Development of the excitation-contraction coupling machinery and its relation to myofibrillogenesis in human iPSC-derived skeletal myocytes

Abstract: Background: Human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived myogenic progenitors develop functional and ultrastructural features typical of skeletal muscle when differentiated in culture. Besides disease-modeling, such a system can be used to clarify basic aspects of human skeletal muscle development. In the present study, we focus on the development of the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling, a process that is essential both in muscle physiology and as a tool to differentiate between the skeletal and cardiac m… Show more

“…Apoptosis was down-regulated with exercise training, as evidenced by reduced cytochrome c release from SS mitochondria and attenuated Bax protein levels in the mKO mice. Proteins of the autophagy pathway, including Parkin, Beclin-1, and LC3-II were significantly upregulated in the WT mice with training, as shown in other models of chronic exercise 45 47 . In contrast, training reduced the already elevated levels of these proteins in mKO mice toward levels observed in the WT trained mice.…”

“…Fasting had no effect on the isometric force-frequency relationship at baseline or under any of the tested conditions in the EDL (Fig 2A) or soleus (Fig 2B), indicating reduced carbohydrate pool size did not alter excitation-contraction coupling. Specific force values for both muscles were consistent with those obtained previously [21]. Additionally, we observed characteristic reductions in maximal specific force following the O 2 protocols (and completely impaired force production following the N 2 protocols) in both muscles (Fig 2A and 2B).…”

“…Ca V 1.1 is the voltage sensor for skeletal muscle EC coupling [ 35 ]. Similar to the role of Ca V 1.2 in heart and smooth muscle, Ca V 1.1 senses the depolarization of the muscle cell during bursts of action potentials and leads to a rapid increase of the myoplasmic free calcium concentration, which in turn triggers shortening of the contractile elements and force production.…”
