Lang, Charles H., Robert A. Frost, Angus C. Nairn, David A. MacLean, and Thomas C. Vary. TNFimpairs heart and skeletal muscle protein synthesis by altering translation initiation. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 282: E336–E347, 2002. First published 2 October 2001; 10.1152/ ajpendo.00366.2001.—This study examined potential mechanisms contributing to the inhibition of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and heart after administration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Rats had vascular catheters implanted, and TNFwas infused continuously for 24 h. TNFdecreased in vivo-determined rates of global protein synthesis in gastrocnemius (39%) and heart (25%). The TNF-induced decrease in protein synthesis in the gastrocnemius involved a reduction in the synthesis of both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins. To identify potential mechanisms responsible for regulating mRNA translation, we examined several eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) and elongation factors (eEFs). TNFdecreased the activity of eIF-2B in muscle (39%) but not in heart. This diminished activity was not caused by a reduction in the content of eIF-2B or the content and phosphorylation state of eIF-2 . Skeletal muscle and heart from TNF-treated rats demonstrated 1) an increased binding of the translation repressor 4E-binding protein-1 (4E-BP1) with eIF-4E, 2) a decreased amount of eIF-4E associated with eIF-4G, and 3) a decreased content of the hyperphosphorylated -form of 4E-BP1. In contrast, the infusion of TNFdid not alter the content of eEF-1 or eEF-2, or the phosphorylation state of eEF-2. In summary, these data suggest that TNFimpairs skeletal muscle and heart protein synthesis, at least in part, by decreasing mRNA translational efficiency resulting from an impairment in translation initiation associated with alterations in eIF-4E availability.

Indinavir alters regulators of protein anabolism and catabolism in skeletal muscle.

The HIV protease inhibitor indinavir adversely impairs carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, whereas its influence on protein metabolism under in vivo conditions remains unknown. The present study tested the hypothesis that indinavir also decreases basal protein synthesis and impairs the anabolic response to insulin in skeletal muscle. Indinavir was infused intravenously for 4 h into conscious rat...

Thermal injury impairs cardiac protein synthesis and is associated with alterations in translation initiation.

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether burn injury decreases myocardial protein synthesis and potential contributing mechanisms for this impairment. To address this aim, thermal injury was produced by a 40% total body surface area full-thickness scald burn in anesthetized rats, and the animals were studied 24 h late. Burn decreased the in vivo-determined rate of myocardial pr...

Elevated plasma free fatty acids decrease basal protein synthesis, but not the anabolic effect of leucine, in skeletal muscle.

Elevations in free fatty acids (FFAs) impair glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. However, there is no information pertaining to the effect of elevated circulating lipids on either basal protein synthesis or the anabolic effects of leucine and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). In chronically catheterized conscious rats, the short-term elevation of plasma FFAs by the 5-h infusion of heparin pl...

Differential effect of sepsis on ability of leucine and IGF-I to stimulate muscle translation initiation.

Polymicrobial sepsis impairs skeletal muscle protein synthesis, which results from impairment in translation initiation under basal conditions. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that sepsis also impairs the anabolic response to amino acids, specifically leucine (Leu). Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture, and 24 h later, Leu or saline (Sal) was orally admi...

TNF-alpha and cortisone impair peptide chain initiation by altering the availability of initiation factor EIF-4E.

The effect of chronic tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and cortisone treatment on the concentration of translational initiation factor eIF-4E in rat skeletal muscle was evaluated. Crude muscle extracts from control and experimental groups (TNF-a s.c. @ 50 microg/kg body wt each day for 5 days or cortisone s.c. @ 100 mg/kg body wt for 5 days) were used to purify eIF-4E by immunoprecipitation and ...
