IntroductionSarcopenia is a complication of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that negatively affects physical activity and quality of life. However, the underlying mechanism by which COPD affects skeletal muscles remains to be elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the association between oxidative stress and structural alterations in muscles in elastase-induced emphysema mouse models.Materials and methodsTwelve-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were treated with either intratracheal porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) dissolved in saline, or saline alone. The mice were euthanized 12 weeks after treatment, and the lungs and limb muscles were used for protein analysis of oxidative stress, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling pathway and muscle atrophy signaling pathway related with oxidative stress. Furthermore, C57BL/6J mice treated with PPE or saline were analyzed for the effects of oral administration of astaxanthin or p38 inhibitor.ResultsThe weight of the soleus muscle, proportion of type I muscle fibers, and cross-sectional areas of muscle fibers in the PPE group were lower than those in the control group. Oxidative stress marker levels in the PPE group were elevated in skeletal muscles. The p38 MAPK signaling pathway was activated in the soleus muscles, leading to the activation of the ubiquitin–proteasome system and autophagy. Astaxanthin and p38 inhibitors attenuated alterations in muscle structure through the deactivation of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.ConclusionsThis study provides first evidence in COPD mouse model that oxidative stress trigger a series of muscle structural changes. Our findings suggest a novel target for sarcopenia in COPD.
