Project description:Cancer is considered as a disease of a specific organ, but its effects are felt throughout the body. The systemic effects of cancer can lead to weakness in muscles and heart, which hastens cancer-associated death. miR-486 is a myogenic microRNA and its reduced expression in skeletal muscle is observed in muscular dystrophy. Muscle-specific transgenic expression of miR-486 using muscle creatine kinase promoter (MCK-miR-486) partially rescues skeletal muscle defects in muscular dystrophy animal models. We had previously demonstrated reduced circulating and skeletal muscle levels of miR-486 in several cancer types and lower miR-486 levels correlated with skeletal muscle defects and functional limitations in mammary tumor models. Therefore, skeletal muscle defects induced by cancer could resemble defects observed in various dystrophies, which could be reversed through skeletal muscle expression of miR-486. We performed functional limitations studies and biochemical analysis of skeletal muscles of MMTV-Neu transgenic mice that mimic HER2+ breast cancer and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice that mimic luminal subtype B breast cancer and these mice crossed to MCK-miR-486 transgenic mice. miR-486 significantly prevented tumor-induced reduction in muscle contraction force, grip strength, and rotarod performance in MMTV-Neu, but not in MMTV-PyMT mice. In MMTV-Neu model, miR-486 reversed several of the cancer-induced changes in skeletal muscle including loss of p53, phospho-AKT, and phospho-laminin alpha 2 (LAMA2) and gain of phosphorylation of the pre-mRNA processing factor hnRNPA0 and the splicing factor SRSF10. LAMA2 is a part of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex, and its loss-of-function mutation is associated with congenital muscular dystrophy. Thus, similar to muscular dystrophy, miR-486 has the potential to reverse skeletal muscle defects and cancer burden in select cancer types.

Project description:In response to skeletal muscle injury, adult myogenic stem cells, known as satellite cells, are activated and undergo proliferation and differentiation to regenerate new muscle fibers. The skeletal muscle-specific microRNA, miR-206, is up-regulated in satellite cells following muscle injury, but its role in muscle regeneration has not been defined. Here we show that skeletal muscle regeneration in response to cardiotoxin injury is impaired in mice lacking miR-206. Loss of miR-206 also accelerates and exacerbates the dystrophic phenotype of mdx mice, a model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. MiR-206 promotes satellite cell differentiation and fusion to form multinucleated myofibers by suppressing a collection of negative regulators of myogenesis. Our findings reveal an essential role for miR-206 in satellite cell differentiation during skeletal muscle regeneration and as a modulator of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. total RNA obtained from TA muscle of mdx and 3 miR-206 KO; mdx mice at 3 months of age.

Project description:Skeletal muscle holds an intrinsic capability of growth and regeneration both in physiological conditions and in case of injury. Chronic muscle illnesses, generally caused by genetic and acquired factors, lead to deconditioning of the skeletal muscle structure and function, and are associated with a significant loss in muscle mass. At the same time, progressive muscle wasting is a hallmark of aging. Given the paracrine properties of myogenic stem cells, extracellular vesicle-derived signals have been studied for their potential implication in both the pathogenesis of degenerative neuromuscular diseases and as a possible therapeutic target. In this study, we screened the content of extracellular vesicles from animal models of muscle hypertrophy and muscle wasting associated with chronic disease and aging. Analysis of the transcriptome, protein cargo and microRNAs (miRNAs) allowed us to identify a hypertrophic miRNA signature amenable for targeting muscle wasting, consisting of miR-1 and miR-208a. We tested this signature among others in vitro on mesoangioblasts (MABs), vessel-associated adult stem cells, and we observed an increase in the efficiency of myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, injections of miRNA-treated MABs in aged mice resulted in an improvement in skeletal muscle features, such as muscle weight, strength and cross-sectional area compared to controls. Overall, we provide evidence that the extracellular vesicle-derived miRNA signature we identified enhances the myogenic potential of myogenic stem cells.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important in the regulation of many biological processes including muscle development. However, little is known regarding miRNA regulation of muscle regeneration. In mature murine tibialis anterior muscle following injury, 298 miRNAs were significantly changed during the time course of muscle regeneration including 86 that were altered greater than 10-fold as compared to uninjured muscle. Temporal miRNA expression patterns were identified and included inflammation-related miRNAs (miR-223 and -147) that increased immediately after injury; this pattern contrasted to that of mature muscle-specific miRNAs (miR-1, -133a and -499) that were abruptly decreased following injury and then up-regulated in later regenerative events. Another cluster of miRNAs were transiently increased in the early days of muscle regeneration. This included miR-351, a miRNA that was also transiently expressed during myogenic progenitor cell (MPC) differentiation in vitro. Based on computational predictions, further studies demonstrated that E2f3 was a target of miR-351 in myoblasts. Moreover, knockdown of miR-351 expression inhibited MPC proliferation and promoted apoptosis during MPC differentiation, whereas miR-351 overexpression protected MPC from apoptosis during differentiation. Collectively, these observations suggest that miR-351 is involved in both the maintenance of MPC proliferation and the transition of MPC into differentiated myotubes. Thus, a novel, time-dependent sequence of molecular events during skeletal muscle regeneration has been identified, i.e., miR-351 inhibits E2f3 expression, a key regulator of cell cycle progression and proliferation, and promotes MPC proliferation and protects early differentiating MPC from apoptosis, important events in the hostile tissue environment after acute muscle injury. Skeletal muscles are damaged and repaired repeatedly throughout life. Muscle regeneration maintains locomotor function during aging and delays the appearance of clinical symptoms in neuromuscular diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The capacity for skeletal muscle growth and regeneration is conferred by satellite cells located between the basal lamina and the sarcolemma of mature myofibers. Upon injury, satellite cells reenter the cell cycle, proliferate, and then exit the cell cycle either to renew the quiescent satellite cell pool or to differentiate into mature myofibers. Despite recent advances, genes involved in these processes are still largely unknown. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate satellite cell activities could promote development of novel countermeasures to enhance muscle regeneration that is compromised by diseases or aging. Using a muscle injury mouse model, we profiled miRNA expression during muscle regeneration.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs that regulate gene expression and are implicated in wide-ranging cellular processes and pathological conditions including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We have compared differential miRNA expression in proximal and distal limb muscles, diaphragm, heart and serum in the mdx mouse relative to wild-type controls. Global transcriptome analysis revealed muscle-specific patterns of differential miRNA expression as well as a number of changes common between tissues, including previously identified dystromirs. In the case of miR-31 and miR-34c, up-regulation of primary-miRNA transcripts, precursor hairpins and all mature miRNAs derived from the same transcript or miRNA cluster strongly suggests transcriptional regulation of these miRNAs. The most striking differences in differential miRNA expression were between muscle tissue and serum. Specifically, miR-1, miR-133a and miR-206 were highly abundant in serum but down-regulated or modestly up-regulated in muscle, suggesting that these miRNAs are promising disease biomarkers. Indeed, the relative serum levels of these miRNAs were normalised in response to peptide-PMO mediated dystrophin restoration therapy. This study has revealed further complexity in the miRNA transcriptome of the mdx mouse, an understanding of which will be valuable in the development of novel therapeutics and for monitoring their efficacy.

Male WT C57/B10 and male mdx C57/B10 mice (n=4) were sacrificed at eight weeks of age. The heart, quadriceps femoris, and diaphragm were dissected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen-cooled isopentane. Samples were homogenised using Precellys 24 (Bertin Technologies, France), and RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) as according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through
interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to
enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation.
Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important
roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre
hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle
ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets
mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it
difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on
age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the
potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine
models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an
integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in
muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target
interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of
individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make
testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate
key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the
switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating
myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We
propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial
switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on
and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143
inhibiting myogenesis.
