Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are required for muscle regeneration. In resting muscles, MuSCs are kept in quiescence. After injury, MuSCs undergo rapid activation, proliferation and differentiation to repair damaged muscles. Age-associated impairments in stem cell functions correlate with a decline in somatic tissue regeneration capacity during aging. However, the mechanisms underlying the molecular regulation of adult stem cell aging remain elusive. Here, we obtained quisecent MuSCs from young, old, geriatric mice for high resolution mass spectrometry Bruker timsTOF Pro. By comparison of young proteome to old MuSCs proteome or geriatric MuSC proteome, we identified the pathways that are differentially during aging.

Project description:To uncover new pathways that are important for skeletal muscle stem cell (MuSC) aging, we performed multiomics profiling, including transcriptomics, DNA methylomics, proteomics, and metabolomics on quiescent MuSCs from young and old mice. Our goals were to discover pathways that have been overlooked by isolated profiling approaches and to gain insight into which changes are causal, compensatory, correlational, and consequential. In our work, we found that glutathione metabolism is a key pathway of MuSC that involves a compensatory feedback loop. Follow-up experiments showed that old MuSCs actually form a dichotomy between glutathione-high MuSCs and glutathione-low MuSCs. RNA-Seq showed that glutathione-high old MuSCs are able to synthesize adequate glutathione and thus compensate adequately for oxidative stress with increased glutathione turnover, while glutathione-low old MuSCs have failed to compensate for oxidative stress metabolically and instead show increased inflammatory signaling.

Project description:During aging, the number and functionality of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) decreases leading to impaired regeneration of aged skeletal muscle. In addition to intrinsic changes in aged MuSCs, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins deriving from other cell types, e.g., fibrogenic-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs), contribute to the aging phenotype of MuSCs and impaired regeneration in the elderly. So far, no comprehensive analysis on how age-dependent changes in the whole skeletal muscle proteome affect MuSC function have been conducted. Here, we investigated age-dependent changes in the proteome of different skeletal muscle types by applying deep quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 183 extracellular matrix proteins that show different abundances in skeletal muscles of old mice. By integrating single cell sequencing data, we reveal that transcripts of those ECM proteins are mainly expressed in FAPs, suggesting that FAPs are the main contributors to ECM remodelling during aging. We functionally investigated one of those ECM molecules, namely Smoc2, which is aberrantly expressed during aging. We show that Smoc2 levels are elevated during regeneration and that its accumulation in the aged MuSC niche causes impairment of MuSCs function through constant activation of integrin/MAPK signaling. In vivo, supplementation of exogenous Smoc2 hampers the regeneration of young muscles following serial injuries, leading to a phenotype reminiscent of regenerating aged skeletal muscle. Taken together, we provide a comprehensive resource of changes in the composition of the ECM of aged skeletal muscles, we pinpoint the cell types driving these changes, and we identify a new niche protein causing functional impairment of MuSCs thereby hampering the regeneration capacity of skeletal muscles.

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:Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) play key roles in regulating differentiation and function of stem cells, including muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), a resident stem cell population responsible for postnatal regeneration of the skeletal muscle. Sox11 belongs to the Sry-related HMG-box (SOX) family of TFs that play diverse roles in stem cell behavior and tissue specification. Analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets identify a specific enrichment of Sox11 mRNA in differentiating but not quiescent MuSCs. Consistent with the scRNA-seq data, Sox11 levels increase during differentiation of murine primary myoblasts in vitro. scRNA-seq data comparing muscle regeneration in young and old mice further demonstrate that Sox11 expression is reduced in aged MuSCs. Age-related decline of Sox11 expression is associated with reduced chromatin contacts within the topologically associated domains. Unexpectedly, Myod1Cre-driven deletion of Sox11 in embryonic myoblasts has no effects on muscle development and growth, resulting in apparently healthy muscles that regenerate normally. Pax7CreER or Rosa26CreER driven (MuSC-specific or global) deletion of Sox11 in adult mice similarly has no effects on MuSC differentiation or muscle regeneration. These results identify Sox11 as a novel myogenic differentiation marker with reduced expression in quiescent and aged MuSCs, but the specific function of Sox11 in myogenesis remain to be elucidated.

Project description:Quiescent adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) regenerate skeletal muscle upon injury throughout life. However, aged skeletal muscles fail to maintain stem cell quiescence, leading to declines in MuSC number and functionality. Although autophagy plays an important role in the maintenance of MuSC quiescence, how quiescent MuSCs and their autophagy levels are maintained throughout life is largely unknown. The current study reveals how GnRH, a hypothalamic hormone, maintains the quiescence of adult MuSCs by preventing the onset of senescence and how the decline of sex steroids in organismal ageing is implicated in MuSC ageing.

Project description:During aging, the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle decreases due to intrinsic changes in muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and alterations in their niche. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize intrinsic changes in the MuSC proteome and remodeling of the MuSC niche during aging. We generated a network connecting age-affected ligands located in the niche and cell surface receptors on MuSCs. Thereby, we revealed signaling via Integrins, Lrp1, Egfr and Cd44 as the major cell communication axes perturbed through aging. We investigated the effect of Smoc2, a secreted protein that accumulates with aging, originating from fibro-adipogenic progenitors. Increased levels of Smoc2 contribute to the aberrant Itgb1/MAPK signaling observed during aging, thereby causing impaired MuSC functionality and muscle regeneration. By connecting changes in the proteome of MuSCs to alterations of their niche, our work will enable a better understanding of how MuSCs are affected during aging.

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.
