Project description:Exercise is a powerful driver of physiological angiogenesis during adulthood, but the mechanisms of exercise-induced vascular expansion are poorly understood. We explored endothelial heterogeneity in skeletal muscle and identified two capillary muscle endothelial cells (mEC) populations which are characterized by differential expression of ATF3/4. Spatial mapping showed that ATF3/4 + mECs are enriched in red oxidative muscle areas while ATF3/4 low ECs lie adjacent to white glycolytic fibers. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that red ATF3/4 + mECs are more angiogenic when compared to white ATF3/4 low mECs. Mechanistically, ATF3/4 in mECs control genes involved in amino acid uptake and metabolism and metabolically prime red (ATF3/4 + ) mECs for angiogenesis. As a consequence, supplementation of non-essential amino acids and overexpression of ATF4 increased proliferation of white mECs. Finally, deleting Atf4 in ECs impaired exercise-induced angiogenesis. Our findings illustrate that spatial metabolic angiodiversity determines the angiogenic potential of muscle ECs.

Project description:Loss of skeletal muscle mass during aging, also known as sarcopenia, is a worldwide health problem. The etiology of sarcopenia remains unknown; however, recent studies revealed that sedentarism, fat gain, and epigenetic regulators such as miRNAs are critical regulators in its developing. One effective intervention to prevent and treat sarcopenia is aerobic exercise. We used miRNA microarrays to determine the changes in miRNA expression through time and the differences between sedentary and lifelong exercised rats.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a serious and highly prevalent condition that remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Previous work found that skeletal muscle atrophy involves an increase in skeletal muscle Gadd45a expression, which is necessary and sufficient for skeletal muscle fiber atrophy. However, the direct mechanism by which Gadd45a promotes skeletal muscle atrophy was unknown. To address this question, we biochemically isolated skeletal muscle fiber proteins that associate with Gadd45a as it induces skeletal muscle atrophy in living mice. We found that Gadd45a interacts with multiple proteins in skeletal muscle fibers, including, most prominently, the MAP kinase kinase kinase MEKK4. Furthermore, by forming a complex with MEKK4 in skeletal muscle fibers, Gadd45a increases MEKK4 protein kinase activity, which is sufficient to induce skeletal muscle fiber atrophy and required for Gadd45a-mediated skeletal muscle fiber atrophy. Together, these results identify a direct biochemical mechanism by which Gadd45a induces skeletal muscle atrophy and provide new insight into way that skeletal muscle atrophy occurs at the molecular level.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue consisting of blood vessels, connective tissue, and muscle fibers. The last are highly adaptive and can change their molecular composition depending on external and internal factors, such as exercise, age, and disease. Thus, examination of the skeletal muscles at the fiber type level is essential to detect potential alterations. Therefore, we established a protocol in which myosin heavy chain isoform immunolabeled muscle fibers were laser microdissected and separately investigated by mass spectrometry to develop advanced proteomic profiles of all murine skeletal muscle fiber types. Our in-depth mass spectrometric analysis revealed unique fiber type protein profiles, confirming fiber type-specific metabolic properties and revealing a more versatile function of type IIx fibers. Furthermore, we found that multiple myopathy-associated proteins were enriched in type I and IIa fibers. To further optimize the assignment of fiber types based on the protein profile, we developed a hypothesis-free machine-learning approach (available at: https://github.com/mpc-bioinformatics/FiPSPi), identified a discriminative peptide panel, and confirmed our panel using a public data set.

Project description:Objective: Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous and dynamic tissue that adapts to functional demands and substrate availability by modulating muscle fiber size and type. The concept of muscle fiber type relates to its contractile (slow or fast) and metabolic (glycolytic or oxidative) properties. Here, we tested whether disruptions in muscle oxidative catabolism are sufficient to prompt parallel adaptations in energetics and contractile protein composition.
Conclusion: The loss of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation elicits an adaptive response involving conversion of oxidative muscle towards a metabolic profile that resembles a glycolytic muscle but that is not accompanied by changes in myosin heavy chain isoforms. These data suggest that shifts in muscle catabolism are not sufficient to drive shifts in the contractile apparatus but are sufficient to drive adaptive changes in metabolic properties.

Project description:Skeletal muscle fiber composition and muscle energetics are not static and change in muscle disease. This study was performed to determine if a mitochondrial myopathy is associated with adjustments in skelatal fiber type composition. These effects of drug induced mitochondrial dysfunction on skeletal muscle fiber type composition were analyzed in an animal model.

Project description:Skeletal muscle function is vital to movement, thermogenesis and metabolism. Muscle fibers differ in contractile ability, mitochondrial content and metabolic properties and muscle fiber transition influences muscle function. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle fiber transition in muscle function are unclear. Here, in over 150 human muscle samples, we observed that markers of oxidative muscle fiber and mitochondria correlate positively with PPARGC1 and CDK4, and, negatively with CDKN2A, a locus significantly associated with type 2 diabetes. Mice expressing an overactive Cdk4 that cannot bind its inhibitor p16INK4a, a product of the CDKN2A locus, are longer, leaner, exhibit increased oxidative myofibers with superior mitochondrial energetics, display enhanced muscle glucose uptake, and are protected from obesity and diabetes. In contrast, Cdk4-deficiency, or skeletal muscle-specific deletion of Cdk4’s transcriptional target, E2F3, reduces oxidative myofiber numbers, deteriorates mitochondrial function and exercise capacity, while increasing diabetes susceptibility. E2F3 activates the PPARGC1 promoter and CDK4/E2F3/PPARGC1 levels correlate positively with exercise and fitness, and negatively with adiposity, insulin resistance and lipid accumulation in muscle. These findings provide insight into oxidative muscle fiber transition and function that is of relevance to metabolic and muscular diseases.

Project description:Although skeletal muscle metabolism is a well-studied physiological process, little is known about how it is regulated at the transcriptional level. The myogenic transcription factor myogenin is required for skeletal muscle development during embryonic and fetal life, but myogenin’s role in adult skeletal muscle is unclear. We sought to determine myogenin’s function in adult muscle metabolism. A Myog conditional allele and Cre-ER transgene were used to delete Myog in adult mice. Mice were analyzed for exercise capacity by involuntary treadmill running. To assess oxidative and glycolytic metabolism, we monitored blood glucose and lactate levels and performed histochemical analysis on muscle fibers. Surprisingly, we found that Myog-deleted mice performed significantly better than controls in high- and low-intensity treadmill running. This enhanced exercise capacity was due to more efficient oxidative metabolism during low-intensity exercise and more efficient glycolytic metabolism during high-intensity exercise. Furthermore, Myog-deleted mice had an enhanced response to long-term voluntary exercise training on running wheels. We identified several candidate genes whose expression was altered in exercise-stressed muscle of mice lacking myogenin. The results suggest that myogenin plays a critical role as a high-level transcriptional regulator to control the energy balance between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism in adult skeletal muscle. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying enhanced exercise endurance associated with myog-deletion and long-term exercise training.

We chose 3 wild type and 3 myog-deleted mice that best represented the average of each larger group that was tested during our mouse exercise studies.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a complex heterogeneous tissue comprised of diverse muscle fiber and non-fiber cell types that, in addition to movement, influences other systems such as immunity, metabolism and cognition. We investigated gene expression patterns of resident human skeletal muscle cells using both single-cell RNA-seq and RNA-seq of single muscle fiber dissections from vastus lateralis. We generated transcriptome profiles of the major multinucleated human skeletal muscle fiber-types as well as 11 human skeletal muscle mononuclear cell types, including immune, endothelial, pericyte and satellite cells. We delineated two fibro-adipogenic progenitor cell subtypes that may contribute to heterotopic ossification and muscular dystrophy fibrosis under pathological conditions. An important application of cell type signatures is for computational deconvolution of cell type specific gene expression changes using data from bulk transcriptome experiments. Analysis of transcriptome data from a 12 week resistance exercise training study using these human skeletal muscle cell-type signatures revealed significant changes in specific mononuclear cell-type proportions related to age, sex, acute exercise and training. This characterization of human skeletal muscle cell types will resolve cell-type specific changes in large-scale physical activity muscle transcriptome studies and can further the understanding of the diverse effects of exercise and the pathophysiology of muscle disease.
