Transcriptomic analyses reveal rhythmic and CLOCK-driven pathways in human skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT: Circadian regulation of transcriptional processes has a broad impact on cell metabolism. Here, we compared the diurnal transcriptome of human skeletal muscle conducted on serial muscle biopsies in vivo with profiles of human skeletal myotubes synchronized in vitro. More extensive rhythmic transcription was observed in human skeletal muscle compared to in vitro cell culture as a large part of the in vivo mRNA rhythmicity was lost in vitro. siRNA-mediated clock disruption in primary myotubes significantly affected the expression of ~8% of all genes, with impact on glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. Genes involved in GLUT4 expression, translocation and recycling were negatively affected, whereas lipid metabolic genes were altered to promote activation of lipid utilization. Moreover, basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake were significantly reduced upon CLOCK depletion. Our findings suggest an essential role for the circadian coordination of skeletal muscle glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism in humans.

Project description:BackgroundAgeing is associated with DNA methylation changes in all human tissues, and epigenetic markers can estimate chronological age based on DNA methylation patterns across tissues. However, the construction of the original pan-tissue epigenetic clock did not include skeletal muscle samples and hence exhibited a strong deviation between DNA methylation and chronological age in this tissue.MethodsTo address this, we developed a more accurate, muscle-specific epigenetic clock based on the genome-wide DNA methylation data of 682 skeletal muscle samples from 12 independent datasets (18-89 years old, 22% women, 99% Caucasian), all generated with Illumina HumanMethylation (HM) arrays (HM27, HM450, or HMEPIC). We also took advantage of the large number of samples to conduct an epigenome-wide association study of age-associated DNA methylation patterns in skeletal muscle.ResultsThe newly developed clock uses 200 cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides to estimate chronological age in skeletal muscle, 16 of which are in common with the 353 cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides of the pan-tissue clock. The muscle clock outperformed the pan-tissue clock, with a median error of only 4.6 years across datasets (vs. 13.1 years for the pan-tissue clock, P < 0.0001) and an average correlation of ρ = 0.62 between actual and predicted age across datasets (vs. ρ = 0.51 for the pan-tissue clock). Lastly, we identified 180 differentially methylated regions with age in skeletal muscle at a false discovery rate < 0.005. However, gene set enrichment analysis did not reveal any enrichment for gene ontologies.ConclusionsWe have developed a muscle-specific epigenetic clock that predicts age with better accuracy than the pan-tissue clock. We implemented the muscle clock in an r package called Muscle Epigenetic Age Test available on Bioconductor to estimate epigenetic age in skeletal muscle samples. This clock may prove valuable in assessing the impact of environmental factors, such as exercise and diet, on muscle-specific biological ageing processes.

Project description:The annotation of the Affymetrix HTA 2.0 array was updated to optimise the detection of RNA in human skeletal muscle samples by removing invalid and low signal-high-variance probes Human primary skeletal muscle cells were isolated from muscle biopsies from healthy adults as previously described (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Myogenic cell enrichment used magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and anti-CD56 microbeads (130-050-401; Miltenyi Biotec). Myogenic purity was assessed through measurement of fractional desmin positivity (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Cells were washed in PBS and fixed in ice-cold 1:1 acetone/methanol, before being blocked in 5% (v/v) goat serum for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-desmin monoclonal antibody (ab32362; Abcam) for 1h at room temperature, washed, and incubated with anti-rabbit TRITC-conjugated secondary antibody as previously detailed (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Finally, cells were washed in PBS and mounted/DAPI-stained using FluoroshieldTM mounting medium with DAPI. Myoblasts at passage 5-6 were cultured on Collagen Type I-coated 6-well dishes in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F-12; Life Technologies) containing 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich), 1% (v/v) antibiotic-antimycotic (AbAm) solution and 4mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies). Cells were maintained at 37oC with 5% CO2. Once cells reached ~95% confluency, differentiation was induced by switching the medium to DMEM/F-12 containing 2% (v/v) horse serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 4mM L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) AbAm solution (Life Technologies). Six days following the initiation of differentiation, a media change was carried out, using differentiation media supplemented with long R3 IGF-1 (10 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), with or without 100 nM rapamycin (Sigma-Aldrich). DMSO (final concentration 0.01% (v/v)) was used as a vehicle control for rapamycin. Samples were collected at 0h baseline and following 4h and 24h treatment.
