Growth Hormone Receptor Expression in Atrophying Muscle Fibers of Rats

Abstract: Biological actions of GH on muscle growth and metabolism are mediated through specific trans-membrane receptors. The aim of this study was to determine GH receptor (GHR) mRNA expression in muscle atrophy. GHR gene expression in the rat was investigated by in situ hybridization and RT-PCR in slow-twitch oxidative muscle [soleus (SOL)] and fast-twitch glycolytic muscle [extensor digitorum longus (EDL)] after 7 and 35 d of hindlimb unloading. In control rats, the RT-PCR mRNAs levels of GHR were greater (+34%) in … Show more

“…Transgenic models in mice also indicate that major effects of GH on growth are dependent on IGF-I expression, which requires intact insulin and IGF-I receptor signalling in skeletal muscle (Kim et al, 2005). However, GH regulates other mitogenic factors, and there is now experimental evidence supporting the up-regulated expression of GHRs during muscle repair and maintenance (Casse et al, 2003). In fish, it is believed that genetic duplication and divergence of two GHR subtypes (GHR type I and II) would take place on an early ancestor of fish lineage (Saera-Vila et al, 2005b;Jiao et al, 2006).…”

“…In addition to mechanical loading-induced expression of local factors, several other components such as albumin, IGF-binding proteins, receptors, cytokines (i.e., TNF-1α, IL-1 and IL-6), calcium and vitamins may modulate the effects of IGF-I and myostatin (Casse et al 2003 ; Clemmons 1998 ; Coletti et al 2005 ; Jaspers et al 2008 ; Ling et al 1997 ; Pfeifer et al 2002 ). For example, insulin receptor phosphorylation, insulin receptor substrate (IRS-2) phosphorylation, as well as the downstream PI3K activity were all shown to be significantly higher in the high oxidative soleus compared to EDL (Song et al 1999 ).…”

“…The extent of muscle atrophy depends on the duration and type of given interventions. For example, relative wet weight loss of the SOL 1 week after denervation was 34% (Sakakima et al, 2000), while those induced by joint immobilization (Herbert et al, 1988) and exposure to microgravity (Casse et al, 2003) for 1 week were 42% and 41%, respectively. In our study, arthritis-induced wet weight loss of the SOL and RF muscles was 19% and 21%, respectively.…”
