摘要
The mechanisms underlying muscle dysfunction with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are poorly understood. Indirect evidence has recently suggested a role of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE) in the pathophysiology of COPD. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the redox balance and mitochondrial alterations in the skeletal muscle of a mouse model deficient in the receptor for AGE (RAGE-KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 exposed to cigarette smoke for 8-months using immunoblotting, spectrophotometry, and high-resolution respirometry. Cigarette smoke exposure increased by two-fold 4-HNE levels (P < 0.001), a marker of oxidative stress, and markedly downregulated contractile proteins, mitochondrial respiratory complexes, and uncoupling proteins levels (P < 0.001). Functional alterations with cigarette smoke exposure included a greater reliance on complex-I supported respiration (P < 0.01) and lower relative respiratory capacity for fatty acid (P < 0.05). RAGE knockout resulted in 47% lower 4-HNE protein levels than the corresponding WT control mice exposed to cigarette smoke (P < 0.05), which was partly attributed to increased Complex III protein levels. Independent of cigarette smoke exposure, RAGE KO decreased mitochondrial specific maximal respiration (P < 0.05), resulting in a compensatory increase in mitochondrial content measured by citrate synthase activity (P < 0.001) such that muscle respiratory capacity remained unaltered. Together, these findings suggest that knockout of RAGE protected the skeletal muscle against oxidative damage induced by 8 months of cigarette smoke exposure. In addition, this study supports a role for RAGE in regulating mitochondrial content and function and can thus serve as a potential therapeutic target.
