Project description:The effect of electroacupuncture on the transcriptional profile of the skeletal muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb suspension were examined. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:p53 regulates a distinct subset of skeletal muscle mRNAs during immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy For additional details see Fox et al, p53 and ATF4 mediate distinct and additive pathways to skeletal muscle atrophy during limb immobilization. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2014 Aug 1;307(3):E245-61. Bilateral tibialis anterior muscles were harvested at three days for the following conditions: 1) hindlimb immobilization of C57BL/6 mice; 2) hindlimb immobilization of p53 mKO and littermate control mice; 3) transfection of wild type mice with p53 plasmid or control plasmid
Project description:Spaceflight results in a number of adaptations to skeletal muscle, including atrophy and shifts towards faster muscle fiber types. To identify changes in gene expression that may underlie these adaptations, microarray expression analysis was performed on gastrocnemius from mice flown on the STS-108 shuttle flight (11 days, 19 hours) versus mice maintained on earth for the same period. Additionally, to identify changes that were due to unloading and reloading, microarray analyses were conducted on calf muscle from ground-based mice subjected to hindlimb suspension (12 days) and mice subjected to hindlimb suspension plus a brief period of reloading (3.5 hours) to simulate the time between landing and sacrifice of the spaceflight mice.
Project description:To investigate the molecular mechanisms governing the transition of skeletal muscle from atrophy to compensatory regeneration and hypertrophy, we employed a mouse model involving hindlimb unloading and subsequent reloading, conducting a comprehensive analysis of global gene expression using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Gastrocnemius muscle samples were obtained from three groups: control mice, mice subjected to 10 days of hindlimb unloading-induced muscle atrophy, and mice reintroduced to normal cage activity for 1 day following the unloading period (reloading).
Project description:Analysis of effect of hindlimb suspension and reloading on C57Bl/6 mouse soleus muscle. Experimental groups examined: -Control mice, 14 days -Hindlimb suspension for 7 days -Hindlimb suspension for 7 days, and subsequent reloading for 1 day -Hindlimb suspension for 7 days, and subsequent reloading for 7 days Keywords: other
Project description:The primary goal of this study was to determine the role of AMPKalpha during disuse atrophy. Skeletal muscle-specific tamoxifen-inducible AMPKlpha1/alpha2 double knockout (KO) mice were generated and KO was induced for 4 weeks. After 2 weeks of KO, mice were hindlimb unloaded (HU) for 2 weeks to induce atrophy or maintained ambulatory (AMB). We observed that AMPKalpha double KO impaired skeletal muscle transcriptional profiles that may have carried over with HU.
Project description:Spinal motor atrophy mice (SMN delta 7 mice) and wild-type control hindlimb skeletal muscle tissue was used for transcriptome profiling by mRNA-seq.
