Outline of Final Research Achievements

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a critical health problem. However, the effect of iron on skeletal muscle atrophy has remained unclear. Mice with excess iron-injected group showed the reduced skeletal muscle mass. The skeletal muscle with iron treatment showed elevated mRNA expression of the muscle atrophy-related E3 ubiquitin ligases, atrogin-1 and muscle ring finger-1(MuRF1). Moreover, iron-treated mice showed reduced phosphorylation of Akt and forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a) in skeletal muscles. In in vitro experiments using C2C12 myotube cells, FOXO3a siRNA inhibited iron-induced upregulation of atrogin-1 and MuRF1 and reversed the reduction in myotube diameters. Iron-load caused oxidative stress, and an oxidative stress inhibitor abrogated iron-induced muscle atrophy by recovering the reduced phosphorylation of Akt-FOXO3a pathway. Iron-induced skeletal muscle atrophy is suggested to involve the inactivation of Akt-FOXO3a-E3 ubiquitin ligase signaling by oxidative stress.
