摘要
The quality of skeletal muscle is maintained by a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradation. Disruption in this balance results in sarcopenia. However, its underlying mechanisms remain under-investigated. Selenoprotein P (SeP; encoded by in mice) is a hepatokine that is upregulated in type 2 diabetes and aging and causes signal resistances via reductive stress. We created immobilized muscle atrophy (IMM) model in knockout (KO) mice. IMM significantly reduced cross-sectional areas and the size of skeletal muscle fibers, which were ameliorated in KO mice. IMM upregulated the genes encoding E3 ubiquitin ligases and their upstream FoxO1, FoxO3, and KLF15 transcription factors in the skeletal muscle, which were suppressed in KO mice. These findings suggest a possible involvement of SeP-mediated reductive stress in physical inactivity-mediated sarcopenia, which may be a therapeutic target against sarcopenia.
