An integrative approach to in-vivo protein synthesis measurement: from whole tissue to specific proteins

Abstract: To understand the mechanisms by which protein metabolism is altered during physiopathological situations, it is of importance to measure the effect on specific proteins rather than on the body as a whole. Procedures are currently under development with the aim of isolating individuals proteins and to measure their synthesis rates by isotopic methods. Such technical progress is needed to gain a better understanding of the regulation of protein metabolism in situations in which loss of body protein mass occurs.

“…127 However, muscle biopsies are required for precise quantification of skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Even though these have not been reported in human patients with cirrhosis, whole body amino acid kinetic studies showed lower rates of protein synthesis in patients with cirrhosis than in controls.…”

“…In addition to the inconvenience of long term administration of amino acid tracers and difficulties in determining the true precursor labeling, these methods are hampered by low isotopic labeling of protein products and difficulties with data interpretation related to determining the precursor-product labeling ratio. Classical protein turnover studies were also often limited to investigating of the kinetics of an individual or mixed protein pool in whole body or specific organs (5). Recent advances in protein sequencing allowed the assessment of the turnover rates of multiple individual proteins simultaneously (6).…”

“…Skeletal muscles are the major deposit of protein molecules (about 40% of body weight in young males with 20-22% body mass index, (expressed as kg.m −2 ), and nearly 60% of total body protein in humans. Other organs or tissues contain proteins such as the liver which synthesizes plasma proteins (including albumin which represents nearly 50% of liver proteins), immune cells (mainly leucocytes), intestinal tract proteins (digestive enzymes), bone and dermal collagen [1]. For any cell or tissue, protein balance reflects the net protein synthesis and protein degradation which differs drastically among tissues and organs, between cell compartments.…”
