Project description:Background: The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the sparing of masticatory muscles relative to limb muscles in ICU patients with acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) by using a unique porcine ICU model, i.e., 5-day longitudinal experiments where animals are sedated, mechanically ventilated and exposed to factors triggering AQM, such as muscle unloading, endotoxin-induced sepsis, and systemic exposure to CS and NMBA. Results: An altered expression was notably observed in heat-shock proteins genes, sarcomeric proteins and myostatin genes were noticed. Hence, modifications in heat-shock proteins, sarcomeric proteins and myostatin genes are in sharp contrast to alterations in the limb muscles and it is postulated that elevated heat-shock proteins and decreased sarcomeric protein and myostatin genes play a protective role in the masticatory muscle relative to limb muscle in ICU patients with AQM. Conclusions: This intervention had no significant effect on masseter muscle fiber size or force-generation capacity. This is in sharp contrast to the dramatic decrease observed in specific force in limb muscle fibers from the same animals. However, significant differences were observed between the craniofacial and the limb muscle with a masseter muscle specific regulation of i) transcriptional and growth factors like RUNX1, FOXO1A, TBX1, PGC1-β and myostatin, ii) several heat shock protein genes like HSP 90, HSP 105/110 and αB-crystallin, iii) a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (TIMP2) and iv) oxidative stress responsive elements such as SRXN1 and SOD2. These muscle-type specific differences, the alterations in heat shock protein, sarcomeric protein and myostatin genes are forwarded as important factors underlying the sparing of masticatory muscles compared with limb muscles in critically ill ICU patients with Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy. Keywords: Treatment, immobilization, muscle function.

Project description:Background: The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the function of corticosteriods in the limb muscles of ICU patients with acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) by using a unique porcine ICU model, i.e., 5-day longitudinal experiments where animals are sedated, mechanically ventilated and exposed to factor triggering AQM that is hydrocortisone. Results: An increased expression of genes involved in kinase activity, cell cycle regulation and transcriptional regulation. A decreased expression in genes regulating heat shock proteins, cytoskeletal & sarcomeric and oxidative stress response were also apparent. Therefore, it appears that CS has an additive deleterious role in acute quadriplegic myopathywere also apparent. Conclusions: CS induced molecular mechanisms involving kinase activity and heat shock protein genes were forwarded as probable mechanisms underlying the decreased force generating capacity. Eight female domestic piglets (Sus scrofa, average body weight 26.4 kg) were used in this study. Piglets were immobilized by anesthesia and mechanically ventilated via a tracheotomy for a period of five days. During this study period, the animals were sedated using isoflurane inhalation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Il, USA, 0.8 - 1.3% end-tidal concentration) supplemented by intravenous bolus doses of morphine and ketamine as needed. Core body temperature (blood) was maintained in the range of 38.5 - 40M-BM-0C by a servo controlled heating pad. The animals received intravenous crystalloid fluid (Ringeracetat) to maintain stable blood pressure and urinary output and a glucose infusion (Rehydrex, Fresenius Kabi, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 mg glucose /mL) in the range of 0.5 - 1.5 mg/kg/minute to decrease the effects of catabolism. Each animal received prophylactic streptomycin 750 mg/d and bensylpenicillin 600 mg/d (Streptocillin Vet, Boeringer-Ingelheim, Hellerup, Denmark). Arterial blood gas analysis as well as electrolytes and blood glucose levels were monitored regularly and kept in the normal range throughout the study period. A neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) was administered as a continuous infusion of pancuronium bromide 0.1mg/kg/h (Pavolun; Organon, Boxtel, The Netherlands) for 5days while a corticosteroid (CS) was given as bolus doses of hydrocortisone.

Project description:Background : The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the role of sepsis in the limb muscles of ICU patients with acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) by using a unique porcine ICU model, i.e., 5-day longitudinal experiments where animals are sedated, mechanically ventilated and exposed to factor triggering AQM that is endotoxin-induced sepsis. Results : An increased expression of genes involved in chemokine activity and transcriptional regulation. A decreased expression in genes regulating heat shock proteins, cytoskeletal & sarcomeric and oxidative stress response were also apparent. Therefore, it appears that sepsis has an additive deleterious role in acute quadriplegic myopathy. Sepsis-induced molecular mechanisms involving chemokine/innate immunity and heat shock proteins are forwarded as probable mechanisms underlying the decreased force generating capacity. Conclusions : This sepsis had significant effect on biceps femoris muscle force-generation capacity but not on fiber size. However, significant differences were observed between the MV and MV+SEP in the transcriptional regulation of an increased expression of genes involved in chemokine activity genes like MCP-1 and transcriptional regulation genes like JUNB, STAT3 and BHLHB2. A decreased expression in genes regulating heat shock proteins like HSP 90, HSP 70 and αB-crystallin, cytoskeletal & sarcomeric like MAP1A, MyBP-C1 and MYH7 and oxidative stress response like SRXN1 and SOD2 were also apparent. Therefore, it appears that sepsis has an additive negative role in acute quadriplegic myopathy. Four female domestic piglets (Sus scrofa, average body weight 25.5 kg) were used in this study. Piglets were immobilized by anesthesia and mechanically ventilated via a tracheotomy for a period of five days. During this study period, the animals were sedated using isoflurane inhalation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Il, USA, 0.8 – 1.3% end-tidal concentration) supplemented by intravenous bolus doses of morphine and ketamine as needed. Core body temperature (blood) was maintained in the range of 38.5 – 40°C by a servo controlled heating pad. The animals received intravenous crystalloid fluid (Ringeracetat) to maintain stable blood pressure and urinary output and a glucose infusion (Rehydrex, Fresenius Kabi, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 mg glucose /mL) in the range of 0.5 – 1.5 mg/kg/minute to decrease the effects of catabolism.

A neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) was administered as a continuous infusion of pancuronium bromide 0.1mg/kg/h (Pavolun; Organon, Boxtel, The Netherlands) for 5days while a corticosteroid (CS) was given as bolus doses of betamethasone 0.1 mg/kg (Betapred; GSK, Slona, Sweden) twice daily for 5days. Endotoxemia was induced by a continuous infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin, serotype O26:B6 (Sigma Labkemi, Stockholm, Sweden) at 36 µg/kg/h for 1h.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle wasting and impaired muscle function in response to mechanical ventilation and immobilization in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are clinically challenging partly due to (i) the poorly understood intricate cellular and molecular networks; and (ii) the unavailability of an animal model mimicking this condition. By employing a unique porcine model mimicking the conditions in the ICU with long-term mechanical ventilation and immobilization, we have analyzed the expression profile of skeletal muscle biopsies taken at three time points during a five-day period. Results: We have analyzed the expression profile of skeletal muscle biopsies taken at three time points during a five-day period. Among the differentially regulated transcripts, extracellular matrix, energy metabolism, sarcomeric proteins and LIM protein mRNA levels were down-regulated while ubiquitin proteasome system, cathepsins, oxidative stress responsive genes and heat shock proteins (HSP) mRNAs were up-regulated Conclusions: We conclude that induction of HSPs may play an inherent temporary protective mechanism in skeletal muscle in the early stages of immobilization and mechanical ventilation. The proposed molecular events leading to our final hypothesis are illustrated in the manuscript. Keywords: Treatment, immobilization, muscle function. Sixteen female domestic piglets (Sus scrofa, average body weight 26.5 kg) were used in this study. All piglets were immobilized by anesthesia and mechanically ventilated (Servo 900C, Siemens-Elema, Solna, Sweden). The first m. biceps femoris biopsies (day 1) were obtained from all animals, after administering anesthetics. During the five day study period, four animals were sedated using isoflurane inhalation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Il, USA, 0.8 – 1.3% end-tidal concentration) supplemented by intravenous bolus doses of morphine and ketamine as needed. Biopsies from the m. biceps femoris were obtained on two further separate occasions (days 3 and 5) in these animals. Core body temperature (blood) was maintained in the range of 38.5 – 40°C by a servocontrolled heating pad. The animals received intravenous crystalloid fluid (Ringer’s acetate) to maintain stable blood pressure and urinary output and a glucose infusion (Rehydrex, Fresenius Kabi, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 mg glucose /mL) in the range of 0.5 – 1.5 mg/kg/minute to decrease the effects of catabolism. Each animal received prophylactic streptomycin 750 mg/d and benzylpenicillin 600 mg/d (Streptocillin Vet, Boeringer-Ingelheim, Hellerup, Denmark). Arterial blood gas analysis as well as electrolytes and blood glucose levels were monitored regularly and kept in the normal range throughout the study period.

Project description:Proctor2005 - Actions of chaperones and their
role in ageing

Modelling the actions of
chaperones and their role in ageing.

Abstract:
Many molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock
proteins because they are synthesised in increased amounts
after brief exposure of cells to elevated temperatures. They
have many cellular functions and are involved in the folding of
nascent proteins, the re-folding of denatured proteins, the
prevention of protein aggregation, and assisting the targeting
of proteins for degradation by the proteasome and lysosomes.
They also have a role in apoptosis and are involved in
modulating signals for immune and inflammatory responses.
Stress-induced transcription of heat shock proteins requires
the activation of heat shock factor (HSF). Under normal
conditions, HSF is bound to heat shock proteins resulting in
feedback repression. During stress, cellular proteins undergo
denaturation and sequester heat shock proteins bound to HSF,
which is then able to become transcriptionally active. The
induction of heat shock proteins is impaired with age and there
is also a decline in chaperone function. Aberrant/damaged
proteins accumulate with age and are implicated in several
important age-related conditions (e.g. Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease, and cataract). Therefore, the balance
between damaged proteins and available free chaperones may be
greatly disturbed during ageing. We have developed a
mathematical model to describe the heat shock system. The aim
of the model is two-fold: to explore the heat shock system and
its implications in ageing; and to demonstrate how to build a
model of a biological system using our simulation system
(biology of ageing e-science integration and simulation
(BASIS)).

In order to elucidate duration-dependent effects of the ICU intervention on molecular and functional networks that control the muscle wasting and weakness in AQM, gene expression profile was analyzed at time points varying from 6 hours to 14 days in a unique experimental rat model mimicking ICU conditions, i.e., post-synaptically paralyzed, mechanically ventilated and extensively monitored animals. A total of five sham operated controls and 23 experimental female Sprague-Dawley rats were included in this study. The experimental rats were anaesthetized, treated with the neuromuscular blocker (NMBA), α-cobrotoxin, mechanically ventilated and monitored for durations varying from 6h to 4 days (n=13), from 5 to 9 days (n=4), and from 9 to 14 days (n=6). Muscle biopsies were obtained from gastrocnemius muscle (proximal part) immediately after euthanasia and were quickly frozen in liquid propane cooled by liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C.RNA was extracted.

Project description:Environmental stress, such as oxidative or heat stress, induces the activation of the heat shock response
(HSR) and leads to an increase in the heat shock proteins (HSPs) level. These HSPs act as molecular
chaperones to maintain cellular proteostasis. Controlled by highly intricate regulatory mechanisms,
having stress-induced activation and feedback regulations with multiple partners, the HSR is still
incompletely understood. In this context, we propose a minimal molecular model for the gene
regulatory network of the HSR that reproduces quantitatively different heat shock experiments both
on heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and HSPs activities. This model, which is based on chemical kinetics
laws, is kept with a low dimensionality without altering the biological interpretation of the model
dynamics. This simplistic model highlights the titration of HSF1 by chaperones as the guiding line of
the network. Moreover, by a steady states analysis of the network, three different temperature stress
regimes appear: normal, acute, and chronic, where normal stress corresponds to pseudo thermal
adaption. The protein triage that governs the fate of damaged proteins or the different stress regimes
are consequences of the titration mechanism. The simplicity of the present model is of interest in
order to study detailed modelling of cross regulation between the HSR and other major genetic
networks like the cell cycle or the circadian clock.
