Abstract

Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a highly conserved and ubiquitous protein that is reported to provide cytoprotection in various cell types and tissues. However, the importance of Hsp70 expression during skeletal muscle atrophy, when Hsp70 levels are significantly decreased, is not known. The current study aimed to determine whether plasmid‐mediated overexpression of Hsp70, in the soleus muscle of rats, was sufficient to regulate specific atrophy signaling pathways and attenuate skeletal muscle disuse atrophy. We found that Hsp70 overexpression prevented disuse muscle fiber atrophy and inhibited the increased promoter activities of atrogin‐1 and MuRF1. Importantly, the transcriptional activities of Foxo3a and NF‐κB, which are implicated in the regulation of atrogin‐1 and MuRF1, were abolished by Hsp70. These data suggest that Hsp70 may regulate key atrophy genes through inhibiting Foxo3a and NF‐κB activities during disuse. Indeed, we show that specific inhibition of Foxo3a prevented the increases in both atrogin‐1 and MuRF1 promoter activities during disuse. However, inhibition of NF‐κB did not affect the activation of either promoter, suggesting its requirement for disuse atrophy is through its regulation of other atrophy genes. We conclude that overexpression of Hsp70 is sufficient to inhibit key atrophy signaling pathways and prevent skeletal muscle atrophy.— Senf, S. M., Dodd, S. L., McClung, J. M., Judge, A. R.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
