Ectopic TWEAKR expression in type I fiber of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats is related to slow muscle-specific hypotrophy.

Abstract:

AIMS:Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) show significantly lower body weight than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Our hypotheses are as follows: weight loss of the skeletal muscle is related to hypertension-related diseases, and muscle hypotrophy is useful as a therapeutic target for hypertension and hypertension-related diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the pathophysiological characteristics of muscle hypotrophy in SHRSP to determine the therapeutic target molecule(s). MAIN METHODS:The difference in skeletal muscles in the lower leg between WKY and SHRSP was evaluated mainly through weight/tibial length, histological, gene expression, and protein expression analyses. KEY FINDINGS:SHRSP had a significantly lower weight/tibial length in soleus and gastrocnemius, but not in plantaris and tibialis anterior, indicating that muscles consisting of a relatively high amount of slow muscle fiber were affected. This result was confirmed by the histological analysis of soleus, showing that type I fiber mainly decreased the fiber size. Microarray and protein expression analyses showed that the muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase, muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1), but not atrogin-1, was highly expressed in soleus, but not in plantaris, in SHRSP. TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis receptor (TWEAKR) was predicted as a MuRF1 up-regulator by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and immunostained only in type II fiber in WKY but in both type I and II fibers in SHRSP. SIGNIFICANCE:TWEAKR is a type II-specific receptor in the skeletal muscle. Ectopic TWEAKR expression in type I fiber of SHRSP is most likely involved in slow muscle-specific hypotrophy through MuRF1 overexpression.
