Loss of RNA-Binding Protein Sfpq Causes Long-Gene Transcriptopathy in Skeletal Muscle and Severe Muscle Mass Reduction with Metabolic Myopathy.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidences are suggesting that extra-long genes in mammals are vulnerable for full-gene length transcription and dysregulation of long genes is a mechanism underlying human genetic disorders. How long-distance transcription is achieved is a fundamental question to be elucidated. In previous study, we had discovered that RNA-binding protein SFPQ preferentially binds to long pre-mRNAs and specifically regulates the cluster of neuronal genes >100 kbp. Here we investigated the roles of SFPQ for long gene expression, target specificities, and also physiological functions in skeletal muscle. Loss of Sfpq selectively downregulated genes >100 kbp including Dystrophin, which is 2.26 Mbp in length. Sfpq knockout (KO) mice showed progressive muscle mass reduction and metabolic myopathy characterized by glycogen accumulation and decreased abundance of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Functional clustering analysis identified energy metabolism pathway genes as SFPQ's targets. These findings indicate target gene specificities and tissue-specific physiological functions of SFPQ in skeletal muscle.

Loss of RNA-binding protein Sfpq causes long-gene transcriptopathy in skeletal muscle and severe muscle mass reduction with metabolic myopathy (skeletal muscle, mRNA-seq)

Project description:Growing evidences are suggesting that extra-long genes in mammals are vulnerable for full-gene length transcription and dysregulation of long genes is a mechanism underlying human genetic disorders. Skeletal muscle expresses Dystrophin which is 2.26 Mbp in length; however, how long-distance transcription is achieved is totally unknown. We had discovered RNA-binding protein SFPQ preferentially binds to long pre-mRNAs and specifically regulates the cluster of neuronal genes > 100 kbp. Here we investigated the roles of SFPQ for long gene expression, target specificities, and also physiological functions in skeletal muscle. Loss of Sfpq selectively downregulated genes >100 kbp including Dystrophin and caused progressive muscle mass reduction and metabolic myopathy characterized by glycogen accumulation and decreased abundance of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Functional clustering analysis identified metabolic pathway related genes as the targets of SFPQ. These findings indicate target gene specificities and tissue-specific physiological functions of SFPQ in skeletal muscle.

Imbalanced Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Proteostasis Causes Bone Loss.

Project description:Although microgravity has been implicated in osteoporosis, the precise molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we found that microgravity might induce mitochondrial protein buildup in skeletal muscle, alongside reduced levels of LONP1 protein. We revealed that disruptions in mitochondrial proteolysis, induced by the targeted skeletal muscle-specific deletion of the essential mitochondrial protease LONP1 or by the acute inducible deletion of muscle LONP1 in adult mice, cause reduced bone mass and compromised mechanical function. Moreover, the bone loss and weakness phenotypes were recapitulated in skeletal muscle-specific overexpressing ΔOTC mice, a known protein degraded by LONP1. Mechanistically, mitochondrial proteostasis imbalance triggered the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) in muscle, leading to an up-regulation of multiple myokines, including FGF21, which acts as a pro-osteoclastogenic factor. Surprisingly, this mitochondrial proteostasis stress influenced muscle-bone crosstalk independently of ATF4 in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, we established a marked association between serum FGF21 levels and bone health in humans. These findings emphasize the pivotal role of skeletal muscle mitochondrial proteostasis in responding to alterations in loading conditions and in coordinating UPRmt to modulate bone metabolism.
