Myosin II heavy chain isoform-beta (β-MyHC) is primarily expressed in the ventricular myocardium and in slow-twitch muscle fibers, such as M. soleus. M. soleus-derived myosin II (SolM-II) is often used as an alternative to the ventricular β-cardiac myosin (βM-II); however, the direct assessment of biochemical and mechanical features of the native myosins is limited. By employing optical trapping, we examined the mechanochemical properties of native myosins isolated from the rabbit heart ventricle and soleus muscles at the single-molecule level. We found purified motors from the two tissue sources, despite expressing the same MyHC isoform, displayed distinct motile and ATPase kinetic properties. We demonstrate βM-II was approximately threefold faster in the actin filament-gliding assay than SolM-II. The maximum actomyosin (AM) detachment rate derived in single-molecule assays was also approximately threefold higher in βM-II, while the power stroke size and stiffness of the \"AM rigor\" crossbridge for both myosins were comparable. Our analysis revealed a higher AM detachment rate for βM-II, corresponding to the enhanced ADP release rates from the crossbridge, likely responsible for the observed differences in the motility driven by these myosins. Finally, we observed a distinct myosin light chain 1 isoform (MLC1sa) that associates with SolM-II, which might contribute to the observed kinetics differences between βM-II and SolM-II. These results have important implications for the choice of tissue sources and justify prerequisites for the correct myosin heavy and light chains to study cardiomyopathies.</p>","PeriodicalId":22153,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Neurology","volume":"22 1","pages":"102070"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9243179/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75522220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SIM loaded MHA-PNIPAAM showed a sustained release of SIM at 37 °C over 16 days. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) proliferation was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red staining. The release profile showed that the release of SIM from MHA-SIM-PNIPAAM lasted 16 days and the cumulative amount of released SIM was almost seven-fold than MHA-SIM. Besides, SIM loaded MHA-PNIPAAM exhibited better performance on cell proliferation, ALP activity, and calcium deposition than pure MHA due to the sustained release of SIM. The quantity of ALP in MHA-SIM-PNIPAAM group was more than two fold than pure MHA group at 7 days.
