Proteomic profile of mice skeletal muscle exposed to 2-day (2 H) and 10-day (10 H) hypoxia. Histograms of skeletal muscle metabolic changes in 2 H (grey bars) and 10 H (black bars) as detected by 2D-DIGE analysis (ANOVA coupled to Tukey’s multiple-group comparison test, n = 5, p < 0.01). Protein spots statistically altered are reported with the corresponding gene name and the degree of variation is expressed as a percent of spot volume variation in hypoxic mice versus controls. (A) Metabolic proteins grouped according to their function: energy transfer enzymes (Ckm, creatine kinase),glycogen metabolism enzymes (Pygm, glycogen phosphorylase; Pgm2, phosphoglucomutase), glycolytic enzymes (Eno3, enolase; Pkm, pyruvate kinase), TCA cycle/OXPHOS enzymes (Aco2, aconitate hydratase; Idh3a, isocitrate dehydrogenase 3; Ogdh, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase; Dld dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase; Sdha, succinate dehydrogenase flavoprotein; Ndufs1, NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) Fe-S protein 1; Atp5b, ATP synthase subunit beta; Mdh1, cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase). (B) Structural/contractile (Des, desmin; Vim, vimentin; Tubb4b, tubulin beta-2C chain; Myh4, myosin-4; Mybph, myosin-binding protein H; Tnnt3, troponin T fast; Tpm2, tropomyosin beta chain; Myl1, myosin light chain 1/3, skeletal muscle isoform (MLC 1F); Myl3, myosin light chain 3 (MLC 1 sb)), stress response (P4hb, protein disulfide-isomerase; Pdia3, protein disulfide-isomerase A3; Trim72, tripartite motif-containing protein 72; Hspa8, heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein; Hsp90ab1, heat shock protein 84b; Park7, protein DJ-1) and other proteins (Ca3, Carbonic anhydrase 3; Mb, myoglobin; Pvalb, parvalbumin alpha; Tufm, elongation factor Tu, mitochondrial; Immt, Immt protein; Fgb, fibrinogen beta chain; Fgg, fibrinogen gamma chain; Tf, serotransferrin; Alb, serum albumin).
