Skeletal muscle unloading results in increased mitophagy and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis regulation.


ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Physical inactivity significantly contributes to loss of muscle mass and performance in bed-bound patients. Loss of skeletal muscle mitochondrial content has been well-established in muscle unloading models, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesized that apparent unloading-induced loss of muscle mitochondrial content is preceded by increased mitophagy- and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis-signaling during the early stages of unloading. METHODS:We analyzed a comprehensive set of molecular markers involved in mitochondrial-autophagy, -biogenesis, -dynamics, and -content, in the gastrocnemius muscle of C57BL/6J mice subjected to 0- and 3-days hind limb suspension, and in biopsies from human vastus lateralis muscle obtained before and after 7?days of one-leg immobilization. RESULTS:In both mice and men, short-term skeletal muscle unloading results in molecular marker patterns indicative of increased receptor-mediated mitophagy and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis regulation, before apparent loss of mitochondrial content. DISCUSSION:These results emphasize the early-onset of skeletal muscle disuse-induced mitochondrial remodeling.
