Project description:Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to SC senescence during aging. Here we demonstrate the importance of cellular NAD+ level and its impact on mitochondrial activity as a pivotal switch to modulate muscle stem cell (MuSC) senescence. Importantly, the induction of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and of prohibitin proteins, subsequent to increasing cellular NAD+ with the precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR), rejuvenates MuSCs in aged mice. NR also prevents MuSCs senescence in Mdx mice, a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. Extending these observations to other SC pools and on the organism as a whole, we demonstrate that NR delays neural stem cell (NSC) and melanocyte stem cell (McSC) senescence, while also increasing mouse lifespan. Strategies that conserve cellular NAD+ could therefore be utilized to reprogram dysfunctional SCs in aging and disease to improve lifespan in mammals

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle function crucially depends on motor innervation and after injury on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, it is poorly understood how innervation affects MuSC properties. Methods: We investigated the alterations of MuSCs and their immediate niche, the myofiber, after denervation in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to transcriptomics and proteomics analyses to investigate which changes occur after denervation. We performed Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, MuSC transplantation and floating myofiber cultures to assess MuSC functionality after denervation in addition to bioinformatics and histological analyses. Results: We observed a significant increase in the number of MuSCs (Pax7 positive; p-value= 0.0441), proliferating MuSCs (Pax7/Ki67 positive; p-value= 0.0023), activated MuSCs (MyoD positive; p-value= 0.0016) and differentiating MuSCs (Myog positive; p-value= 0.0057) after denervation. This aberrant activation and premature commitment of MuSCs to the myogenic lineage was accompanied by profound alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, adj. p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level after denervation. MuSCs from denervated hosts still engrafted and fused to form new myofibers irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient, suggesting the MuSC niche is driving alterations in MuSCs after denervation. The myofiber transcriptome after denervation showed massive changes in the general expression profile (10492 DEGs, p-value <0.05) and in several predicted secreted factors. Incubation of myofiber-associated MuSCs with supernatant from denervated myofibers increased cluster formation, reinforcing myofibers as a source of secreted factors driving MuSC alterations after denervation. Opn and Tgfb1 showed an increased secretion by denervated myofibers (30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively), and incubation with Tgfb1 alone induced Junb expression in myogenic cells, one of the genes highly upregulated in MuSCs after denervation (p-value= 1.85e-18, log2fc= 3.27), demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands influence MuSC gene expression. A combination of skeletal muscle injury and denervation led to reduced numbers of proliferating MuSCs (Sham: 47 vs DEN: 19.75 cells per cross section 10 days post-injury) and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers 21 days post-injury), indicating hampered MuSC functionality due to changes in the microenvironment. Conclusion: Denervation of skeletal muscle causes alterations in myofiber secretion, leading to activation and profound changes of MuSCs, ultimately resulting in a reduced regenerative capacity. As these alterations are partially reversible, MuSCs are a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.

Project description:Adult skeletal muscle regeneration is mainly driven by muscle stem cells (MuSCs), which are highly heterogeneous. Although recent studies have started to characterize the heterogeneity of MuSCs, whether a subset of cells with distinct exists within MuSCs remains unanswered. Here, we found that a population of MuSCs, marked by Gli1 expression, is required for muscle regeneration. The Gli1+ MuSC population displayed advantages in proliferation and differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. Depletion of this population led to delayed muscle regeneration, while transplanted Gli1+ MuSCs supported muscle regeneration more effectively than Gli1- MuSCs. Further analysis revealed that even in the uninjured muscle, Gli1+ MuSCs had elevated mTOR signaling activity, increased cell size and mitochondrial numbers compared to Gli1- MuSCs, indicating Gli1+ MuSCs are displaying the features of primed MuSCs. Moreover, Gli1+ MuSCs greatly contributed to the formation of GAlert cells after muscle injury. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that Gli1+ MuSCs represent a distinct MuSC population which is more active in the homeostatic muscle and enters the cell cycle shortly after injury. This cell population functions as the tissue-resident sentinel that rapidly responds to injury and initiates muscle regeneration.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSC) exhibit distinct behaviors during successive phases of developmental myogenesis. However, how their transition to adulthood is regulated is poorly understood. Here we show that fetal MuSC resist progenitor specification and exhibit altered division dynamics, intrinsic features that are progressively lost postnatally. Following transplantation, fetal MuSC more efficiently expand and contribute to muscle repair. Conversely, the efficiency of niche colonization increases in adulthood, indicating a balance between muscle growth and stem cell pool repopulation. Gene expression profiling identified several extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules preferentially expressed in fetal MuSC, including tenascin-C, fibronectin and collagen VI. Loss-of-function experiments confirmed their essential and stage-specific role in regulating MuSC function. Finally, fetal-derived paracrine factors were able to enhance adult MuSC regenerative potential. Together, these findings demonstrate that MuSC change the way in which they remodel their microenvironment to direct stem cell behavior in support of the unique demands of muscle development or repair. MuSCs were isolated through fluorescent-activate cell sorting usinf alpha7-integirn and CD34 as markers to identify the cell population. Total mRNA was then isolated, and samples at different developmental times were compared.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) but the underlying triggers remain unclear. We systematically combined acute mitochondrial inhibitors with genetic tools for compartment-specific NADH oxidation to trace mechanisms linking different forms of mitochondrial dysfunction to the ISR in proliferating mouse myoblasts and in differentiated myotubes. In myoblasts, we find that impaired NADH oxidation upon electron transport chain (ETC) inhibition depletes asparagine, activating the ISR via the eIF2α kinase GCN2. In myotubes, however, impaired NADH oxidation following ETC inhibition neither depletes asparagine nor activates the ISR, reflecting an altered metabolic state. ATP synthase inhibition in myotubes triggers the ISR via a distinct mechanism related to mitochondrial inner-membrane hyperpolarization. Our work dispels the notion of a universal path linking mitochondrial dysfunction to the ISR, instead revealing multiple paths that depend both on the nature of the mitochondrial defect and on the metabolic state of the cell.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle crucially depends on motor innervation, and, when damaged, on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, the role and function of MuSCs in the context of denervation remains poorly understood. Methods: Alterations of MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation were investigated in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry for the analysis of intrinsic changes after denervation and in vivo assays, such as Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury or MuSC transplantation, were performed to assess MuSC functions after denervation. Bioinformatic and histological analyses were conducted to further examine MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation. Results: Muscle cross section analysis revealed a significant increase in Pax7 (p-value= 0.0441), Pax7/Ki67 (p-value= 0.0023), MyoD (p-value= 0.0016) and Myog (p-value= 0.0057) positive cells after denervation, illustrating a break of quiescence and commitment to the myogenic lineage. An Omics approach showed profound intrinsic alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level of MuSCs 21 days after denervation. Skeletal muscle injury together with denervation surgery caused deregulated regeneration, indicated by the reduced number of proliferating MuSCs and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers), at 21 days post-surgery. In a transplantation assay, MuSCs from a denervated host were still able to engraft and fuse to form new myofibers, irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient muscle. Analysis of myofibers revealed not only massive changes in the expression profile (10492 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) after denervation, but it was also shown that secretion of Opn and Tgfb1 from denervated myofibers was increased 30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively. Bioinformatic analyses indicated strong upregulation of gene expression of the transcription factor Junb in MuSCs from denervated muscles (log2 fold change = 3.27). Of interest, Tgfb1 recombinant protein was able to induce Junb gene expression in vitro, demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands can induce gene expression changes in MuSCs, which might result in the phenotypes observed after denervation. Conclusion: Skeletal muscle denervation is altering myofiber secretion, causing MuSC activation and profound intrinsic changes, leading to reduced regenerative capacity. As MuSCs possess a remarkable regenerative potential, they might represent a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.

Project description:SRC-1 affects the expression of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, a set of enzymes responsible for the conversion of NADH to NAD(+). NAD(+) and NADH were subsequently identified as metabolites that underlie SRC-1's response to glucose deprivation. Knockdown of SRC-1 in glycolytic cancer cells abrogated their ability to grow in the absence of glucose consistent with SRC-1's role in promoting cellular adaptation to reduced glucose availability RNA profiling was used to examine the effects of SRC-1 perturbation on gene expression in the absence or presence of glucose.
