Project description:We identified genes expressed in mouse skeletal muscle, during the process of muscle regeneration after injury, which are dysregulated in the absence of Mef2a expression. MEF2A is a member of the evolutionarily conserved MEF2 transcription factor family which has known roles in cardiac muscle development and function, but is not well studied in skeletal muscle. We performed a comparison of gene expression profiles in wild type and MEF2A knockout tibialis anterior muscle, seven days post-injury with cardiotoxin. The results indicated that a variety of genes expressed during muscle regeneration, predominantly microRNAs in the Gtl2-Dio3 locus, are dysregulated by the loss of MEF2A expression. Skeletal muscle RNA used in the present study included the following two sample groups: (WT) pooled total RNA from tibialis anterior muscle taken from 5 wild type mice at seven days post-injury with 10uM cardiotoxin; (KO) pooled total RNA from tibialis anterior muscle taken from 5 Mef2a knockout mice at seven days post-injury with 10uM cardiotoxin. All mice were between 2-4 months of age. Both male and female mice were used.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and oxidative stress are two related phenomena that have important metabolic consequences. As many skeletal muscle diseases are triggered by oxidative stress, we explored the chain of events linking a hyper oxidized ER (which causes ER and oxidative stress) with skeletal muscle dysfunction. Using exon expression arrays we show that the combined genetic modulation of the two master ER redox proteins, selenoprotein N (SEPN1) and endoplasmic oxidoreductin 1 (ERO1), leads to an SEPN1-related myopathic phenotype due to excessive signalling of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta. One-month-old WT and SEPN1 KO mice were intramuscularly injected with AAV2/1-ERO1a (an adeno-associated virus driving ERO1a) in three sites of the right gastrocnemius muscle and vehicle alone was injected into the contralateral muscle. The animals were sacrificed four-six weeks after injection and total RNA was isolated from muscle tissues using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Genechip Mouse Gene 2.1 ST arrays (Affymetrix) were used for whole genome gene-expression analysis of duplicated samples derived from WT and SEPN1 KO mice in presence of either ERO1 or PBS.

Project description:Dysferlin is an essential muscle membrane repair protein and autosomal recessive mutations in its gene result in progressive muscular dystrophies collectively called dysferlinopathies. We previously showed that calpain-mediated cleavage within dysferlin exon 40a releases a 72kDa C-terminal minidysferlin recruited to injured sarcolemma. In the current study, we hypothesised that knocking out exon 40a will lead to defective membrane repair and development of muscular dystrophy over time. To address this hypothesis, we created three exon 40a knockout (40aKO) mouse lines with dysferlin protein levels ranging from ~80% of wildtype (WT) in 40aKO-3, ~50% in 40aKO-2 and ~10-20% in 40aKO-1 mice. Histopathological analysis of skeletal muscles harvested from all 12-month-old 40aKO mice showed little evidence of dystrophic features seen in dysferlin-null BLAJ mice. Lipidomics analysis on 18wk old quadriceps showed that all 40aKO lines had a similar lipidomic profile to WT and distinct from BLAJs. The proteomic profile of 40aKO lines was intermediate between that of WT and BLAJs. Laser membrane damage assays showed normal membrane repair capacity in all three 40aKO lines. These results collectively indicate that ~10-20% of dysferlin protein expression is sufficient for maintenance of the lipidome and membrane repair capacity, and crucially prevents development of muscular dystrophy.

Project description:Liver X receptors (LXRs) are important regulators of cholesterol, lipid and glucose metabolism and have been extensively studied in liver, macrophages and adipose tissue. However, their role in skeletal muscle is not yet fully elucidated and the functional role of each of the LXRM-NM-1 and LXRM-NM-2 subtypes in skeletal muscle is at present unknown. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRM-NM-1 and LXRM-NM-2 knockout (KO) mice were established. The present study shows that treatment with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317 increased mRNA levels of LXR target genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in myotubes established from WT and LXRM-NM-1 KO mice. However, only minor changes in expression level were observed for these genes after treatment with T0901317 in myotubes from LXRM-NM-2 KO mice. Gene expression analysis using Affymetrix NuGO Genechip arrays showed that few other genes than the classical, well known LXR target genes were regulated by LXR in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, functional studies using radiolabeled substrates showed that treatment with T0901317 increased lipogenesis and apoA1 dependent cholesterol efflux, in myotubes from WT and LXRM-NM-1 KO mice, but not LXRM-NM-2 KO mice. The data suggest that the lipogenic effects of LXRs, as well as the LXR-stimulated cholesterol efflux, are mainly mediated by LXRM-NM-2 in skeletal muscle. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRa and LXRb knockout (KO) mice were established. Sixteen samples were examined. Half the samples were treated with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317.

Project description:Over-expression of wild type PrP in skeletal muscles is sufficient to cause a primary myopathy with no signs of peripheral neuropathy, possibly due to accumulation of a cytotoxic truncated form of PrP and/or PrP aggregation. In this study we used DNA microarrays to identify 1499 transcripts that are temporally deregulated concomitant with inducible PrPC over-expression in the skeletal muscles of transgenic mice. Examination using microarrays revealed a transcriptional profile with both similarities and differences to previously investigated models of myopathies. Down-regulation of genes coding for the myofibrillar proteins MYH2, MYH6, MYH7, MYL2, MYL3 and up-regulation of lysosomal genes CTSS, CTSD, CTSZ, DPEP2, HEXA, HEXB and LAMP1 coincide with the observed myopathy and lysosome accumulation on over-expression of PrPC. Down-regulation of the MEF2C gene, a key regulatory transcriptional factor muscle development and remodeling of adult muscles in response to physiologic and pathologic signals, may contribute to the centrally placed nuclei in the skeletal muscles. Significantly, up-regulation of genes involved in p53 signaling and the induction of p53 protein, suggest a central role for this molecule in the myopathy. Several p53-regulated genes involved in cell cycle arrest (CDNK1A, GADD45a and GADD45b) and apoptosis (BAK1, PMAIP1, BBC3, and BAX) are induced. We suggest that PrPC over-expression in skeletal muscles, possibly in response to accumulation of a cytotoxic truncated form of PrP, causes a primary myopathy involving the induction of p53-dependent pathways. Wild type (WT), PrP-null (KO), and Tg(HQK) mice were fed food pellets either lacking or containing 6g doxycycline (Dox)/kg food to induce PrPC expression. Skeletal muscles from the quadriceps of hind legs were removed at day 0, 4, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days following administration of Dox. Total RNA was isolated from these tissues for use in subsequent microarray analysis. Mouse gene expression was analysed by two-colour microarray experiments using an inhouse manufactured 16K mouse cDNA microarray. Age matched reference mice (WT) and experimental (KO and HQK) Alexa Flour labeled aRNA were used in each competitive hybridization. Each sample was labeled individually with both Alexa Fluor 555 and 647 for subsequent dye-swapped hybridizations to account for intensity bias. 3 individual mice from each experimental group at each time point were individually processed for separate microarrays. We used the program EDGE to identify genes that were differentially expressed in mouse skeletal muscle in either transgenic HQK mice over expressing PrP, or PrP knock out (KO) mice after administration of Dox. We used a P value cut-off of 0.05 as the criteria of selection of significantly differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Background: Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPDA), a disease caused by mutations in acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), involves severe neurodegeneration and early death. Intracellular lipid accumulation and plasma membrane alterations are implicated in the pathology. ASM is also linked to the mechanism of plasma membrane repair, so we investigated the impact of ASM deficiency in skeletal muscle, a tissue that undergoes frequent cycles of injury and repair in vivo. Methods: Utilizing the NPDA/B mouse model ASM−/− and wild type (WT) littermates, we performed excitation- contraction coupling/Ca2+ mobilization and sarcolemma injury/repair assays with isolated flexor digitorum brevis fibers, proteomic analyses with quadriceps femoris, flexor digitorum brevis, and tibialis posterior muscle and in vivo tests of the contractile force (maximal isometric torque) of the quadriceps femoris muscle before and after eccentric contraction-induced muscle injury. Results: ASM−/− flexor digitorum brevis fibers showed impaired excitation-contraction coupling compared to WT, a defect expressed as reduced tetanic [Ca2+]i in response to electrical stimulation and early failure in sustaining [Ca2+]i during repeated tetanic contractions. When injured mechanically by needle passage, ASM−/− flexor digitorum brevis fibers showed susceptibility to injury similar to WT, but a reduced ability to reseal the sarcolemma. Proteomic analyses revealed changes in a small group of skeletal muscle proteins as a consequence of ASM deficiency, with downregulation of calsequestrin occurring in the three different muscles analyzed. In vivo, the loss in maximal isometric torque of WT quadriceps femoris was similar immediately after and 2 min after injury. The loss in ASM−/− mice immediately after injury was similar to WT, but was markedly larger at 2 min after injury. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle fibers from ASM−/− mice have an impairment in intracellular Ca2+ handling that results in reduced Ca2+ mobilization and a more rapid decline in peak Ca2+ transients during repeated contraction-relaxation cycles. Isolated fibers show reduced ability to repair damage to the sarcolemma, and this is associated with an exaggerated deficit in force during recovery from an in vivo eccentric contraction- induced muscle injury. Our findings uncover the possibility that skeletal muscle functional defects may play a role in the pathology of NPDA/B disease.
