Myofibrillar protein breakdown during brief and prolonged starvation was assessed in perfused rat skeletal muscle from 8-week-old fat-fed rats that conserve skeletal muscle protein during starvation and survive for 12 to 15 days and age-matched chow-fed rats that do not conserve protein and survive only five to six days. Following the inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide, myofibrillar proteolysis was assessed by measuring the release of 3-methylhistidine from the perfused rat hindquarter while simultaneous measurement of total protein breakdown was assessed by measuring tyrosine release. Myofibrillar proteolysis progressed through three distinct phases during starvation: an early phase occurring within 24 hours in which proteolysis increased in all rats, a middle phase, which took three to five days to develop and during which proteolysis decreased and was present only in fat-fed rats, and a late phase in which proteolysis again increased. Total protein breakdown (ie, tyrosine release) changed little in phase I, decreased in phase II, and increased in phase III. The release of 3-methylhistidine from the perfused hindquarter reflected changes in muscle and urine of intact rats suggesting that data obtained with the perfused hindquarter reflected the in vivo situation. Insulin, amino acids, high concentrations of glucose, indodethacin, or epinephrine as well as adrenalectomy failed to attenuate the increase in 3-methylhistidine release from the perfused hindquarter during brief and late starvation. Free fatty acids and ketone bodies were also without effect in vitro. Refeeding fasting rats for four hours decreased myofibrillar proteolysis. The data indicate that the breakdown of myofibrillar and nonmyofibrillar proteins can respond differently to starvation and may even do so at different stages of the fast. Previous known modulators of general muscle proteolysis were unable to attenuate myofibrillar proteolysis acutely, suggesting that if they play a role, a much longer exposure to muscle is necessary. Also, the data indicate that significant changes in myofibrillar proteolysis can occur in situations where total protein breakdown is not revealing. Future studies attempting to delineate regulatory mechanisms of proteolysis in muscle must be designed with this in mind.
