Research Abstract |
Using senescent mice (24-month-old), I investigated the adaptive changes in SRF-linked molecule in skeletal muscle. In aged mice, we observed the mardked reductions in the amount of SRF (in cytosol fraction) and MRTF-A (nuclear fraction) proteins in quadriceps muscle. The expression levels of STARS, a possible SRF-upstream mediator, were also decreased in the muscle. Although voluntary exercise attenuated the sarcopenic symptom, there is no significant change in SRF-linked molecules.
