Myf6/MRF4 Mediated Myokine Signaling is Required for the Maintenance of the Adult Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Pool

ABSTRACT: In metazoans, skeletal muscle evolved to contract and to produce force. Recent experimental evidence suggests, however, that skeletal muscle has also acquired endocrine functions and produces a vast array of myokines, but how myokine production is regulated and how they affect the resident stem cell population of the skeletal muscle is unknown. Here, we show that in adult skeletal muscle, Myf6/MRF4 is a major regulator of myokine expression. Genetic deletion of Myf6 in skeletal muscles leads to exhaustion of the muscle stem cell (MuSCs) pool in adult mice in a myokine-dependent manner but, surprisingly, does not disrupt muscle differentiation. Using ChIP-Seq and gene expression analyses of myogenic factors, we show that Myf6/MRF4 is essential for the transcriptional activation of many myokines and muscle-secreted proteins, including ligands for canonical signaling pathways such as EGFR, VEGFR and STAT3. Consequently, MuSCs from Myf6 knockout animals show impaired activation of those signaling pathways and exhibit impaired quiescence, defective self-renewal, but nevertheless undergo differentiation. Lastly, we show that induction of myokine expression during aerobic and anaerobic exercise closely correlates with Myf6 expression. Together, these findings indicate that control of myokine signaling by Myf6 is critical to maintain muscle stem cell pool in adult skeletal muscle.

RNA-Seq of Myf6-knockout versus Wild-type satellite cells

Project description:In metazoans, skeletal muscle evolved to contract and produce force. Recent experimental evidence, however, suggests that skeletal muscle has also acquired endocrine functions and produces a vast array of muscle-derived cytokines and growth factors, collectively called myokines. The mechanisms that regulate myokine production and their effect on the resident stem cell population inskeletal muscle remain unknown. Here, we report that in adult skeletal muscle, Myf6/MRF4 is a major regulator of myokine expression. Genetic deletion of Myf6 in skeletal muscle leads to reduction of the muscle stem cell (MuSCs) pool in adult mice in a myokine-dependent manner but, surprisingly, does not disrupt muscle differentiation. Using ChIP-Seq and gene expression analyses of myogenic factors, we show that Myf6/MRF4 is a direct regulator of many myokines and muscle-secreted proteins, including ligands for canonical signaling pathways such as EGFR and VEGFR. Consequently, in Myf6-deficient animals,MuSCs increasingly break quiescence, but can nevertheless undergo differentiation. Lastly, we show that Myf6 and its gene network rapidly respondto aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Together, these findings indicate that control of myokine signaling by Myf6 is critical to maintain muscle stem cell pool and skeletal muscle function via myokine signaling.

MRF4 negatively regulates adult skeletal muscle growth by repressing MEF2 activity

Project description:The myogenic regulatory factor MRF4 is expressed at high levels in myofibers of adult skeletal muscle, but its function is unknown. Here we show that knockdown of MRF4 in adult muscle causes hypertrophy and prevents denervation-induced atrophy. This effect is accompanied by increased protein synthesis and the widespread activation of genes involved in muscle contraction, excitation-contraction coupling and energy metabolism, many of which are known targets of MEF2 transcription factors. Genes regulated by MEF2 represent the top-ranking gene set enriched after Mrf4 RNAi, and a MEF2 reporter is inhibited by co-transfected MRF4 and activated by Mrf4 RNAi. The role of MEF2 in mediating the effect of MRF4 knockdown is supported by the finding that Mrf4 RNAi-dependent increase in fiber size is prevented by dominant negative MEF2, while constitutively active MEF2 is able to induce myofiber hypertrophy. The nuclear localization of the MEF2 co-repressor HDAC4 is impaired by Mrf4 knockdown, suggesting that MRF4 acts by stabilizing a repressor complex that controls MEF2 activity. The demonstration that fiber size in adult skeletal muscle is controlled by the MRF4-MEF2 axis opens new perspectives in the search for therapeutic targets to prevent muscle wasting, in particular sarcopenia and cachexia. Adult innervated and denervated rat soleus muscles were transfected with shRNA to Mrf4 (M1) or to LacZ as a control. Muscles were dissected and examined after 7 days. For each group/condition we selected three different muscles (biological replicas).

Annotating the secretome of mature primary human muscle cells

Project description:The Skeletal muscle is a metabolic active tissue that secretes various proteins. These so called myokines act auto-, para- and endocrine affecting muscle physiology and exert systemic effects on other tissues and organs. Myokines are also described to play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases. Combining three different mass spectrometry based non-targeted and one antibody based targeted approach we investigated the secretome of differentiated primary human skeletal muscle cells derived from adult donors. A total of 548 non-redundant proteins were detected by combined proteomic profiling. Expression was confirmed on mRNA level for 501. Stringent consecutive filtering recruiting several database, i.e. SignalP, SecretomeP and ER_retention signals, the computational analysis assigned 306 as secretory proteins including 33 potentially novel myokines. This comprehensive profiling study of the human skeletal muscle secretome expands our knowledge of the composition of the human myokinome and further highlights the pivotal role of myokines in the regulation of multiple biological processes. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of primary human myotubes derived from twelve healthy individuals

Sex hormones control muscle stem cells

Project description:Quiescent adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) regenerate skeletal muscle upon injury throughout life. However, aged skeletal muscles fail to maintain stem cell quiescence, leading to declines in MuSC number and functionality. Although autophagy plays an important role in the maintenance of MuSC quiescence, how quiescent MuSCs and their autophagy levels are maintained throughout life is largely unknown. The current study reveals how GnRH, a hypothalamic hormone, maintains the quiescence of adult MuSCs by preventing the onset of senescence and how the decline of sex steroids in organismal ageing is implicated in MuSC ageing.

Deep proteome of aging skeletal muscles reveals Smoc2 as a modulator of satellite cell regenerative capacity

Project description:During aging, the number and functionality of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) decreases leading to impaired regeneration of aged skeletal muscle. In addition to intrinsic changes in aged MuSCs, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins deriving from other cell types, e.g., fibrogenic-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs), contribute to the aging phenotype of MuSCs and impaired regeneration in the elderly. So far, no comprehensive analysis on how age-dependent changes in the whole skeletal muscle proteome affect MuSC function have been conducted. Here, we investigated age-dependent changes in the proteome of different skeletal muscle types by applying deep quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 183 extracellular matrix proteins that show different abundances in skeletal muscles of old mice. By integrating single cell sequencing data, we reveal that transcripts of those ECM proteins are mainly expressed in FAPs, suggesting that FAPs are the main contributors to ECM remodelling during aging. We functionally investigated one of those ECM molecules, namely Smoc2, which is aberrantly expressed during aging. We show that Smoc2 levels are elevated during regeneration and that its accumulation in the aged MuSC niche causes impairment of MuSCs function through constant activation of integrin/MAPK signaling. In vivo, supplementation of exogenous Smoc2 hampers the regeneration of young muscles following serial injuries, leading to a phenotype reminiscent of regenerating aged skeletal muscle. Taken together, we provide a comprehensive resource of changes in the composition of the ECM of aged skeletal muscles, we pinpoint the cell types driving these changes, and we identify a new niche protein causing functional impairment of MuSCs thereby hampering the regeneration capacity of skeletal muscles.

Combination of high-dimensional approaches for skeletal muscle tissue cartography

Project description:The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle relies on muscle stem cells (MuSCs, or satellite cells) and its niche interactions with different neighboring cells. To understand the cellular diversity within adult skeletal muscle tissue, we harvested mononuclear cells from hindlimb skeletal muscles, sorted into single cells and profiled them by single-cell RNA-seq. To further understand and compare the expression profile between MuSCs and a novel smooth-muscle/mesenchymal-like cells (SMMCs) population, we isolated the two cell types by FACS and profiled them respectively by bulk RNA-seq.
