Skeletal muscle TFEB overexpression transcriptionally remodels the mouse hippocampal landscape throughout lifespan in a sex-dependent manner [RNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle has recently arisen as a novel regulator of Central Nervous System (CNS) function and aging, secreting bioactive molecules known as myokines with proteostasis- and metabolism-modifying functions in targeted tissues, including the CNS. We generated a novel transgenic mouse that has overexpression of Transcription Factor E-B (TFEB), a master regulator of proteostasis and lysosomal function, in skeletal muscle. We discovered that the resulting changes in muscle function promotes transcriptional remodeling of the aging CNS, as well as preserves cognition and memory in aging mice. Our results implicate the maintenance of autophagic skeletal muscle signaling throughout aging to the direct regulation of the CNS metabolism and function, and suggest that skeletal muscle originating factors may act as novel therapeutic targets against age-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
