Bi-phasic effect of gelatin in myogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle regeneration requires extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, including an acute and transient breakdown of collagen that produces gelatin. Although the physiological function of this process is unclear, it has inspired the application of gelatin to injured skeletal muscle for a potential pro-regenerative effect. Here, we investigated a bi-phasic effect of gelatin in skeletal muscle regeneration, mediated by the hormetic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Low-dose gelatin stimulated ROS production from NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and simultaneously upregulated the antioxidant system for cellular defense, reminiscent of the adaptive compensatory process during mild stress. This response triggered the release of the myokine IL-6, which stimulates myogenesis and facilitates muscle regeneration. By contrast, high-dose gelatin stimulated ROS overproduction from NOX2 and the mitochondrial chain complex, and ROS accumulation by suppressing the antioxidant system, triggering the release of TNFα, which inhibits myogenesis and regeneration. Our results have revealed a bi-phasic role of gelatin in regulating skeletal muscle repair mediated by intracellular ROS, the antioxidant system and cytokine (IL-6 and TNFα) signaling.

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and 2 (DM2) are autosomal dominant degenerative neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, atrophy, and myotonia with progeroid features. Although both DM1 and DM2 are characterized by skeletal muscle dysfunction and also share other clinical features, the diseases differ in the muscle groups that are affected. In DM1, distal muscles are mainly affected, whereas in DM2 problems are mostly found in proximal muscles. In addition, manifestation in DM1 is generally more severe, with possible congenital or childhood-onset of disease and prominent CNS involvement. DM1 and DM2 are caused by expansion of (CTG•CAG)n and (CCTG•CAGG)n repeats in the 3' non-coding region of DMPK and in intron 1 of CNBP, respectively, and in overlapping antisense genes. This critical review will focus on the pleiotropic problems that occur during development, growth, regeneration, and aging of skeletal muscle in patients who inherited these expansions. The current best-accepted idea is that most muscle symptoms can be explained by pathomechanistic effects of repeat expansion on RNA-mediated pathways. However, aberrations in DNA replication and transcription of the DM loci or in protein translation and proteome homeostasis could also affect the control of proliferation and differentiation of muscle progenitor cells or the maintenance and physiological integrity of muscle fibers during a patient's lifetime. Here, we will discuss these molecular and cellular processes and summarize current knowledge about the role of embryonic and adult muscle-resident stem cells in growth, homeostasis, regeneration, and premature aging of healthy and diseased muscle tissue. Of particular interest is that also progenitor cells from extramuscular sources, such as pericytes and mesoangioblasts, can participate in myogenic differentiation. We will examine the potential of all these types of cells in the application of regenerative medicine for muscular dystrophies and evaluate new possibilities for their use in future therapy of DM.

Project description:Background Acute injury to skeletal muscle damages myofibers and fragment capillaries, impairing contractile function and local perfusion. Myofibers and microvessels regenerate from satellite cells and from surviving microvessel fragments, respectively, to restore intact muscle. Established models of injury have used myotoxins and physical trauma to demonstrate the concurrence of myogenesis and angiogenesis during regeneration. In these models, efferocytosis removes cellular debris while basal laminae persist to provide guidance during myofiber and microvessel regeneration. It is unknown whether the spatiotemporal coupling between myofiber and microvascular regeneration persists when muscle tissue is completely removed and local guidance cues are lost. Methods To test whether complete removal of skeletal muscle tissue affects the spatiotemporal relationship between myogenesis and angiogenesis during regeneration, subthreshold volumetric muscle loss was created with a biopsy punch (diameter, 2 mm) through the center of the gluteus maximus (GM) in adult mice. Regeneration into the void was evaluated through 21 days post-injury (dpi). Microvascular perfusion was evaluated in vivo by injecting fluorescent dextran into the circulation during intravital imaging. Confocal imaging and histological analyses of whole-mount GM preparations and tissue cross-sections assessed the growth of microvessels and myofibers into the wound. Results A provisional matrix filled with PDGFRα+ and CD45+ cells spanned the wound within 1 dpi. Regenerating microvessels advanced from the edges of the wound into the matrix by 7 dpi. Nascent microvascular networks formed by 10 dpi with blood-perfused networks spanning the wound by 14 dpi. In striking contrast, the wound remained devoid of myofibers at 7 and 10 dpi. Myogenesis into the wound was apparent by 14 dpi and traversed the wound by 21 dpi. Regenerated myofibers and microvessels were disorganized compared to the uninjured muscle. Conclusions Following punch biopsy of adult skeletal muscle, regenerating microvessels span the wound and become perfused with blood prior to myofiber regeneration. The loss of residual guidance cues with complete tissue removal disrupts the spatiotemporal correspondence between microvascular and myofiber regeneration. We conclude that angiogenesis precedes myogenesis during regeneration following subthreshold volumetric muscle loss.

Project description:BackgroundMuscle wasting is a debilitating co-morbidity affecting most advanced cancer patients. Alongside enhanced muscle catabolism, defects in muscle repair/regeneration contribute to cancer-associated wasting. Among the factors implicated in suppression of muscle regeneration are cytokines that interfere with myogenic signal transduction pathways. Less understood is how other cancer/wasting-associated cues, such as metabolites, contribute to muscle dysfunction. This study investigates how the metabolite succinate affects myogenesis and muscle regeneration.MethodsWe leveraged an established ectopic metabolite treatment (cell permeable dimethyl-succinate) strategy to evaluate the ability of intracellular succinate elevation to 1) affect myoblast homeostasis (proliferation, apoptosis), 2) disrupt protein dynamics and induce wasting-associated atrophy, and 3) modulate in vitro myogenesis. In vivo succinate supplementation experiments (2% succinate, 1% sucrose vehicle) were used to corroborate and extend in vitro observations. Metabolic profiling and functional metabolic studies were then performed to investigate the impact of succinate elevation on mitochondria function.ResultsWe found that in vitro succinate supplementation elevated intracellular succinate about 2-fold, and did not have an impact on proliferation or apoptosis of C2C12 myoblasts. Elevated succinate had minor effects on protein homeostasis (~25% decrease in protein synthesis assessed by OPP staining), and no significant effect on myotube atrophy. Succinate elevation interfered with in vitro myoblast differentiation, characterized by significant decreases in late markers of myogenesis and fewer nuclei per myosin heavy chain positive structure (assessed by immunofluorescence staining). While mice orally administered succinate did not exhibit changes in overall body composition or whole muscle weights, these mice displayed smaller muscle myofiber diameters (~6% decrease in the mean of non-linear regression curves fit to the histograms of minimum feret diameter distribution), which was exacerbated when muscle regeneration was induced with barium chloride injury. Significant decreases in the mean of non-linear regression curves fit to the histograms of minimum feret diameter distributions were observed 7 days and 28 days post injury. Elevated numbers of myogenin positive cells (3-fold increase) supportive of the differentiation defects observed in vitro were observed 28 days post injury. Metabolic profiling and functional metabolic assessment of myoblasts revealed that succinate elevation caused both widespread metabolic changes and significantly lowered maximal cellular respiration (~35% decrease).ConclusionsThis study broadens the repertoire of wasting-associated factors that can directly modulate muscle progenitor cell function and strengthens the hypothesis that metabolic derangements are significant contributors to impaired muscle regeneration, an important aspect of cancer-associated muscle wasting.
