| Abstract | In order to explore the potential role of the sarcoplasmic–endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-type pumps and of their modulators phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN) in the functional alterations of the diaphragm induced by corticosteroid treatment, expression of SERCA, PLB and SLN was assessed by RT-PCR in the diaphragm of rats treated daily for 5 days either with triamcinolone (80 mg kg−1, n = 8) or with saline (control; 0·6 ml, n = 8). Triamcinolone treatment reduced the normalised overall amount of all SERCA mRNA in diaphragm by 70 % compared to controls (P < 0·05). This reduction was accounted for by a relatively larger decrease in the SERCA1 mRNA (-69 %, P < 0·05) whilst the decrease in SERCA2 mRNA (-49 %, P = 0·09) did not reach statistical significance. As a result the relative proportion of SERCA2 mRNA was increased from 43 ± 7 % in control diaphragm to 52 ± 4 % after triamcinolone treatment (P < 0·05). Only the adult isoform of SERCA1 (i.e. SERCA1a) mRNA was found in the diaphragm of the 15-week-old control rats. Furthermore, triamcinolone treatment resulted in reduced levels of SERCA2a (-40 %, P < 0·05) and increased levels of SLN mRNA (+100 %, P < 0·05), while the decrease in PLB mRNA (-31 %, P = 0·277) did not reach statistical significance. SERCA1b, SERCA2b and SERCA3 mRNA levels fell below the detection limit in the diaphragm of both control and triamcinolone-treated rats. Compared to control diaphragm, control rat heart showed a relatively high PLB/(SERCA1 + SERCA2) mRNA ratio of 7·88 while this ratio amounted only to 0·16 in control extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. Remarkably, the SLN/(SERCA1 + SERCA2) mRNA ratio in normal cardiac muscle (0·96) was nearly the same as in diaphragm, but in EDL it amounted to only 0·05 that in diaphragm. This indicates the very low expression of SLN in rat EDL. These data reveal that considerable alterations in SERCA mRNA levels accompany the functional changes seen in diaphragm after corticosteroid treatment. The relatively larger decrease in SERCA1 mRNA is in agreement with the selective type II fibre atrophy previously observed in the diaphragm of triamcinolone-treated rats, but the magnitude of SERCA alterations is more pronounced than expected on the basis of the structural changes in the diaphragm. The increase in SLN mRNA levels may represent a compensatory mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
