NEDD4-1 deficiency impairs satellite cell function during skeletal muscle regeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Satellite cells are tissue-specific stem cells primarily responsible for the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Satellite cell function and maintenance are regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms, including the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which is key for maintaining protein homeostasis. In this context, it has been shown that ubiquitin-ligase NEDD4-1 targets the transcription factor PAX7 for proteasome-dependent degradation, promoting muscle differentiation in vitro. Nonetheless, whether NEDD4-1 is required for satellite cell function in regenerating muscle remains to be determined.

Results

Using conditional gene ablation, we show that NEDD4-1 loss, specifically in the satellite cell population, impairs muscle regeneration resulting in a significant reduction of whole-muscle size. At the cellular level, NEDD4-1-null muscle progenitors exhibit a significant decrease in the ability to proliferate and differentiate, contributing to the formation of myofibers with reduced diameter.

Conclusions

These results indicate that NEDD4-1 expression is critical for proper muscle regeneration in vivo and suggest that it may control satellite cell function at multiple levels.

Project description:BackgroundThe splicing factor SRSF1 emerges as a mater regulator of cell proliferation, displaying high expression in actively proliferative satellite cells (SCs). In SRSF1 knockout mice (KO) generated via MyoD-Cre, early mortality and muscle atrophy are observed during postnatal muscle growth. Despite these findings, the precise mechanisms through which SRSF1 loss influences SCs' functions and its role in muscle regeneration remain to be elucidated.MethodsTo unravel the exact mechanisms underlying the impact of SRSF1 deficiency SC functions, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on a mononuclear cell suspension isolated from the newborn diaphragm of KO and control mice. Concurrently, we subjected diaphragm muscles to RNA-seq analysis to identify dysregulated splicing events associated with SRSF1 deletion. For the analysis of the effect of SRSF1 deletion on muscle regeneration, we generated mice with inducible SC-specific Srsf1 ablation through Pax7-CreER. SRSF1 ablation was induced by intraperitoneal injection of tamoxifen. Using cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, we examined the consequences of SRSF1 depletion on SC function through HE staining, immunostaining and EdU incorporation assay. C2C12 myoblasts and isolated myoblasts were employed to assess stem cell function and senescence.ResultsUtilizing scRNA-seq analysis, we observed a noteworthy increase in activated and proliferating myoblasts when SRSF1 was absent. This increase was substantial, with the proportion rising from 28.68% in the control group to 77.06% in the knockout group. However, these myoblasts experienced mitotic abnormalities in the absence of SRSF1, resulting in cell cycle arrest and the onset of cellular senescence. In the knockout mice, the proportion of Pax7+ cells within improper niche positioning increased significantly to 25% compared to 12% in the control cells (n ≥ 10, p < 0.001). Furthermore, there was an observation of persistent cell cycle exit specifically in the Pax7+ cells deficient in SRSF1 (n = 6, p < 0.001). SRSF1 plays a pivotal role in regulating the splicing of Fgfr1op2, favouring the full-length isoform crucial for mitotic spindle organization. Disrupting SRSF1 in C2C12 and primary myoblasts results in multipolar spindle formation (p < 0.001) and dysregulated splicing of Fgfr1op2 and triggers cellular senescence. Consequently, adult SCs lacking SRSF1 initially activate upon injury but face substantial challenge in proliferation (n = 4, p < 0.001), leading to a failure in muscle regeneration.ConclusionsSRSF1 plays a critical role in SCs by ensuring proper splicing, maintaining mitotic progression and preventing premature senescence. These findings underscore the significant role of SRSF1 in controlling SC proliferation during skeletal muscle growth and regeneration.
