The androgen receptor in mesenchymal progenitors regulates skeletal muscle mass via Igf1 expression in male mice.

ABSTRACT: Androgens exert their effects primarily by binding to the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor. While androgens have anabolic effects on skeletal muscle, previous studies reported that AR functions in myofibers to regulate skele- tal muscle quality, rather than skeletal muscle mass. Therefore, the anabolic effects of androgens are exerted via nonmyofiber cells. In this context, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AR in mesenchymal progenitors, which play a crucial role in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis, remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated expression of AR in mesenchymal progenitors and found that targeted AR ablation in mesenchymal progenitors reduced limb muscle mass in mature adult, but not young or aged, male mice, although fatty infiltration of muscle was not affected. The absence of AR in mesenchymal progenitors led to remarkable perineal muscle hypotrophy, regard- less of age, due to abnormal regulation of transcripts associated with cell death and extracellular matrix organization. Additionally, we revealed that AR in mesenchymal progenitors regulates the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) and that IGF1 administration prevents perineal muscle atrophy in a paracrine manner. These findings indicate that the anabolic effects of androgens regulate skeletal muscle mass via, at least in part, AR signaling in mesenchymal progenitors.

The Androgen Receptor Modulates Expression of Genes with Critical Roles in Muscle Development and Function

Project description:Androgen signaling through the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor within the steroid receptor superfamily, plays an important role in the development and maintenance of many tissues. In muscle, androgens act as anabolic agents that increase both muscle mass and strength; however, a key unanswered question is the mechanism through which AR-mediated gene expression leads to these effects. To gain further insight into the mechanism of AR action in muscle, we identified AR binding sites in primary human muscle cells using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by tiling microarray detection (ChIP-on-Chip). Through this analysis, we identified 32,518 potential AR binding sites throughout the genome that were enriched upon androgen treatment. Sequence analysis of these regions indicated that approximately 90% possess a consensus androgen response element or half-site. Among the identified AR binding sites are genes known to be directly regulated by AR, confirming the validity of our methodology. Additionally, we identified a number of novel AR targets, including genes and microRNAs implicated in muscle differentiation and function, suggesting a direct role for AR-mediated transcription in muscle development. Intriguingly, binding sequences for the Mef2 family of transcription factors were enriched in the AR-bound regions, and we show that several Mef2c-dependent genes are direct targets of AR, suggesting a functional interaction between Mef2c and AR in skeletal muscle. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms by which androgens promote muscle growth, and validate AR as a potential therapeutic target for sarcopenia, muscle wasting, and other androgen-related muscle disorders.

Identification of the target genes of androgen in skeletal muscle using myofiber specific ARKO female mice

Project description:Androgens have a strong effect against skeletal muscles to increase muscle mass and strength. However, a molecular mechanism of AR action on muscle strength is not clear. To identify the target genes of AR in skeletal muscle, we generated myofiber specific ARKO using HSA-Cre and AR flox mice (cARKO). Nine-week-old female control and cARKO mice were treated with or without DHT for 4 weeks. After euthenization, gastrocunemius muscle were collected and total RNA were extracted.

Translational control of skeletal muscle mass by the transcriptional repressor BCL6

Project description:Using mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq in muscle tissue, we found that BCL6 controls a broad range of anabolic targets, directly suppressing eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (Eif4epb1) and myostatin (Mstn) while enhancing insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) and androgen receptor (Ar). Consistent with these gene regulatory effects, skeletal muscle ablation of Bcl6 increased physical association of the translation initiation factor eIF4E with its inhibitor EIF4E-BP1 and ribosomal sequencing in vivo revealed reduced translation efficiency.

Overcoming Resistance to Anabolic SARM therapy in Experimental Cancer Cachexia with an HDAC Inhibitor

Project description:No approved therapy exists for cancer-associated cachexia. The colon-26 mouse model of cancer cachexia mimics recent late stage clinical failures of anabolic anti-cachexia therapy, and was unresponsive to anabolic doses of diverse androgens, including the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GTx-024. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) AR-42 exhibited anti-cachectic activity in this model. We explored combined SARM/AR-42 therapy as an improved anti-cachectic treatment paradigm. A reduced dose of AR-42 provided limited anti-cachectic benefits, but, in combination with GTx-024, significantly improved body weight, hind limb muscle mass, and grip strength versus controls. AR-42 suppressed the IL-6/GP130/STAT3 signaling axis in muscle without impacting circulating cytokines. GTx-024-mediated β-catenin target gene regulation was apparent in cachectic mice only when combined with AR-42. Our data suggest cachectic signaling in this model involves catabolic signaling insensitive to anabolic GTx-024 therapy and a blockade of GTx-024-mediated anabolic signaling. AR-42 mitigates catabolic gene activation and restores anabolic responsiveness to GTx-024. Combining GTx-024, a clinically established anabolic therapy, with AR-42, a clinically evaluated HDACi, represents a promising approach to improve anabolic response in cachectic patients.

Engineering of human myotubes towards a mature metabolic and contractile phenotype

Project description:Skeletal muscle mediates the beneficial effects of exercise, thereby improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes. Current skeletal-muscle-models in vitro are incapable of fully recapitulating its physiological functions especially regarding exercise. Supplementation of IGF1, a growth factor secreted by myofibers in vivo, might help to overcome these limitations. Primary human CD56-positive myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in the presence/absence of IGF1 in serum-free medium for 10 days. Daily collected samples were analyzed by proteomics, qRT-PCR and myotube contractibility via electrical-pulse-stimulation (EPS). Mitochondrial respiration and glucose uptake were measured. IGF1-supported differentiation formed thicker multinucleated myotubes showing physiological contraction upon EPS following day 6 while myotubes without IGF1 were almost incapable of contraction. IGF1-treatment upregulated particularly muscle-specific proteins that contribute to myofibril and sarcomere assembly, striated muscle contraction, and ATP production. Elevated PPARGC1A, MYH7 and reduced MYH1/2 suggest a switch towards a more oxidative phenotype in line with elevated mitochondrial respiration. IGF1-treatment also upregulated expression of GLUT4 and increased insulin-dependent glucose uptake. To conclude, utilizing IGF1, we engineered human myotubes that recapitulate the physiological traits of skeletal muscle in vivo vastly superior to established protocols. This novel model enables investigation of exercise on a molecular level, drug screening and interorgan-crosstalk by transfer to organ-on-chip.

Overloading mesenchymal progenitors (FAPs)

Project description:Skeletal muscle possesses the ability to adapt its size in response to milieus, which is called plasticity. Resistance training induces the increment of muscle mass called muscle hypertrophy. Muscle stem cells (MuSC; also known as muscle stem cells) function to supply new nuclei for myofiber during the overload in muscle. We found that Yap1 and Taz in mesenchymal progenitors (also called FAPs) are critical for MuSC proliferation in overloaded muscles. We hypothsize that Yap1/Taz-dependent mesenchymal progenitors derived factor induces MuSC proliferation. In order to identify such factors, RNA-seq of overloaded FAPs were performed.

Hormones, Genes, and Athleticism: Effect of Androgens on the Avian Muscular Transcriptome

Project description:Male vertebrate social displays vary from physically simple to complex, with the latter involving exquisite motor command of the body and appendages. Studies of these displays have, in turn, provided substantial insight into neuromotor mechanisms. The neotropical golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) has been used previously as a model to investigate intricate motor skills because adult males of this species perform an acrobatic and androgen-dependent courtship display. To support this behavior, these birds express elevated levels of androgen receptors (AR) in their skeletal muscles. Here we use RNA sequencing to explore how testosterone (T) modulates the muscular transcriptome to support male manakin courtship displays. In addition, we explore how androgens influence gene expression in the muscles of the zebra finch (Taenopygia guttata), a model passerine bird with a limited courtship display and minimal muscle AR. We identify androgen-dependent, muscle-specific gene regulation in both species. In addition, we identify manakin-specific effects that are linked to muscle use during the manakin display, including androgenic regulation of genes associated with muscle fiber contractility, cellular homeostasis, and energetic efficiency. Overall, our results point to numerous genes and gene networks impacted by androgens in male birds, including some that underlie optimal muscle function necessary for performing acrobatic display routines. Manakins are excellent models to explore gene regulation promoting athletic ability. Compare gene expression profiles between two species in the absence of testosterone or in the presence of testosterone using RNA-Seq (Illumina platform: Hi-Seq 2000)

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals diverse cell populations and transcriptional differences during skeletal muscle development in Megalobrama amblycephala

Project description:Fish skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, and providing an important source of meat for human consumption. Therefore, understanding the molecular genetic regulation of muscle development and growth can benefit in enhancing the efficacy of aquaculture. Morphological and skeletal muscle histological analysis of Megalobrama amblycephala at 14 development stages ranging from 5-240 days post-hatching (d) revealed that 30 d and 45 d are the crucial stages for postembryonic muscle fibers hyperplasia and hypertrophy in M. amblycephala, respectively. Then we utilized single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the regulation mechanism of postembryonic muscle development in M. amblycephala skeletal muscle at 30 d and 45 d. Here, scRNA-seq obtained 45,572 cells and identified a total of 13 distinct cell types in the skeletal muscle tissue. We reconstructed the cell differentiation events using all the cell clusters by single cell pseudo time trajectories, and the differentiation trajectory indicates that skeletal muscle cells derive from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Furthermore, we analyzed the cell-specificity of skeletal muscle-related cells and their differences at different developmental stages, and identified a total of 51 crucial genes for muscle development, including 9 genes from muscle progenitors, 35 genes from myoblasts, and 7 genes from skeletal myocytes. Cell-cell communication analysis indicated that IGF, VEGF, and SEMA3 signaling pathways serve as important incoming signaling pathways for MSCs at 30 d. Skeletal myocytes (SMs) and tendon cells etc., might influence the differentiation of MSCs into myogenic lineages via Igf2b - Igf1ra and Igf1 - Igf1ra ligand - receptor interaction. This study revealed a list of new genes involved in M. amblycephala postembryonic myogenesis, and will provide the information for the molecular breeding of muscle mass trait in M. amblycephala.
