Abstract:
:Hyperammonaemia and hyperethanolaemia are thought to be driving factors behind skeletal muscle myopathy in liver disease, that is, cirrhosis. Despite this, the singular and combined impacts of ethanol- and ammonia-induced protein catabolism are poorly defined. As such, we aimed to dissect out the effects of ammonia and ethanol on muscle catabolism. Murine C2C12 myotubes were treated with ammonium acetate (10 mM) and ethanol (100 mM) either alone or in combination for 4 hr and/or 24 hr. Myotube diameter, muscle protein synthesis and anabolic and catabolic signalling pathways were assessed. In separate experiments, cells were cotreated with selected inhibitors of protein breakdown to assess the importance of proteolytic pathways in protein loss with ammonia and ethanol. Ammonia and ethanol in combination resulted in a reduction in myotube width and total protein content, which was greater than the reduction observed with ammonia alone. Both ammonia and ethanol caused reductions in protein synthesis, as assessed by puromycin incorporation. There was also evidence of impairments in regulation of protein translation, and increased protein expression of markers of muscle protein breakdown. Myotube protein loss with ammonia plus ethanol was not affected by autophagy inhibition, but was completely prevented by proteasome inhibition. Thus, combined ammonia and ethanol incubation of C2C12 myotubes exacerbated myotube atrophy and dysregulation of anabolic and catabolic signalling pathways associated with either component individually. Ubiquitin proteasome-mediated protein breakdown appears to play an important role in myotube protein loss with ethanol and ammonia.
