Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is implicated in muscle atrophy and weakness associated with a variety of chronic diseases. Recently, we reported that TNF-alpha directly induces muscle protein degradation in differentiated skeletal muscle myotubes, where it rapidly activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B). W e also have found that protein loss induced by TNF-alpha is NF-kappa B dependent. In the present study, we analyzed the signaling pathway by which TNF-alpha activates NF-kappa B in myotubes differentiated from C2C12 and rat primary myoblasts. W e found that activation of NF-kappa B by TNF-alpha was blocked by rotenone or amytal, inhibitors of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. On the other hand, antimycin A, an inhibitor of complex III, enhanced TNF-alpha activation of NK-kappa B. These results suggest a key role of mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mediating NF-kappa B activation in muscle. In addition, we found that TNF-alpha stimulated protein kinase C (PKC) activity. However, other signal transduction mediators including ceramide, Ca2+, phospholipase A2 (PLA(2)), and nitric oxide (NO) do not appear to be involved in the activation of NF-kappa B. Antiox.
