Effects of cisplatin on mitochondrial function and autophagy-related proteins in skeletal muscle of rats.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin is widely known as an anti-cancer drug. However, the effects of cisplatin on mitochondrial function and autophagyrelated proteins levels in the skeletal muscle are unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different doses of cisplatin on mitochondrial function and autophagy-related protein levels in the skeletal muscle of rats. Eight-weekold male Wistar rats (n = 24) were assigned to one of three groups; the first group was administered a saline placebo (CON, n = 10), and the second and third groups were given 0.1 mg/kg body weight (BW) (n = 6), and 0.5 mg/kg BW (n = 8) of cisplatin, respectively. The group that had been administered 0.5 mg cisplatin exhibited a reduced BW, skeletal muscle tissue weight, and mitochondrial function and upregulated levels of autophagy-related proteins, including LC3II, Beclin 1, and BNIP3. Moreover, this group had a high LC3 II/I ratio in the skeletal muscle; i.e., the administration of a high dose of cisplatin decreased the muscle mass and mitochondrial function and increased the levels of autophagy-related proteins. These results, thus, suggest that reducing mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy pathways may be important for preventing skeletal muscle atrophy following cisplatin administration.

Project description:BackgroundFew researches have investigated the molecular mechanism responsible for the age-related loss of the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) mass and functionality-a pivotal contributor to pelvic organ prolapse and diminished physical well-being. ADP ribosylation factor GTPase activating protein 3 (ArfGAP3) is a member of ArfGAPs, which regulates the vesicular trafficking pathway and intracellular proteins transporting. However, its effects on skeletal muscle ageing remain largely unknown.MethodsMouse models of natural ageing and D-gal (D-galactose)-induced ageing were subject to analyse the structure, function and pathological alterations of the PFM and the expression of ArfGAP3. Stable ArfGAP3 knockdown and overexpression C2C12 cell lines were established to investigate the anti-senescence effects of ArfGAP3 and the underlying mechanisms in ageing process, complemented by Rab5a genetic intervention and mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviral particles transfection. In vivo experiments entailed ArfGAP3 overexpression in mice alongside autophagy inhibitor treatment, with assessments encompassing tissue mass, bladder leak point pressure (BLPP), submicroscopic structure, antioxidative stress system and muscle regeneration.ResultsAged (24-month-old) mice exhibited significant physiological alterations in PFMs, including decreased muscle mass, diminished cross-sectional area (CSA), deteriorated supporting function (as evidenced by reduced BLPP), impaired autophagy and increased levels of oxidative stress (p < 0.001). Utilizing ageing C2C12 model, we observed a dose-dependent relationship between D-gal induction and cellular senescence, impaired differentiation and mitochondrial damage. Remarkably, the expression levels of ArfGAP3 were markedly downregulated in both in vitro and in vivo ageing models. Knockdown of ArfGAP3 exacerbated impaired differentiation potential and induced aberrant mitochondrial morphology and functional dysfunction in ageing C2C12 myoblasts, whereas ArfGAP3 overexpression largely mitigated these effects. Mechanistically, our findings revealed an interplay between ArfGAP3 and Rab5a, indicating their coordinated regulation. ArfGAP3-mediated activation of Rab5a-associated autophagy and IRS1-AKT-mTOR signalling pathways during cellular senescence and myogenesis was identified, leading to enhanced autophagic flux and improved resistance to oxidative stress. In vivo, ArfGAP3 overexpression ameliorated D-gal-induced loss of muscle mass and function, while promoting antioxidant responses and muscle regeneration in mice. However, these protective effects of ArfGAP3 overexpression were extinguished by autophagy inhibition.ConclusionsOur study uncovers the significant role of ArfGAP3 in enhancing differentiation capacity and mitochondrial function through mediating Rab5a expression to activate IRS1-AKT-mTOR signalling pathways and promote autophagy during the ageing process. These findings underscore the potential of ArfGAP3 as a promising therapeutic target for ameliorating the decline in skeletal muscle function associated with ageing.
