Abstract

Abstract: In humans aging is a complex process that determines many physical and metabolic alterations correlated to the accumulation of oxidative damage in different tissues. Sarcopenia is an age‐related nonpathological condition that includes a progressive loss of mass and strength in skeletal muscle, associated with a decline in the fibers' functional capability. This condition could be correlated to abnormal reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation with consequent fiber oxidative damage. This complex situation is not only evident in mature muscle fibers but also in muscle resident satellite cells (involved in fiber damage repairing) in which some functional parameters, at least for that concerns the Ca 2+ homeostasis, seem to be modified. In fact, our data show that there is an age‐dependent increase of lipid peroxidation, in cultured myotubes (differentiated and fused satellite cells) after 7 days of in vitro differentiation. In these substrates also the capacity of these cells to produce Ca 2+ transient in response to various stimuli (ATP, caffeine, nicotine, KCl) is, sometimes, drastically modified. In particular, the presence of an age‐dependent defective status of excitation–contraction (EC) coupling apparatus is supported by a single cell Ca 2+ analysis obtained from myotubes (derived from aged muscles) in the presence of 40 mM caffeine or 40 mM KCl. The alkaloid presence induces a complete emptying of ryanodine‐dependent calcium stores indicating a probable integrity both of SR‐terminal cisternae and/or the specific Ca 2+ channel known as RyR1. However, if a sarcolemmal depolarization is induced by the addition of 40 mM KCl in the experimental medium then Ca 2+ release RyR1‐dependent can be observed only if Ca 2+ is present in the experimental solution. These results suggest that the EC uncoupling status could be due to the alteration of the interaction between RyR and DHPR. The two receptors are present and functionally active in myotubes from aged donors but they are probably still not in the right localization. These results suggest that during donor's life the satellite cells undergo an aging process similar to the one observed in skeletal muscle tissue, even if they are in a quiescence status for most of the time.

  • Increased reactive oxygen species levels and decreased antioxidant activity in satellite cells could dysregulate basal autophagy and impair the removal of misfolded proteins, thereby affecting satellite cell homeostasis.

    “The increased ROS levels and decreased antioxidant activity in satellite cells [121, 122] could dysregulate basal autophagy (essential to maintaining the quiescent state of stem cells) and impair the removal of misfolded proteins, thereby affecting satellite cell homeostasis [87, 116].”

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.
