Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate how melatonin-influenced promyogenic factor secreted from fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) regulate muscle regeneration and muscle cell fusion during muscle repair. We highlighted the role of melatonin in regulating crosstalk between muscle stem cells and FAPs during muscle regeneration. Mice that were treated with melatonin exhibited improved muscle regeneration and reduced intramuscular fat deposition, which were associated with enhanced myogenesis, remodeled lipid metabolism and reduced immune cell infiltration. Notably, melatonin did not exert positive effects on cell fusion and myotube formation during differentiation. Interestingly, melatonin repressed fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) adipogenesis in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Furthermore, melatonin treatment enhanced the pro-myogenic effects of FAPs, which stimulated GDF10 secretion to promote muscle cell fusion and induce myotube hypertrophy.

Project description:Myoblast fusion is fundamental for the development of multinucleated myofibers. Evolutionarily conserved proteins required for myoblast fusion include Rac1 and its activator Dock1. Here, we tested the functions of Elmo proteins, Dock1-interacting scaffolds, on myoblast fusion. When Elmo1-/- mice underwent muscle-specific Elmo2 genetic ablation, they exhibited severe myoblast fusion defects. A mutation in the Elmo2 gene that reduced signaling resulted in a decrease in myoblast fusion. Conversely, a mutation in Elmo2 promoting its open conformation increased myoblast fusion during development and in muscle regeneration. Finally, we showed that the dystrophic features of the Dysferlin-null mice, a model of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B, were reversed when expressing Elmo2 in an open conformation. These data provide direct evidence that the myoblast fusion process could be exploited for regenerative and therapeutic purposes.

Project description:Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin signaling is involved in various aspects of skeletal muscle development and regeneration. In addition, Wnt3a and M-NM-2-catenin are required for muscle-specific gene transcription in embryonic carcinoma cells and satellite-cell proliferation during adult skeletal muscle regeneration. Downstream targets of canonical Wnt signaling are cyclin D1 and c-myc. However, both target genes are suppressed during differentiation of mouse myoblast cells, C2C12. Underlying molecular mechanisms of M-NM-2-catenin signaling during myogenic differentiation remain unknown. Using C2C12 cells, we examined intracellular signaling and gene transcription during myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We confirmed that several Wnt signaling components, including Wnt9a, Sfrp2 and porcupine, were consistently upregulated in differentiating C2C12 cells. Troponin T-positive myotubes were decreased by Wnt3a overexpression, but not Wnt4. TOP/FOP reporter assays revealed that co-expression with Wnt4 reduced Wnt3a-induced luciferase activity, suggesting that Wnt4 signaling counteracted Wnt3a signaling in myoblasts. FH535, a small-molecule inhibitor of M-NM-2-catenin/Tcf complex formation, reduced basal M-NM-2-catenin in cytoplasm and decreased myoblast proliferation. K252a, a protein kinase inhibitor, increased membrane-bound M-NM-2-catenin and enhanced myoblast fusion. Treatments with K252a or Wnt4 resulted in increased cytoplasmic vesicles containing phosphorylated M-NM-2-catenin (Tyr654) during myogenic differentiation. These results suggest that various Wnt ligands control subcellular M-NM-2-catenin localization, which regulate myoblast proliferation and myotube formation. Wnt signaling via M-NM-2-catenin likely acts as a molecular switch that regulates the transition from cell proliferation to myogenic differentiation. Control cells (day 0) prior to differentiation induction with n=4; differentiated for two days with n=3; differentiated for four days with n=3.

Project description:DNA methylation plays critical roles in regulating muscle cell fate determination and myogenesis. Tet dioxygenases are responsible for active DNA demethylation. The functions of Tet proteins in muscle regeneration have not been well characterized. Here we find that Tet2 is required for complete regeneration after muscle injury. Loss of Tet2 in myoblasts leads to reduced fusion index and thinner myofibers. Tet2 activates transcription of key differentiation modulator Myogenin (MyoG) further promoting myoblast differentiation and fusion. Re-expressing of MyoG in Tet2 KO myoblasts rescues the differentiation and fusion defects. Further mechanistic analysis reveals that Tet2 facilitates the recruitment of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, increases the chromatin accessibility, and MyoD binding on MyoG enhancer. These functions are specifically executed by Tet2, but not Tet1 and Tet3. We identified the Tet2 specific function during myogenesis and shed new lights on DNA methylation and pioneer transcription factor transcription activation.

Project description:Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling regulates differentiation of many cell types. During myogenesis in particular, p38a MAPK (MAPK14) phosphorylates multiple transcriptional regulators to modulate muscle-specific gene expression. Among the p38a MAPK modulated genes is the muscle-specific transcriptional regulator Myogenin (Myog) that is also essential to complete the muscle differentiation program, and while it is known that both p38a MAPK and Myog are critically required for myogenesis, the individual contribution of each of these proteins is poorly defined. Here we show that Myog expression (in the absence of p38a MAPK signaling) is sufficient to establish expression of many late markers of muscle differentiation and to mediate cell migration. However, Myog expression alone did not led to the formation of multinucleated muscle cells, highlighting a critical role for p38a MAPK in myoblast fusion. Using comparative microarray analysis we identified p38a MAPK-dependent genes that are not regulated by Myog We generated a stable C2C12-derived cell line (C2i-Myog) that expresses a Doxycycline (Dox)-inducible cDNA encoding Flag-tagged Myog. In this system, the chemical induction of exogenous Myog (Dox) combined with the pharmacological inhibition of p38a/b MAPK signaling by SB203580 (SB) would allow us to assess the functional contribution of these two pathways during myogenesis

Project description:Circadian rhythms regulate cell differentiation and tissue regeneration; however, their implications in tissue regeneration remain elusive. Here, we present evidence that tissue regeneration efficiency is dependent on the circadian timing of injury affliction in a mouse model of muscle injury. We found that depletion of Per1 or Per2, members of the core circadian regulators in vertebrates, impaired mouse muscle regeneration and myoblast differentiation. Both Per1 and Per2 were necessary to maintain the expression level of Igf2, one of the critical regulators for myoblast differentiation, through epigenetic regulation at the Igf2 promoter and enhancer. Reflecting this, myoblast differentiation was promoted when differentiation was initiated while the level of Pers and Igf2 were high, compared with the time when their expression levels were low. Furthermore, muscle regeneration in the mouse was more efficient when chemical injury was inflicted at night when Pers were highly expressed, compared with morning injury. This study uncovers circadian timing-based control of myoblast differentiation and muscle regeneration.
