Loss of ARNT Impair Adaptability of Muscular Exercise in Aged Mice

ABSTRACT: The adaptation of regimented exercise in skeletal muscle including muscular hypertrophy and enhanced strength decline significantly with aging. Transcriptome analysis following RNA sequencing reveals extensive activation of hypoxia-related genes in young exercised mice versus the sedentary, but absent in aged exercised mice. Particularly, less expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor translocator (ARNT) was observed in response to exercise in aged mice. Young mice underwent skeletal muscle-specific knockout of ARNT (ARNT mKO) obtain deficient benefit from exercise resembling the aged mice. The deletion of ARNT associated with decreased expression of Notch1 intracellular domain(N1ICD) impair muscle hypertrophy and regeneration. Administration of ML228, a systematic agonist of ARNT, rescued skeletal muscle adaptabilities in old mice, which was suppressed by administrating N1ICD inhibitor(DAPT). These results suggest that the loss of skeletal muscle ARNT is partially responsible for diminished response to exercise in aging and activation of hypoxia signaling holds promise for rescuing the adaptability in aged muscle.

Project description:The adult skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue with a remarkable ability to adapt to different levels of activity by altering its excitability, its contractile and metabolic phenotype and its mass. Knowledge on the mechanisms responsible for muscle mass comes primarily from models of muscle inactivity or denervation or from genetic models of muscle diseases. Given that the underlying exercise-induced transcriptional mechanisms regulating muscle mass are not fully understood, here we investigated the cellular and molecular adaptive mechanisms taking place in fast skeletal muscle of adult zebrafish in response to swimming. Fish were trained at low swimming speed (0.1 m/s; non-exercised) or at their optimal swimming speed (0.4 m/s; exercised). A significant increase in fibre cross-sectional area (1,290 M-BM-1 88 vs. 1,665 M-BM-1 106 M-NM-<m2) and vascularization (298 M-BM-1 23 vs. 458 M-BM-1 38 capillaries/mm2) was found in exercised over non-exercised fish. Gene expression profiling evidenced the transcriptional activation of a series of complex networks of extracellular and intracellular signaling molecules and pathways involved in the regulation of muscle mass, myogenesis and angiogenesis, many (e.g. BMP, TGFM-oM-^AM-", FGF, Notch, Wnt, MEF2, Shh, EphrinB2) not previously associated with exercise-induced contractile activity, and that recapitulate in part the transcriptional events occurring during skeletal muscle regeneration. These results demonstrate that fibre hypertrophy is responsible for the growth-promoting effects of exercise accompanied by a switch to a more oxidative capacity of white muscle fibres to fuel the increased energy demands. Importantly, our study identified novel molecular mechanisms regulating muscle mass and function in vertebrates. Adult zebrafish were subjected or not to a swim training regime consisting of swimming at the optimal swimming speed for this species for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for a total of 4 weeks (20 experimental days). Total RNA of fast muscle from individual non-exercised (n = 8) and exercised (n = 8) zebrafish was analyzed.
