Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later modulated by neural and hormonal factors. The relative proportion of the different fiber types varies strikingly between species, and in humans shows significant variability between individuals. Myosin heavy chain isoforms, whose complete inventory and expression pattern are now available, provide a useful marker for…

Chapter 60 – Skeletal Muscle Fiber Types
Basics of Skeletal Muscle Function and Normal Physiology
Mechanisms modulating skeletal muscle phenotype.
TLDR
While myonuclei are in postmitotic state, satellite cells represent a reserve of new nuclei and can be involved in the adaptive response and may ultimately lead to changes in fiber size and fiber type.
Skeletal muscle fiber type: using insights from muscle developmental biology to dissect targets for susceptibility and resistance to muscle disease
  • J. Talbot, L. Maves

TLDR
These findings suggest that some muscle diseases may be treated by shifting fiber type characteristics either from slow to fast, or fast to slow phenotypes, depending on the disease.
Transitional Hybrid Skeletal Muscle Fibers in Rat Soleus Development
TLDR
It is found that transitioning fibers progressively incorporate new myofibrils containing type I myosin into existing type IIA fibers, which appear to represent the functional unit that is exchanged during fiber type transitions that occur as part of normal muscle development.
Transcriptional regulation and alternative splicing cooperate in muscle fiber-type specification in flies and mammals
Factors involved in signal transduction during vertebrate myogenesis.
Advanced Fiber Type-Specific Protein Profiles Derived from Adult Murine Skeletal Muscle
TLDR
A protocol was established in which myosin heavy chain isoform immunolabeled muscle fibers were laser microdissected and separately investigated by mass spectrometry to develop advanced proteomic profiles of all murine skeletal muscle fiber types, revealing unique fiber type protein profiles.
Pluripotent stem cell-derived skeletal muscle fibers preferentially express myosin heavy-chain isoforms associated with slow and oxidative muscles
TLDR
Investigation of the fiber type composition of mouse PSC-derived myofibers upon their transplantation into dystrophic and non-dystrophic mice reveals that slow and oxidative myosin heavy-chain isoforms are expressed, along with developmental myosins, regardless of the recipient background.
Single Muscle Fiber Proteomics Reveals Distinct Protein Changes in Slow and Fast Fibers during Muscle Atrophy.
TLDR
Novel insight is provided into how different muscle fiber types remodel their proteomes during muscular atrophy by observing fiber-type-specific regulation of proteins involved in calcium ion binding and transport, indicating marked remodeling of muscle contractility after denervation.

Myosin isoforms, muscle fiber types, and transitions
TLDR
The fiber population of skeletal muscles encompasses a continuum of pure and hybrid fiber types, and under certain conditions, changes can be induced in MHC isoform expression heading in the direction of either fast‐to‐slow or slow‐ to‐fast.
Mammalian skeletal muscle fiber type transitions.
Differential expression of muscle regulatory factor genes in normal and denervated adult rat hindlimb muscles
TLDR
Examination of the expression patterns of four basic/helix‐loop‐helix muscle regulatory factors (MRFs) in normal adult rat muscles suggest that myogenin, as well as the other three MRFs, may be involved in both the initial establishment aswell as maintenance of fiber‐type diversity in the developing organism.
Phenotype of adult mouse muscle myoblasts reflects their fiber type of origin.
TLDR
A population of satellite cells that form myotubes expressing type I (slow) myosin heavy chain is identified and found to be preferentially associated with individual slow muscle-fibers, confirming diversity among mammalian satellite cells and demonstrating that the phenotype ofatellite cells is indicative of the type of fiber from which they derive.
Human single masseter muscle fibers contain unique combinations of myosin and myosin binding protein C isoforms
TLDR
A unique myofibrillar protein isoform expression was observed in the human masseter muscle fibers, suggesting significant differences in structural and functional properties between muscle fibers from humanmasseter and limb muscles.
Myosin expression and specialization among the earliest muscle fibers of the developing avian limb.
Single-fiber myosin heavy-chain isoform composition of rodent laryngeal muscle: modulation by thyroid hormone.
TLDR
The findings of this study support the concept that single-fiber MyHC polymorphism occurs commonly in mammalian laryngeal muscle.
Muscles of a different 'color'
TLDR
The characteristics of small motor unit size, precise dependence of muscle force upon motor neuron discharge rate, high contractile speed but low tension development, and contractile protein heterogeneity contribute toward the high precision and diversity that is required for eye movements.
Isoform switching in myofibrillar and excitation-contraction coupling proteins contributes to diminished contractile function in regenerating rat soleus muscle.
TLDR
It is indicated that the expression of developmental proteins determines the incomplete functional recovery of regenerating soleus, particularly at the single-fiber level.
Microgenomic Analysis in Skeletal Muscle: Expression Signatures of Individual Fast and Slow Myofibers
TLDR
A first catalogue of genes expressed in mouse slow-oxidative and fast-glycolytic fibers through transcriptome analysis at the single fiber level (microgenomics) is produced, allowing a better understanding of the adaptive transcriptomic transitions occurring in myofibers under physiological and pathological conditions.
