| Research Abstract |
Using senescent mice (24-month-old), I investigated the adaptive changes in autophagy-linked molecules in skeletal muscle. In aged mice, we observed the marked increase in the amount of p62/SQSTM1 and Beclin-1 protein in cytosol fraction but not membrane and nuclear fraction in quadriceps muscle. Immunofluorescence indicated the marked accumulation of p62/SQSTM1 but not LC3 in the cytosol of sarcopenic muscle fibers of mice. Although voluntary exercise attenuated the sarcopenic symptom, there is no significant change in autophagy-linked molecule.
