Project description:Disuse atrophy is a common clinical phenomenon which significantly impacts muscle function and activities of daily living. In this study, we did expression profiling to identify transcriptional pathways associated with muscle remodeling in a clinical model of disuse. Keywords: Differentiation design 28 Skeletal muscle biopsies from the medial gastrocnemius in patients with an ankle fracture (4 patients, 8 profiles) and from healthy volunteers (2 subjects, 4 profiles) subjected to 4-11 days of mobilization, as well as from the non-immobilized contralateral legs (16 profiles).

Project description:To identify atrophy genes directly targeted by Bcl-3 transactivator at a genome wide level, we performed whole transcript expression array and ChIP-seq for muscles from weight bearing or 5-day hind limb unloaded mice. Genes that showed increased expression with unloading and a Bcl-3 peak in the promoter (from ChIP-seq data) were considered as Bcl-3 direct targets during disuse atrophy. Using ChIP array, we identified 241 direct targets for Bcl-3. Our data describe Bcl-3 as a global regulator both of the proteolysis and the change in energy metabolism that are essential components of muscle atrophy due to disuse. Disuse skeletal muscle atrophy was induced by hind limb unloading. Weight bearing (WB) or 5-day hind limb unloaded (HU) muscles were harvested for total RNA isolation and processed for whole transcript expression profiling. We chose to examine gene expression and Bcl-3 binding from 5-day unloaded muscles because our previous time course study of disuse atrophy suggested that most genes are differentially regulated at this time point, and thus, would best represent the time for Bcl-3 binding to the gene targets of the NF-kB transcriptional network.

Project description:Disuse muscle atrophy occurs consequent to prolonged limb immobility or bed rest, which represents an unmet medical need. As existing animal models of limb immobilization often cause skin erosion, edema, and other untoward effects, we here report an alternative method via thermoplastic immobilization of hindlimbs in mice. While significant decreases in the weight and fiber size were noted after 7 days of immobilization, no apparent skin erosion or edema was found. To shed light onto the molecular mechanism underlying this muscle wasting, we performed the next-generation sequencing analysis of gastrocnemius muscles from immobilized versus non-mobilized legs. Among a total of 55,487 genes analyzed, 787 genes were differentially expressed (> 4-fold; 454 and 333 genes up- and down-regulated, respectively), which included genes associated with muscle tissue development, muscle system process, protein digestion and absorption, and inflammation-related signaling. To the best our knowledge, this is the first study that used RNA-seq to reveal changes in the skeletal muscle transcriptome profiling in response to disuse atrophy without denervation. From a clinical perspective, this model may help understand the molecular/cellular mechanism that drives muscle disuse and identify therapeutic strategies for this debilitating disease.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a debilitating condition associated with weakness, fatigue, and reduced functional capacity. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) transcription factors play a critical role in atrophy. Knockout of genes encoding p50 or the NF-κB co-transactivator, Bcl-3, abolish disuse atrophy and thus they are NF-κB factors required for disuse atrophy. We do not know however, the genes targeted by NF-κB that produce the atrophied phenotype. Here we identify the genes required to produce disuse atrophy using gene expression profiling in wild type compared to Nfkb1 (gene encodes p50) and Bcl-3 deficient mice. There were 185 and 240 genes upregulated in wild type mice due to unloading, that were not upregulated in Nfkb1-/- and Bcl-3-/- mice, respectively, and so these genes were considered direct or indirect targets of p50 and Bcl-3. All of the p50 gene targets were contained in the Bcl-3 gene target list. Most genes were involved with protein degradation, signaling, translation, transcription, and transport. To identify direct targets of p50 and Bcl-3 we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation of selected genes previously shown to have roles in atrophy. Trim63 (MuRF1), Fbxo32 (MAFbx), Ubc, Ctsl, Runx1, Tnfrsf12a (Tweak receptor), and Cxcl10 (IP-10) showed increased Bcl-3 binding to κB sites in unloaded muscle and thus were direct targets of Bcl-3. p50 binding to the same sites on these genes either did not change or increased, supporting the idea of p50:Bcl-3 binding complexes. p65 binding to κB sites showed decreased or no binding to these genes with unloading. Fbxo9, Psma6, Psmc4, Psmg4, Foxo3, Ankrd1 (CARP), and Eif4ebp1 did not show changes in p65, p50, or Bcl-3 binding to κB sites, and so were considered indirect targets of p50 and Bcl-3. This work represents the first study to use a global approach to identify genes required to produce the atrophied phenotype with disuse. 24 mice were used based on 4 mice per group, 3 mouse genotypes (wild type, Nfkb1-/-, Bcl3-/-) and 2 conditions (weight-bearing and unloaded).

Project description:Muscle atrophy is a physiological response to disuse and malnutrition, but hibernating bears are largely resistant to this phenomenon. Unlike other mammals, they efficiently reabsorb amino acids from urine, periodically activate muscle contraction, and their adipocytes differentially responds to insulin. The contribution of myocytes to the reduced atrophy remains largely unknown. Here we show how metabolism and atrophy signaling are regulated in skeletal muscle of hibernating grizzly bear.

Project description:Hibernation in mammals such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) takes place over 4 to 6 months and is characterized by multi-day bouts of hypothermic torpor (5-7 °C core body temperature) that are regularly interrupted every 1-2 weeks by brief (12-24 hour) normothermic arousal periods called interbout arousals. The goal of our work was to identify the molecular mechanisms which underlie the hibernator’s ability to preserve heart function and avoid the deleterious effects of skeletal muscle disuse atrophy over prolonged periods of inactivity, starvation, and near-freezing body temperatures. To achieve this goal, we performed organelle enrichment of heart and skeletal muscle at five seasonal time points followed by LC-MS-based label-free quantitative proteomics. In both organs we saw a dramatic increase in levels of many proteins as ground squirrels transition from an active state in September to a pre-hibernation state in October. Interestingly, seasonal abundance patterns also identified new candidates for mitigating disuse atrophy in skeletal muscle which include higher levels of DHRS7C, SRL, and RTN2 in December-January torpid, IBA, and March active animals; and higher March active levels of TRIM72 and MPZ. Elevation of these proteins prompted us to perform an ex vivo contractile mechanics analysis of both type 1 (soleus) and type 2 (extensor digitorum longus) muscles in fall active, torpid, and spring active animals. Consistent with our hypotheses, both muscle types showed no deleterious effects despite several months of sedentary activity that would normally result in reduced muscle performance in non-hibernating mammals. An increased understanding of protein expression in natural hibernators may enable novel therapeutic strategies to treat human health concerns such as muscle disuse atrophy and heart disease.

Project description:Aged skeletal muscle is characterized by impaired muscle recovery following disuse and coincides with an impaired muscle pro-inflammatory macrophage response. Macrophage inflammatory status (polarization) is regulated by its metabolic state, but to date, little is understood of macrophage metabolism and its relation to macrophage polarization in the context of muscle recovery and aging. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to thoroughly characterize macrophage metabolism and polarization in aged muscle during early recovery from disuse atrophy using single cell RNA sequencing and functional assays. Young (4-5 mo) and old (20-22 mo) male C57BL/6 mice underwent 14 days of hindlimb unloading followed by 4 days of ambulatory recovery. CD45+ cells were isolated from solei muscles and analyzed using 10x Genomics single cell RNA sequencing. We found that aged M1 macrophage clusters were characterized with an impaired inflammatory and glycolytic transcriptome and this impairment was accompanied by a suppression of HIF-1α and its immediate downstream target GLUT1.

Project description:Short-term bed rest is used to simulate muscle disuse in humans. In our previous reports, we found that 5d of bed rest induced a ~4% loss of skeletal muscle mass in OLD (60-79 y) but not YOUNG (18-28 y) subjects. Identifying muscle transcriptional events in response to bed rest and age-related differences will help identify therapeutic targets to offset muscle loss in vulnerable older adult populations. Skeletal muscle dysregulation during bed rest in the old may be driven by alterations in molecules related to fibrosis, inflammation, and cell adhesion. This information may aide in the development of mechanistic-based therapies to combat muscle atrophy during short-term disuse. Short-term muscle disuse is also characterized by skeletal muscle insulin resistance, though this response is divergent across subjects. The mechanisms regulating inactivity-induced insulin resistance between populations that are more or less susceptible to disuse-induced insulin resistance are not known, and delineated by age. High Susceptibility participants were uniquely characterized with muscle gene responses described by a decrease in pathways responsible for lipid uptake and oxidation, decreased capacity for triglyceride export (APOB), increased lipogenesis (i.e., PFKFB3, FASN), and increased amino acid export (SLC43A1).
