MRNA Sequencing of skeletal muscle genes in wildtype and BCATm (BCAT2) KO mice

ABSTRACT: Consumption of a protein containing meal by a fasted animal promotes protein accretion in skeletal muscle, in part through leucine stimulation of protein synthesis and indirectly through repression of protein degradation mediated by its metabolite, α-ketoisocaproate. Mice lacking the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm/Bcat2), that interconverts leucine and α-ketoisocaproate, exhibit elevated protein turnover. Here, the transcriptomes of gastrocnemius muscle from BCATm knockout (KO) and wildtype mice were compared using Next Generation RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) to identify potential adaptations associated with their persistently altered nutrient signaling. Statistically significant changes in the abundance of 1486/~39,010 genes were identified. Bioinformatics analysis of the RNA-Seq data indicated that pathways involved in protein synthesis (eIF2, mTOR, eIF4 and p70S6K pathways including 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins), protein breakdown (e.g., ubiquitin mediated), and muscle degeneration (apoptosis, atrophy, myopathy and cell death) were up-regulated. Also in agreement with our previous observations, the abundance of mRNAs associated with reduced body size, glycemia, plasma insulin, and lipid signaling pathways were observed in BCATm KO mice. Consistently, genes encoding anaerobic and/or oxidative metabolism of carbohydrate, fatty acids and BCAAs were modestly but systematically reduced. Although there was no indication that muscle fiber type was different between KO and wildtype mice, a difference in the abundance of mRNAs associated with a muscular dystrophy phenotype was observed, consistent with the published exercise intolerance of these mice. The results suggest transcriptional adaptations occur in BCATm KO mice that along with altered nutrient signaling may contribute to their previously reported protein turnover, metabolic and exercise phenotypes.

Project description:Protein-leucine supplement ingestion following strenuous endurance exercise accentuates skeletal-muscle protein synthesis and adaptive molecular responses, but the underlying transcriptome is uncharacterized. In a randomized single-blind triple-crossover design, 12 trained men completed 100 min of high-intensity cycling then ingested either 70/15/180/30g protein/leucine/carbohydrate/fat (15LEU), 23/5/180/30g (5LEU) or 0/0/274/30g (CON) beverages during the first 90 min of a 240-min recovery period. Vastus lateralis muscle samples (30 and 240-min post-exercise) underwent transcriptome analysis by microarray followed by bioinformatic analysis. Gene expression was regulated by Protein-leucine in a dose-dependent manner impacting the inflammatory response, muscle growth and development. At 30 min, 15LEU and 5LEU vs. CON activated transcriptome networks with geneset functions involving cell-cycle arrest (Z-score 2.0-2.7; P<0.01), leukocyte maturation (1.7; P=0.007), cell viability (2.4; P=0.005), promyogenic networks encompassing myocyte differentiation and myogenin (MYOD1, MYOG), and a proteinaceous extracellular matrix, adhesion, and development programme correlated with plasma lysine, arginine, tyrosine, taurine, glutamic acid, and asparagine concentrations. High protein-leucine dose (15LEU-5LEU) activated an IL1b-centered proinflammatory network and leukocyte migration, differentiation, and survival functions (2.0-2.6; <0.001). By 240 min, the protein-leucine transcriptome was anti-inflammatory and promyogenic (IL-6, NF-kÎ², SMAD, STAT3 network inhibition), with overrepresented functions including decreased leukocyte migration and connective tissue development (-1.8-2.4; P<0.01), increased apoptosis of myeloid and muscle cells (2.2-3.0; P<0.002) and cell metabolism (2.0-2.4; P<0.01). The analysis suggests protein-leucine ingestion modulates inflammatory-myogenic regenerative processes during skeletal muscle recovery from endurance exercise. Further cellular and translational research is warranted to validate amino acid-mediated myeloid and myocellular mechanisms within skeletal-muscle functional plasticity.
