Cordotomy-denervation interactions on contractile and myofibrillar properties of fast and slow muscles in the rat.

Abstract:

:Cordotomy-denervation interactions were studied on contractile and myofibrillar properties of slow (soleus) and fast (extensor digitorum longus) muscles of the rat. The spinal cord was transected midthoracically in neonatal (2-day-old) animals. Two months after birth, a unilateral transection of the sciatic nerve was carried out in both cordotomized and control animals. Five weeks after denervation, contractile properties were tested isometrically in vitro; myofibrillar properties were assessed by histochemical staining of the muscle fibers and by electrophoretic analysis of the myosin heavy chain composition. The following results were obtained: (i) In cordotomized animals the contraction time of the soleus was significantly shorter (-23.3% on average) than that in the control animals and this shortening was accompanied by a proportional slow-to-fast shift in myofibrillar properties. (ii) The extensor digitorum longus properties were not significantly different in the control and cordotomized animals. (iii) Denervation in control animals was followed by a marked increase of contraction and half-relaxation times in the extensor digitorum longus, whereas in the soleus only the half-relaxation time was significantly increased; myofibrillar properties in the soleus showed an appreciable slow-to-fast shift, whereas in the fast muscle the main change was an increase in type 2A fibers to the detriment of type 2B. (iv) In cordotomized animals, denervation caused the soleus contraction time to increase to control values, whereas myofibrillar properties shifted to an even faster pattern; in the extensor digitorum longus denervation caused the same changes seen in the control animals. The results showed that cordotomy at birth caused the soleus to develop as a faster muscle than in the control animals. The concurrent effects of cordotomy and denervation on the myofibrillar properties of the soleus suggest that the slow-to-fast change in these properties is a common consequence of the reduction in the level of motor activity. The opposite effects of the two experimental conditions in the soleus contraction time support the view that the contractile alterations that follow denervation mainly reflect alterations in the muscle activation process.
