Uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) is a highly expressed mitochondrial protein in muscle that regulates the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. Muscle-specific overexpression of UCP3 leads to increased mitochondrial inefficiency, resulting in a decrease in the ratio of ATP synthesis to mitochondrial oxidation.
Uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) is a mitochondrial transmembrane protein highly expressed in the muscle that has been implicated in regulating the efficiency of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Increasing UCP3 expression in skeletal muscle enhances proton leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane and increases oxygen consumption in isolated mitochondria, but its precise function in vivo has yet to be fully elucidated. To examine whether muscle-specific overexpression of UCP3 modulates muscle mitochondrial oxidation in vivo, rates of ATP synthesis were assessed by P-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and rates of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism were measured by assessing the rate of [2-C-13]acetate incorporation into muscle [4-C-13]-, [3-C-13]-glutamate, and [4-C-13]-glutamine by high-resolution C-13/H-1 MRS. Using this approach, we found that the overexpression of UCP3 in skeletal muscle was accompanied by increased muscle mitochondrial inefficiency in vivo as reflected by a 42% reduction in the ratio of ATP synthesis to mitochondrial oxidation.
