Among mammalian heat shock proteins (Hsps), small Hsps (sHsps) are constitutively expressed in skeletal muscles. We investigated age-related changes of phosphorylation and cellular distribution of representative sHsps (Hsp27 and alphaB-crystallin) in human vastus lateralis muscle under resting conditions. We also examined upstream kinases which may be responsible for phosphorylation of sHsps, namely p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), MAPK-activated protein kinase-2, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2. The study groups consisted of nine young (15-38 years old) and nine aged (51-79 years old) patients who underwent orthopedic surgery. sHsps protein levels were higher in the insoluble fraction of aged muscles. The phosphorylated states of sHsps were enhanced in both the soluble and insoluble fraction of aged patients. The phosphorylated form of each upstream kinase was elevated in aged patients. Ubiquitinated proteins accumulated in the insoluble fractions of aged muscles. Aging mechanisms may affect the activation process of MAPKs, and the phosphorylation and accumulation of sHsps.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
