Mitochondria-encoded proteins are necessary for oxidative phosphorylation; however, no report has examined how physical activity (PA) and obesity affect mitochondrial mRNA translation machinery. Our purpose was to determine whether Western diet (WD)-induced obesity and voluntary wheel running (VWR) impact mitochondrial mRNA translation machinery and whether expression of this machinery is dictated by oxidative phenotype.
Obesity was induced with 8-wk WD feeding, and in the final 4 wks, half of mice were allowed VWR. Mitochondrial mRNA translation machinery including initiation factors (mtIF2/3), elongation factor Tu (TUFM) and translational activator (TACO1), and mitochondria-encoded proteins (CytB and ND4) was assessed by immunoblotting. The relation of mitochondrial mRNA translation to muscle oxidative phenotype was assessed using PGC-1α transgenic overexpression (MCK-PGC-1α vs. wild-type mice) and comparing across muscle groups in wild-type mice.
mtIF3 and TACO1 proteins were ~45% greater in VWR than sedentary (SED), and TACO1 and mtIF2 proteins were ~60% and 125% greater in WD than normal chow (NC). TUFM protein was ~50% lower in WD-SED than NC-SED, but ~50% greater in WD-VWR compared to NC-SED. CytB and ND4 were ~40% greater in VWR and ND4 was twofold greater with WD. TUFM, TACO1, ND4 and CytB were greater in MCK-PGC-1α compared to wild-type, and mtIF2/3 contents were not different. In oxidative muscle (soleus), mitochondrial translation machinery was elevated compared to mixed (gastrocnemius) or glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus) muscles.
These data suggest a novel mechanism promoting mitochondrial function by translation of mitochondrial protein following PA. This may act to promote muscle health by PA in obesity.
线粒体编码的蛋白质是氧化磷酸化所必需的;然而,目前尚无报道探讨体力活动(PA)和肥胖如何影响线粒体 mRNA 翻译机制。本研究旨在确定西式饮食(WD)诱导的肥胖和自愿轮跑(VWR)是否会影响线粒体 mRNA 翻译机制,以及这种机制的表达是否由氧化表型决定。
用 8 周 WD 喂养诱导肥胖,在最后 4 周,一半的小鼠被允许进行 VWR。通过免疫印迹法评估线粒体 mRNA 翻译机制,包括起始因子(mtIF2/3)、延伸因子 Tu(TUFM)和翻译激活因子(TACO1)以及线粒体编码蛋白(CytB 和 ND4)。使用过表达 PGC-1α 的转基因(MCK-PGC-1α 与野生型小鼠)和在野生型小鼠中比较不同肌肉群来评估线粒体 mRNA 翻译与肌肉氧化表型的关系。
与安静状态(SED)相比,VWR 组的 mtIF3 和 TACO1 蛋白增加了约 45%,而 WD 组的 TACO1 和 mtIF2 蛋白增加了约 60%和 125%。与 NC-SED 相比,WD-SED 组的 TUFM 蛋白减少了约 50%,但 WD-VWR 组增加了约 50%。CytB 和 ND4 在 VWR 中增加了约 40%,而 WD 中增加了两倍。与野生型相比,MCK-PGC-1α 组的 TUFM、TACO1、ND4 和 CytB 增加,而 mtIF2/3 含量没有差异。与混合(比目鱼肌)或糖酵解(伸趾长肌)肌肉相比,氧化肌肉(比目鱼肌)中的线粒体翻译机制升高。
这些数据表明,PA 后通过翻译线粒体蛋白来促进线粒体功能的新机制。这可能通过 PA 促进肥胖中的肌肉健康。
