Abstract
Wfs1 deficiency leads to a progressive loss of plasma insulin concentration, which should reduce the consumption of glucose in insulin-dependent tissues, causing a variety of changes in intracellular energy metabolism. Our objective here was to assess the changes in the amount and function of mitochondrial proteins in different muscles of Wfs1-deficient mice. Mitochondrial functions were assayed by high-resolution oxygraphy of permeabilized muscle fibers; the protein amount was evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis and mRNA levels of the uncoupler proteins UCP2 and UCP3 by real-time PCR; and citrate synthase (CS) activity was determined spectrophotometrically in muscle homogenates. Compared to controls, there were no changes in proton leak and citrate synthase activity in the heart and <i>m. soleus</i> tissues of Wfs1-deficient mice, but significantly higher levels of both of these factors were observed in the <i>m. rectus femoris</i>; mitochondrial proteins and mRNA of UCP2 were also higher in the <i>m. rectus femoris</i>. ADP-stimulated state 3 respiration was lower in the <i>m. soleus</i>, remained unchanged in the heart, and was higher in the <i>m. rectus femoris</i>. The mitochondrial protein amount and activity are higher in Wfs1-deficient mice, as are mitochondrial proton leak and oxygen consumption in <i>m. rectus femoris</i>. These changes in muscle metabolism may be important for identifying the mechanisms responsible for Wolfram syndrome and diabetes.
