Project description:The three estrogen related receptors (ERRs) are regulators of oxidative metabolism in many cell types, yet their roles in skeletal muscle have not been elucidated. To address the roles and significance of ERRs for skeletal muscle mitochondria and muscle function, we generated mice lacking combinations of ERRs specifically in skeletal muscle. We then compared the impact of ERR loss on the transcriptomes of EDL and soleus, i.e., muscles rich in glycolytic or oxidative fibers, respectively. Our findings highlight an essential role of ERRs for skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism and identify broad classes of ERR-dependent gene programs in muscle. They also suggest a high degree of functional redundancy among muscle ERR isoforms for the protection of oxidative capacity, with ERR isoform-specific phenotypes being driven primarily, but not exclusively, by their relative levels in different muscles. To compare the relative contributions of ERRs for oxidative capacity in glycolytic and oxidative skeletal muscles, we generated mice lacking one or two ERRs specifically in skeletal muscle. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of soleus and EDL muscles of WT and ERR KO mice .

Project description:I. Experimental Design: a. Type of experiment: Time course b. Experimental factors: 3 month old mice subjected to lengthening contractions of the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL). Samples of EDL collected at 6 and 72 h and compared to non-treated control. c. How many hybridizations in exp: 9 d. Common reference used for all hyb: no e. Quality control steps: All arrays used from same lot. Triplicate hybridizations performed for each time point. II. Samples used, extracts, preparation and labeling: Animals. Nine male C57BL/6 mice (3-4 mo of age, 27.8 ± 3.3 g body mass, Harlan Sprague-Dawley, Indianapolis, IN). Muscle Injury. The extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of six mice were exposed to lengthening contractions. Mice were anesthetized with 2% avertin (0.015 ml/kg) and supplemental doses were administered if the mouse responded to a toe pinch. Animals were placed on a plexiglass platform that was maintained at 37°C. The distal femur of the right hindlimb was fixed between screws and the foot was taped to the platform. The distal tendons of the EDL were exposed by incision and tied to the lever arm of a servomotor (Aurora Scientific, Richmond Hill ON, Canada) with 4-0 silk suture. Needle electrodes were placed adjacent to the peroneal nerve to stimulate dorsiflexor contraction (Grass Instruments, West Warwick, RI). Maximal isometric force (Po) was determined by stimulating the dorsiflexors maximally at optimum length (Lo) for force development. To induce muscle injury, 75 lengthening contractions were performed at 0.25 Hz for 5 min. For each lengthening contraction, the muscle was stimulated at 150 Hz and stretched 100 ms after the initiation of stimulation. Muscle stretch involved 20 % strain relative to Lo. Force deficit was evaluated 10 min after the 75 contractions and then the incision was closed with 7-0 silk suture. Animals were returned to their cage to recover until the time of sacrifice. Prior to sacrifice by cervical dislocation, animals were anesthetized with avertin and the EDL muscles were excised and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Muscles were stored in liquid nitrogen until RNA isolation. RNA Isolation. Total RNA was isolated from EDL muscles from control mice (n=3) and mice sacrificed at 6 h (n=3) and 72 h (n=3) after lengthening contractions according to the modified protocol of Chomzynski et al.. Frozen muscles were added to preweighed tubes containing TriReagent (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Tissue was homogenized in TriReagent using a Tissue Tearor (Fischer, Pittsburgh, PA) at 30,000 rpm for 1 minute. Homogenates were transferred to sterile, RNAase free microcentrifuge tubes and incubated for 10 min at room temperature. Chloroform (0.2 ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was added and after incubation, the samples were centrifuged for 15 min at 12,000 g and 4°C. Total RNA was precipitated from the aqueous phase by the addition of isopropanol (Sigma-Aldrich), and pelleted by centrifugation. Pellets were washed in ethanol (75 and 95 %) and air dried before resuspension in diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) treated water. RNA concentration was determined by optical density at 260 nm. III. Hybridization procedures and parameters: Microarray Hybridization and Analysis. To reduce measurement error, all membranes (Atlas mouse 1.2; Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) were prepared from the same lot. Additionally, each membrane was hybridized only once to avoid errors associated with stripping and multiple hybridizations. In order to minimize individual biological variability, total RNA was pooled from three animals for hybridization of arrays. Three arrays were used for the pooled sample at each time point. First strand cDNA probe generation from total RNA and microarray hybridization were performed according to manufacturerâs instructions (Atlas cDNA Expression Arrays User Manual, Clontech). 33P labeled cDNA was generated from sample RNA using [33P]-dATP (3000 Ci/mmol; ICN, Costa Mesa, CA) and Maloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase (Clontech). Labeled probes were purified using nucleospin columns (Clontech). Array membranes were prehybridized in Express Hyb containing sheared Salmon testes DNA (Gibco BRL, Rockville, MD) for 30 min at 71°C in rotating hybridization tubes. Radiolabeled probe (3 x 106 cpm) was incubated in denaturing solution (Clontech) for 20 min at 71°C, after which Cot1 DNA/neutralizing solution was added and incubation continued for 10 min. The probe mixture was added to the hybridization tube and incubated with rotation overnight. Following hybridization, membranes were washed four times for 30 min in 2X saturated sodium citrate (SSC) and 1 % sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) at 71°C, once for 30 min in 0.1X SSC and 0.5% SDS at 71°C, and once for 5 min in 2X SSC at room temperature. Membranes were removed and immediately wrapped in plastic and exposed to a phosphor storage screen (Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, CA) for four days. IV. Measurement data and specifications: Data Analysis. The membrane image was acquired using a Storm phosporimager (Molecular Dynamics) and Image Quant software. Array images were analyzed using Atlas Image 2.0 (Clontech) software to determine raw intensity levels of expression. Raw intensity data was imported into GeneSpring (Silicon Genetics, Redwood City, CA) expression analysis software. Intensity levels were normalized to the median expressed intensity on each of the arrays and averaged for the three arrays at each time point. Normalized expression levels for control arrays were established as a value of 1 and data from 6 and 72 h were expressed as fold changes relative to control. In order to simplify interpretation of the resulting dataset, a k-means cluster analysis was employed to group genes based on similarities in patterns of expression. To reduce the likelihood of false positives, the data was filtered using a criterion 2 fold change in expression prior to clustering. Miller et al. (61) have calculated that using an array of 10,000 features with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 20 percent, a 2 fold criterion for altered gene expression would result in zero false positives. The mean and median CV (15.8 and 14.3%, respectively) for all arrays in the current study fell within these guidelines for the elimination of false positives.

Project description:Titinopathies are inherited muscular diseases triggered by genetic mutations in the titin gene. Muscular dystrophy with myositis (mdm) is one such disease caused by a deletion in the N2A-PEVK region of titin, one of the most active binding sites in titin, and mice with this deletion develop progressive muscle degeneration. The range of phenotypic differences observed in mdm mice extends well beyond impacts on titin, making it clear that deletion of this region initiates a cascade of additional transcriptomic changes. Previous research has focused on correlating phenotypic differences with muscle function in mdm mice. These studies have provided understanding of the downstream physiological effects resulting from the deletion but only provide insights on processes that can be physiologically observed and measured. We used differential gene expression (DGE) to compare the transcriptomes of extensor digitorum longus (EDL), psoas and soleus muscles from wild-type and mdm mice to develop a deeper understand of these tissue-specific responses.

Project description:Adding potassium nitrate (KNO3) to the diet improves the physiological properties of mammalian muscles (rebuilds weakened muscle, improves structure and functionality). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of KNO3 supplementation in a mouse model. BALB/c mice were fed a KNO3 diet for three weeks, followed by a normal diet without nitrates. After the feeding period, the Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle was evaluated ex vivo for contraction force and fatigue. To evaluate the possible pathological changes, the histology of EDL tissues was performed in control and KNO3-fed groups after 21 days. The histological analysis showed an absence of negative effects in EDL muscles. We also analyzed 15 biochemical blood parameters. After 21 days of KNO3 supplementation, the EDL mass was, on average, 13% larger in the experimental group compared to the controls (p < 0.05). The muscle-specific force increased by 38% in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). The results indicate that KNO3 has effects in an experimental mouse model, showing nitrate-diet-induced muscle strength. This study contributes to a better understanding of the molecular changes in muscles following nutritional intervention and may help develop strategies and products designated to treat muscle-related issues.

Project description:AbstractGanglion is the most common soft tissue mass in the foot and can be painful and affect comfort wearing shoes. The usual treatment of a ganglion is conservative: careful neglect, manual rupture, or aspiration. When the lesion is recurrent or painful, surgical excision is recommended. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the extraganglionic approach of endoscopic ganglionectomy of the extensor digitorum longus tendon. This surgery has the advantage of being minimally invasive and having better cosmetic result, with less surgical trauma to the soft tissue.Level of evidenceLevel 1: foot and ankle; Level 2: other (ganglion).

Project description:The fast and constant activity of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) impose mechanical and metabolic stresses not typically seen in limb skeletal muscles. These functional properties may explain why EOMs seem to age at a faster rate than other skeletal muscles. Using high-density cDNA microarrays, this study investigated the gene expression profile of EOMs and extensor digitorum longus muscles (EDL) of Fischer 344/Brown Norway F1 hybrid rats at 6-, 18- and 30-months of age. At 6-mo, 705 genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were differentially expressed in EOMs (436 up, 269 down). Overall, the EOM profile at this age was mostly consistent with the increased expression of fetal, developmental and EOM-specific myosin isoforms, enzymes involved in glycolysis and TCA cycle, and ion transporters and pumps, confirming the notion that EOM may represent a distinct muscle group (PNAS 98:12062, 2001). Interestingly, at 18-mo only 36 probes were significantly different in EOM (15 up, 21 down), most of them ESTs. However, at 30-mo EOMs had 655 differentially expressed genes and ESTs (480 up, 175 down). In this age group, the EOM expression profile reverted to a pattern similar to that found at 6-mo, with evidence of ongoing tissue remodeling and increased expression of antioxidant enzymes. These results indicate that the gene expression profile of EOM and EDL evolve differently throughout the lifespan. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was obtained with TRIzol (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA) following the manufacturers recommended protocol. Tissues from 4 animals were combined into each RNA sample to decrease inter-subject variability. Biotinylated cRNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix Rat Genome U34 gene chips (n=24 chips) described previously [McMullen et al. 2004]. Microarrays were washed and stained with a streptavidin-bound marker and scanned. Data were analyzed with Affymetrix Microarray Suite 5.0 software. Only genes with consistent absent/present calls in all four independent replicates per group were considered for further analysis. Comparisons the one-sided Wilcoxonâs signed rank test to estimate âincrease/no change/ decreaseâ difference calls for each pair-wise comparison. Only difference calls consistent in all pair-wise comparisons and with average changes > 2.00 were considered significant, resulting in a conservative list of genes with changed expression levels. Functional classification of genes was based on an extensive literature review.

Project description:gene expression profile in diaphragm (DIA), extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and extraocular (EOM) muscles of rats with actively induced experimentally acquired MG (EAMG) using Affymetrix rat RAE230 gene chip. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was obtained with TRIzol (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA) following the manufacturers recommended protocol. Tissues from 3 animals were combined into each RNA sample to decrease inter-subject variability. RNA pellets were cleaned by RNasey kits and resuspended at 1 μg RNA/μl DEPC-treated water and 5 ug was used in a reverse transcription reaction (SuperScript II; Life Technologies, Rockville, MD) to generate first strand cDNA. Double strand cDNA was synthesized and used in an in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction to generate biotinylated cRNA. Fragmented cRNA (15 ug) was used in a 300 ul hybridization cocktail containing herring sperm DNA and BSA as carrier molecules, spiked IVT controls, and buffering agents. A 200 ul aliquot of this cocktail was used for hybridization to Affymetrix rat REA230 (Santa Clara, CA) microarrays for 16 hrs at 45o C. The manufacturerâs standard post-hybridization wash, double-stain, and scanning protocols used an Affymetrix GeneChip Fluidics Station 400 and a Hewlett Packard Gene Array scanner. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray data analysis Experiment Overall Design: Raw data from microarray scans were analyzed with Affymetrix GCOS 2.0. GCOS evaluates sets of perfect match (PM) and mismatch (MM) probe sequences to obtain both hybridization signal values and present/absent calls for each transcript. Microarrays were scaled to the same target intensity and pairwise comparisons were made between experimental and control samples. Comparisons the one-sided Wilcoxonâs signed rank test to estimate âincrease/no change/ decreaseâ difference calls for each pair-wise comparison. Transcripts defined as differentially regulated met the criteria of: (a) consistent increase/decrease call across 7 out of 9 replicate comparisons, based upon Wilcoxonâs signed rank test (algorithm assesses probe pair saturation, calculates a p value and determines increase, decrease, or no change calls) and (b) the average fold difference ⥠2.0. Data were visualized as a hierarchical dendrogram generayed on computer (Genespring software,ver 7.2; Silicon Genetics, Redwood city, CA). Annotation was done according to Affymetrix NetAffyx Gene Ontology database.
