Downregulation of let-7 by electrical acupuncture increases protein synthesis in mice

ABSTRACT: Our previous study found that acupuncture with low frequency electrical stimulation (Acu/LFES) prevents muscle atrophy by attenuation of protein degradation in mice. The current study examines the impact of Acu/LFES on protein synthesis. C57/BL6 mice received Acu/LFES treatment on hindlimb for 30 minutes once. Acupuncture points were selected by WHO Standard Acupuncture Nomenclature and electric stimulation applied using an SDZ-II Electronic acupuncture instrument. Muscle protein synthesis was measured by the surface-sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay. Exosomes were isolated using serial centrifugation and concentration and size of the collected exosomes were measured using a NanoSight instrument. The mature microRNA library in serum exosomes was validated using a High Sensitivity DNA chip. Protein synthesis was enhanced in the both hindlimb and forelimb muscles. Blocking exosome secretion with GW4869 decreased the Acu/LFES-induced increases in protein synthesis. MicroRNA-deep sequencing demonstrated that four members of the Let-7 miRNA family were significantly decreased in serum exosomes. Real time qPCR further verified Acu/LFES-mediated decreases of let-7c-5p in serum exosomes and skeletal muscles. In cultured C2C12 myotubes, inhibition of let-7c not only increased protein synthesis, but also enhanced protein abundance of Igf1, Igf1 receptor. Using a luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that let-7 directly inhibits Igf1. Conclusion: Acu/LFES on hindlimb decreases let-7-5p leading to upregulation of the Igf1 signaling and increasing protein synthesis in skeletal muscles. This provides a new understanding of how the electrical acupuncture treatment can positively influence muscle health.

Expression data from mouse neonatal hindlimb muscles

Project description:During neonatal development, skeletal muscle grows dramatically by myonuclei accretion to existing fibers and hypertophic growth of fibers with protein synthesis. To understand molecular mechanism underlying neonatal muscle growth, we used microarray to profile the global program of gene expressions especially involved in myoblast fusion, migration, and muscle fiber growth by itself. Mouse hindlimb muscles at postnatal day (P) 2, 7, and 14 were isolated and used for RNA extraction and hybridyzation on microarrays. We used three biological replicates for each time point.

Transcription profiling of rat skeletal muscle after fine needle stimulation

Project description:Fine needle stimulation also known as acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice which causes relief of pain. We demonstrated that it caused neovascularization and enhanced recovery of blood perfusion in a ischemic portion of skeletal muscle in rats with hindlimb ischemia. Therefore we evaluated the effect of fine needle stimulation on skeletal muscle at gene expression level Experiment Overall Design: With 0.14mm diameter stainless steel needle, a hundred pricks were applied in a 100 square mili-meter region on addductor portion of the left rat hindlimb. Right hindlimb was left intact as control. 24 hrs after fine needle stimulation, skeletal muscle sample was resected from adductor muscle of fine needle stimulated left hindlimb and non-stimulated right hindlimbs, respectively. Then gene expression analysis with microarray was conducted on each skelatal muscle sample.

Down-regulation of JunB by RNAi in mouse muscles in vivo

Project description:The size of skeletal muscles, like that of all cells, is precisely regulated by intracellular signaling networks that determine the balance between overall rates of protein synthesis and degradation. Muscle fiber growth and protein synthesis are stimulated by the IGF1/Akt/mTOR pathway, and muscle wasting, as occurs with disuse, denervation, fasting, and various systemic diseases (e.g. cancer, sepsis) results from excessive protein breakdown in muscle and induction of a set of atrophy-related genes by the FoxO transcription factors. Here we show that the transcription factor JunB is also a major regulator of growth and atrophy of adult (post mitotic) muscle cells. We found that in atrophying myotubes, JunB protein was excluded from the nucleus and that decreasing JunB expression by RNAi in muscles of adults reduced fiber size. Furthermore, in normal muscles of adult mice JunB over-expression increased fiber diameter dramatically (up to 40% in 7 days), and stimulated protein synthesis, but unlike IGF-1 or insulin, JunB did not activate the Akt/mTOR pathway. Importantly, when JunB was transfected into denervated muscles to maintain its level high, fiber atrophy was prevented, and the induction of the critical atrophy-associated ubiquitin-ligases, atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, was greatly reduced. JunB inhibited their induction by impairing FoxO3 binding to their promoters and thus reduced the stimulation of protein breakdown by FoxO3. Thus JunB is important, not only in dividing populations, but also in mature skeletal muscle where it is required for the maintenance of muscle size and can induce rapid hypertrophy and block atrophy.

Regulatory function of sympathetic innervation on the endo/lysosomal trafficking of acetylcholine receptor

Project description:Regulation of membrane receptors involves management of endocytosis. At the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between skeletal muscle and motoneuron, proper density of the major receptor, the acetylcholine receptor, is of utmost importance for sustaining life in context of mobility. Recent work has revealed innervation of NMJs by sympathetic neurons and destruction of them had morphological and functional consequences, suggesting influence on endocytosis. To investigate the pathways and proteins that are relevant for acetylcholine receptor turnover and affected by sympathetic signaling, proteomes of mouse hindlimb muscles from sympathectomized and saline-treated control muscles were compared. Using proteomic, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analysis in chemically sympathectomized mouse hindlimb muscles, the cause of these consequences were aimed to analyzed. This revealed extensive regulation of the proteome by the sympathetic nervous system and a possible regulatory function of the endo/lysosomal and autophagic pathway by sympathetic neuronal input. This finding might provide a new explanation to the observed benefit of sympathicomimetic treatment in several congenital myasthenic syndromes.

Polysome-associated mRNA profiling of cancer cells in response to CXCL12 and IGF1

Project description:CXCL12 and IGF1 are key secreting molecules produced by cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast cancer. These factors promote the survival of disseminated cancer cells in the bone marrow. To assess the combined responses elicited by CXCL12 and IGF1, we examined the translating transcriptome of cancer cells in response to these two factors by Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP)-RNAseq. MDA-MB-231 cells were engineered to express an EGFP-tagged version of ribosomal protein L10a. This allows the retrieval of polysome-associated mRNA by anti-GFP pull down (TRAP) and profiling the translating transcriptome by RNAseq. EGFP-L10a+ cancer cells were serum starved (0.2% serum) for 24 hours, and then treated with CXCL12 (30ng/mL) + IGF1 (10ng/mL) or CXCL12 (300ng/mL) + IGF1 (100ng/mL) for 6hrs. Two biological replicates were profiled for each condition.

Distinct transcriptomic profile of satellite cells contributes to preservation of neuromuscular junctions in extraocular muscles of ALS mice

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive weakness of almost all skeletal muscles, whereas extraocular muscles (EOMs) are comparatively spared. While hindlimb and diaphragm muscles of end-stage SOD1G93A (G93A) mice (a familial ALS mouse model) exhibit severe denervation and depletion of Pax7+satellite cells (SCs), we found that the pool of SCs and the integrity of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are maintained in EOMs. In cell sorting profiles, SCs derived from hindlimb and diaphragm muscles of G93A mice exhibit denervation-related activation, whereas SCs from EOMs of G93A mice display spontaneous (non-denervation-related) activation, similar to SCs from wild-type mice. Specifically, cultured EOM SCs contain more abundant transcripts of axon guidance molecules, including Cxcl12, along with more sustainable renewability than the diaphragm and hindlimb counterparts under differentiation pressure. In neuromuscular co-culture assays, AAV-delivery of Cxcl12 to G93A-hindlimb SC-derived myotubes enhances motor neuron axon extension and innervation, recapitulating the innervation capacity of EOM SC-derived myotubes. G93A mice fed with sodium butyrate (NaBu) supplementation exhibited less NMJ loss in hindlimb and diaphragm muscles. Additionally, SCs derived from G93A hindlimb and diaphragm muscles displayed elevated expression of Cxcl12 and improved renewability following NaBu treatment in vitro. Thus, the NaBu-induced transcriptomic changes resembling the patterns of EOM SCs may contribute to the beneficial effects observed in G93A mice. More broadly, the distinct transcriptomic profile of EOM SCs may offer novel therapeutic targets to slow progressive neuromuscular functional decay in ALS and provide possible ‘response biomarkers’ in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Circulating exosomal microRNAs contribute to the antimigraine effects of acupuncture

Project description:We conducted this study to determine whether exosome regulation underlies the antimigraine mechanisms of acupuncture. By comparing serum samples from patients with migraine and healthy controls using high-throughput small RNA sequencing technology , we identified 705 exosomal microRNAs that are differentially expressed in patients with migraine, and this set of 705 microRNAs included five that are particularly well characterised (hsa-miR-369-5p, hsa-miR-1268b, hsa-miR-145-5p, hsa-miR-222-5p, and hsa-miR-4488). By comparing serum samples collected from patients with migraine before and after acupuncture treatment, we showed that acupuncture normalised the expression levels of those five well-characterised exosomal microRNAs.
