The effects of high-fat feeding on physical function and skeletal muscle extracellular matrix.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling has been proposed as a feature of the pathogenic milieu associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Whether muscle ECM is associated with impaired physical function in obese conditions is unknown. C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or chow for 5, 10 and 25 weeks. Non-invasive physiological tests (hang wire, hang mesh and grip strength) to assess neuromuscular function and motor co-ordination were performed. Genes related to ECM structure (COL1, COL3, COL6A2, SPARC), growth factors (TGFB1, TGFB2, CTGF, VEGF) and muscle function (DMD (Dp147), CPN3, DAG1) were measured in gastrocnemius muscle using real-time PCR and COL1, 3 and 6 protein were measured by western immunoblot. Compared with chow, HFD mice had two to six-fold lower muscle strength (hang wire test; raw data and multiplied by body weight) at all time-points (P<0.001) and two-fold lower hang mesh and grip strength at 10 weeks (P<0.05). At 5 weeks, COL1, COL3 and COL6 gene expression, but not protein levels were three to eight-fold lower in HFD compared with chow. In the HFD group at 5 weeks, greater COL3 and 6 gene expression were associated with poorer hang wire performance. For the first time, our results demonstrate links between muscle ECM structure and physical function in obesity.

Lysosomal Function Impacts the Skeletal Muscle Extracellular Matrix.

Project description:Muscle development and homeostasis are critical for normal muscle function. A key aspect of muscle physiology during development, growth, and homeostasis is modulation of protein turnover, the balance between synthesis and degradation of muscle proteins. Protein degradation depends upon lysosomal pH, generated and maintained by proton pumps. Sphingolipid transporter 1 (spns1), a highly conserved gene encoding a putative late endosome/lysosome carbohydrate/H+ symporter, plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal lysosomal pH and spns1-/- mutants undergo premature senescence. However, the impact of dysregulated lysosomal pH on muscle development and homeostasis is not well understood. We found that muscle development proceeds normally in spns1-/- mutants prior to the onset of muscle degeneration. Dysregulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) at the myotendinous junction (MTJ) coincided with the onset of muscle degeneration in spns1-/- mutants. Expression of the ECM proteins laminin 111 and MMP-9 was upregulated. Upregulation of laminin 111 mitigated the severity of muscle degeneration, as inhibition of adhesion to laminin 111 exacerbated muscle degeneration in spns1-/- mutants. MMP-9 upregulation was induced by tnfsf12 signaling, but abrogation of MMP-9 did not impact muscle degeneration in spns1-/- mutants. Taken together, these data indicate that dysregulated lysosomal pH impacts expression of ECM proteins at the myotendinous junction.

Effects of High-Fat Feeding on Skeletal Muscle Gene Expression in Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats.

Project description:In the present report, we examined the responses of diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats and control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats fed either a standard chow or high-fat diet (HFD) from weaning to 20 weeks of age. This comparison included gene expression profiling of skeletal muscle using Affymetrix gene array chips. The expression profiling is interpreted within the context of a wide array of physiological measurements. Genes whose expressions are different between the 2 strains regardless of diet, as well as genes that differ between strains only with HFD, were identified. In addition, genes that were regulated by diet in 1 or both strains were identified. The results suggest that both strains respond to HFD by an increased capacity to oxidize lipid fuels in the musculature but that this adaptation occurs more rapidly in WKY rats. The results also demonstrated an impaired cytokine signalling and heightened inflammatory status in the GK rats.

Skeletal Muscle Fat and Its Association With Physical Function in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo characterize skeletal muscle fat (SMF), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and assess the associations between these fat depots and physical function and physical activity.MethodsIn a cross-sectional analysis from an RA cohort, SMF, IMAT, and SAT were measured using computed tomography imaging of the midthigh cross-sectional region. Physical function was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and a battery of performance-based tests that included quadriceps muscle strength, gait speed, repeated chair-stands, stair ascent, and single-leg stance. Physical activity was assessed using an activity monitor. Associations between SMF, IMAT, and SAT and physical function and activity were assessed by multiple linear regression models adjusted for potential confounders such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), muscle area, and muscle strength.ResultsSixty subjects with RA (82% female, mean ± SD age 59 ± 10 years, mean ± SD BMI 31.79 ± 7.16 kg/m2 ) were included. In the adjusted models, lower SMF was associated with greater gait speed, single-leg stance, quadriceps strength, and physical activity, and less disability (R2 ? range 0.06-0.25; P < 0.05), whereas IMAT was not associated with physical function or physical activity and SAT was negatively associated with disability (HAQ) (R2 ? = 0.13; P < 0.05) and weakly but positively associated with muscle strength (R2 ? = 0.023; P < 0.05).ConclusionFat infiltration within the muscle seems to independently contribute to low physical function and physical activity, contrary to IMAT or SAT accumulation. Longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm the impact of SMF on disability and health promotion in persons with RA.

Effects of high-fat diet and physical activity on pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 in mouse skeletal muscle.

Project description:BackgroundThe expression of PDK4 is elevated by diabetes, fasting and other conditions associated with the switch from the utilization of glucose to fatty acids as an energy source. It is previously shown that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), a master regulator of energy metabolism, coactivates in cell lines pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 (PDK4) gene expression via the estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα). We investigated the effects of long-term high-fat diet and physical activity on the expression of PDK4, PGC-1α and ERRα and the amount and function of mitochondria in skeletal muscle.MethodsInsulin resistance was induced by a high-fat (HF) diet for 19 weeks in C57BL/6 J mice, which were either sedentary or with access to running wheels. The skeletal muscle expression levels of PDK4, PGC-1α and ERRα were measured and the quality and quantity of mitochondrial function was assessed.ResultsThe HF mice were more insulin-resistant than the low-fat (LF) -fed mice. Upregulation of PDK4 and ERRα mRNA and protein levels were seen after the HF diet, and when combined with running even more profound effects on the mRNA expression levels were observed. Chronic HF feeding and voluntary running did not have significant effects on PGC-1α mRNA or protein levels. No remarkable difference was found in the amount or function of mitochondria.ConclusionsOur results support the view that insulin resistance is not mediated by the decreased qualitative or quantitative properties of mitochondria. Instead, the role of PDK4 should be contemplated as a possible contributor to high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance.

Exercise and high-fat feeding remodel transcript-metabolite interactive networks in mouse skeletal muscle.

Project description:Enhanced coverage and sensitivity of next-generation 'omic' platforms has allowed the characterization of gene, metabolite and protein responses in highly metabolic tissues, such as, skeletal muscle. A limitation, however, is the capability to determine interaction between dynamic biological networks. To address this limitation, we applied Weighted Analyte Correlation Network Analysis (WACNA) to RNA-seq and metabolomic datasets to identify correlated subnetworks of transcripts and metabolites in response to a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and/or exercise. HFD altered skeletal muscle lipid profiles and up-regulated genes involved in lipid catabolism, while decreasing 241 exercise-responsive genes related to skeletal muscle plasticity. WACNA identified the interplay between transcript and metabolite subnetworks linked to lipid metabolism, inflammation and glycerophospholipid metabolism that were associated with IL6, AMPK and PPAR signal pathways. Collectively, this novel experimental approach provides an integrative resource to study transcriptional and metabolic networks in skeletal muscle in the context of health and disease.

Effects of acute maximal exercise and high-fat feeding on the mouse skeletal muscle transcriptome

Project description:Physical inactivity and over-nutrition are key risk factors for metabolic diseases, with impaired skeletal muscle gene transcription and metabolic function proposed as key etiological factors. Here, we have used RNA-seq to assessed the skeletal muscle transcriptome from mice fed a control or high fat diet (HFD), both pre- and 3h post-exercise. HFD up-regulated genes involved in lipid catabolism in skeletal muscle (quadriceps), while decreasing 241 exercise-responsive genes related to skeletal muscle plasticity. Collectively, this experimental approach provides a suitable resource to study transcriptional and metabolic networks in skeletal muscle in the context of health and disease.

Efficiency of skeletal muscle decellularization methods and their effects on the extracellular matrix.

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) is widely considered to be integral to the function of skeletal muscle, providing mechanical support, transmitting force, and contributing to passive stiffness. Many functions and dysfunctions attributed to ECM are thought to stem from its mechanical properties, yet there are few data describing the mechanics of intact ECM. Such measurements require isolating intact ECM from the muscle cells it surrounds. The objectives of this study were to quantify the efficiency of three techniques for this purpose: Triton, Triton with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and latrunculin B; and to determine their impact on properties of the remaining ECM. Efficiency was quantified by DNA content and evaluation of western blot intensities for myosin and actin. The properties of ECM were quantified by collagen content and uniaxial tensile testing. We found that latrunculin B was the most efficient method for removing skeletal muscle cells, reducing DNA content to less than 10% of that seen in control muscles, and substantially reducing the myosin and actin to 15% and 23%, respectively; these changes were larger than for the competing methods. Collagen content after decellularization was not significantly different from control muscles for all methods. Only the stiffness of the muscles decellularized with latrunculin B differed significantly from control, having a Young's modulus reduced by 47% compared to the other methods at matched stresses. Our results suggest that latrunculin B is the most efficient method for decellularizing skeletal muscle and that the remaining ECM accounts for approximately half of the stiffness in passive muscle.

Biologic scaffold composed of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix.

Project description:Biologic scaffolds prepared from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of decellularized mammalian tissues have been shown to facilitate constructive remodeling in injured tissues such as skeletal muscle, the esophagus, and lower urinary tract, among others. The ECM of every tissue has a unique composition and structure that likely has direct effects on the host response and it is plausible that ECM harvested from a given tissue would provide distinct advantages over ECM harvested from nonhomologous tissues. For example, a tissue specific muscle ECM scaffold may be more suitable for constructive remodeling of skeletal muscle than non-homologous ECM tissue sources. The present study describes an enzymatic and chemical decellularization process for isolating skeletal muscle ECM scaffolds using established decellularization criteria and characterized the structure and chemical composition of the resulting ECM. The results were compared to those from a non-muscle ECM derived from small intestine (SIS). Muscle ECM was shown to contain growth factors, glycosaminoglycans, and basement membrane structural proteins which differed from those present in SIS. Myogenic cells survived and proliferated on muscle ECM scaffolds in vitro, and when implanted in a rat abdominal wall injury model in vivo was shown to induce a constructive remodeling response associated with scaffold degradation and myogenesis in the implant area; however, the remodeling outcome did not differ from that induced by SIS by 35 days post surgery. These results suggest that superior tissue remodeling outcomes are not universally dependent upon homologous tissue derived ECM scaffold materials.

Dermatopontin in Skeletal Muscle Extracellular Matrix Regulates Myogenesis.

Project description:Dermatopontin (DPT) is an extensively distributed non-collagenous component of the extracellular matrix predominantly found in the dermis of the skin, and consequently expressed in several tissues. In this study, we explored the role of DPT in myogenesis and perceived that it enhances the cell adhesion, reduces the cell proliferation and promotes the myoblast differentiation in C2C12 cells. Our results reveal an inhibitory effect with fibronectin (FN) in myoblast differentiation. We also observed that DPT and fibromodulin (FMOD) regulate positively to each other and promote myogenic differentiation. We further predicted the 3D structure of DPT, which is as yet unknown, and validated it using state-of-the-art in silico tools. Furthermore, we explored the in-silico protein-protein interaction between DPT-FMOD, DPT-FN, and FMOD-FN, and perceived that the interaction between FMOD-FN is more robust than DPT-FMOD and DPT-FN. Taken together, our findings have determined the role of DPT at different stages of the myogenic process.

The role of extracellular matrix composition in structure and function of bioengineered skeletal muscle.

Project description:One of the obstacles to the potential clinical utility of bioengineered skeletal muscle is its limited force generation capacity. Since engineered muscle, unlike most native muscle tissue, is composed of relatively short myofibers, we hypothesized that, its force production and transmission would be profoundly influenced by cell-matrix interactions. To test this hypothesis, we systematically varied the matrix protein type (collagen I/fibrin/Matrigel) and concentration in engineered, hydrogel-based neonatal rat skeletal muscle bundles and assessed the resulting tissue structure, generation of contractile force, and intracellular Ca(2+) handling. After two weeks of culture, the muscle bundles consisted of highly aligned and cross-striated myofibers and exhibited standard force-length and force-frequency relationships achieving tetanus at 40 Hz. The use of 2 mg/ml fibrin (control) yielded isometric tetanus amplitude of 1.4 ± 0.3 mN as compared to 0.9 ± 0.4 mN measured in collagen I-based bundles. Higher fibrin and Matrigel concentrations synergistically yielded further increase in active force generation to 2.8 ± 0.5 mN without significantly affecting passive mechanical properties, tetanus-to-twitch ratio, and twitch kinetics. Optimized matrix composition yielded significant cellular hypertrophy (protein/DNA ratio = 11.4 ± 4.1 vs. 6.5 ± 1.9 μg/μg in control) and a prolonged Ca(2+) transient half-width (Ca(50) = 232.8 ± 33.3 vs. 101.7 ± 19.8 ms). The use of growth-factor-reduced Matrigel, instead of standard Matrigel did not alter the obtained results suggesting enhanced cell-matrix interactions rather than growth factor supplementation as an underlying cause for the measured increase in contractile force. In summary, biomaterial-based manipulation of cell-matrix interactions represents an important target for improving contractile force generation in engineered skeletal muscle.
