Hypoxia-induced changes of rat skeletal muscle were investigated by two-dimensional difference ingel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry. The results indicated that proteins involved in the TCA cycle, ATP production, and electron transport are down-regulated, whereas glycolytic enzymes and deaminases involved in ATP and AMP production were up-regulated. Up-regulation of the hypoxia markers hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1?) and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) was also observed, suggesting that in vivo adaptation to hypoxia requires an active metabolic switch. The kinase protein, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which has been implicated in the regulation of protein synthesis in hypoxia, appears unchanged, suggesting that its activity, in this system, is not controlled by oxygen partial pressure. © 2007 American Chemical Society.

Abstract
Hypoxia-induced changes of rat skeletal muscle were investigated by two-dimensional difference ingel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry. The results indicated that proteins involved in the TCA cycle, ATP production, and electron transport are down-regulated, whereas glycolytic enzymes and deaminases involved in ATP and AMP production were up-regulated. Up-regulation of the hypoxia markers hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1?) and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) was also observed, suggesting that in vivo adaptation to hypoxia requires an active metabolic switch. The kinase protein, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which has been implicated in the regulation of protein synthesis in hypoxia, appears unchanged, suggesting that its activity, in this system, is not controlled by oxygen partial pressure. © 2007 American Chemical Society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
