Agastache rugosa Extract Combined With Voluntary Wheel Exercise Affects the Improvement of Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis in Aged C57BL/6J Mice
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of Agastache rugosa (AR) combined with wheel running exercise on maintaining muscle homeostasis in aged skeletal muscle. METHODS: Male 38-week-old C57BL/6J mice were divided into five groups (n = 8/group): control (CON), Low-dose AR-...

description | OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of Agastache rugosa (AR) combined with wheel running exercise on maintaining muscle homeostasis in aged skeletal muscle. METHODS: Male 38-week-old C57BL/6J mice were divided into five groups (n = 8/group): control (CON), Low-dose AR-treated (ARL, 100 mg/kg/day), High-dose AR-treated (ARH, 200 mg/kg/day), exercise (EXC), and EXC + ARH (EXH) group. After 2 weeks of acclimation period, AR-treated groups were fed AR extract by oral administration for 4 weeks. The daily voluntary wheel running (VWR) distance was recorded using a counter machine. In the gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle sample, muscle homeostasis-related genes and protein were analyzed by qPCR and western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: The weight of GAS in ARH and EXH increased significantly, compared to CON (p < 0.05). qPCR analysis showed that AR and exercise affected both oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers. mRNA levels of Myh7 and Myh1 in EXH were remarkably higher than in CON (p < 0.05). Skeletal muscle atrophy (Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1) and hypertrophy (myogenin) related genes were up-regulated in EXC compared to CON (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, EXH dramatically down-regulated Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 and up-regulated <> (p < 0.05). Western blotting analysis indicated that the hypertrophy-related protein p70S6 showed high levels in both exercise groups, but there was no statistically significant difference. In contrast, atrophy-related protein FOXO3a and MuRF-1 levels were remarkably lower in the EXC and EXH (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, this study demonstrated that AR with VWR exercise enhanced muscle homeostasis via regulation of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation markers in aged hind-limb muscles. In conclusion, AR could be a promising candidate for maintaining muscle homeostasis and further alleviating sarcopenia.
