Abstract [en]

Critical illness myopathy (CIM) is characterized by a preferential loss of the motor protein myosin, muscle wasting, and impaired muscle function in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients. CIM is associated with severe morbidity and mortality and has a significant negative socioeconomic effect. Neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, sepsis, mechanical ventilation, and immobilization have been implicated as important risk factors, but the causal relationship between CIM and the risk factors has not been established. A porcine ICU model has been used to determine the immediate molecular and cellular cascades that may contribute to the pathogenesis prior to myosin loss and extensive muscle wasting. Expression profiles have been compared between pigs exposed to the ICU interventions, i.e., mechanically ventilated, sedated, and immobilized for 5 days, with pigs exposed to critical illness interventions, i.e., neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, and induced sepsis in addition to the ICU interventions for 5 days. Impaired autophagy as well as impaired chaperone expression and protein synthesis were observed in the skeletal muscle in response to critical illness interventions. A novel finding in this study is impaired core autophagy machinery in response to critical illness interventions, which when in concert with downregulated chaperone expression and protein synthesis may collectively affect the proteostasis in skeletal muscle and may exacerbate the disease progression in CIM.

Abstract [en]

Critical illness associated muscle weakness and muscle dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU) patients lead to severe morbidity and mortality as well as significant adverse effect on quality of life. Immobilization, mechanical ventilation, neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, and sepsis have been implicated as important risk factors, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear.  A unique porcine ICU model was employed to investigate the effect of these risk factors on the expression profiles, gene expression and contractile properties of limb and diaphragm muscle, in the early phase of ICU stay. This project has focused on unraveling the underlying molecular and cellular pathways or networks in response to ICU and critical illness interventions.

Upregulation of heat shock proteins indicated to play a protective role despite number of differentially transcribed gene groups that would otherwise have a negative effect on muscle fiber structure and function in response to immobilization and mechanical ventilation.  Mechanical ventilation appears to play a critical role in development of diaphragmatic dysfunction. Impaired autophagy, chaperone expression and protein synthesis are indicated to play a pivotal role in exacerbating muscle weakness in response to the combined effect of risk factors in ICU. These results may be of therapeutic importance in alleviating critical illness associated muscle weakness.
