Age-Associated Loss of OPA1 in Muscle Impacts Muscle Mass, Metabolic Homeostasis, Systemic Inflammation, and Epithelial Senescence.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs during aging, but its impact on tissue senescence is unknown. Here, we find that sedentary but not active humans display an age-related decline in the mitochondrial protein, optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), that is associated with muscle loss. In adult mice, acute, muscle-specific deletion of Opa1 induces a precocious senescence phenotype and premature death. Conditional and inducible Opa1 deletion alters mitochondrial morphology and function but not DNA content. Mechanistically, the ablation of Opa1 leads to ER stress, which signals via the unfolded protein response (UPR) and FoxOs, inducing a catabolic program of muscle loss and systemic aging. Pharmacological inhibition of ER stress or muscle-specific deletion of FGF21 compensates for the loss of Opa1, restoring a normal metabolic state and preventing muscle atrophy and premature death. Thus, mitochondrial dysfunction in the muscle can trigger a cascade of signaling initiated at the ER that systemically affects general metabolism and aging.

Project description:BackgroundMalignant ascites is prevalent in advanced-stage ovarian cancer and may facilitate identification of the drivers of muscle loss. This study aimed to evaluate the association of ascites with changes in systemic inflammation and muscle after treatment of advanced-stage ovarian cancer.MethodsWe evaluated 307 patients with advanced-stage (III/IVA) ovarian cancer who underwent primary debulking surgery and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy between 2010 and 2019. The changes in skeletal muscle index (SMI) and radiodensity (SMD) were measured using pre-surgery and post-chemotherapy portal-venous phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans at L3. Systemic inflammation was measured using albumin levels, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Primary endpoint was the changes in SMI and SMD after treatment. Linear regression analysis was used to test associations between muscle change and other covariates. Mediation analysis was used to determine the mediator.ResultsThe median (range) age was 53 (23-83) years. The median duration (range) of follow-up was 5.2 (1.1-11.3) years. Overall, 187 (60.9%) patients had ascites. The changes in muscle and systemic inflammatory markers after treatment were significantly different between patients with and without ascites (SMI: -3.9% vs. 2.2%, P < 0.001; SMD: -4.0% vs. -0.4%, P < 0.001; albumin: -4.4% vs. 2.1%, P < 0.001; PNI: -8.4% vs. -0.1%, P < 0.001; NLR: 20.6% vs. -29.4%, P < 0.001; and PLR: 1.7% vs. -19.4%, P < 0.001). The changes in SMI and SMD were correlated with the changes in albumin, PNI, NLR, and PLR (all P < 0.001). In multiple linear regression, ascites and NLR changes were negatively while albumin change was positively correlated with SMI change (ascites: β = -3.19, P < 0.001; NLR change: β = -0.02, P = 0.003; albumin change: β = 0.37, P < 0.001). Ascites and NLR changes were negatively while PNI change was positively correlated with SMD change (ascites: β = -1.28, P = 0.02; NLR change: β = -0.02, P < 0.001; PNI change: β = 0.11, P = 0.04). In mediation analysis, ascites had a direct effect on SMI change (P < 0.001) and an indirect effect mediated by NLR change (indirect effects = -1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.22 to -1.08) and albumin change (indirect effects = -2.92, 95% CI: -4.01 to -1.94). Ascites had a direct effect on SMD change (P < 0.001) and an indirect effect mediated by NLR change (indirect effects = -1.76, 95% CI: -2.34 to -1.22) and PNI change (indirect effects = -2.00, 95% CI: -2.79 to -1.36).ConclusionsMalignant ascites was associated with enhanced systemic inflammation and muscle loss after primary debulking surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy in advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The association between ascites and muscle loss may be mediated by systemic inflammation.
