research in this space while proposing potential mechanisms to be included in future investigations.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) administration, such as cortisol acetate (CA) and dexamethasone (DEXA), is used worldwide due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and immunosuppressive properties. However, muscle atrophy is one of the primary deleterious induced responses from the chronic treatment with GCs since it stimulates muscle degradation inhibiting muscle protein synthesis. Animal models allow a better understanding of the molecular pathways involved in this process of gene modulation and production of hypertrophic and atrophic proteins. The treatment with GCs, such as DEXA, promotes the reduction of hypertrophic proteins such as serine/threonine tyrosine kinase (AKT), protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) and increased gene expression or production of atrophic proteins, such as myostatin, muscle atrophic F-box (atrogin-1), or muscle ring finger protein-1 (MuRF-1). In both continuous exercise (CE) and resistance exercise (RE) forms, exercise training is used to mitigate muscle atrophy induced by GCs. The CE attenuated muscle atrophy induced by CA or DEXA in the plantaris and extensor digitorum longus muscle, while RE mitigated the DEXA-induced atrophy in plantaris and flexor hallux longus muscles. The RE response appears to have occurred by modulation of hypertrophic proteins through increased protein production or phosphorylated/total ratio of mTOR and p70S6K and decreased atrophic protein production of atrogin-1 and MuRF-1. CE needs future research to understand the molecular pathways of its protective response. Abreviations: GCs, glucocorticoids; CA, cortisol acetate.

Leucine Supplementation Does Not Restore Diminished Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cell Abundance and Myonuclear Accretion When Protein Intake Is Limiting in Neonatal Pigs. J Nutr 2020; 150:22-30. [PMID: 31518419 PMCID: PMC6946895 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxz216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid growth of skeletal muscle in the neonate requires the coordination of protein deposition and myonuclear accretion. During this developmental stage, muscle protein synthesis is highly sensitive to amino acid supply, especially Leu, but we do not know if this is true for satellite cells, the source of muscle fiber myonuclei. OBJECTIVE We examined whether dietary protein restriction reduces myonuclear accretion in the neonatal pig, and if any reduction in myonuclear accretion is mitigated by restoring Leu intake. METHODS Neonatal pigs (1.53 ± 0.2 kg) were fitted with jugular vein and gastric catheters and fed 1 of 3 isoenergetic milk replacers every 4 h for 21 d: high protein [HP; 22.5 g protein/(kg/d); n= 8]; restricted protein [RP; 11.2 g protein/(kg/d); n= 10]; or restricted protein with Leu [RPL; 12.0 g protein/(kg/d); n= 10]. Pigs were administered 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU; 15 mg/kg) intravenously every 12 h from days 6 to 8. Blood was sampled on days 6 and 21 to measure plasma Leu concentrations. On day 21, pigs were killed and the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle was collected to measure cell morphometry, satellite cell abundance, myonuclear accretion, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system expression. RESULTS Compared with HP pigs, postprandial plasma Leu concentration in RP pigs was 37% and 47% lower on days 6 and 21, respectively (P < 0.05); Leu supplementation in RPL pigs restored postprandial Leu to HP concentrations. Dietary protein restriction reduced LD myofiber cross-sectional area by 21%, satellite cell abundance by 35%, and BrdU+ myonuclear abundance by 25% (P < 0.05); Leu did not reverse these outcomes. Dietary protein restriction reduced LD muscle IGF2 expression by 60%, but not IGF1 or IGF1R expression (P < 0.05); Leu did not rescue IGF2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Satellite cell abundance and myonuclear accretion in neonatal pigs are compromised when dietary protein intake is restricted and are not restored with Leu supplementation.

Abstract
Striated respiratory muscles are necessary for lung ventilation and to maintain the patency of the upper airway. The basic structural and functional properties of respiratory muscles are similar to those of other striated muscles (both skeletal and cardiac). The sarcomere is the fundamental organizational unit of striated muscles and sarcomeric proteins underlie the passive and active mechanical properties of muscle fibers. In this respect, the functional categorization of different fiber types provides a conceptual framework to understand the physiological properties of respiratory muscles. Within the sarcomere, the interaction between the thick and thin filaments at the level of cross-bridges provides the elementary unit of force generation and contraction. Key to an understanding of the unique functional differences across muscle fiber types are differences in cross-bridge recruitment and cycling that relate to the expression of different myosin heavy chain isoforms in the thick filament. The active mechanical properties of muscle fibers are characterized by the relationship between myoplasmic Ca2+ and cross-bridge recruitment, force generation and sarcomere length (also cross-bridge recruitment), external load and shortening velocity (cross-bridge cycling rate), and cross-bridge cycling rate and ATP consumption. Passive mechanical properties are also important reflecting viscoelastic elements within sarcomeres as well as the extracellular matrix. Conditions that affect respiratory muscle performance may have a range of underlying pathophysiological causes, but their manifestations will depend on their impact on these basic elemental structures.

Abstract
Muscle plasticity is defined as the ability of a given muscle to alter its structural and functional properties in accordance with the environmental conditions imposed on it. As such, respiratory muscle is in a constant state of remodeling, and the basis of muscle's plasticity is its ability to change protein expression and resultant protein balance in response to varying environmental conditions. Here, we will describe the changes of respiratory muscle imposed by extrinsic changes in mechanical load, activity, and innervation. Although there is a large body of literature on the structural and functional plasticity of respiratory muscles, we are only beginning to understand the molecular-scale protein changes that contribute to protein balance. We will give an overview of key mechanisms regulating protein synthesis and protein degradation, as well as the complex interactions between them. We suggest future application of a systems biology approach that would develop a mathematical model of protein balance and greatly improve treatments in a variety of clinical settings related to maintaining both muscle mass and optimal contractile function of respiratory muscles.

Abstract
Attenuation of muscle wasting has been reported with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) use in cachectic states. Pathways mediating muscle proteolysis with severe short-term nutritional deprivation (ND)±EPA were evaluated, including diaphragm fiber-specific cross-sectional areas, mRNA (real-time PCR) and protein expression (Western blot). Rats were divided into three groups: (1) free-eating controls, (2) ND and (3) ND+EPA. ND significantly influenced multiple proteolytic pathways. EPA significantly reduced mRNA abundances for most genes to control levels with ND. However, discordant muscle protein expression of many genes was noted with the use of EPA, as protein levels failed to fall. EPA had no impact on diaphragm muscle atrophy, despite the impressive mRNA and some protein results. We conclude that EPA does not attenuate diaphragm muscle atrophy with severe levels of ND. Postulated mechanisms include reduction in muscle protein synthesis and persistent ongoing stimuli for proteolysis. Our study provides unique data on proteolytic signals with ND and has important implications for future studies using EPA.

Abstract
CONTEXT Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is defined by the association between obesity and daytime arterial hypercapnia. The syndrome includes in variable proportion impaired diaphragmatic weakness, decreased central ventilatory drive and nearly systematically occurrence of sleep apnea. An increased cardio-vascular risk has been demonstrated compared to normocapnic obesity. IGF-I has a pleiotropic role in metabolism, ventilatory control, muscle function and cardiovascular protection. OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN We performed a case control study comparing somatotropic axis changes including IGF-I in obese with or without OHS. METHODS Patients underwent respiratory function tests, CO(2) ventilatory responses, polysomnography and somatotropic axis exploration (GH, IGF-I and IGFBP-3). RESULTS 15 OHS (BMI: 41+/-5.6 kg/m(2), PaCO(2): 6.13+/-0.39 kPa, age: 55.6+/-5.9 years) and 15 matched obese without hypercapnia (BMI: 42+/-6.7 kg/m(2), PaCO(2): 5.13+/-0.27 kPa, age: 55.0+/-7.5 years) were compared. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were significantly lowered in OHS, and negatively correlated with PaCO(2) (r=-0.615; P<0.001 and r=-0.452; P=0.016, respectively). Inspiratory capacity and forced vital capacity reflecting respiratory muscle strength decreased significantly with IGF-I (r=0.408; P=0.038). Triglycerides levels were higher in OHS (1.64+/-0.58 versus 1.13+/-0.56 g/L; P<0.01), and negatively associated with IGF-I (r=-0.418; P=0.027). CONCLUSION A low IGF-I level is associated with hypercapnia presumably by reducing ventilatory drive and favouring muscle weakness. The relationship between increased triglycerides and low IGF-I may represent one of mechanisms involved in the OHS increased cardio-vascular risk.

Abstract
Increased expression of forkhead box O (Foxo) transcription factors were reported in cultured myotubes and mouse limb muscle with corticosteroid (CS) treatment. We previously reported that administration of CS to rats resulted in muscle fiber atrophy only by day 7. The aim of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the time-course changes in the expression of Foxo transcription factors and muscle-specific ubiquitin E3 ligases in rat limb muscle following CS administration. Triamcinolone (TRI; 1 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) im) was administered for 1, 3, or 7 days. Control (CTL) rats were given saline. Muscle mRNA was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Compared with CTL, body weights of TRI-treated animals decreased by 3, 12, and 21% at days 1, 3, and 7, respectively. Muscle IGF-1 mRNA levels decreased by 33, 65, and 58% at days 1, 3, and 7 in TRI-treated rats compared with CTL. Levels of phosphorylated Akt were 28, 50, and 36% lower in TRI animals at these time points. Foxo1 mRNA increased progressively by 1.2-, 1.4-, and 2.5-fold at days 1, 3, and 7 in TRI animals. Similar changes were noted in the expression of Foxo3a mRNA (1.3-, 1.4-, and 2.6-fold increments). By contrast, Foxo4 mRNA was not significantly changed in TRI animals. With TRI, muscle atrophy F box/Atrogin-1 increased by 1.8-, 4.1-, and 7.5-fold at days 1, 3, and 7 compared with CTL rats. By contrast, muscle RING finger 1 increased only from day 7 (2.7-fold). Gradual reduction in IGF-I expression with TRI over the time series paralleled that of Akt. These findings are consistent with a progressive stimulus to muscle protein degradation and the need to process/remove disassembled muscle proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Elucidating the dynamic catabolic responses to CS challenge is important in understanding the mechanisms underlying muscle atrophy and therapeutic measures to offset this.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In different circumstances such as infant malnutrition, old age or chronic disease, decline of muscular strength, particularly anaerobic power, is shown. In this context, our laboratory, has demonstrated a decrease in anaerobic glycolytic power in pre-pubertal Bolivian children living at low and high altitude and suffering from marginal protein malnutrition. AIM OF THE STUDY To bring molecular support to the relationship between protein malnutrition and anaerobic glycolytic metabolism, we studied the impact of prolonged protein malnutrition on lactate metabolism in different muscles of growing rats. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), monocarboxylate transporters (MCT1, MCT4) and membrane protein CD147 were chosen as specific markers of anaerobic glycolytic metabolism. METHODS Two groups of 10 weaning male rats were fed for 10 weeks either ad libitum with a well-balanced diet containing 18% protein or an isocaloric-diet containing 8% protein. LDH activity and mRNA amounts of LDH isoforms, MCT, CD147 were measured. RESULTS Protein deprivation during rat growth induced a decrease of LDH specific activity in skeletal muscles (mean value of -41%), accompanied by isoform distribution modifications in soleus, but not in glycolytic muscles (extensor digitorum longus (EDL) or plantaris). A reduction in mRNA amounts encoding the LDH A and B subunits was observed in EDL. A decrease in LDH B mRNA amounts was monitored in plantaris, whereas no modification in both LDH isoform mRNA quantities was observed in soleus. MCT1 mRNA quantities were decreased in EDL but MCT4 mRNA quantities remained stable. CD147 mRNA amounts were unchanged except for EDL with a 42% increase. CONCLUSIONS The global decreases of LDH activity, LDH and MCT gene expressions in growing rat skeletal muscles support the observed alterations of lactate metabolism associated with lowered muscular anaerobic performances in protein malnutrition.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nutritional deprivation (ND) on signal transduction pathways influencing the translational apparatus in the diaphragm muscle. Male rats were divided into two groups: 1) 20% of usual food intake for 4 days (ND) with water provided at libitum and 2) free-eating control (Ctl). Total protein and RNA were extracted from the diaphragm. Insulin-like growth factor I mRNA was analyzed by RT-PCR. Protein analyses of key cytoplasmic proteins for three signaling pathways deemed important in influencing protein turnover [phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase- Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin, P13K/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3, and MAPK-ERK] were performed by Western blot. Body weight decreased 30% in ND and increased 17% in Ctl animals. Diaphragm mass decreased 29% in ND animals. Muscle insulin-like growth factor I mRNA abundance was reduced 63% in ND animals. ND resulted in a 55% reduction in phosphorylated (Ser473) Akt. Phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin at Ser2448 was reduced by 85% in ND animals. Downstream effectors important in translation initiation were also affected by ND. Phosphorylated (Thr389) 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase was significantly reduced (35%) by ND. ND also resulted in significant dephosphorylation of the translational repressor initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1. Phosphorylation of GSK-3alpha (Ser21) and GSK-3beta (Ser9) was increased 55 and 45%, respectively, with ND. Phosphorylation of ERK1 (Thr202) and ERK2 (Tyr204), p44 and p42, respectively, was reduced 64 and 55%, respectively, with ND. Total protein concentration for all signaling intermediates of the three pathways was preserved. We conclude that short-term ND altered the phosphorylation states of key proteins of several pathways involved in protein turnover. This forms the framework for future studies aimed at identifying therapeutic targets in the management of short-term nutritionally induced cachectic states.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been implicated in several muscle-wasting disorders, with increased levels of the cytokine reported in malnourished children. The role of TNF-α in mediating malnutrition-induced inhibition of diaphragm (DIA) muscle growth in young growing rats was evaluated. Three groups of rats were studied: 1) control (CTL); 2) nutritional deprivation (ND; 50% of normal food intake for 7 days); and 3) ND + rat specific anti-TNF-α antibody. DIA fiber cross-sectional areas were determined. Serum and muscle TNF-α levels were measured by real-time PCR, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry. Body weights decreased 20% in ND rats and increased 46% in CTL animals. Anti-TNF-α had no effect on body weight or on DIA mass in ND animals. ND significantly reduced cross-sectional areas of all fiber types (33–46%). Anti-TNF-α failed to attenuate ND-induced inhibition of DIA fiber growth. Serum TNF-α levels increased 2.6-fold in ND animals, with levels suppressed to below CTL values with anti-TNF-α. DIA TNF-α mRNA and protein levels increased two- to threefold in ND rats. Anti-TNF-α antibodies suppressed muscle levels of the cytokine in ND animals to near CTL values. TNF-α immunoreactivity in all DIA fibers revealed similar directions of change in both ND groups. Direction and magnitude of change in DIA phosphorylated p38 MAPK (a likely second messenger of TNF-α) tracked those of TNF-α. Muscle levels of IGF-I mRNA and phosphorylated Akt were markedly reduced in ND animals with no change following anti-TNF-α therapy. Thus rat anti-TNF-α at a dose known to neutralize the cytokine failed to attenuate or reverse ND-induced inhibition of DIA fiber growth in our model.

Abstract
Undernutrition thwarts lung structure and function, but there are disagreements about the behavior of lung mechanics in malnourished animals. To clarify this issue, lung and chest wall mechanical properties were subdivided into their resistive, elastic, and viscoelastic properties in nutritionally deprived (ND) rats and correlated with the data gathered from histology (light and electron microscopy and elastic fiber content), and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis (lipid and protein content). Twenty-four Wistar rats were assigned into two groups. In the control (Ctrl) group the animals received food ad libitum. In the ND group, rats received one-third of their usual daily food consumption until they lost 40% of their initial body weight. Lung static elastance, viscoelastic and resistive pressures (normalized by functional residual capacity), and chest wall pressures were higher in the ND group than in the Ctrl group. The ND group exhibited patchy atelectasis, areas of emphysema, interstitial edema, and reduced elastic fiber content. The amount of lipid and protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly reduced in the ND group. Electron microscopy showed 1) type II pneumocytes with a reduction in lamellar body content, multilamellated structures, membrane vesicles, granular debris, and structurally aberrant mitochondria; and 2) diaphragm and intercostals with atrophy, disarrangement of the myofibrils, and deposition of collagen type I fibers. In conclusion, undernutrition led to lung and chest wall mechanical changes that were the result from a balance among the following modifications: 1) distorted structure of diaphragm and intercostals, 2) surfactant content reduction, and 3) decrease in elastic fiber content.

Abstract
With emphysema, diaphragm length adaptation results in shortened fibers. We hypothesize that passive diaphragm stretch occurring acutely after lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) results in fiber injury. Bilateral LVRS was performed in emphysematous hamsters. Studies were performed 1 (D1) and 4 (D4) days after LVRS, and compared with sham-treated groups. Sarcolemmal rupture was evident in 10.9% of fibers in LVRS-D1 and reduced to 1.6% in LVRS-D4. Ultrastructural analysis revealed focal abnormalities in both LVRS-D1 and LVRS-D4 animals in over one-third of fibers. Myofibrillar disruption was not observed in sham-treated animals. Diaphragm insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was increased in LVRS-D4 compared with other emphysematous groups. Increased IGF-I immunoreactivity was localized to types IIA and I fibers. The abundance of the splice variant of IGF-I mRNA sensitive to muscle stretch (IGF-IEb) increased 3.2-fold in LVRS D-4 diaphragms, compared with emphysema-sham animals. The main form of IGF-I mRNA was unchanged. Marked force deficit was observed in the LVRS-D1 diaphragm, compared with emphysema-sham and emphysema (no surgery) animals. These data highlight a markedly compromised ventilatory pump acutely after LVRS. Acute fiber stretch predisposes to muscle fiber injury and may also be a necessary mechanotransductive stimulus for fiber remodeling as the diaphragm adapts to reduced lung volume.

Abstract
The tension-time index (TTI) has been used to estimate mechanical load, energy utilization, blood flow, and susceptibility to fatigue in contracting muscle. The TTI can be defined, for a rhythmically contracting muscle, as the product of average force development divided by maximum tetanic force times duty cycle [contraction time / (contraction + relaxation time)]. In this study, the TTI concept was applied to isolated diaphragm via a method that allowed TTI to be clamped at a predetermined value. The hypothesis tested was that, at constant TTI, muscle energetics and the extent of fatigue would vary with stimulation frequency. Isolated diaphragm strips were stimulated at 25, 50, 75, or 100 Hz for 4 min, one per second. Duty cycle was continuously adjusted to maintain TTI at 0.07, which was near the highest TTI tolerated for 4 min, at 20-Hz stimulation. At the end of the fatigue run, muscles were either immediately frozen for determination ATP, creatine, and creatine phosphate concentrations (n = 6) or stimulated for evaluation of low- and high-frequency fatigue (n = 5). Results demonstrated no difference in the extent of fatigue or in the final ATP and creatine phosphate concentrations between groups. Large within-run increases in duty cycle were required at low stimulation frequencies, but only small increases were required at the highest frequencies. The results demonstrate that, at a constant TTI, similar fatigue properties predominate at all stimulation frequencies with no clear distinction between high- and low-frequency fatigue. The method of clamping TTI during fatigue may be useful for evaluating energetics and contractile function between treatment groups in isolated muscle when treatment influences baseline contractile characteristics.
