Of the many cellular and molecular hallmarks that are broadly associated with physiological decline during aging (Leopez-Oteın et al., 2013), loss of muscular strength in vertebrates is particularly problematic because in humans it is a better predictor of morbidity and mortality than loss of muscle mass (Newman et al., 2006). Human cohort studies indicate that with both aging and disease, muscular strength is lost more rapidly than muscle mass (Goodpaster et al., 2006). The mechanistic changes that underlie age-related loss of muscular strength, however, have been more elusive to identify than the mechanisms of age-related sarcopenia. Age-induced loss of muscular strength has been a topic of sustained debate. Despite a number of plausible hypotheses and clever experimental designs, these earlier studies were unable to dissect the primary mechanism (s) responsible for the reduction in specific force (when the force is normalized to the cross-sectional area) with aging (Phillips et al., 1993; Brooks & Faulkner, 1994; Faulkner et al., 2007). More recently, the Delbono group demonstrated that decreased expression of the voltage sensor Ca2+ channel a1 subunit (Cav1. 1)—also known as the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) in the skeletal muscle excitation–contraction coupling literature—is associated with the loss of skeletal muscle strength with aging (Delbono et al., 2007; Taylor et al., 2009). They also showed that Cav1. 1 expression levels can be regulated by different mechanisms, which are not related to gene transcription or mRNA expression (Delbono et al., 2007; Taylor et al., 2009). In the paper ‘Calpain inhibition rescues troponin T3 fragmentation, increases Cav1. 1, and enhances skeletal muscle force in aging sedentary mice’, Zhang et al. report a novel finding that TnT3 regulates Cav1. 1 expression in skeletal muscle fibers and that calpain-mediated fragmentation of TnT3 is associated with Cav1. 1 downregulation in old mice (Zhang et al., 2016). Delbono and colleagues have described how the age-induced decrease in Cav1. 1 levels leads to uncoupling of the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1), which potentially decreases the amount of activating Ca2+ released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum during contraction (Fig. 1)(Delbono, 2011; Hernandez-Ochoa et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2015). The coupling between Cav1. 1 in the sarcolemma and RyR1 in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane has also been recently shown to be modulated by protein Stac3, a novel mechanism for the modulation of excitation–contraction that does not involve changes in the cellular level of Cav1. 1 (Polster et al., 2016). Importantly, Zhang et al. also report that calpain-mediated TnT3 fragmentation and related downregulation of
