Myofibre-specific knockout of TGF-β type I receptors triggers muscle hypertrophy and promotes contraction and oxidative metabolism

ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is associated with progressive skeletal muscle wasting and fibrosis, while double knockout of TGF-β type I receptors Acvr1b and Tgfbr1 results in hypertrophy. Gaining insights in how myofibre-specific knockout of these receptors affects muscle transcriptome, strength and mitochondrial activity could aid in the development of therapeutic interventions to improve muscle function. Here, we show that 3 months of myofibre-specific knockout of both receptors (dKO) in mice induced a 1.6-fold increase in gastrocnemius medialis mass and a 1.3-fold increase in maximal force. Soleus muscle mass and maximal force both increased 1.2-fold in dKO mice. Muscle hypertrophy in dKO mice was accompanied by a proportional increase in succinate dehydrogenase enzyme activity. Single receptor knockout caused minor phenotypical alterations. Transcriptome analyses revealed that gastrocnemius medialis had 1811 and soleus had 295 differentially expressed genes, mainly related to muscle contraction, hypertrophy, filament organization and oxidative metabolism. Hgf and Sln genes were strongly upregulated in both muscles of dKO mice, while Sntb1 was downregulated. This in combination of transcriptional changes are associated with muscle hypertrophy and increased mitochondrial biosynthesis. Our study highlights that myofibre-specific interference with both TGF-β type I receptors concurrently stimulates myofibre hypertrophy and mitochondrial activity.

Extracellular matrix remodelling is associated with muscle force increase in overloaded mouse plantaris muscle.

Project description:Aims: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalling is thought to contribute to the remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM) of skeletal muscle and to functional decline in patients with muscular dystrophies. We wanted to determine the role of TGF-β-induced ECM remodelling in dystrophic muscle. Methods: We experimentally induced the pathological hallmarks of severe muscular dystrophy by mechanically overloading the plantaris muscle in mice. Furthermore, we determined the role of TGF-β signalling on dystrophic tissue modulation and on muscle function by (i) overloading myostatin knockout (Mstn-/- ) mice and (ii) by additional pharmacological TGF-β inhibition via halofuginone. Results: Transcriptome analysis of overloaded muscles revealed upregulation predominantly of genes associated with ECM, inflammation and metalloproteinase activity. Histology revealed in wild-type mice signs of severe muscular dystrophy including myofibres with large variation in size and internalized myonuclei, as well as increased ECM deposition. At the same time, muscle weight had increased by 208% and muscle force by 234%. Myostatin deficiency blunted the effect of overload on muscle mass (59% increase) and force (76% increase), while having no effect on ECM deposition. Concomitant treatment with halofuginone blunted overload-induced muscle hypertrophy and muscle force increase, while reducing ECM deposition and increasing myofibre size. Conclusions: ECM remodelling is associated with an increase in muscle mass and force in overload-modelled dystrophic muscle. Lack of myostatin is not advantageous and inhibition of ECM deposition by halofuginone is disadvantageous for muscle plasticity in response to stimuli that induce dystrophic muscle.

Effect of insulin insufficiency on ultrastructure and function in skeletal muscle

Project description:Decreased insulin availability and high blood glucose levels, the hallmark features of poorly controlled diabetes, drive disease progression and are associated with decreased skeletal muscle mass. We have shown that mice with -cell dysfunction and normal insulin sensitivity have decreased skeletal muscle mass. This project asks how insulin deficiency impacts on the structure and function of the remaining skeletal muscle in these animals. Methods: Skeletal muscle function was determined by measuring exercise capacity and specific muscle strength prior to and after insulin supplementation for 28 days in 12-week-old mice with conditional -cell deletion of the ATP binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 (β-DKO mice). Abca1 and Abcg1 floxed (fl/fl) mice were used as controls. RNAseq was used to quantify changes in transcripts in soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles. Skeletal muscle and mitochondrial morphology were assessed by transmission electron microscopy. Myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity and maximum isometric single muscle fibre force were assessed using MyoRobot biomechatronics technology. Results: RNA transcripts were significantly altered in β-DKO mice compared to fl/fl controls (32 in extensor digitorum longus and 412 in soleus). Exercise capacity and muscle strength were significantly decreased in β-DKO mice compared to fl/fl controls (p = 0.012), and a loss of structural integrity was also observed in skeletal muscle from the β-DKO mice. Supplementation of β-DKO mice with insulin restored muscle integrity, strength and expression of 13 and 16 of the dysregulated transcripts in and extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles, respectively. Conclusions: Insulin insufficiency due to -cell dysfunction perturbs the structure and function of skeletal muscle. These adverse effects are rectified by insulin supplementation.

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) autonomously regulates skeletal muscle mass

Project description:Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is estimated to affect ~40% of the world’s population. Notably, VitD deficiency has been associated with impaired muscle maintenance and insulin resistance. VitD exerts its actions through the ubiquitous Vitamin D-receptor (VDR), the expression of which was recently confirmed in fully-differentiated muscle. To seek a possible autonomous role of the VDR in skeletal muscle, we first generated stable VDR-knockdown cells, which exhibited impaired myogenesis (i.e. cell-cycling, differentiation and myotube formation). In vivo VDR-knockdown in rat hind-limbs elicited myofibre atrophy and triggered autophagy pathways. In contrast, in vivo VDR-overexpression yielded myofibre hypertrophy; enhancing translational efficiency (e.g. mTOR-signaling), ribosomal biogenesis and satellite cell content. Neither VDR-knockdown nor overexpression impacted muscle glucose uptake. Crucially, induction of VDR mRNA correlated with muscle hypertrophy in humans following long-term resistance exercise training, but not aspects of insulin sensitivity. The VDR autonomously regulates muscle mass, acting reciprocally to limit atrophy and promote hypertrophy.

Targeted inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor signaling prevents muscle fiber growth during skeletal muscle hypertrophy

Project description:The platelet-derived growth-factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFRα and PDGFRβ) mark fibroblasts and pericytes in skeletal muscle, respectively. While the role that these cells play in muscle growth has been evaluated, it was not known whether the receptors that mark these cells play a role in controlling transcriptional and functional changes during skeletal muscle hypertrophy. To evaluate this, we inhibited PDGFR signaling in mice subjected to a synergist ablation muscle growth procedure, and measured changes 3 and 10 days later. The results indicated that PDGF signaling was required for fiber hypertrophy and ECM production that occur during muscle growth.

Differential isoform expression and selective muscle involvement in muscular dystrophies

Project description:To test the hypothesis that different muscles may express variable amounts of different isoforms of muscle genes, we applied a custom-designed exon microarray containing probes for 57 muscle-specific genes to assay the transcriptional profiles in sets of human adult, lower limb skeletal muscles. Muscle biopsies from 15 individuals were selected for analysis dissected from 21 anatomically different muscles collected from eight men and seven women, ranging from 61 to 91 years The muscle tissue samples collected included samples from 11 different thigh muscles––vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedialis, sartorius, gracilis, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, adductor magnus, adductor longus, and rectus femoris––and 10 lower leg muscles––flexor digitorum longus, extensor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, peroneus longus/brevis, extensor hallucis longus, gastrocnemius lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, flexor hallucis longus, and soleus. Approximately five to seven muscle pieces were collected from each individual muscle sampled. The muscle sample pieces obtained for histological analysis measured roughly 10 mm x 5 mm, and the pieces for RNA isolation 5 mm x 5 mm. The samples were obtained directly from the proximal vital parts of the amputated limbs and processed immediately following their removal to avoid tissue degradation.To test the hypothesis that different muscles may express variable amounts of different isoforms of muscle genes, we applied a custom-designed Agilent exon microarray containing probes for 57 muscle-specific genes to assay the transcriptional profiles in sets of human adult, lower limb skeletal muscles

Loss of POGLUT2 and 3 eliminates O-glucose at predicted sites but does not alter other modifications on EGFs

Project description:Fibrillins play a critical role in tissue/organ development and cardiopulmonary function. Here we showed that O-glucosylation of the fibrillins’ epidermal growth factor-like repeats by protein O-glucosyltransferase 2 (POGLUT2) and POGLUT3 was indispensable for in vivo function of mouse fibrillins. Loss of O-glucosylation of fibrillins caused neonatal death with cardiopulmonary, skeletal, and eye defects reminiscent of fibrillin/elastin mutations. Analyses of FBNs in Poglut2/3 double knockout (DKO) lung, and from DKO dermal fibroblast medium and matrix, provided overwhelming evidence that fibrillins were more susceptible than other POGLUT2/3 substrates to loss of O-glucose. In the DKO, defects in microfibril structure impaired elastic fiber formation, reduced TGF-β/pERK signaling, caused structural defects in late gestation lung blood vessels and terminal bronchioles, and impaired cell differentiation and primary septation in the saccules/alveoli. Collectively, these data support an essential role for POGLUT2/3-mediated O-glucosylation in fibrillin trafficking, microfibril assembly/stability, and function in the ECM environment during lung development.

Transcriptome analysis of tenotomy immobilized rat soleus muscle

Project description:Tenotomy is the release of muscle preload that causes abrupt shortening of the muscle and models atrophy and fibrosis without inflammatory response. Fibrosis in the skeletal muscle is known to be triggered by TGF-β, which is activated by mediators of inflammatory events. As these were lacking, tenotomy provided an opportunity to investigate transcriptional events on a background without inflammation. An unbiased look at the transcriptome of tenotomy-immobilized soleus muscle revealed that the majority of the transcriptional changes took place in the first four weeks. The transcriptome provided clear-cut evidence for the upregulation of collagens and several extracellular matrix components that defined fibrotic remodeling of the skeletal muscle architecture as well as activation of the fibro-adipogenic precursors.

High througuput sequencing of skeletal muscle-specific Site-1 Protease knockout mouse gastrocnemius and soleus

Project description:The processes by which mitochondria respond to cellular energy demands brought on by physiologic and pathophysiologic stimuli are essential to cellular adaptation and organismal survival. Disrupted mitochondrial function is implicated in several human disease states, underscoring the need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that control mitochondrial function and metabolism. We previously described a patient with a gain-of-function mutation in Site-1 Protease (S1P) who exhibited idiopathic hyperCKemia, myoedema, and altered muscle mitochondrial morphology. To date, S1P has been heavily characterized in liver and bone, with very little known about its potential function in skeletal muscle. In our current study, we generated a skeletal muscle-specific S1P knockout mouse line (S1PsmKO) to examine the role of S1P in skeletal muscle. S1PsmKO mice were overtly normal in their appearance and health. However, examination of 12-week-old S1PsmKO mice showed increased gastrocnemius muscle mass and aged S1PsmKO mice exhibited increased muscle mass in both gastrocnemius and soleus relative to age-matched controls. Moreover, isolated muscle from S1PsmKO exhibited increased maximal mitochondrial respiration relative to floxed littermates (controls). RNA-Seq analysis showed increased transcript numbers of the mitochondrial-resident gene, Mss51 in S1PsmKO gastrocnemius relative to control mice. Mss51 is a member of the TGF-β/MSTN pathway, which controls mitochondrial metabolism. Similar to S1PsmKO muscle, S1P-depleted C2C12 cells also had increased maximal respiration, which was reversed by exogenous MSS51 expression. These data identify S1P as a regulator of muscle mass and mitochondrial metabolism, and implicate S1P as a novel modulator of TGF-β signaling. Method: Male mice were maintained on standard chow diet until 12 weeks of age.
