摘要

We hypothesized that pharmacological induction of HSP70 would attenuate soleus atrophy development under 3 d of rat hindlimb unloading. Male Wistar rats were divided into control (C; n=7), 3-d hindlimb unloading (HUL; n=7), HUL with HSP90 inducer administration, 17-allylamino-17-emethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; 60 mg/kg, HUL + 17-AAG, n=8). The relative weight of soleus muscle to body weight [soleus wt (mg)/body wt (g)] in the HUL group was less than that of the C and HUL + 17-AAG groups (P<0.05). We revealed HSP90, HSP70 mRNA decrease in the HUL group (but not the HUL + 17-AAG group) vs. C (P<0.05). The unloading resulted in significant increases of mu-calpain and conjugated ubiquitin (Ub) levels (proteins as well as mRNAs) vs. the C group, whereas 17-AAG administration prevented these alterations (studied by SDS-PAGE and RT-PCR). pFOXO3 protein was decreased in the HUL group vs. C, but not in HUL + 17-AAG. Content of E3-lygase (MuRF-1, MAFbx) mRNA was increased in both suspended groups. In summary, 17-AAG administration attenuates soleus muscle atrophy, mu-calpain, and Ub increases under hindlimb unloading as well as decrease of pFOXO3.-Lomonosova, Y.
