Negative Effects of Cx43 during Denervated Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Can Be Attenuated by Blueberry Extracts via Regulating Akt Pathway
The lack of effective treatments for alleviating irreversible skeletal muscle atrophy caused by peripheral nerve dysfunction is a clinical problem. To identify therapeutic targets, signaling pathways in muscle cells activated by denervation have been explored, including the important roles of Cx43, a kind of protein that forms gap junctions, in other types of pathological process. The present study investigated the negative role of Cx43 in aggravated muscle cell degeneration following denervation. The blueberry extract was applied orally on mice models, and its protective effect against denervated skeletal muscle atrophy was found by wet weight measurement and tissue staining observation. Cx43/Akt pathway in denervated muscle cells was modulated by blueberry extract. In conclusion, the negative effects of Cx43 on denervated skeletal muscle atrophy were attenuated by blueberry extract by regulating the Akt pathway.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Biochemistry publishes fully peer-reviewed original research and review papers on the effects of handling, storage, and processing on the biochemical aspects of food tissues, systems, and bioactive compounds in the diet.
Researchers in food science, food technology, biochemistry, and nutrition, particularly based in academia and industry, will find much of great use and interest in the journal. Coverage includes:
-Biochemistry of postharvest/postmortem and processing problems
-Enzyme chemistry and technology
-Membrane biology and chemistry
-Cell biology
-Biophysics
-Genetic expression
-Pharmacological properties of food ingredients with an emphasis on the content of bioactive ingredients in foods
Examples of topics covered in recently-published papers on two topics of current wide interest, nutraceuticals/functional foods and postharvest/postmortem, include the following:
-Bioactive compounds found in foods, such as chocolate and herbs, as they affect serum cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease
-The mechanism of the ripening process in fruit
-The biogenesis of flavor precursors in meat
-How biochemical changes in farm-raised fish are affecting processing and edible quality
