Project description:Progressive mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) deficiency is associated with a wide spectrum of adult-onset degenerative diseases, as well as with normal aging. We have previously generated the Deletor mice to model late-onset progressive RC defects. Here we report novel tissue-specific pathways contributing to mitochondrial disease pathogenesis, identified by gene expression analysis. We found that RC-deficient muscle fibers secrete the fasting-induced hormone, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). This response leads to fatty acid recruitment from adipocytes and resistance to high-fat-diet induced obesity in mice, but does not affect glucose or insulin metabolism. FGF21 is also induced in the muscle of mitochondrial myopathy patients and in other RC-deficient mice. These data show that skeletal muscle is an endocrine organ, which signals its energy deficiency through FGF21. Furthermore, RC deficiency in single muscle fibers initiates a global starvation response. These data have important implications for conditions with primary or secondary RC deficiency. Mice overexpressing mutant Twinkle (C10ORF2) protein are the first animal model for Progressive External Ophtalmoplegia (PEO). Using PEO-model and wt-mice, skeletal muscle (quadriceps femoris) was analyzed for gene expression profile.

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterised by a progressive degeneration and weakness of skeletal muscle fibers attributed to inappropriate expression of the transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4). However, the cellular events that precede pathology in DUX4 expressing muscle fibers remain incompletely understood. Using recombinant AAV vectors to activate species-specific DUX transcription factors in murine and human skeletal muscle fibers, we developed models for examining DUX4-induced pathology. RNA-sequencing prior to the onset of muscle pathology reveals that perturbation of metabolic and mitochondrial function is an early event following activation of DUX transcription factors across species. A reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential was confirmed following DUX4 activation in human muscle fibers prior to reductions in force generating capacity. These studies present new models that can be used to delineate the changes in biological processes following acute DUX4 activation in mouse and human skeletal muscle fibers, for greater insight into the pathogenesis of FSHD, and support further investigation of mitochondrial function as a therapeutic target in FSHD.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a key metabolic regulator which was recently discovered as stress-induced myokine and common denominator of muscle mitochondrial disease. However, its precise function and pathophysiological relevance remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that white adipose tissue (WAT) is the major target of muscle mitochondrial stress-induced FGF21. Strikingly, substantial browning and metabolic remodeling of subcutaneous WAT, together with the reduction of circulating triglycerides and cholesterol are fully FGF21 dependent. Unexpectedly and in contrast to prior expectations, we found a negligible role of FGF21 in muscle stress-related improved glycemic control, obesity resistance and hepatic lipid homeostasis. Furthermore, we show that the protective muscle mitohormesis and metabolic stress adaptation does not require FGF21 action. Taken together, our data imply that although FGF21 drives WAT remodeling, this effect and FGF21 as stress hormone per se may not be essential for the adaptive response under muscle mitochondrial stress conditions. Wildtype male mice and FGF21-knockout male mice, together with muscle specific UCP1-transgenic male animals, and double cross of FGF21-KO with UCP1-Tg male mice, were kept on a standardized low fat diet for 40 weeks. After sacrifice, subcutaneous white adipose tisseu (scWAT) was rapidly removed, weighed, and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and used for RNA isolation and whole genome gene expression microarray hybridisation using Agilent arrays.

Project description:Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins regulate mitochondrial quality control and mitochondrial metabolism. In turn, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging, although its causes are still under debate. Here, we show that aging is characterized by a progressive reduction of Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) in mouse skeletal muscle and that skeletal muscle Mfn2 ablation in mice generates a gene signature linked to aging. Furthermore, muscle Mfn2-deficient mice show unhealthy aging characterized by altered metabolic homeostasis and sarcopenia. Mfn2 deficiency impairs mitochondrial quality control, which contributes to an exacerbated age-related mitochondrial dysfunction. Surprisingly, aging-induced Mfn2 deficiency triggers a ROS-dependent retrograde signaling pathway through induction of HIF1 transcription factor and BNIP3. This pathway ameliorates mitochondrial autophagy and minimizes mitochondrial damage. Our findings reveal that repression of Mfn2 in skeletal muscle during aging is determinant for the loss of mitochondrial quality, contributing to age-associated metabolic alterations and loss of muscle fitness. Quadriceps muscle from four mice per genotype were used (Control young (6 month-old), Mfn2KO young (6-month-old), control old (22-month-old) and Mfn2KO old (22-month-old)

Project description:Primary mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) diseases are heterogeneous in etiology and manifestations but collectively impair cellular energy metabolism. To identify a common cellular response to RC disease, systems biology level transcriptome investigations were performed in human RC disease skeletal muscle and fibroblasts. Global transcriptional and post-transcriptional dysregulation in a tissue-specific fashion was identified across diverse RC complex and genetic etiologies. RC disease muscle was characterized by decreased transcription of cytosolic ribosomal proteins to reduce energy-intensive anabolic processes, increased transcription of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, shortened 5'-UTRs to improve translational efficiency, and stabilization of 3'-UTRs containing AU-rich elements. These same modifications in a reversed direction typified RC disease fibroblasts. RC disease also dysregulated transcriptional networks related to basic nutrient-sensing signaling pathways, which collectively mediate many aspects of tissue-specific cellular responses to primary RC disease. These findings support the utility of a systems biology approach to improve mechanistic understanding of mitochondrial RC disease. To identify a common cellular response to primary RC that might improve mechanistic understanding and lead to targeted therapies for human RC disease, we performed collective transcriptome profiling in skeletal muscle biopsy specimens and fibroblast cell lines (FCLs) of a diverse cohort of human mitochondrial disease subjects relative to controls. Systems biology investigations of common cellular responses to primary RC disease revealed a collective pattern of transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational dysregulation occurring in a highly tissue-specific fashion. Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0ST microarray analysis was performed on 29 skeletal muscle samples and Fibroblast cell lines from mitochondrial disease patients and age- and gender-matched controls.

Project description:Mechanosensing is required for the senses of touch and hearing, and impacts on cellular processes such as cell differentiation, migration, invasion and tissue homeostasis. Mechanical inputs give rise to p38- and JNK-signaling, which mediates adaptive physiological responses in various tissues. In muscle, fiber contraction-induced p38 and JNK signaling ensures adaptation to exercise, muscle repair and hypertrophy. However, the mechanism by which muscle fibers sense mechanical load to activate this signaling, as well as the physiological roles of mechanical stress sensing more broadly, have remained elusive. Here, we show that the upstream MAP3K ZAK is a sensor of cellular compression induced by osmotic shock and cyclic compression in vitro, and muscle contraction in vivo. This function relies on ZAK’s ability to recognize stress fibers in cells and the corresponding Z-discs in muscle fibers, when under tension. Consequently, ZAK-deficient mice present with skeletal muscle defects characterized by fibers with centralized nuclei and progressive adaptation towards a slower myosin profile. Our results highlight how cells in general sense mechanical compressive load, and how mechanical forces generated during muscle contraction are translated into MAP kinase signaling.

Project description:Myostatin (MSTN) has been discovered as a critical regulator of muscle mass. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in its functions in metabolism. Here, we specific knocked out MSTN in brown adipose tissue (BAT) (MSTNΔUCP1), and found that the MSTNΔUCP1 mice gained more weight than controls on high-fat diet, with progressive hepatosteatosis, and impaired skeletal muscle activity. RNA-seq analysis indicated signatures of mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in MSTN-ablation BAT. Further studies demonstrated that KLF4 is required for the metabolic phenotypes and FGF21 contributes to the microenvironment communication between adipocytes and macrophages induced by loss of MSTN in BAT. Moreover, MSTN-SMAD2/3-p38 signaling pathway mediated the expression of KLF4 and FGF21 in adipocytes. Taken together, brown adipocytes-derived MSTN governs metabolic niche in BAT and regulates systemic energy homeostasis.
