Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4: Transcriptomic patterns in MKO link modulated muscle proteostasis to fiber atrophy. (A) Gene expression changes in fed and fasted WT and MKO animals. A selection of Annotation Clusters indicates major predicted functional pathways that are altered only in the comparison of fed, in the overlap, and only in the comparison of fasted mice, respectively. (B) Gene expression comparison of the fasting response in WT and MKO mice. A selection of Annotation Clusters indicates major predicted functional pathways of physiological fasting that are dependent on muscle PGC-1b (WT only) and independent of muscle PGC-1b (overlap). The pathways found only in the comparison of MKO mice depict changes that arise de novo due to the absence of muscle PGC-1b in fasting. (C) Heatmaps of the relative expression of genes involved in protein synthesis and ribosome (left panel), and protein ubiquitination and proteasome (right panel). Colors represent the log2 fold change in gene expression compared to WT fed animals. (D) Gene expression of endogenous PGC-1b and PGC-1a relative to 18S in primary myotubes of WT mice treated with forskolin, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine 30,50-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP) or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) for 6 h (n ¼ 3). (E) Protein levels of overexpressed, epitope-tagged (HA) PGC-1b, endogenous p-CREBS133, endogenous CREB and endogenous eEF2 in primary myotubes of WT mice treated with forskolin for 6 h (n ¼ 3).
