Eight-week-old male Wister rats were used for each of two trials, one with 2 weeks, and another one with 4 weeks of immobilization with/without CPM. In each trial, rats were immobilized (immobilization group), and immobilized and simultaneously given CPM (CPM group). The soleus muscle of each rat was evaluated by gelatin zymography, western blotting, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemical staining. Gelatin zymography revealed a greater level of gelatinase activity in the extract of the muscles of the immobilization group than in those of the control and CPM group. The expressions of MMP-2 mRNA in the muscle extract of the immobilization group were also greater than those in the control and CPM group. Our results suggested that joint immobilization induces MMP-2 expression in muscles, resulting in muscular degeneration, and that CPM can prevent these changes., 保健学研究. 2006, 19(1), p. 7-11}, pages = {7--11}, title = {廃用性萎縮筋におけるタンパク分解酵素発現の持続的他動運動による抑制}, volume = {19}, year = {2006} }
