Unilateral denervation (Dnv) of the rat diaphragm muscle (Diam) markedly alters expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. After 2 wk of Diam Dnv, MHC content per half-sarcomere decreases in fibers expressing MHC2X and MHC2B. We hypothesized that changes in MHC protein expression parallel changes in MHC mRNA expression. Relative MHC isoform mRNA levels were determined by Northern analysis after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of Dnv of the rat Diam. MHC protein expression was determined by SDS-PAGE. Changes in MHC isoform protein and mRNA expression were not concurrent. Expression of MHCSlow and MHC2X mRNA isoforms decreased dramatically by 3 days of Dnv, whereas that of MHC2A and MHC2B did not change. Expression of all MHC protein isoforms decreased by 3 days of Dnv. We observed a differential effect of rat Diam Dnv on MHC isoform protein and mRNA expression. The time course of the changes in MHC isoform mRNA and protein expression suggests a predominant effect of altered protein turnover rates on MHC protein expression instead of altered transcription after Dnv.

A quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was established to determine absolute amounts of mRNAs specific to four myosin heavy chain isoforms [MHCIIb, MHCIId(x), MHCIIa, and MHCIβ] in rat extensor digitorum longus muscle during forced contractile activity by chronic (10 h/day) low-frequency stimulation (CLFS). The induced changes in absolute and relative mRNA amounts were similar. MHCIIb mRNA decreased rapidly after 1 day, and MHCIIa mRNA increased after 3 days. MHCIId(x) started to decrease at day 7. After 42 days, the MHCIIb, MHCIId(x), MHCIIa, and MHCIβ mRNAs amounted to 2, 6, 90, and 2% of total MHC mRNAs, respectively. Changes at the protein level were studied in a second experimental series increasing CLFS (24 h/day, up to 100 days). Also under these conditions, MHCIβ reached only a fraction of 12% (2-fold elevation). The changes at the protein level remained restricted to the MHCIIb to MHCIIa transition, which agrees with the notion that the induced changes in MHC isoform expression primarily resulted from altered pretranslational activities. Rat fast-twitch muscle thus exhibits a restricted capacity for fast-to-slow conversion.
