Project description:To uncover new pathways that are important for skeletal muscle stem cell aging, we performed multiomics profiling, including transcriptomics, DNA methylomics, proteomics, and metabolomics on quiescent muscle stem cells from young and old mice. Our goals were to discover pathways that have been overlooked by isolated profiling approaches and to gain insight into which changes are causal, compensatory, correlational, and consequential. In our work, we found that glutathione metabolism is a key pathway of muscle stem cell aging that involves a compensatory feedback loop. Follow-up experiments showed that old muscle stem cells actually form a dichotomy between glutathione-high muscle stem cells and glutathione-low muscle stem cells. RNA-Seq showed that glutathione-high old muscle stem cells are able to synthesize adequate glutathione and thus compensate adequately for oxidative stress with increased glutathione turnover, while glutathione-low old muscle stem cells have failed to compensate for oxidative stress metabolically and instead show increased inflammatory signaling.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are required for muscle regeneration. In resting muscles, MuSCs are kept in quiescence. After injury, MuSCs undergo rapid activation, proliferation and differentiation to repair damaged muscles. Age-associated impairments in stem cell functions correlate with a decline in somatic tissue regeneration capacity during aging. However, the mechanisms underlying the molecular regulation of adult stem cell aging remain elusive. Here, we obtained quisecent MuSCs from young, old, geriatric mice for high resolution mass spectrometry Bruker timsTOF Pro. By comparison of young proteome to old MuSCs proteome or geriatric MuSC proteome, we identified the pathways that are differentially during aging.

Project description:Voluntary exercise enhances old skeletal muscle stem cell (MuSC) function in vivo and ex vivo, dependent on upregulation of Ccnd1. To determine the transcriptional changes associated with these phenotypes, RNA-Seq was performed on MuSCs from young and old mice that had exercised or not exercised, and from young mice with MuSC-specific loss-of-function deletions in zero, one, or both alleles of Ccnd1.

Project description:We show that Tubastatin A (TubA) preserves MuSC quiescence and stem cell potency ex vivo, by inhibiting HDAC6 and, consequently, primary cilium resorption. Treatment with TubA improves MuSC engraftment potential and induces a return to quiescence in cycling MuSCs, revealing a potentially valuable approach to enhancing the therapeutic potential of MuSCs. To examine the state of quiescence preserved by TubA at the transcriptome level, we performed RNA-Seq and we found that TubA-treated MuSCs exhibit a quiescent transcriptome. The molecular mechanisms involved in the maintenance of quiescence by TubA were ribosome- and oxidative phosphorylation-related genes as well as low expression levels of cell cycle genes and Hh signaling genes.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSC) exhibit distinct behaviors during successive phases of developmental myogenesis. However, how their transition to adulthood is regulated is poorly understood. Here we show that fetal MuSC resist progenitor specification and exhibit altered division dynamics, intrinsic features that are progressively lost postnatally. Following transplantation, fetal MuSC more efficiently expand and contribute to muscle repair. Conversely, the efficiency of niche colonization increases in adulthood, indicating a balance between muscle growth and stem cell pool repopulation. Gene expression profiling identified several extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules preferentially expressed in fetal MuSC, including tenascin-C, fibronectin and collagen VI. Loss-of-function experiments confirmed their essential and stage-specific role in regulating MuSC function. Finally, fetal-derived paracrine factors were able to enhance adult MuSC regenerative potential. Together, these findings demonstrate that MuSC change the way in which they remodel their microenvironment to direct stem cell behavior in support of the unique demands of muscle development or repair. MuSCs were isolated through fluorescent-activate cell sorting usinf alpha7-integirn and CD34 as markers to identify the cell population. Total mRNA was then isolated, and samples at different developmental times were compared.

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.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle function crucially depends on motor innervation and after injury on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, it is poorly understood how innervation affects MuSC properties. Methods: We investigated the alterations of MuSCs and their immediate niche, the myofiber, after denervation in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to transcriptomics and proteomics analyses to investigate which changes occur after denervation. We performed Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, MuSC transplantation and floating myofiber cultures to assess MuSC functionality after denervation in addition to bioinformatics and histological analyses. Results: We observed a significant increase in the number of MuSCs (Pax7 positive; p-value= 0.0441), proliferating MuSCs (Pax7/Ki67 positive; p-value= 0.0023), activated MuSCs (MyoD positive; p-value= 0.0016) and differentiating MuSCs (Myog positive; p-value= 0.0057) after denervation. This aberrant activation and premature commitment of MuSCs to the myogenic lineage was accompanied by profound alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, adj. p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level after denervation. MuSCs from denervated hosts still engrafted and fused to form new myofibers irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient, suggesting the MuSC niche is driving alterations in MuSCs after denervation. The myofiber transcriptome after denervation showed massive changes in the general expression profile (10492 DEGs, p-value <0.05) and in several predicted secreted factors. Incubation of myofiber-associated MuSCs with supernatant from denervated myofibers increased cluster formation, reinforcing myofibers as a source of secreted factors driving MuSC alterations after denervation. Opn and Tgfb1 showed an increased secretion by denervated myofibers (30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively), and incubation with Tgfb1 alone induced Junb expression in myogenic cells, one of the genes highly upregulated in MuSCs after denervation (p-value= 1.85e-18, log2fc= 3.27), demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands influence MuSC gene expression. A combination of skeletal muscle injury and denervation led to reduced numbers of proliferating MuSCs (Sham: 47 vs DEN: 19.75 cells per cross section 10 days post-injury) and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers 21 days post-injury), indicating hampered MuSC functionality due to changes in the microenvironment. Conclusion: Denervation of skeletal muscle causes alterations in myofiber secretion, leading to activation and profound changes of MuSCs, ultimately resulting in a reduced regenerative capacity. As these alterations are partially reversible, MuSCs are a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.

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.
