Pro-cachectic factors link experimental and human chronic kidney disease to skeletal muscle wasting programs

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle wasting is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. However, the link between kidney and muscle function remains poorly understood. Here, we took a complementary interorgan approach to investigate skeletal muscle wasting in CKD. We identified an increased production and elevated blood levels of soluble pro-cachectic factor Activin A, directly linking experimental and human CKD to skeletal muscle wasting programs. Single cell sequencing data identified the expression of Activin A in specific kidney cell populations, namely a subpopulation of fibroblasts and cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. Based on our findings, we propose that persistent and increased kidney production of pro-cachectic factors combined with a lack of kidney clearance facilitate a vicious signalling kidney-muscle cycle, leading to exacerbated blood accumulation of Activin A, and thereby skeletal muscle wasting in CKD.

Pro-cachectic factors link experimental and human chronic kidney disease to skeletal muscle wasting programs

Project description:Skeletal muscle wasting is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. However, the link between kidney and muscle function remains poorly understood. Here, we took a complementary interorgan approach to investigate skeletal muscle wasting in CKD. We identified an increased production and elevated blood levels of soluble pro-cachectic factor Activin A, directly linking experimental and human CKD to skeletal muscle wasting programs. Systemic pharmacological blockade of Activin A using soluble activin receptor type IIB ligand trap prevented muscle wasting in a mouse model of experimental CKD.

Water-soluble dietary fiber alleviates cancer-induced muscle wasting through changes in gut microenvironment in mice

Project description:Cancer cachexia and the associated skeletal muscle wasting are considered poor prognostic factors, although effective treatment has not yet been established. Recent studies have indicated that the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle loss may involve dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and the accompanying chronic inflammation or altered metabolism. In this study, we evaluated the possible effects of modifying the gut microenvironment with partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), a soluble dietary fiber, on cancer-related muscle wasting and its mechanism using a colon-26 murine cachexia model. Compared to a fiber-free (FF) diet, PHGG contained fiber-rich (FR) diet attenuated skeletal muscle loss in cachectic mice by suppressing the elevation of the major muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases Atrogin-1 and MuRF1, as well as the autophagy markers LC3 and Bnip3. Although tight junction markers were partially reduced in both FR and FF diet-fed cachectic mice, the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Akkermansia, and unclassified S24-7 family increased by FR diet, contributing to the retention of the colonic mucus layer. The reinforcement of the gut barrier function resulted in the controlled entry of pathogens into the host system and reduced circulating levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and IL-6, which in turn led to the suppression of proteolysis by downregulating the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy pathway. These results suggest that dietary fiber may have the potential to alleviate skeletal muscle loss in cancer cachexia, providing new insights for developing effective strategies in the future.

Pancreatic cancer-induced cachexia syndrome

Project description:Cancer cachexia syndrome is observed in 80% of patients with advanced-stage cancer, and it is one of the most frequent causes of death. Severe wasting accounts for more than 80% in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Here we wanted to define, by using an microarray approach and the Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl, the pathways involved in muscle, liver and white adipose tissue wasting. The aim of our work was to characterize as extensively as possible the pathways activated by the pancreatic cancer-induced cachectic tissues. For this purpose, we generated and compared genome-wide expression profiles of white adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver, from Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl and LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl mice at 10 weeks-old. Tissue samples by triplicate was obtained from liver, muscle and adipose tissues in both groups, controls and cachectic mice. Total RNA samples was processed and profiled on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays as previously described (Cano et al, 2012)

ACVR2B antagonism preserves skeletal muscle and cardiac function in metastatic colorectal cancer

Project description:Advanced colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide and is often accompanied by the development of liver metastases, as well as cachexia, a multi-organ wasting syndrome inclusive of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Activin receptor type 2B (ACVR2B)-mediated signaling participates in causing skeletal wasting in several disease conditions, and its inhibition restores skeletal muscle mass and prolongs survival in cancer cacehxia. Here we wanted to asses whether ACVR2B antagonism could preserve skeletal and cardiac muscle mass and function in a model of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Muscle fibrosis in chronic kidney disease

Project description:Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at markedly increased risk of disability, hospitalization, and death. Impaired physical function, which is common in CKD, is a major risk factor for these poor outcomes. CKD patients perform substantially below age-predicted norms on a variety of clinically relevant physical performance tests. Altered muscle physiology is an important cause of these functional deficits. We recently described skeletal muscle fibrosis in the vastus lateralis muscle of patients with severely impaired kidney function. Greater severity of fibrosis was associated with lower leg extension strength and reduced endurance capacity, suggesting that muscle fibrosis in CKD patients is functionally significant. An important unanswered question is whether muscle fibrosis in CKD is a slowly progressive process beginning with early loss of kidney function, or a complication observed only with severe disease. Here, we examined the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (a measure of kidney function) with measures of fibrosis across a broad range of kidney function, and tested the effect of receiving treatment with dialysis. We also integrated muscle transcriptomic analyses to provide further insight into this novel aspect of muscle pathology in CKD.

microRNA expression in gastrocnemicus muscle of control, SB431542 treated and cachectic mice

Project description:Cancer mediated activation of the ActRIIB-ALK4/5 heterodimer by myostatin is strongly associated with muscle wasting. Progressive skeletal muscle wasting, with or without loss of adipose tissue, is observed in up to 50 per cent of all cancer patients. This multifactorial syndrome is known as cachexia, and cannot be fully reversed by conventional nutritional support. Cachexia leads to progressive functional impairment. We investigated in vitro and in vivo the efficacy of ALK4/5 receptor blockers like SB431542 in preventing muscle wasting and in this context determined muscle-related miRNA expression profiles in non-tumor bearing control mice, in SB431542 treated C26 tumor-bearing mice and in cachectic C26 tumor-bearing mice.

Skeletal muscle derived Musclin protects the heart during pathological overload

Project description:Cachexia is associated with poor prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure. The underlying mechanisms of cachexia triggered heart failure progression, however, are not well understood. Here, we investigated whether the dysregulation of myokine expression from wasting skeletal muscle and impaired inter-organ crosstalk during advanced heart failure might contribute to progression of the disease. RNA sequencing analysis from wasting skeletal muscles of mice with cardiac cachexia during long-term pressure overload revealed a strongly reduced expression of Ostn. Ostn encodes for the skeletal muscle derived myokine Musclin, which had been previously implicated in the enhancement of natriuretic peptide (NP) signaling. Using newly developed skeletal muscle specific, inducible Ostn knock-out mice, we demonstrated that reduced skeletal muscle Musclin levels exaggerated cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis compared to littermate control mice after TAC. Restoration of Musclin deficiency during cardiac cachexia via AAV6-mediated skeletal muscle specific Musclin overexpression, in turn, attenuated left ventricular dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis. Mechanistically, we found that Musclin enhanced CNP/NPR2/cGMP signaling in cardiomyocytes, which led to improved contractility by inhibition of the cAMP degrading phosphodiesterase (PDE)3 and augmented cAMP/protein kinase A signaling. In addition, Musclin directly acted on cardiac fibroblasts to inhibit their activation. Together, our study indicates the therapeutic potential of targeting interorgan cross-talk during heart failure, for example by counteracting the impaired secretion of the Musclin from wasting skeletal muscle.

Skeletal Muscle Fibrosis in Pancreatic Cancer Patients with Respect to Survival

Project description:Skeletal muscle wasting is a devastating consequence of cancer that may be responsible for nearly 30% of cancer-related deaths. In addition to muscle atrophy, we have identified significant muscle fiber damage and replacement of muscle with fibrotic tissue in rectus abdominis muscle biopsies from cachectic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients that associates with poor survival. Transcriptional profiling of muscle harvested from these same patients supported these findings by identifying gene clusters related to wounding, inflammation and cellular response to TGF-B upregulated in cachectic PDAC patients compared with non-cancer controls. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from rectus abdominis muscle biopsies fron non-cancer controls patients undergoing abdominal surgery for benign reasons and from PDAC patients undergoing tumor-resection surgery. PDAC patients were further classified as non-cachectic or cachectic. Cachexia was defined as a body weight loss of >5% during the 6 months prior to surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify the broader transcriptional networks changed in cachectic PDAC patients versus non-cancer controls, that may be associated with the histological changes observed in muscle biopsies harvested from these same patients.
