Loop diuretics affect skeletal myoblast differentiation and exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy.


ABSTRACT: Muscle wasting or sarcopenia contributes to morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer, renal failure, or heart failure, and in elderly individuals. Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) is highly expressed in mammalian skeletal muscle, where it contributes to the generation of membrane ion currents and potential. However, the physiologic function of NKCC1 in myogenesis is unclear. We investigated this issue using the NKCC1 inhibitors bumetanide and furosemide, which are commonly used loop diuretics. NKCC1 protein levels increased during C2C12 murine skeletal myoblast differentiation, similarly to those of the myogenic markers myogenin and myosin heavy chain (MHC). NKCC1 inhibitors markedly suppressed myoblast fusion into myotubes and the expression of myogenin and MHC. Furthermore, phosphorylated and total NKCC1 levels were elevated in mouse skeletal muscles after 6 weeks' voluntary wheel running. Immunofluorescence analyses of myofiber cross-sections revealed more large myofibers after exercise, but this was impaired by daily intraperitoneal bumetanide injections (0.2 or 10?mg/kg/day). NKCC1 plays an essential role in myogenesis and exercise-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy, and sarcopenia in patients with renal or heart failure may be attributable to treatment with loop diuretics.
