The MuSK-BMP pathway maintains myofiber size in slow muscle through regulation of Akt-mTOR signaling

ABSTRACT: Myofiber size regulation is critical in health, disease, and aging. MuSK (muscle-specific kinase) is a BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) co-receptor that promotes and shapes BMP signaling that is expressed at all neuromuscular junctions and is also present extrasynaptically in the slow soleus muscle. To investigate the role of the MuSK-BMP pathway in vivo we generated mice lacking the BMP-binding MuSK Ig3 domain. These ∆Ig3-MuSK mice are viable and fertile with innervation levels comparable to wild type. In 3-month-old mice myofibers are smaller in the slow soleus, but not in the fast TA. Here we use bulk RNA-seq to perform transcriptomic analysis of slow and fast mouse muscle. RNAseq analysis revealed soleus-selective decreases in RNA metabolism and protein synthesis pathways as well as dysregulation of IGF1 pathway components. Moreover, Akt-mTOR signaling is reduced in soleus but not TA. We propose that the MuSK-BMP pathway acts extrasynaptically to maintain myofiber size in slow muscle by promoting protein synthetic pathways including the IGF1-Akt-mTOR signaling. These results reveal a novel mechanism for regulating myofiber size in slow muscle and introduce the MuSK-BMP pathway as a target for promoting muscle growth and combatting atrophy.

Expression data from untreated vs. BMP4-treated cultured wild-type and MuSK null muscle cells (myoblasts and myotubes)

Project description:Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) function in virtually all tissues with cell-type specific outcomes. Since there are a relatively small number of BMP receptors this exquisite signaling specificity requires additional molecules to regulate the output of this pathway. We demonstrated that the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK that is selectively expressed in muscle and plays a critical role in synapse formation and maintenance binds to BMP4 and related BMPs. Since BMPs regulate the transcription of a set of genes, we performed microarrays for wild-type and MuSK null muscle cells to test if MuSK regulates BMP responses in muscle cells. We shought to determine if MuSK regulates BMP responses in muscle cells and if the cell context made any difference in MuSK regulation of BMP pathway. To test this, expression profiles of untreated vs. BMP4-treated undifferentiated myoblast and differentiated myotube cultures were generated for both wild-type and MuSK-null genotypes. All conditions were done in triplicates. In total 24 arrays were analyzed.

Bridging the muscle genome to phenome across multiple biological scales

Project description:Muscle is highly hierarchically organized, with functions shaped by genetically controlled expression of protein ensembles with different isoform profiles at the sarcomere scale. However, it remains unclear how isoform profiles shape whole-muscle performance. We compared two mouse hindlimb muscles, the slow, relatively parallel-fibered soleus and the faster, more pennate-fibered tibialis anterior (TA), across scales: from gene regulation, isoform expression and translation speed, to force-length-velocity-power for intact muscles. Expression of myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoforms directly corresponded with contraction velocity. The fast-twitch TA with fast MHC isoforms had faster unloaded velocities (actin sliding velocity, Vactin; peak fiber velocity, Vmax) than the slow-twitch soleus. For the soleus, Vactin was biased towards Vactin for purely slow MHC I, despite this muscle's even fast and slow MHC isoform composition. Our multi-scale results clearly identified a consistent and significant dampening in fiber shortening velocities for both muscles, underscoring an indirect correlation between Vactin and fiber Vmax that may be influenced by differences in fiber architecture, along with internal loading due to both passive and active effects. These influences correlate with the increased peak force and power in the slightly more pennate TA, leading to a broader length range of near-optimal force production. Conversely, a greater force-velocity curvature in the near-parallel fibered soleus highlights the fine-tuning by molecular-scale influences including myosin heavy and light chain expression along with whole-muscle characteristics. Our results demonstrate that the individual gene, protein and whole-fiber characteristics do not directly reflect overall muscle performance but that intricate fine-tuning across scales shapes specialized muscle function.

Identification of differentially expressed genes and pathways for myofiber characteristics in soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles between chicken breeds differing in meat quality

Project description:In the modern chicken industry, fast-growing broilers have undergone strong artificial selection for muscle growth, which has led to remarkable phenotypic variations compared with slow-growing chickens. However, the molecular mechanism underlying these phenotypes differences remains unknown. In this study, a systematic identification of candidate genes and new pathways related to myofiber development and composition in chicken Soleus muscle has been made using gene expression profiles of two distinct breeds: Qingyuan partridge (QY), a slow-growing Chinese breed possessing high meat quality and Cobb 500 (CB), a commercial fast-growing broiler line. Agilent cDNA microarray analyses were conducted to determine gene expression profiles of soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle sampled at sexual maturity age of QY (112 d) and CB (42 d).

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis between SOL and EDL Muscle in Yorkshire pigs using Affymetrix microarray

Project description:Skeletal muscle is heterogeneous in nature and distinguished as red muscle and white muscle because of their myofiber composition. Soleus (SOL) is a typical red muscle and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) is a typical white muscle. In this study, we compared the transcriptome difference of soleus and extensor digitorum longus from three 10-week-old Yorkshire boars with porcine Affymetrix microarray.

Differences in gene expression between fast and slow muscle or between normal and denervated slow muscles

Differences in gene expression between fast and slow muscle or between normal and denervated slow muscles

Project description:Fast and slow skeletal muscles show different characteristics and phenotypes. This data obtained from microarray includes the comparison of normal fast plantaris and slow soleus muscles of adult rats. Characters of slow muscle are strongly dependent on the level of muscular activity. Denervation silences the muscular activity. Therefore, we determined the effects of denervation on gene expression in slow soleus muscle of adult rats. Denervation was performed by transection (~5 mm) of left sciatic nerve at the gluteal level. No treatments were made in the normal control rats. Sampling of soleus and/or plantaris was performed in both normal and experimental groups 28 days after the surgery.
