ABSTRACT
Unloading of slow-twitch muscles results in increased muscle fatigue and the mechanisms of this effect are poorly studied. We aimed to analyze the role of high-energy phosphates accumulation during the first week of rat hindlimb suspension plays in a fiber-type phenotype shift towards fast-type fatigable muscle fibers. Male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 8) C - vivarium control; 7HS - 7-day hindlimb suspension; 7HB - 7-day hindlimb suspension with intraperitoneal injection of beta-guanidine propionic acid (ß-GPA, 400 mg/kg b w). ß-GPA is a competitive inhibitor of creatine kinase and it reduces concentrations of ATP and phosphocreatine. In the 7HB group, ß-GPA treatment protected a slow-type signaling network in an unloaded soleus muscle, including MOTS-C, AMPK, PGC1 α and micro-RNA-499. These signaling effects resulted in a preserved soleus muscle fatigue resistance, slow-type muscle fibers percentage and mitochondrial DNA copy number under muscle unloading.
