Inositol Trisphosphate Receptor Mediated Ca2+ Signalling Stimulates Mitochondrial Function and Gene Expression in Core Myopathy Patients [Mouse arrays]

ABSTRACT: Elevated inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) levels have been previously reported in skeletal muscle myotubes derived from patients with ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) mutation related core myopathies. However, the functional relevance and the relationship of IP3R mediated Ca2+ signalling with the pathophysiology of the disease is unclear. It has also been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction underlies the development of central and diffuse multi-mini-cores, devoid of mitochondrial activity, a key pathological consequence of RyR1 mutations. Here we used muscle biopsies of central core and multi-minicore disease patients with RyR1 mutations, as well as cellular and in vivo mouse models of the disease to characterise whole genome and mitochondrial gene expression to assess if remodeling of skeletal muscle following loss of functional RyR1 mediates bioenergetic adaptation.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate alterations in subcutaneous white adipose gene expression induced by genetic AMPK activation in vivo, in mice fed a chow or a high-fat diet. Methods: Subcutaneous white adipose tissue mRNA profiles of wild-type transgenic (WT-Tg) mice and mice expressing a gain-of-function AMPK mutant gamma1 subunit (D316A-Tg) were generated by deep sequencing. Results: RNA sequencing revealed over 3000 differentially expressed genes between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WATsc) from mice fed a high fat diet (HFD), of which many were classified as 'skeletal muscle-associated'. Interestingly, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), associated with 'beige' adipocyte formation in WATsc, was not differentially expressed. On a chow diet, many differentially expressed genes were also identified, with gene ontology analysis identifiying glycolysis, TCA cycle and brown fat differentiation as highly enriched; key features of brown adipocyte identity. HFD-associated skeletal-muscle associated gene expression was either not significantly altered, or significantly down-regulated on a chow diet, indicating a diet-induced gene signature in D316A-Tg WATsc. Conclusions: Our study revealed gene signatures indicative of brown adipocyte development on a chow diet, where no overt metabolic phenotype was observed in gain-of-function animals. When fed a HFD, WATsc from D316A-Tg mice displayed a muscle-like gene signature, expressing key components of creatine and calcium thermogenic cycles including Ckmt2 (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2) Atp2a1 (SERCA1-sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase 1) and ryr1 (ryanodine receptor 1). UCP1 expression was not altered between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg mice fed a HFD. Our findings suggest a novel role for AMPK in the regulation of white adipocyte identity and a potentially novel cell population that, when metabolically challenged, preferrentially utilise muscle-like thermogenic futile cycles independent of UCP1 to mediate whole organism energy expenditure.
