Ciliary Hedgehog signaling restricts injury-induced adipogenesis

ABSTRACT: Injured skeletal muscle regenerates, but with age or in muscular dystrophies, muscle is replaced by fat. Upon injury, muscle-resident fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) proliferated and gave rise to adipocytes. These FAPs dynamically produced primary cilia, structures that transduce intercellular cues such as Hedgehog (Hh) signals. Genetically removing cilia from FAPs inhibited intramuscular adipogenesis, both after injury and in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Blocking FAP ciliation also enhanced myofiber regeneration after injury and reduced myofiber size decline in the muscular dystrophy model. Hh signaling through FAP cilia regulated the expression of TIMP3, a secreted metalloproteinase inhibitor, that inhibited MMP14 to block adipogenesis. A pharmacological mimetic of TIMP3 blocked the conversion of FAPs into adipocytes, pointing to a strategy to combat fatty degeneration of skeletal muscle. We conclude that ciliary Hh signaling by FAPs orchestrates the regenerative response to skeletal muscle injury.

Profiling of mouse Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) aging and activation upon skeletal muscle injury

Project description:Utilizing glycerol intramuscular injections in M. musculus provides a model of skeletal muscle damage followed by skeletal muscle regeneration. In particular, glycerol-induced muscle injury triggers accute activation of muscle Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors, also called FAPs. However, aging dramatically impairs FAP function. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of young and old FAPs in the non-proliferative and activated state, freshly isolated to non-injured or damaged muscles, respectively. Our goal was to uncover new regulatory signalings specific to FAP entry into the activation program that are affected with age.

Osr1 controls the pro-regenerative response of Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors

Project description:Purpose: To study the requirement of Osr1 expression for FAP function during skeletal muscle regeneration. Methods: We sequenced total mRNAs isolated from adult FAPs FACS sorted from 3 and 7 day post injured hindlimb skeletal muscle of Ctrl (Osr1flox/+ CAGG Cre+) and Osr1 cKO (Osr1flox/flox CAGG Cre+) mice. Results: Loss of Osr1 leads to pro-fibrotic orientation of FAPs and impairs both FAP-macrophage and FAP-MuSCs communication network resulting in impaired regenerative myogenesis and persistent fibrosis. Conclusions: Osr1 is a key transcriptional regulator of FAP regenerative function protecting FAPs from assuming a detrimental pro-fibrotic and anti-myogenic state.

Fibro-adipogenic progenitors of dystrophic mice are insensitive to NOTCH regulation of adipogenesis

Project description:Fibro adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) promote satellite cell differentiation in adult skeletal muscle regeneration. However, in pathological conditions, FAPs are responsible for fibrosis and fatty infiltrations. Here we show that the NOTCH pathway negatively modulates FAP differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. However, FAPs isolated from young dystrophin- deficient mdx mice are insensitive to this control mechanism. An unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of FAPs from muscles of wild type and mdx mice, suggest that the synergistic cooperation between NOTCH and inflammatory signals controls FAP differentiation. Remarkably, we demonstrated that factors released by hematopoietic cells restore the sensitivity to NOTCH adipogenic inhibition in mdx FAPs. These results offer a basis for rationalizing pathological ectopic fat infiltrations in skeletal muscle and may suggest new therapeutic strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of fat depositions in muscles of dystrophic patients.

MME+ fibro-adipogenic progenitors are the dominant adipogenic population during fatty infiltration in human skeletal muscle

Project description:Fatty infiltration, the ectopic deposition of adipose tissue within skeletal muscle, is mediated via the adipogenic differentiation of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). We used single-nuclei and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize FAP heterogeneity in patients with fatty infiltration. We identified an MME+ FAP subpopulation which, based on ex vivo characterization as well as transplantation experiments, exhibits high adipogenic potential. MME+ FAPs are characterized by low activity of WNT, known to control adipogenic commitment, and are refractory to the inhibitory role of WNT activators. Using preclinical models for muscle damage versus fatty infiltration, we show that many MME+ FAPs undergo apoptosis during muscle regeneration and differentiate into adipocytes under pathological conditions, leading to their depletion. Finally, we utilized the varying fat infiltration levels in human hip muscles to show the depletion of MME+ FAPs in fatty infiltrated human muscle. Altogether, we have identified the dominant adipogenic FAP subpopulation in skeletal muscle.

Muscle-resident mesenchymal progenitors sense and repair peripheral nerve injury via the GDNF-BDNF axis

Project description:Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are muscle-resident mesenchymal progenitors that can contribute to muscle tissue homeostasis and regeneration, as well as postnatal maturation and lifelong maintenance of the neuromuscular system. Recently, traumatic injury to the peripheral nerve was shown to activate FAPs, suggesting that FAPs can respond to nerve injury. However, questions of how FAPs can sense the anatomically distant peripheral nerve injury and whether FAPs can directly contribute to nerve regeneration remained unanswered. Here, utilizing single-cell transcriptomics and mouse models, we discovered that a subset of FAPs expressing GDNF receptors Ret and Gfra1 can respond to peripheral nerve injury by sensing GDNF secreted by Schwann cells. Upon GDNF sensing, this subset becomes activated and expresses Bdnf. FAP-specific inactivation of Bdnf (Prrx1-Cre; Bdnf-fl/fl) resulted in delayed nerve regeneration owing to defective remyelination, indicating that GDNF-sensing FAPs play an important role in the remyelination process during peripheral nerve regeneration. In aged mice, significantly reduced Bdnf expression in FAPs was observed upon nerve injury, suggesting the clinical relevance of FAP-derived BDNF in the age-related delays in nerve regeneration. Collectively, our study revealed the previously unidentified role of FAPs in peripheral nerve regeneration, and the molecular mechanism behind FAPs’ response to peripheral nerve injury.

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 hypothesize that mesenchymal progenitors (also called FAPs) -derived factor induces MuSC proliferation. In order to identify such factors, RNA-seq of overloaded FAPs were performed.

A single-cell atlas of bovine skeletal muscle tissue reveals mechanisms underlying differences in quality between Wagyu and Brahman beef.

Project description:Wagyu cattle are renowned for their premium beef characterized by abundant intramuscular fat (IMF). In contrast, Brahman, a popular breed in the southern coastal area of the US, generally produces tough meat with scarce IMF. However, the mechanisms underlying the differential meat quality between the two breeds are still largely unknown. Using single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq), we identified many tissue-resident and immune cell types in Wagyu, Brahman, and Wagyu/Brahman crossbred cattle muscle. Multiple fibro/adipogenic progenitor (FAP) subpopulations were identified, including an endomysial adipogenic subpopulation and a perimysial fibrogenic subpopulation. Further analysis comparing individual FAP subpopulations between Wagyu and Brahman identified stronger pro-adipogenic gene expression in Wagyu adipogenic FAP subpopulation and higher pro-fibrogenic gene expression in Brahman fibrogenic FAP subpopulation. Overexpression of CFD, a gene upregulated in Wagyu adipogenic FAPs, enhanced the adipogenic efficiency of FAPs. Moreover, the expression of CFD in FAPs was positively correlated with the IMF content. Interestingly, the expression of CFD was identified in human FAPs but not FAPs of mouse models of intramuscular adipogenesis, suggesting that CFD is a species-specific regulator of IMF formation. Using a mouse line that allows lineage-tracing of FAPs expressing Postn, a gene upregulated in Brahman FAPs, we found that Postn expression was specifically activated during fibrogenic but not adipogenic programming. Cell-cell communication analysis revealed robust interactions between FAPs and other cell types, further suggesting the critical role of FAPs in bovine skeletal muscle growth, development, and homeostasis.

Identifying signals from the skeletal muscle niche that regulate satellite cell function

Project description:Skeletal muscle is the most common tissue in the body. Its continued maintenance and regeneration throughout life is essential to the function of the organism. Satellite cells are critical to regeneration of the skeletal muscle and strategies to improve function of satellite cells are of great importance. Muscle-resident Fibro-Adipogenic Precursors (FAPs) cells are a critical component of the satellite cell niche and help orchestrate efficient muscle regeneration and potentiate satellite cell differentiation via soluble or secreted factors. Populations with similar phenotype and function to muscle FAPs have been isolated from the skin and white adipose tissue. Interactions between tissue-specific FAP cells and resident stem cells in those tissues might be conserved. Therefore, defining specific factors that mediate the relationship between muscle FAPs and satellite cells would have implications for other organs.

Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors Are Key Effectors and Regulators of Skeletal Muscle Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy

Project description:Fibrosis is a prominent pathological feature of skeletal muscle in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The commonly used disease mouse model, mdx5cv, displays progressive fibrosis in diaphragm but not limb muscles. We use single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the cellular expression of the genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) production and degradation in mdx5cv diaphragm and quadriceps. We find that fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are not only the primary source of ECM but also the predominant cells that express important ECM regulatory genes, including Ccn2, Ltbp4, Mmp2, Mmp14, Timp1, Timp2, and Loxs. The effector and regulatory functions are exerted by diverse FAP clusters which are different between diaphragm and quadriceps, indicating their activation by different tissue microenvironment. FAPs are more abundant in diaphragm than in quadriceps.

Aging exacerbates neuromuscular junction disruption after injury that stimulates pro-inflammatory and diminishes pro-regenerative factor expression in macrophages and fibroadipogenic progenitors.

Project description:Aging is associated with delayed skeletal muscle repair and regeneration. Loss of innervation occurs after degenerative muscle injury, however, the extent of denervation, whether the kinetics of reinnervation changes with aging, and the cellular consequences of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disruption in adult and aged muscle have not been explored. Here we show after degenerative muscle injury progressive denervation and delayed reinnervation in aged compared to adult muscle. Using confocal microscopy and 3-D image rendering we found a relationship between innervation and myofiber size in aged regenerating muscle. Although timely inhibition of pro-inflammatory Ccr2 activity after degenerative muscle injury improved aged regenerated myofiber size, this was not associated with an increase in reinnervation. In contrast, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNASeq) analysis revealed denervation triggers an inflammatory response in target muscles regardless of age; however, pro-inflammatory signaling predominated in aged macrophages and fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) compared to a pro-regenerative response in adult cells. Thus, denervation and delayed reinnervation of NMJs after injury is a feature of persistent pro-inflammatory signals associated with delayed repair and regeneration of aged muscle.
