MitoEAGLE data: muscle

WG2

MITOEAGLE data repository in muscle and other tissues

WG2 Description

During the past 10 years, a dramatically increasing number of studies report respirometric data on human muscle tissue (e.g. Christiansen 2015 Am J Physiol). Muscle mitochondrial function is particularly studied in genetically engineered mouse models of human diseases (e.g. Jelenik 2014 Diabetes). However, despite the many published data, lack of consistency often precludes quantitative comparison among data sets with permeabilized or homogenized muscle fibres or isolated mitochondria, normalized to either tissue wet weight, dry weight, protein content, citrate synthase activity or other mitochondrial markers. In the absence of validated conversion factors, these data remain largely unconnected and can only be qualitatively linked.

The aim of WG2 will be to provide access to complete data sets for post-study statistical analysis and use harmonization tools (WG1) for standardized documentation, to initiate a data repository on muscle tissue from humans and model organisms in health and disease. Data sets shall be obtained from already published and new studies, prompting participating labs to report experimental details beyond those already published as far as possible (using tools such as PubMed Commons). As a result, specific protocols will be summarized for handling muscle tissue. Depending on specific interests, WG2 may decide to extend their focus to other tissue types.

WG2 Feedback

1. Skeletal muscle is the main tissue we are studying in the lab. - Beatrice Chabi (2016).
2. For the kind of work group, our expertise is certainly most on muscle tissue (skeletal and heart), although we also worked on all kinds of permeabilized cells (primary cells and cell lines). For all these, we have extended data sets, mainly rat, but also human, from diverse experimental setups (nutritional regimen, exercise, drugs ...). - Uwe Schlattner (2016).
3. I would fit rather in WG1, as myself I am not involved in human muscle fat or blood. However, in our team we made a study involving human liver samples. - Frédéric Bouillaud (2016).
4. In my working group we are mainly interested in muscle, especially focusing on aging and sarcopenia (using animal models). I would be happy if new cooperations could be formed through the COST Action. I could imagine working on a joint review article. Next to examining muscle from mouse models, we are studying biopsies from human heart muscle and liver, but there is no published data on these studies yet. - Susanne Klaus (2016). Translated by Sandra Fleischmann
5. I am very interested in being part of the management committee either as a MC member for managment tasks or in working group 4 MITOEAGLE data repository for blood cells and cultured cells. I have experience in analyzing mitochondrial function in different human tissues as cultured cells and blood cells (also subsets of specific blood populations, see list of publications), muscle and isolated mitochondria. This together with my experience in organizing summer schools and conferences could be helpful as MC member taking care of management tasks. However, if you think my expertise is more helpful in working group 4, I am looking forward to support this working group. - Kathrin Renner-Sattler (2016).
6. I am working in the field of mitochondrial biochemistry since many years. In detail my coworkers and I are carrying out studies on the regulation of ATP synthase and respiratory complexes in swine heart mitochondria as biological model of mammalian mitochondria. Some comparative aspects of mitochondrial bioenergetics and ATP synthase responses are also investigated in bivalve mollusk mitochondria. - Alessandra Pagliarani (2016).
