Project description:ATF4 is a fasting-induced trascription factor that promotes skeletal muscle atrophy. The goal of these studies was to determine how of loss of ATF4 affects skeletal muscle mRNA expression. For additional details see Ebert et al, Stress-Induced Skeletal Muscle Gadd45a Expression Reprograms Myonuclei and Causes Muscle Atrophy. JBC epub. June 12, 2012. Muscle-specfic ATF4 knockout (ATF4 mKO) mice and littermate controls were fasted for 24 hours and then tibialis anterior muscles were harvested. mRNA levels in ATF4 mKO muscles were normalized to levels in littermate control muscles.

Project description:The goal of these studies was to determine the effects of fasting on skeletal muscle mRNA levels in healthy human subjects. Seven healthy adult human subjects fasted for 40 hours and then a muscle biopsy (fasting sample) was obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle. Immediately after the first muscle biospy, subjects then ate a mixed meal. Six hours after the first muscle biopsy, a second muscle biopsy (fed sample) was obtained from the contralateral vastus lateralis muscle. In each subject, mRNA levels under fasting conditions were normalized to mRNA levels under fed conditions, which were set at 1.

Project description:In skeletal muscle, the pattern of electrical activity regulates the expression of proteins involved in synaptic transmission, contraction and metabolism. Disruptions in electrical activity, resulting from prolonged bed-rest, cast-immobilization or trauma, inevitably lead to muscle atrophy. The mechanisms that regulate muscle atrophy are poorly understood, but it seems likely that changes in gene expression play a key role in initiating and maintaining a muscle atrophy program. Previously, we found that Runx1, a transcription factor previously termed AML1, was substantially induced in muscle following denervation. More recently, we sought to determine whether this increase in Runx1 expression may be causally related to the morphological changes in skeletal muscle that accompany muscle disuse, notably muscle atrophy. We found that Runx1 is indeed required to sustain muscle and to minimize atrophy following denervation. Experiments described here are designed to identify the genes that are regulated by Runx1 in skeletal muscle with the particular goal of identifying genes that regulate muscle atrophy. We propose to use microarray analysis to identify genes, expressed in skeletal muscle, that are mis-regulated in mice lacking Runx1. We inactivated runx1 selectively in skeletal muscle and found that denervated myofibers in mutant mice atrophy far more (90% atrophy) than in wild-type mice (30% atrophy). We therefore reason that Runx1 activates and/or represses genes that are required to sustain muscle and to minimize atrophy. We generated MCK::cre; runx1f/- and runx1f/- control mice. In normal mice, an increase in runx1 expression is detected by two days after denervation and is maximal by five days after denervation. Muscle atrophy is first evident between one and two weeks after denervation. As we wish to avoid detecting global changes in gene expression that are associated with late stages of muscle atrophy, we plan to denervate muscle for three or five days and to compare gene expression in dissected innervated and denervated muscles from mutant and control mice. We will generate thirty samples for comparison-5 replicates per condition: Samples 1-3 from runx1f/- control mice. (1) innervated tibialis anterior muscles (TA); (2) 3-day-denervated TA; (3) 5-day-denervated TA. Samples 4-6 from MCK::cre; runx1f/- mice. (4) innervated TA; (5) 3-day-denervated TA; (6) 5-day-denervated TA. We obtain sufficient total RNA (10 micrograms) from each dissected muscle to avoid pooling samples. We will analyze adult mice of the same age (~six weeks after birth; most will be littermates) and sex-male. It is difficult to anticipate how many genes will be identified in this screen, as few target genes for Runx1 have been identified in any cell type and none in skeletal muscle. Moreover, although we would prefer to focus our attention on genes that are strongly dependent upon Runx1 expression (e.g. more than 5-fold difference in expression in wild-type and mutant mice), we do not know the extent to which target gene expression will depend upon Runx1. For these reasons, in these experiments, we will analyze expression from five âidenticalâ samples, so that we can be confident that even small (e.g. three-fold) differences in expression can be reliably determined. Importantly, in order to confirm results obtained from the microarray data, we will use other assays (RNase protection) to measure RNA expression of candidate genes in innervated and denervated muscles of wild-type and mutant mice.

Project description:We investigated the short and long term effects of electrically induced exercise on mRNA expression of human paralyzed muscle. We developed an exercise dose that activated the muscle for 0.6% of the day. The short term effects were assessed 3 hours after a single dose of exercise, while the long term effects were assessed after training 5 days per week for at least one year (adherence 81%). A single dose of electrical stimulation increased the mRNA expression of transcriptional, translational, and enzyme regulators of metabolism important to shift muscle toward an oxidative phenotype (PGC-1a, NR4A3, IFRD1, ABRA, PDK4). However, chronic training increased the mRNA expression of specific metabolic pathway genes (BRP44, BRP44L, SDHB, ACADVL), mitochondrial fission and fusion genes (MFF, MFN1, MFN2), and slow muscle fiber genes (MYH6, MYH7, MYL3, MYL2).Furthermore, regulating these same pathways may be critical to developing efficient activity protocols to reduce the prevalence of diabetes in people with longstanding paralysis from SCI. We analyzed skeletal muscle using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Partek Genomic Suites.

Project description:We used a novel approach to study the acute effect of two frequencies of stimulation (20 Hz and 5 Hz; high and low force, respectively) on gene regulation in people with chronic paralysis. Three hours after the completion of the electrical stimulation protocol (5 Hz or 20 Hz), we sampled the vastus lateralis muscle and examined genes involved with metabolic transcription, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondria remodelling. We discovered that the 5 Hz stimulation, despite generating a lower overall force, induced a 5-6 fold increase (p<0.05) in key metabolic transcription factors including PGC-1?, NR4A3, and ABRA. Neither protocol showed a robust regulation of genes for glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondria remodelling. We analyzed skeletal muscle using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Partek Genomic Suites.

Project description:The functional state of denervated muscle is a critical factor in the ability to restore movement after injury- or disease-related paralysis. Here we used peripheral optogenetic stimulation in the mouse whisker system to investigate the time course of changes in nerve and muscle function following facial nerve transection. While most skeletal muscles atrophy after lower motor neuron denervation, optogenetic muscle stimulation of the paralyzed whisker pad revealed sustained increases in the sensitivity, velocity, and amplitude of whisker movements, and reduced fatigability, starting 48 h after denervation. Transcriptome profiling showed distinct regulation of multiple gene families in denervated whisker pad muscles compared to the atrophy-prone soleus, including prominent changes in ion channels and contractile fibers. Together, our results define the functional and transcriptomic landscape of muscle denervation supersensensitivty, and have implications for restoring movement after neuromuscular injury or disease.

Project description:Analysis of denervation induced regulation of muscle mass at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that the presence of MuRF1 contributes to the extent of gene expression changes observed in specific sets of genes during a challenge leading to muscle atrophy. Results provide important information on the response of triceps surae muscle to sciatic nerve resection (denervation), such as specific structural, metabolic, and neuromuscular junction associated genes, that may be influenced by MuRF1 during atrophy. Total RNA obtained from isolated triceps surae muscle subjected to 3 or 14 days post-denervation compared to nonsurgically treated littermate control muscles.
