Padua Research Archive, l’archivio istituzionale della produzione scientifica dell’Università degli Studi di Padova, ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, conservare e pubblicare, anche ad accesso aperto, i prodotti della ricerca dell’Ateneo. Padua Research Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da Cineca.
EnglishSkeletal muscle mitochondria are placed in close proximity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the main intracellular Ca2 + store. During muscle activity, excitation of sarcolemma and of T-tubule triggers the release of Ca2 + from the SR initiating myofiber contraction. The rise in cytosolic Ca2 + determines the opening of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), the highly selective channel of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), causing a robust increase in mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake. The Ca2 +-dependent activation of TCA cycle enzymes increases the synthesis of ATP required for SERCA activity. Thus, Ca2 + is transported back into the SR and cytosolic [Ca2 +] returns to resting levels eventually leading to muscle relaxation. In recent years, thanks to the molecular identification of MCU complex components, the role of mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake in the pathophysiology of skeletal muscle has been uncovered. In this chapter, we will introduce the reader to a general overview of mitochondrial Ca2 + accumulation. We will tackle the key molecular players and the cellular and pathophysiological consequences of mitochondrial Ca2 + dyshomeostasis. In the second part of the chapter, we will discuss novel findings on the physiological role of mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake in skeletal muscle. Finally, we will examine the involvement of mitochondrial Ca2 + signaling in muscle diseases.

| Abstract: | Skeletal muscle mitochondria are placed in close proximity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the main intracellular Ca2 + store. During muscle activity, excitation of sarcolemma and of T-tubule triggers the release of Ca2 + from the SR initiating myofiber contraction. The rise in cytosolic Ca2 + determines the opening of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), the highly selective channel of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), causing a robust increase in mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake. The Ca2 +-dependent activation of TCA cycle enzymes increases the synthesis of ATP required for SERCA activity. Thus, Ca2 + is transported back into the SR and cytosolic [Ca2 +] returns to resting levels eventually leading to muscle relaxation. In recent years, thanks to the molecular identification of MCU complex components, the role of mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake in the pathophysiology of skeletal muscle has been uncovered. In this chapter, we will introduce the reader to a general overview of mitochondrial Ca2 + accumulation. We will tackle the key molecular players and the cellular and pathophysiological consequences of mitochondrial Ca2 + dyshomeostasis. In the second part of the chapter, we will discuss novel findings on the physiological role of mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake in skeletal muscle. Finally, we will examine the involvement of mitochondrial Ca2 + signaling in muscle diseases. | |
