Exertional heat stroke causes long-term skeletal muscle epigenetic reprogramming, altered gene expression, and impaired satellite cell function in mice.
The effect of exertional heat stroke (EHS) exposure on skeletal muscles is incompletely understood. Muscle weakness is an early symptom of EHS but is not considered a major target of multiorgan injury. Previously, in a preclinical mouse model of EHS, we observed the vulnerability of limb muscles to a second EHS exposure, suggesting hidden processes contributing to declines in muscle resilience. Here, we evaluated the possible molecular origins of EHS-induced declines in muscle resilience. Female C57BL/6 mice [total n = 56; 28/condition, i.e., EHS and exercise control (EXC)] underwent forced wheel running at 37.5°C/40% relative humidity until symptom limitation (unconsciousness). EXC mice exercised identically at room temperature (22-23°C). After 1 mo of recovery, the following were assessed: 1) specific force and caffeine-induced contracture in soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles; 2) transcriptome and DNA methylome responses in gastrocnemius (GAST); and 3) primary satellite cell function (proliferation and differentiation). There were no differences in specific force in either SOL or EDL from EXC. Only EHS solei exhibited lower caffeine sensitivity.

期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology publishes original investigations that illuminate normal or abnormal regulation and integration of physiological mechanisms at all levels of biological organization, ranging from molecules to humans, including clinical investigations. Major areas of emphasis include regulation in genetically modified animals; model organisms; development and tissue plasticity; neurohumoral control of circulation and hypertension; local control of circulation; cardiac and renal integration; thirst and volume, electrolyte homeostasis; glucose homeostasis and energy balance; appetite and obesity; inflammation and cytokines; integrative physiology of pregnancy-parturition-lactation; and thermoregulation and adaptations to exercise and environmental stress.
