Differentiation reveals the plasticity of age-related change in murine muscle progenitors

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle experiences a decline in lean mass and regenerative potential with age, in part due to intrinsic changes in progenitor cells. However, it remains unclear if age-related changes in progenitors persist across a differentiation trajectory or if new age-related changes manifest in differentiated cells. To investigate this possibility, we performed single cell RNA-seq on muscle mononuclear cells from young and aged mice and profiled muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and fibro/adipose progenitors (FAPs) after differentiation. Differentiation increased the magnitude of age-related change in MuSCs and FAPs, but also masked a subset of age-related changes present in progenitors. Using a dynamical systems approach and RNA velocity, we found that aged MuSCs follow the same differentiation trajectory as young cells, but stall in differentiation near a commitment decision. Our results suggest that age-related changes are plastic across differentiation trajectories and that fate commitment decisions are delayed in aged myogenic cells.

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.

Transcriptomic profiling of mouse C2C12 myoblast treated with recombinant protein GDF10 in vitro

Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate how GDF10 regulates early myoblast differentiation and fusion. We found that melatonin can enhance fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) paracrine signaling to support muscle regeneration. Through combining transcriptome analysis and single-cell transcriptome analysis, we identified GDF10 as a type of myogenic factor specifically secreted by FAPs, which plays a beneficial role in promoting muscle fiber development and regeneration. To determine the underlying mechanism by which GDF10 regulates myogenesis, we performed RNA-seq on myoblasts treated with GDF10 or vehicle for 6 hours in vitro. We found that GDF10 promoted myoblast fusion by regulating LKB1-AMPK-MYOG-MYMK signaling during differentiation. In summary, our study revealed novel insights into the mechanism by which melatonin promotes muscle regeneration by mediating the interplay between FAPs and muscle stem cells (MuSCs).

Mechanotherapy promotes extracellular matrix remodeling in aged rat muscle recovering from disuse by reprogramming intercellular communication

Project description:A mechanistic understanding of the age-related impairment to skeletal muscle regrowth following disuse atrophy as well as therapies to augment recovery in the aged are currently lacking. Mechanotherapy in the form of cyclic compressive loading has been shown to benefit skeletal muscle under a variety of paradigms, but not during the recovery from disuse in aged muscle. To determine whether mechanotherapy promotes extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, a critical aspect of muscle recovery after atrophy, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of gastrocnemius muscle cell populations, stable isotope tracing of intramuscular collagen, and histology of the ECM in adult and aged rats recovering from disuse, with and without mechanotherapy. ECM remodeling-related gene expression in fibro-adipose progenitor cells (FAPs) was absent in aged compared to adult muscle following 7 days of recovery, and instead were enriched in chemoattractant genes. There was a significantly lower expression of genes related to phagocytic activity in aged macrophages during recovery, despite enriched chemokine gene expression of numerous stromal cell populations, including FAPs and endothelial cells. Mechanotherapy reprogrammed the transcriptomes of both FAPs and macrophages in aged muscle recovering from disuse to restore ECM-and phagocytosis-related gene expression, respectively. Stable isotope labeling of intramuscular collagen and histological evaluation confirmed mechanotherapy-mediated remodeling of the ECM in aged muscle recovering from disuse. In summary, our results highlight mechanisms underlying age-related impairments during the recovery from disuse atrophy and promote mechanotherapy as an intervention that reprograms the muscle transcriptional environment more similar to that of adult skeletal muscle.

Single cell RNA-seq comparing regeneration of young and aged skeletal muscles

Project description:Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) play key roles in regulating differentiation and function of stem cells, including muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), a resident stem cell population responsible for postnatal regeneration of the skeletal muscle. Sox11 belongs to the Sry-related HMG-box (SOX) family of TFs that play diverse roles in stem cell behavior and tissue specification. Analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets identify a specific enrichment of Sox11 mRNA in differentiating but not quiescent MuSCs. Consistent with the scRNA-seq data, Sox11 levels increase during differentiation of murine primary myoblasts in vitro. scRNA-seq data comparing muscle regeneration in young and old mice further demonstrate that Sox11 expression is reduced in aged MuSCs. Age-related decline of Sox11 expression is associated with reduced chromatin contacts within the topologically associated domains. Unexpectedly, Myod1Cre-driven deletion of Sox11 in embryonic myoblasts has no effects on muscle development and growth, resulting in apparently healthy muscles that regenerate normally. Pax7CreER or Rosa26CreER driven (MuSC-specific or global) deletion of Sox11 in adult mice similarly has no effects on MuSC differentiation or muscle regeneration. These results identify Sox11 as a novel myogenic differentiation marker with reduced expression in quiescent and aged MuSCs, but the specific function of Sox11 in myogenesis remain to be elucidated.

Changes of the muscle stem cell niche during aging

Project description:During aging, the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle decreases due to intrinsic changes in muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and alterations in their niche. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize intrinsic changes in the MuSC proteome and remodeling of the MuSC niche during aging. We generated a network connecting age-affected ligands located in the niche and cell surface receptors on MuSCs. Thereby, we revealed signaling via Integrins, Lrp1, Egfr and Cd44 as the major cell communication axes perturbed through aging. We investigated the effect of Smoc2, a secreted protein that accumulates with aging, originating from fibro-adipogenic progenitors. Increased levels of Smoc2 contribute to the aberrant Itgb1/MAPK signaling observed during aging, thereby causing impaired MuSC functionality and muscle regeneration. By connecting changes in the proteome of MuSCs to alterations of their niche, our work will enable a better understanding of how MuSCs are affected during aging.

Fibro-adipogenic progenitors of dystrophic mice are insensitive to NOTCH regulation of adipogenesis

Project description:Fibro adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) promote satellite cell differentiation in adult skeletal muscle regeneration. However, in pathological conditions, FAPs are responsible for fibrosis and fatty infiltrations. Here we show that the NOTCH pathway negatively modulates FAP differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. However, FAPs isolated from young dystrophin- deficient mdx mice are insensitive to this control mechanism. An unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of FAPs from muscles of wild type and mdx mice, suggest that the synergistic cooperation between NOTCH and inflammatory signals controls FAP differentiation. Remarkably, we demonstrated that factors released by hematopoietic cells restore the sensitivity to NOTCH adipogenic inhibition in mdx FAPs. These results offer a basis for rationalizing pathological ectopic fat infiltrations in skeletal muscle and may suggest new therapeutic strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of fat depositions in muscles of dystrophic patients.

Interstitial mesenchymal cells in skeletal muscle

Project description:Skeletal muscle tissues are comprised of muscle fibers, muscle stem cells (MuSCs), immune cells, endothelial cells, motor/sensory nerves with Schwann cells, and interstitial mesenchymal cells. Each cell population plays a unique role in muscle physiology and homeostasis. The mesenchymal progenitors in the skeletal muscle have been identified as a subpopulation that reside between muscle fibers, whose role is to coordinate muscle regeneration in a finely tuned manner by supporting the expansion and differentiation of MuSCs. These cells have been referred to as fibro/adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs), termed according to their differentiation potentials in specific in vitro culture conditions and known to cause fibrous tissue and fatty degeneration under pathological environments and result in compromised muscle function. To gain insight into how Bap1 plays a role in skeletal muscle homeostasis, we performed RNA sequencing analysis using freshly isolated Sca1 positive cells from 1.5-week-old WT or cKO hindlimb muscles
