Compensatory mechanisms in non-muscle organs in myotubular myopathy

ABSTRACT: X-Linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM), is associated with very severe muscle weakness and reduced life expectancy. Liver dysfunction was also reported. The pathomechanism and the impact of non-muscular defects affecting survival are barely known. Here, we investigated organ-specific effects of XLMTM in the faithful Mtm1-/y mouse model. We performed RNA-sequencing to identify a shared mechanism in several skeletal muscles, and to investigate potential phenotypes and/or compensation in heart and liver. The cardiac and hepatic function and structural integrity were also studied in vivo and in vitro. There was no defect in liver function and morphology. A disease signature shared across several skeletal muscles including diaphragm highlighted dysregulations of muscle development, inflammation, cell adhesion and oxidative phosphorylation as main pathomechanisms. Heart displayed only slight functional alterations without obvious structural defects. An opposite dysregulation of specific pathways in cardiac compared to skeletal muscles was revealed at the transcriptome level. More specifically, biochemical and cellular experiments demonstrated that OXPHOS mitochondrial function, cell adhesion and beta integrin trafficking were strongly affected in skeletal muscle and normal in cardiac muscle. Moreover, biomarkers reflecting the molecular activity of MTM1, such as PtdIns3P and dynamin 2 levels, were increased in the skeletal muscles but not in cardiac muscle. Overall, these data identified a compensatory mechanism preserving cardiac function, indicating therapeutic targets to cure the severe skeletal muscle defects in XLMTM.

Natural history of a mouse model of X-linked myotubular myopathy

Project description:X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a severe monogenetic disorder of the skeletal muscle. It is caused by loss-of-expression/function mutations in the myotubularin (MTM1) gene. Much of what is known about the disease, as well as the treatment strategies, has been uncovered through experimentation in pre-clinical models, particularly the Mtm1 gene knockout mouse line (Mtm1 KO). Despite this understanding, and the identification of potential therapies, much remains to be understood about XLMTM disease pathomechanisms, and about the normal functions of MTM1 in muscle development. To lay the groundwork for addressing these knowledge gaps, we performed a natural history study of Mtm1 KO mice. This included longitudinal comparative analyses of motor phenotype, transcriptome and proteome profiles, muscle structure and targeted molecular pathways.We identified age-associated changes in gene expression, mitochondrial function, myofiber size and key molecular markers, including DNM2. Importantly, some molecular and histopathologic changes preceded overt phenotypic changes, while others, such as triad structural alternations, occurred coincidentally with the presence of severe weakness. In total, this study provides a comprehensive longitudinal evaluation of the murine XLMTM disease process, and thus provides a critical framework for future investigations.

Oxidative posttranslational modifications of cysteine are associated to high intrinsic aerobic capacity in the skeletal and cardiac muscle

Project description:Oxidative posttranslational modifications (Ox-PTMs) regulate cellular homeostasis in several tissues, including skeletal and cardiac muscles. The putative relationship between Ox-PTMs and intrinsic components of oxidative energy metabolism has not been previously described. We determined the metabolic phenotype and the Ox-PTM profile in the skeletal and cardiac muscles of rats selected for low (LCR) or high (HCR) intrinsic aerobic capacity. The HCR rats have a pronounced increase in mitochondrial content and antioxidant capacity when compared to LCR rats in the skeletal muscle, but only modest changes in the cardiac muscle. Redox proteomics analysis reveals that HCR and LCR rats have different Ox-PTM of cysteine (Cys) residue profile in the skeletal and cardiac muscles. HCR rats have higher number of oxidized Cys residues in the skeletal muscle and conversely display higher number of reduced Cys residues in the cardiac muscle than LCR rats. Most of the proteins with differentially oxidized Cys residues in the skeletal muscle are important regulators of the oxidative metabolism. The most significantly oxidized protein in the skeletal muscle of HCR rats is malate dehydrogenase (MDH1). Interestingly, HCR rats show higher MDH1 activity in the skeletal muscle, but not in the cardiac muscle. Thus, this study uncovers an association between Ox-PTMs and intrinsic aerobic capacity, providing new insights into the role of Ox-PTMs as essential signaling to maintain metabolic homeostasis in different muscle types.

Loss of Mtm1 causes cholestatic liver disease in a model of X-linked myotubular myopathy

Project description:X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a fatal congenital disorder caused by mutations in the MTM1 gene. Currently, there are no approved treatments, though AAV8-mediated gene transfer therapy has shown promise in animal models and preliminarily in patients. However, four patients with XLMTM treated with gene therapy have died from progressive liver failure, and hepatobiliary disease has now been recognized more broadly in association with XLMTM. In an attempt to understand whether loss of MTM1 itself is associated with liver pathology, we have characterized a novel liver phenotype in a zebrafish model of this disease. Specifically, we have found that loss-of-function mutations in mtm1 lead to severe liver abnormalities including impaired bile flux, structural abnormalities of the bile canaliculus, and improper endosomal-mediated trafficking of canalicular transporters. Using a reporter tagged Mtm1 zebrafish line, we have established localization of Mtm1 in the liver in association with Rab11 and canalicular transport proteins, and demonstrated that hepatocyte specific re-expression of Mtm1 can rescue the cholestatic phenotype. Lastly, we completed a targeted chemical screen, and found that Dynasore, a dynamin II inhibitor, is able to partially restore bile flow and transporter localization to the canalicular membrane. In summary, we demonstrate for the first time liver abnormalities that are directly caused by MTM1 mutation in a pre-clinical model, thus establishing the critical framework for better understanding and comprehensive treatment of the human disease.

X-linked myotubular myopathy is associated with epigenetic alterations and is ameliorated by HDAC inhibition

Project description:X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder caused by loss of function mutations in MTM1 . At present, there are no directed therapies for XLMTM, and incomplete understanding of disease pathomechanisms. To address these knowledge gaps, we performed a drug screen in mtm1 mutant zebrafish andidentified four positive hits, including valproic acid, which functions as a potent suppressor of the mtm1 zebrafish phenotype via HDAC inhibition. We translated these findings to a mouse XLMTM model, and showed that valproic acid ameliorates the murine phenotype.

Mechanisms associated with systemic effects of cancer

Project description:Cancer is considered as a disease of a specific organ, but its effects are felt throughout the body. The systemic effects of cancer can lead to weakness in muscles and heart, which hastens cancer-associated death. miR-486 is a myogenic microRNA and its reduced expression in skeletal muscle is observed in muscular dystrophy. Muscle-specific transgenic expression of miR-486 using muscle creatine kinase promoter (MCK-miR-486) partially rescues skeletal muscle defects in muscular dystrophy animal models. We had previously demonstrated reduced circulating and skeletal muscle levels of miR-486 in several cancer types and lower miR-486 levels correlated with skeletal muscle defects and functional limitations in mammary tumor models. Therefore, skeletal muscle defects induced by cancer could resemble defects observed in various dystrophies, which could be reversed through skeletal muscle expression of miR-486. We performed functional limitations studies and biochemical analysis of skeletal muscles of MMTV-Neu transgenic mice that mimic HER2+ breast cancer and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice that mimic luminal subtype B breast cancer and these mice crossed to MCK-miR-486 transgenic mice. miR-486 significantly prevented tumor-induced reduction in muscle contraction force, grip strength, and rotarod performance in MMTV-Neu, but not in MMTV-PyMT mice. In MMTV-Neu model, miR-486 reversed several of the cancer-induced changes in skeletal muscle including loss of p53, phospho-AKT, and phospho-laminin alpha 2 (LAMA2) and gain of phosphorylation of the pre-mRNA processing factor hnRNPA0 and the splicing factor SRSF10. LAMA2 is a part of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex, and its loss-of-function mutation is associated with congenital muscular dystrophy. Thus, similar to muscular dystrophy, miR-486 has the potential to reverse skeletal muscle defects and cancer burden in select cancer types.

Mechanisms associated with systemic effects of cancer

Project description:Cancer is considered as a disease of a specific organ, but its effects are felt throughout the body. The systemic effects of cancer can lead to weakness in muscles and heart, which hastens cancer-associated death. The majority of preclinical studies, including our own, on cancer-induced skeletal muscle defects utilized mouse models and C2C12 myoblast cell line of mouse origin (>7,700 publications). However, a recent study reported distinct metabolic pathways in mouse compared to human. For example, while higher fasting circulating levels of glucose in human is associated with shortened lifespan, it is associated with longer lifespan in mouse. Since the metabolic activity of the skeletal muscle primarily determines circulating glucose levels, skeletal muscle in mouse and human may function differently and not all skeletal muscle defects noted in tumor-bearing mice may not translate into human. Therefore, we developed a robust human model system using human muscle stem cells to understand cancer-induced skeletal muscle defects in human. We found conditioned media from breast cancer cell lines affected cell molecular biomarkers (e.g. PAX7 annd MyOD) and cell surface markers (e.g. CD82, CD54 and CD90) which were associated with dynamic changes of mRNAs, proteins and peptides in human muscle stem cells or human myotubes differentiated from human muscle stem cells. This study will help in cost-effective discovery of drugs that are effective irrespective genetic ancestry and reveal utility of two class of drugs to overcome cancer-induced skeletal muscle defects

MicroRNAome of pig adipose and muscle tissues

Project description:Although the well-known importance of pig in agriculture, as well as a model for human biology, the miRNA catalog of pig has been largely undefined. Identification and preliminary characterization of adipose- and muscle-specific miRNAs would be a prerequisite for a thorough understanding of their roles in regulating adipose deposition and muscle growth. In the present study, we get insight into the miRNA transcriptome in eight adipose tissues, two skeletal muscles and cardiac muscle of pig using deep sequencing technology, and to elucidate their characteristic tissue-specific profiles and genomic context. Eleven small RNA libraries from eight adipose tissues, two skeletal muscle tissues and cardiac muscle of pig were sequenced.

Human skeletal muscle CD90+ fibro-adipogenic progenitors are associated with muscle degeneration in type 2 diabetic patients

Project description:Aging and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with impaired skeletal muscle function and degeneration of the skeletal muscle microenvironment. However, the origin and mechanisms underlying the degeneration are not well described in human skeletal muscle. Here we show that skeletal muscles of T2DM patients exhibit pathological degenerative remodeling of the extracellular matrix that was associated with a selective increase of a subpopulation of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) marked by expression of THY1 (CD90).

Lack of glycogenin causes glycogen accumulation andmuscle function impairment

Project description:Glycogenin is considered essential for glycogen synthesis as it acts as a primer for the initiation of the polysaccharide. In this study, we challenge this notion and demonstrate that glycogen can be synthesized in vivo in the absence of glycogenin. Glycogenin-deficient mice (Gyg KO) accumulate high amounts of the polysaccharide in skeletal and cardiac striated muscles. This glycogen shows no covalently bound protein, thereby indicating that no protein primer is essential for glycogen synthesis. Gyg KO mice show lower resting energy expenditure and lesser resistance when subjected to endurance exercise than control animals, which can be attributed to a switch of oxidative myofibers toward glycolytic metabolism. This switch is caused by the over-accumulation of glycogen, since mice overexpressing glycogen synthase specifically in skeletal muscle show a similar metabolic alteration. These results may explain the muscular defects of GSD XV patients, who show high glycogen accumulation in striated muscles.

ACVR2B antagonism preserves skeletal muscle and cardiac function in metastatic colorectal cancer

Project description:Advanced colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide and is often accompanied by the development of liver metastases, as well as cachexia, a multi-organ wasting syndrome inclusive of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Activin receptor type 2B (ACVR2B)-mediated signaling participates in causing skeletal wasting in several disease conditions, and its inhibition restores skeletal muscle mass and prolongs survival in cancer cacehxia. Here we wanted to asses whether ACVR2B antagonism could preserve skeletal and cardiac muscle mass and function in a model of metastatic colorectal cancer.
