Ca2+ transients activate calcineurin/NFATc1 and initiate fast-to-slow transformation in a primary skeletal muscle culture.
The calcineurin-mediated signal transduction via nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc1) is involved in upregulating slow myosin heavy chain (MHC) gene expression during fast-to-slow transformation of skeletal muscle cells. This study aims to investigate the Ca2+ signal necessary to activate the calcineurin-NFATc1 cascade in skeletal muscle. Electrostimulation of primary myocytes from rabb...
متن کاملDepolarization-induced slow Ca2+ transients stimulate transcription of IL-6 gene in skeletal muscle cells.
Contracting skeletal muscle produces and releases interleukin-6 (IL-6) in high amounts. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying IL-6 expression are not understood. Because inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-mediated slow Ca(2+) signals evoked by depolarization of skeletal myotubes appears to play a role in the regulation of gene expression, we examined its involvement on IL-6 transcription. W...
متن کاملDecay of Ca2+ and force transients in fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscles from the rat, mouse and Etruscan shrew.
Isometric single-twitch force and intracellular Ca2+ transients were recorded simultaneously, using fura-2, from slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibres of the rat, mouse and Etruscan shrew Suncus etruscus. In the slow-twitch rat soleus, force half-relaxation time was three times longer than the 50% decay time of the fura-2 signal. In contrast, in the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscles o...
متن کاملRegulation of Ca2+ handling by phosphorylation status in mouse fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers.
The effects of phosphorylation status on Ca2+release and Ca2+ removal were studied in fast-twitch flexor digitorum brevis and slow-twitch soleus skeletal muscle fibers enzymatically isolated from wild-type and phospholamban knockout (PLBko) mice. In all fibers the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor H-89 decreased the peak amplitude of the intracellular...
متن کاملVelocity, force, power, and Ca2+ sensitivity of fast and slow monkey skeletal muscle fibers.
In this study, we determined the contractile properties of single chemically skinned fibers prepared from the medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus (Sol) muscles of adult male rhesus monkeys and assessed the effects of the spaceflight living facility known as the experiment support primate facility (ESOP). Muscle biopsies were obtained 4 wk before and immediately after an 18-day ESOP sit, and fi...
