Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is well known that the efficiency of muscle hypertrophy is reduced in the skeletal muscle of the elderly, and this factor makes difficult to recovery from sarcopenia. We have studied the relationship between skeletal muscle hypertrophy and ribosome biosynthesis (RB) and clarified a strong correlation between them. In this study, to clarify the causal relationship between the degree of RB and the muscle hypertrophy rate, RB was inhibited using RB inhibitor during skeletal muscle hypertrophy. As a result, it appeared that muscle hypertrophy rate decreases by RB inhibitor administration. Furthermore, using the skeletal muscle of aged mouse, the relationship between sarcopenia and RB was examined. As a result, it was found that RB declines preceded a decrease of skeletal muscle mass with aging, and the increase of translational efficiency compensated the RB declines in middle-aged.
