Abstract

In normal subjects and diabetic patients, insulin suppresses whole body proteolysis suggesting that the loss of lean body mass and muscle wasting in insulinopenia is related to increased muscle protein degradation. To document how insulinopenia affects organ weights and to identify the pathway for accelerated proteolysis in muscle, streptozotocin-treated and vehicle-injected, pair-fed control rats were studied. The weights of liver, adipose tissue, and muscle were decreased while muscle protein degradation was increased 75% by insulinopenia. This proteolytic response was not eliminated by blocking lysosomal function and calcium-dependent proteases at 7 or 3 d after streptozotocin. When ATP synthesis in muscle was inhibited, the rates of proteolysis were reduced to the same level in insulinopenic and control rats suggesting that the ATP-dependent, ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is activated. Additional evidence for activation of this pathway in muscle includes: (a) an inhibitor of proteasome activity eliminated the increased protein degradation; (b) mRNAs encoding ubiquitin and proteasome subunits were increased two- to threefold; and (c) there was increased transcription of the ubiquitin gene. We conclude that the mechanism for muscle protein wasting in insulinopenia includes activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway with increased expression of the ubiquitin gene.

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.
