Proteomic profiling of fast-to-slow muscle transitions during aging

Abstract: Old age is associated with a large spectrum of physical ailments, including muscle wasting. Skeletal muscle degeneration drastically increases the risk of poor balance, frequent falling and impaired mobility in the elderly. In order to identify new therapeutic targets to halt or even reverse age-dependent muscle weakness and improve diagnostic methods to properly evaluate sarcopenia as a common geriatric syndrome, there is an urgent need to establish a reliable biomarker signature of muscle aging. In this resp… Show more

“…Impairments in mobility, falls and fear of falling (30,31) are therefore of prognostic value (32). Impaired mobility in the elderly, frequent falls and poor balance are connected with the increase in sarcopenia (33,34). In our set we found a correlation between age and mobility problems (Tab.…”

“…However, aging is characterized by a switch from fast- to slow-twitch muscle fiber types (Ohlendieck, 2011), and leucine has been shown to have a greater effect on CSA of Type I fibers (Baptista et al, 2010). Therefore, differential effect of leucine supplementation in aged mice compared to young mice may be due to aged-induced alterations in fiber type.…”

“…The pathophysiological mechanisms of sarcopenia are believed to be highly complex resulting in a multi-factorial etiology. Recent proteomic studies have established extensive changes in the skeletal muscle proteome during the natural aging process [210,211,212], whereby gel-based proteomics has been instrumental in the initial cataloguing of the aged muscle proteome [213,214,215]. Skeletal muscle aging is closely associated with persistent impairments of the peripheral nervous system, which trigger excitation-contraction uncoupling and pathophysiological cycles of denervation and faulty reinnervation.…”
