The role of nitric oxide pathway in arginine transport and growth of IPEC-1 cells.

ABSTRACT: L-Arginine itself and its metabolite-nitric oxide play great roles in intestinal physiology. However, the molecular mechanism underlying nitric oxide pathway regulating L-Arginine transport and cell growth is not yet fully understood. We report that inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) significantly induced cell apoptosis (p < 0.05), and promoted the rate of Arginine uptake and the expressions of protein for CAT-2 and y+LAT-1 (p < 0.05), while reduced protein expression of CAT-1. And NOS inhibition markedly decreased the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and PI3K-Akt pathways by Arginine in the IPEC-1 cells (p < 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that inhibition of NO pathway by L-NAME induces a negative feedback increasing of Arginine uptake and CAT-2 and y+LAT-1 protein expression, but promotes cell apoptosis which involved inhibiting the activation of mTOR and PI3K-Akt pathways.

Project description:L-Arginine (L-Arg), the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), plays an important role in muscle function. Fast-twitch glycolytic fibres are more susceptible to age-related atrophy than slow-twitch oxidative fibres. The effect of L-Arg/NO on protein metabolism of fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibres was evaluated in chickens. In Exp. 1, 48 chicks at 1 day old were divided into 4 groups of 12 birds and subjected to 4 treatments: basal diet without supplementation or supplemented with 1% L-Arg, and water supplemented with or without L-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 18.5 mM). In Exp. 2, 48 chicks were divided into 4 groups of 12 birds fed with the basal diet and subjected to the following treatments: tap water (control), tap water supplemented with L-NAME (18.5 mM), or molsidomine (MS, 0.1 mM), or 18.5 mM L-NAME + 0.1 mM MS (NAMS). The regulatory effect of L-Arg/NO was further investigated in vitro with myoblasts obtained from chicken embryo pectoralis major (PM) and biceps femoris (BF). In vivo, dietary L-Arg supplementation increased breast (+14.94%, P < 0.05) and thigh muscle mass (+23.40%, P < 0.05); whereas, MS treatment had no detectable influence. However, L-NAME treatment blocked the beneficial influence of L-Arg on muscle development. L-Arg decreased (P < 0.05) protein synthesis rate, phosphorylated mTOR and ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1 (p70S6K) levels in breast muscle, which was recovered by L-NAME treatment. In vitro, L-Arg or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) reduced protein synthesis rate, suppressed phosphorylated mTOR/p70S6K and decreased atrogin-1 and muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1) in myoblasts from PM muscle (P < 0.05). L-NAME abolished the inhibitory effect of L-Arg on protein synthesis and the mTOR/p70S6K pathway. However, myoblasts from BF muscle showed the weak influence. Moreover, blocking the mTOR/p70S6K pathway with rapamycin suppressed protein synthesis of the 2 types of myoblasts; whereas, the protein expression of atrogin-1 and MuRF1 levels were restricted only in myoblasts from PM muscle. In conclusion, L-Arg/NO/mTOR/p70S6K pathway enhances protein accumulation and muscle development in fast-twitch glycolytic muscle in chickens. L-Arg/NO regulates protein turnover in a muscle fibre specific way, which highlights the potential clinical application in fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibres.
