Cxcl14 depletion accelerates skeletal myogenesis by promoting cell cycle withdrawal.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle in adults retains a robust ability to regenerate after injury, which progressively declines with age. Many of the regulators of skeletal myogenesis are unknown or incompletely understood. Intriguingly, muscle cells secrete a wide variety of factors, such as cytokines, which can influence muscle development and regeneration in an autocrine or paracrine manner. Here we describe chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (Cxcl14) as a novel negative regulator of skeletal myogenesis. We found that Cxcl14 expression in myoblasts prevented cell cycle withdrawal, thereby inhibiting subsequent differentiation. Knockdown of Cxcl14 in vitro enhanced myogenic differentiation through promoting cell cycle withdrawal in an ERK1/2-dependent manner. Recapitulating these in vitro observations, the process of muscle regeneration following injury in young adult mice was accelerated by Cxcl14 depletion, accompanied by reduced cell proliferation. Furthermore, impaired capacity for muscle regeneration in aging mice was fully restored by Cxcl14 depletion. Our results indicate that Cxcl14 may be a promising target for development of therapeutics to treat muscle disease, especially aging-related muscle wasting.

Project description:BackgroundRegenerative capacity of skeletal muscles decreases with age. Deficiency in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is associated with skeletal muscle weakness as well as epithelial cell senescence. However, whether and how CFTR plays a role in skeletal muscle regeneration and aging were unclear.MethodsVastus lateralis biopsy samples from male and female human subjects (n = 23) of 7- to 86-year-old and gastrocnemii tissues from mice of 4- to 29-month-old were examined for CFTR expression. Skeletal muscle tissues or cultured myoblasts from mice carrying CFTR mutation (DF508) at 4- to 18-month-old were used for assessment of muscle mass, contractile force and regenerative capacity as well as myogenic and autophagy signalling. Overexpression of LC3-β, an autophagy mediator, was conducted to reverse myogenic defects in DF508 myoblasts. Adenoviruses containing CFTR gene or pharmaceuticals that enhance CFTR (VX809) were locally injected into the gastrocnemius or femoris quadricep to rescue age-related skeletal muscle defects in mice.ResultsmRNA levels of CFTR in human vastus lateralis exhibited significantly negative correlations with age (r = -0.87 in males and -0.62 in females, p < 0.05). Gastrocnemius mRNA level of CFTR decreased by 77.7 ± 4.6% in 29-month-old wild-type mice compared to the 4-month-old. At 18-month-old, DF508 mice showed significantly reduced lean mass (by 35.6%), lower specific twitch force of the gastrocnemius (by 46.2%), decrease in fast/slow-twitch muscle isoform ratio as well as downregulation of myogenic (e.g., MYOD and MYOG) or autophagy/mitophagy (e.g., LC3-β) genes, compared to age-matched wild-types. Post-injury gastrocnemius regeneration was found impaired in DF508 mice. Myoblast cultures from DF508 mice showed defective myogenic differentiation, which was reversed by overexpressing LC3-β. In aged (> 15-month-old) mice, overexpressing CFTR or VX809 restored the expression of autophagy or myogenic genes, increased mitochondrial LC3-β level and improved skeletal muscle mass and function.ConclusionAge-related reduction in skeletal muscle expression of CFTR impairs autophagy and myogenesis, exacerbating skeletal muscle aging. Enhancing CFTR might be a potential treatment strategy for age-related skeletal muscle disorders.
