McPherron etc. have found a kind of negative regulatory factor that plays an important role in the muscle growth process when the research amyotrophy, result of study is after delivering on the Nature magazine, the author with this factor be named as myostatin (myostatin, MSTN).This discovery has caused correlative study personnel's very big interest, has many scholars to carry out deep research to the molecular mechanism of MSTN effect and with amyotrophy diseases associated mechanism subsequently.On clinical medicine, sports medical science and agricultural, the research of MSTN also there are many progress.According to its constructional feature, MSTN has been classified as growth and differentiation factor-8 (growth differentiation factor 8, GDF-8), (member in the superfamily of transforming growth factor-β) plays crucial down regulation in the growth of skeletal muscle to belong to TGF-β.MSTN suppresses the important cytokine that Skeletal Muscle Growth is grown, and belongs to the paracrine or the autocrine factor, secretes outside the born of the same parents after being expressed by Skeletal Muscle Cell, acts on self myocyte or Skeletal Muscle Cell on every side, suppresses myocyte's growth.Body MSTN genetic expression under standard state keeps very low level, makes muscle growth be in an equilibrium state.This transgenation or the animal that knocks out, muscle growth loses inhibition, the skeletal muscle muscle group obviously increases, show as the extraordinary prosperity of whole body skeletal muscle, as the mouse of MSTN gene knockout, skeletal muscle muscle has increased 2-3 doubly, and Belgian blue ox is because sudden change has taken place the MSTN gene, cause disinthibiting of its Skeletal Muscle Growth, shown as the improved seeds of high yield meat.And in some amyotrophic organisms, this expression of gene level then significantly raises.Body is in the state that does not move for a long time, also can cause the rise that MSTN expresses, and causes the atrophy of muscle.There is in various degree raising in the patient of many long-term beds or nutrient consumption disease as intravital MSTN levels such as AIDS VICTIMSs.Often be in the people of physical activity state, its intravital MSTN level is lower than the level in the long-term not movement human.
376 amino acid of MSTN total length, after the Skeletal Muscle Cell expression, become two fragments at the 267th amino acids place by protease cracking, the N end parts claims propeptide (myostatin propetide, be called for short the M propetide), the C end fragment is the active region of MSTN, and two C end molecules combine with non-covalent form by dimer of disulfide linkage formation and with the M propetide, and C holds in conjunction with not showing biologic activity behind the M propetide.The C fragment with enter into body fluid after the M propetide combines, subsequently by the aspartic acid place cracking of metalloprotease at the 76th, this moment, the C end just showed the biologic activity that suppresses muscle growth in conjunction with the segmental M propetide of C.This moment is if there is a large amount of M propetides to have the activity that will continue to suppress the C section.
Motion exercise can lower the expression of MSTN in the body, reduces the inhibition of MSTN to Skeletal Muscle Growth, promotes the growth of muscle then indirectly, shows as flourishing skeletal muscle.Have and experimental results show that: suppress the activity of MSTN in the body, can promote myoblastic division and breeding,, the M propetide is constantly combined with the C section, just can suppress the activity of MSTN, but used amount is bigger as giving injection M propetide in the experimental animals.Other has the investigator to adopt the antibody of anti-MSTN and external experimental research has been carried out in the effect that suppresses MSTN at the RNAi of MSTN, thinks that the two all has the activity that suppresses MSTN.But antibody belongs to heterologous protein, and use can cause transformation reactions in vivo.In the cell experiment of vitro culture, RNAi enters cell by transfection, just can't enter cell by transfection in vivo, though there are some retroviral vectors to bring RNAi into cell, but still have potential safety hazard.
