PG - C895-902 LID - 10.1152/ajpcell.00387.2010 [doi] AB - In this study, the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on protein synthesis (PS) and intracellular signaling factors that regulate it have been investigated in C2C12 murine-derived myotubes. In particular, the role of Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) [p38 and extracelluar regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2)] have been examined. The direct effect of LPS on PS was measured at 3 and 18 h. LPS significantly decreased PS at 3 h but not at the 18-h time point. This effect was preceded by decreased Akt phosphorylation at 5 and 30 min after LPS administration. The mTOR phosphorylation exhibited a long time dose-dependent increase at all the time points. Similarly, the activity-related phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 significantly increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner at all the time points. Polymyxin B abolished the LPS-induced decrease in PS rate. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY-0294002 in combination with LPS significantly decreased the rate of PS by 81% and alone by 66%, respectively, for the 3- and 18-h time points, whereas p38 and ERK inhibitors in combination with LPS significantly decreased the rate PS rate at the 18-h time point by 41% and 59%, respectively, compared with control cells. In conclusion, LPS alone transiently decreased the rate of PS by 50% at 3 h; this effect is most likely mediated via the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-Akt/mTOR pathway, and both p38 and ERK when inhibited in the presence of LPS at 3 h have a similar effect in preventing the LPS-induced reduction in PS.
