Project description:Recent evidence has shown a crucial role for the osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand/RANK (OPG/RANKL/RANK) signaling axis not only in bone but also in muscle tissue; however, there is still a lack of understanding of its effects on muscle atrophy. Here, we found that denervated Opg knockout mice displayed better functional recovery and delayed muscle atrophy, especially in a specific type IIB fiber. Moreover, OPG deficiency promoted milder activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, which further verified the protective role of Opg knockout in denervated muscle damage. Furthermore, transcriptome sequencing indicated that Opg knockout upregulated the expression of Inpp5k, Rbm3, and Tet2 and downregulated that of Deptor in denervated muscle. In vitro experiments revealed that satellite cells derived from Opg knockout mice displayed a better differentiation ability than those acquired from wild-type littermates. Higher expression levels of Tet2 were also observed in satellite cells derived from Opg knockout mice, which provided a mechanistic basis for the protective effects of Opg knockout on muscle atrophy. Taken together, our findings uncover the novel role of Opg in muscle atrophy process and extend the current understanding in the OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling axis.

Project description:Despite over 3,000 articles published on dystrophin in the last 15 years, the reasons underlying the progression of the human disease, differential muscle involvement, and disparate phenotypes in different species are not understood. The present experiment employed a screen of 12,488 mRNAs in 16-wk-old mouse mdx muscle at a time when the skeletal muscle is avoiding severe dystrophic pathophysiology, despite the absence of a functional dystrophin protein. A number of transcripts whose levels differed between the mdx and human Duchenne muscular dystrophy were noted. A fourfold decrease in myostatin mRNA in the mdx muscle was noted. Differential upregulation of actin-related protein 2/3 (subunit 4), beta-thymosin, calponin, mast cell chymase, and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase mRNA in the more benign mdx was also observed. Transcripts for oxidative and glycolytic enzymes in mdx muscle were not downregulated. These discrepancies could provide candidates for salvage pathways that maintain skeletal muscle integrity in the absence of a functional dystrophin protein in mdx skeletal muscle.

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:Testicular germ cells tumors (TGCTs) have a high sensitivity to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and a high cure rate, although with possible serious adverse effects. In the search for tumor suppressive drugs, the RANKL inhibitor Denosumab, used to treat osteoporosis came up as a candidate since RANKL signaling was recently identified in the testis. RANKL signals through the receptor RANK and this signaling is antagonized by the decoy receptor OPG. Here, we demonstrate expression of RANKL, RANK, and OPG in germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), TGCTs, and TGCT-derived cell lines. RANKL inhibition reduced proliferation of seminoma-derived TCam-2 cells but had no effect on embryonal carcinoma-derived NTera2 cells in vitro. Denosumab did not potentiate the effect of cisplatin treatment in vitro but inhibition of RANKL in vivo resulted in reduced tumor growth in a TCam-2 but not a NTera2 xenograft model. Moreover, Denosumab treatment decreased proliferation in human testicular GCNIS tissue culture in vitro. In TGCT patients, serum RANKL was not linked with tumor burden, relapse, or other prognostic markers. In conclusion, this study shows that the RANKL signaling system is expressed in GCNIS and seminoma where RANKL inhibition suppress tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Future studies are needed to determine whether RANKL is important for the malignant transformation and the transition from GCNIS to invasive tumors.

Project description:Fibro adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) promote satellite cell differentiation in adult skeletal muscle regeneration. However, in pathological conditions, FAPs are responsible for fibrosis and fatty infiltrations. Here we show that the NOTCH pathway negatively modulates FAP differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. However, FAPs isolated from young dystrophin- deficient mdx mice are insensitive to this control mechanism. An unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of FAPs from muscles of wild type and mdx mice, suggest that the synergistic cooperation between NOTCH and inflammatory signals controls FAP differentiation. Remarkably, we demonstrated that factors released by hematopoietic cells restore the sensitivity to NOTCH adipogenic inhibition in mdx FAPs. These results offer a basis for rationalizing pathological ectopic fat infiltrations in skeletal muscle and may suggest new therapeutic strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of fat depositions in muscles of dystrophic patients.

Project description:Asynchronous skeletal muscle degeneration/regeneration is a hallmark feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD); however, traditional -omics technologies that lack spatial context make it difficult to study the biological mechanisms of how asynchronous regeneration contributes to disease progression. Here, using the severely dystrophic D2-mdx mouse model, we generated a high-resolution cellular and molecular spatial atlas of dystrophic muscle by integrating spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNAseq datasets.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in DMD encoding dystrophin that leads to loss of muscle function with cardiac/respiratory failure and premature death. Since dystrophic muscles are sensed by infiltrating inflammatory cells and gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation and metabolic syndrome, we sought to investigate whether intestinal bacteria may support the muscle immune response in mdx dystrophic animal model. We assess this question here through unbiased profiling of muscle transcriptome through RNAseq. We found that the absence of gut microbes through the generation of a mdx GF animal model as well as modulation of the microbial community structure by antibiotic treatment revealed the ability of the dystrophic-associated intestinal microbiota to modulate immunity and secondary muscle pathogenetic mechanisms of DMD, including inflammation, fibrosis, and atrophy.
