Abstract:
The plasma membrane fatty acid transport protein FAT/CD36 is also present at the mitochondria, where it may contribute to the regulation of fatty acid oxidation, although this has been challenged. Therefore, we have compared enzyme activities and rates of mitochondrial palmitate oxidation in muscles of wild-type (WT) and FAT/CD36 knockout (KO) mice, at rest and after muscle contraction. In WT and KO mice, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I, citrate synthase, and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities did not differ in subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria of WT and FAT/CD36 KO mice. Basal palmitate oxidation rates were lower ( P < 0.05) in KO mice (SS −18%; IMF −13%). Muscle contraction increased fatty acid oxidation (+18%) and mitochondrial FAT/CD36 protein (+16%) in WT IMF but not in WT SS, or in either mitochondrial subpopulation in KO mice. This revealed that the difference in IMF mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation between WT and KO mice can be increased ∼2.5-fold from 13% under basal conditions to 35% during muscle contraction. The FAT/CD36 inhibitor sulfo- N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO), inhibited palmitate transport across the plasma membrane in WT, but not in KO mice. In contrast, SSO bound to mitochondrial membranes and reduced palmitate oxidation rates to a similar extent in both WT and KO mitochondria (∼80%; P < 0.05). In addition, SSO reduced state III respiration with succinate as a substrate, without altering mitochondrial coupling (P/O ratios). Thus, while SSO inhibits FAT/CD36-mediated palmitate transport at the plasma membrane, SSO has undefined effects on mitochondria. Nevertheless, the KO animals reveal that FAT/CD36 contributes to the regulation of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, which is especially important for meeting the increased metabolic demands during muscle contraction.

Abstract:
A unique property of mitochondria in mammalian cells is their ability to physically interact and undergo dynamic events of fusion/fission that remodel their morphology and possibly their function. In cultured cells, metabolic perturbations similar to those incurred during exercise influence mitochondrial fusion and fission processes, but it is unknown whether exercise acutely alters mitochondrial morphology and/or membrane interactions in vivo. To study this question, we subjected mice to a 3-h voluntarily exercise intervention following their normal physical activity patterns, and quantified mitochondrial morphology and membrane interactions in the soleus using a quantitative electron microscopy approach. A single exercise bout effectively decreased blood glucose ( P < 0.05) and intramyocellular lipid content ( P < 0.01), indicating increased muscle metabolic demand. The number of mitochondria spanning Z-lines and proportion of electron-dense contact sites (EDCS) between adjacent mitochondrial membranes were increased immediately after exercise among both subsarcolemmal (+116%, P < 0.05) and intermyofibrillar mitochondria (+191%, P < 0.001), indicating increased physical interactions. Mitochondrial morphology, and abundance of the mitochondrial pro-fusion proteins Mfn2 and OPA1 were unchanged. Collectively, these results support the notion that mitochondrial membrane dynamics are actively remodelled in skeletal muscle, which may be regulated by contractile activity and the metabolic state. Future studies are required to understand the implications of mitochondrial dynamics in skeletal muscle physiology during exercise and inactivity.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the role of fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), plasma membrane associated fatty acid binding protein (FABPpm), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPTI) in transporting long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) across mitochondrial membranes. Maximal CPTI activity, as well as the sensitivity of CPTI for its substrate palmitoyl-CoA (P-CoA) and its inhibitor malonyl-CoA (M-CoA), were measured in mitochondria isolated from human vastus lateralis muscles at rest and following muscle contraction. Exercise did not alter maximal CPTI activity or the sensitivity of CPTI for P-CoA. In contrast, exercise progressively attenuated the ability of M-CoA to inhibit CPTI activity. Mitochondrial FAT/CD36 protein content was also measured at rest, during, and following 2 h of cycling at ~60% maximal oxygen uptake. Exercise progressively increased the content of mitochondrial FAT/CD36 (+59%), which was significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with palmitate oxidation during exercise (r = 0.52), while palmitate oxidation was inhibited ~80% by the administration of a specific FAT/CD36 inhibitor. These data suggest that alterations in CPTI M-CoA sensitivity and increases in mitochondrial FAT/CD36 coordinate exercise-induced increases in fatty acid oxidation. FABPpm, another plasma membrane transport protein, has identical amino acid sequence to mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAspAT). Since FABPpm contributes to plasma membrane fatty acid transport, the role of FABPpm with respect to mitochondrial LCFA transport was investigated. However, unlike FAT/CD36, muscle contraction did not induce an increase in mitochondrial FABPpm protein in rat or human skeletal muscle. In addition, electrotransfecting FABPpm cDNA into rat skeletal muscle upregulated this protein in mitochondria by 80% without altering mitochondrial palmitate oxidation. In contrast, electrotransfection increased mAspAT activity by 90%, and this was correlated (r = 0.75; p < 0.01) with FABPpm protein. These data suggest that FABPpm does not contribute to the regulation of mitochondrial LCFA transport. Previously, it has been suggested that mitochondria from obese individuals contain an inherent dysfunction to oxidize LCFAs. In age-matched lean (BMI = 23.3 ± 0.7 kg·m–2) and obese (BMI = 37.6 ± 2.2 kg·m–2) individuals, isolated mitochondrial palmitate oxidation was not altered. In addition, mitochondrial FAT/CD36 content was not different in lean and obese individuals. In contrast, citrate synthase and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, common markers of total mitochondrial content, were decreased with obesity. Therefore, the decrease in mitochondrial content appeared to account for the observed reductions in whole-muscle LCFA oxidation.

Abstract:
Muscle contraction may protect against the effects of chemotherapy to cause skeletal muscle atrophy, but the mechanisms underlying these benefits are unclear. To address this question, we utilized in vitro modeling of contraction and mechanotransduction in C2C12 myotubes treated with doxorubicin (DOX; 0.2 μM for 3 days). Myotubes expressed contractile proteins and organized these into functional myofilaments, as electrical field stimulation (STIM) induced intracellular calcium (Ca2+) transients and contractions, both of which were prevented by inhibition of membrane depolarization. DOX treatment reduced myotube myosin content, protein synthesis, and Akt (S308) and forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a; S253) phosphorylation and increased muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1) expression. STIM (1 h/day) prevented DOX-induced reductions in myotube myosin content and Akt and FoxO3a phosphorylation, as well as increases in MuRF1 expression, but did not prevent DOX-induced reductions in protein synthesis. Inhibition of myosin-actin interaction during STIM prevented contraction and the antiatrophic effects of STIM without affecting Ca2+ cycling, suggesting that the beneficial effect of STIM derives from mechanotransductive pathways. Further supporting this conclusion, mechanical stretch of myotubes recapitulated the effects of STIM to prevent DOX suppression of FoxO3a phosphorylation and upregulation of MuRF1. DOX also increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which led to a decrease in mitochondrial content. Although STIM did not alter DOX-induced ROS production, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α and antioxidant enzyme expression were upregulated, and mitochondrial loss was prevented. Our results suggest that the activation of mechanotransductive pathways that downregulate proteolysis and preserve mitochondrial content protects against the atrophic effects of chemotherapeutics.

Abstract:
Recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) is a chronic muscle disorder of unknown etiology in racehorses. A potential role of intramuscular calcium (Ca2+) dysregulation in RER has led to the use of dantrolene to prevent episodes of rhabdomyolysis. We examined differentially expressed proteins (DEP) and gene transcripts (DEG) in gluteal muscle of Thoroughbred race-trained mares after exercise among three groups of 5 horses each; 1) horses susceptible to, but not currently experiencing rhabdomyolysis, 2) healthy horses with no history of RER (control), 3) RER-susceptible horses treated with dantrolene pre-exercise (RER-D). Tandem mass tag LC/MS/MS quantitative proteomics and RNA-seq analysis (FDR <0.05) was followed by gene ontology (GO) and semantic similarity of enrichment terms. Of the 375 proteins expressed, 125 were DEP in RER-susceptible versus control, with 52 ↑DEP mainly involving Ca2+ regulation (N = 11) (e.g. RYR1, calmodulin, calsequestrin, calpain), protein degradation (N = 6), antioxidants (N = 4), plasma membranes (N = 3), glyco(geno)lysis (N = 3) and 21 DEP being blood-borne. ↓DEP (N = 73) were largely mitochondrial (N = 45) impacting the electron transport system (28), enzymes (6), heat shock proteins (4), and contractile proteins (12) including Ca2+ binding proteins. There were 812 DEG in RER-susceptible versus control involving the electron transfer system, the mitochondrial transcription/translational response and notably the pro-apoptotic Ca2+-activated mitochondrial membrane transition pore (SLC25A27, BAX, ATP5 subunits). Upregulated mitochondrial DEG frequently had downregulation of their encoded DEP with semantic similarities highlighting signaling mechanisms regulating mitochondrial protein translation. RER-susceptible horses treated with dantrolene, which slows sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release, showed no DEG compared to control horses. We conclude that RER-susceptibility is associated with alterations in proteins, genes and pathways impacting myoplasmic Ca2+ regulation, the mitochondrion and protein degradation with opposing effects on mitochondrial transcriptional/translational responses and mitochondrial protein content. RER could potentially arise from excessive sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release and subsequent mitochondrial buffering of excessive myoplasmic Ca2+.

Abstract:
AbstractCalpains are cysteine proteases expressed in skeletal muscle fibers and other cells. Although calpain was first reported to act as a kinase activating factor in skeletal muscle, the consensus is now that calpains play a canonical role in protein turnover. However, recent evidence reveals new and exciting roles for calpains in skeletal muscle. This review will discuss the functions of calpains in skeletal muscle remodeling in response to both exercise and inactivity-induced muscle atrophy. Calpains participate in protein turnover and muscle remodeling by selectively cleaving target proteins and creating fragmented proteins that can be further degraded by other proteolytic systems. Nonetheless, an often overlooked function of calpains is that calpain-mediated cleavage of proteins can result in fragmented proteins that are biologically active and have the potential to actively influence cell signaling. In this manner, calpains function beyond their roles in protein turnover and influence downstream signaling effects. This review will highlight both the canonical and noncanonical roles that calpains play in skeletal muscle remodeling including sarcomere transformation, membrane repair, triad junction formation, regulation of excitation-contraction coupling, protein turnover, cell signaling, and mitochondrial function. We conclude with a discussion of key unanswered questions regarding the roles that calpains play in skeletal muscle.

Abstract:
The mechanisms regulating oxidative phosphorylation during exercise remain poorly defined; however, key mitochondrial proteins, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) and adenine nucleotide translocase, have redox-sensitive sites. Interestingly, muscle contraction has recently been shown to increase mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; therefore, we aimed to determine if mitochondrial-derived ROS influences bioenergetic responses to exercise. Specifically, we examined the influence of acute exercise on mitochondrial bioenergetics in WT (wild type) and transgenic mice (MCAT, mitochondrial-targeted catalase transgenic) possessing attenuated mitochondrial ROS. We found that ablating mitochondrial ROS did not alter palmitoyl-CoA (P-CoA) respiratory kinetics or influence the exercise-mediated reductions in malonyl CoA sensitivity, suggesting that mitochondrial ROS does not regulate CPT-I. In contrast, while mitochondrial protein content, maximal coupled respiration, and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) sensitivity in resting muscle were unchanged in the absence of mitochondrial ROS, exercise increased the apparent ADP Km (decreased ADP sensitivity) ∼30% only in WT mice. Moreover, while the presence of P-CoA decreased ADP sensitivity, it did not influence the basic response to exercise, as the apparent ADP Km was increased only in the presence of mitochondrial ROS. This basic pattern was also mirrored in the ability of ADP to suppress mitochondrial H2O2 emission rates, as exercise decreased the suppression of H2O2 only in WT mice. Altogether, these data demonstrate that while exercise-induced mitochondrial-derived ROS does not influence CPT-I substrate sensitivity, it inhibits ADP sensitivity independent of P-CoA. These data implicate mitochondrial redox signaling as a regulator of oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract:
We previously demonstrated that subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondrial subfractions import proteins at different rates. This study was undertaken to investigate 1) whether protein import is altered by chronic contractile activity, which induces mitochondrial biogenesis, and 2) whether these two subfractions adapt similarly. Using electrical stimulation (10 Hz, 3 h/day for 7 and 14 days) to induce contractile activity, we observed that malate dehydrogenase import into the matrix of the SS and IMF mitochondia isolated from stimulated muscle was significantly increased by 1.4- to 1.7-fold, although the pattern of increase differed for each subfraction. This acceleration of import may be mitochondrial compartment specific, since the import of Bcl-2 into the outer membrane was not affected. Contractile activity also modified the mitochondrial content of proteins comprising the import machinery, as evident from increases in the levels of the intramitochondrial chaperone mtHSP70 as well as the outer membrane import receptor Tom20 in SS and IMF mitochondria. Addition of cytosol isolated from stimulated or control muscles to the import reaction resulted in similar twofold increases in the ability of mitochondria to import malate dehydrogenase, despite elevations in the concentration of mitochondrial import-stimulating factor within the cytosol of chronically stimulated muscle. These results suggest that chronic contractile activity modifies the extra- and intramitochondrial environments in a fashion that favors the acceleration of precursor protein import into the matrix of the organelle. This increase in protein import is likely an important adaptation in the overall process of mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract:
Evidence exists that mitochondrial content and/or function is reduced in muscle of aging individuals. The purposes of this study were to investigate the contribution of outer membrane protein import and assembly processes to this decline and to determine whether the assembly process could adapt to chronic contractile activity (CCA). Tom40 assembly into the translocases of the outer membrane (TOM complex) was measured in subsarcolemmal mitochondria obtained from young (6 mo old) and aged (36 mo old) Fischer 344 × Brown Norway animals. While the initial import of Tom40 did not differ between young and aged animals, its subsequent assembly into the final ∼380 kDa complex was 2.2-fold higher ( P < 0.05) in mitochondria from aged compared with young animals. This was associated with a higher abundance of Tom22, a protein vital for the assembly process. CCA induced a greater initial import and subsequent assembly of Tom40 in mitochondria from young animals, resulting in a CCA-induced 75% increase ( P < 0.05) in Tom40 within mitochondria. This effect of CCA was attenuated in mitochondria from old animals. These data suggest that the import and assembly of proteins into the outer membrane do not contribute to reduced mitochondrial content or function in aged animals. Indeed, the greater assembly rate in mitochondria from aged animals may be a compensatory mechanism attempting to offset any decrements in mitochondrial content or function within aged muscle. Our data also indicate the potential of CCA to contribute to increased mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle through changes in the outer membrane import and assembly pathway.
