Prolonged inactivity in skeletal muscles decreases muscle capillary development because of an imbalance between pro- and antiangiogenic signals, mitochondrial metabolism disorders, and increased oxidative stress. Nucleotides have been shown to exert a dose-dependent effect on disuse-induced muscle atrophy. However, the dose-dependent effect on capillary regression in disused muscles remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the dose-dependent effect of nucleotides on capillary regression due to disuse. For this purpose, Wistar rats were divided into five groups as follows: control rats fed nucleotide-free diets (CON), hindlimb-unloaded rats fed nucleotide-free diets (HU), and hindlimb-unloaded rats fed 1.0%, 2.5%, and 5.0% nucleotide diets, (HU + 1.0% NT), (HU + 2.5% NT), and (HU + 5.0% NT), respectively. Unloading increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreased mitochondrial enzyme activity, thereby decreasing the number of muscle capillaries. In contrast, 5.0% nucleotide-containing diet prevented increases in ROS production and reductions in the expression levels of NAMPT, PGC-1α, and CPT-1b proteins. Moreover, 5.0% nucleotide-containing diet prevented mitochondrial enzyme activity (such as citrate synthase and beta-hydroxy acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity) via NAMPT or following PGC-1α upregulation, thereby preventing capillary regression. Therefore, 5.0% nucleotide-containing diet is likely to prevent capillary regression by decreasing oxidative stress and increasing mitochondrial metabolism.
由于促血管生成信号与抗血管生成信号失衡、线粒体代谢紊乱以及氧化应激增加,骨骼肌长期不活动会减少肌肉毛细血管的发育。已证明核苷酸对废用性肌肉萎缩具有剂量依赖性作用。然而,核苷酸对废用肌肉中毛细血管消退的剂量依赖性作用仍不清楚。因此,本研究调查了核苷酸对废用引起的毛细血管消退的剂量依赖性作用。为此,将Wistar大鼠分为以下五组:喂食无核苷酸饮食的对照大鼠(CON)、喂食无核苷酸饮食的后肢卸载大鼠(HU),以及分别喂食1.0%、2.5%和5.0%核苷酸饮食的后肢卸载大鼠(HU + 1.0% NT)、(HU + 2.5% NT)和(HU + 5.0% NT)。后肢卸载会增加活性氧(ROS)的产生并降低线粒体酶活性,从而减少肌肉毛细血管的数量。相比之下,含5.0%核苷酸的饮食可防止ROS产生增加以及NAMPT、PGC-1α和CPT-1b蛋白表达水平的降低。此外,含5.0%核苷酸的饮食通过NAMPT或在PGC-1α上调后防止线粒体酶活性(如柠檬酸合酶和β-羟基酰基辅酶A脱氢酶活性),从而防止毛细血管消退。因此,含5.0%核苷酸的饮食可能通过降低氧化应激和增加线粒体代谢来防止毛细血管消退。
