Project description:Skeletal muscle mediates the beneficial effects of exercise, thereby improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes. Current skeletal-muscle-models in vitro are incapable of fully recapitulating its physiological functions especially regarding exercise. Supplementation of IGF1, a growth factor secreted by myofibers in vivo, might help to overcome these limitations. Primary human CD56-positive myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes in the presence/absence of IGF1 in serum-free medium for 10 days. Daily collected samples were analyzed by proteomics, qRT-PCR and myotube contractibility via electrical-pulse-stimulation (EPS). Mitochondrial respiration and glucose uptake were measured. IGF1-supported differentiation formed thicker multinucleated myotubes showing physiological contraction upon EPS following day 6 while myotubes without IGF1 were almost incapable of contraction. IGF1-treatment upregulated particularly muscle-specific proteins that contribute to myofibril and sarcomere assembly, striated muscle contraction, and ATP production. Elevated PPARGC1A, MYH7 and reduced MYH1/2 suggest a switch towards a more oxidative phenotype in line with elevated mitochondrial respiration. IGF1-treatment also upregulated expression of GLUT4 and increased insulin-dependent glucose uptake. To conclude, utilizing IGF1, we engineered human myotubes that recapitulate the physiological traits of skeletal muscle in vivo vastly superior to established protocols. This novel model enables investigation of exercise on a molecular level, drug screening and interorgan-crosstalk by transfer to organ-on-chip.

Project description:Purpose: identify global changes in gene expression in C2C12 myotubes caused by an increase in Crebrf. Methods: Triplicate replicates of differentiated C2C12 myotubes expressing either Gfp or Crebrf for 3 days after transduction. After assessing RNA quality with Agilent Bioanalyzer, mRNAs were enriched by poly-A pull-down. Then, sequencing libraries constructed with Illumina TruSeq RNA prep kit were sequenced using. We multiplexed samples in each lane, which yields targeted number of single-end 75 bp reads for each sample, as a fraction of 180 million reads for the whole lane. Sequence reads were mapped back to the Drosophila genome (flybase genome annotation version r6.30) using STAR. With the uniquely mapped reads, we quantified gene expression levels using Cufflinks (FPKM values). Next, differentially expressed genes between experimental and control data were analyzed with DESeq2. Results: Gene set enrichment analysis reveals oxidative phosphorylation and interferon response as the top up- and down-regulated gene sets, respectively, upon Crebrf expression. The glycolysis gene set is also reduced. These gene expression findings parallel our metabolic observations in Seahorse analysis. Conclusions: Our study indicates that CREBRF is a strong regulator of muscle metabolism in C2C12 myotubes

Project description:Muscle larva of a parasitic nematode Trichinella spp. lives a portion of muscle fiber transformed to a nurse cell (NC). The NC is formed from miss-differentiated muscle satellite cells which have fused with a parasite-invaded degenerating myofiber. Though originating from muscle cells, the NC is of non-muscular type.The NC is multinuclear and hypertrophic. Molecular mechanism of the NC development remains largely unknown. The microarray project was aimed at characterization of the NC transcriptome. The NCs were isolated by enzymatic digestion from infected mouse striated muscles. Murine C2C12 myogenic cell line (ATCC) was cultured in vitro. Differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes was carried out for 6 days in a high-glucose DMEM supplemented with 2% heat-inactivated horse serum, on the plates covered with laminin and collagen IV.The NC transcriptome was referred to the transcriptomes of C2C12 myoblasts and C2C12 myotubes in two sets of camparative expression microarray hybridization experiments, NC vs myoblasts and NC vs myotubes, respectively.

Project description:This study aimed to interrogate the interrelationship between 3D genome organization and global gene expression during muscle development using a mouse C2C12 cell line as an in vitro model. The C2C12 cell line is a well-established and extensively studied in vitro model derived from serial passage of myoblasts cultured from the thigh muscle of C3H mice after a crush injury. C2C12 cells divide when mitogens are present in the culture medium and spontaneously differentiate into muscle-like multinucleated (myotubes) cells if the medium is depleted of mitogens (i.e. serum; (Bischoff 1986)). C2C12 cells were either harvested as: 1) proliferating myoblasts (Myoblasts); 2) myotubes that were not treated with AraC (as such these myotubes contained myoblasts) - Myotubes(Day3); or 3) myotubes which were treated with AraC (myoblasts were largely depleted from these myotube cultures; Myotubes(Day7+AraC).

Project description:Muscle contraction during exercise is the major stimulus for the release of peptides and proteins (myokines) that are supposed to take part in the benefical adaptation to exercise. We hypothesize that application of an in vitro exercise stimulus as electric pulse stimulation (EPS) to human myotubes enables the investigation of the human muscle secretome in a clearly defined model. We applied EPS for 24 h to primary human myotubes and studied the whole genome-wide transcriptional response and as well as the release of candidate myokines. We observed 183 differentially regulated transcripts with fold-changes > 1.3. The transcriptional response resembles several properties of the in vivo situation in the skeletal muscle after endurance exercise, namely significant enrichment of pathways associated with interleukin and chemokine signaling, lipid metabolism, and anti-oxidant defense; notably without increased release of creatin kinase. Multiplex immunoassays verified the translation of the transcriptional response of several myokines into high secretion levels (IL6, IL8, CXCL1, LIF, CSF3, IL1B, TNF) and identified an increased secretion of additional cytokines (IL2, IL4, IL13, IL17A). Inhibitor studies and immunoblotting revealed the participation of ERK1/2 and AMPK dependent pathways in the upregulation of myokines. To conclude our data highlight the importance of skeletal muscle cells per se as endocrine cells. This in vitro exercise model is not only suitable to identify known and novel exercise-regulated myokines but it might be applied to primary human myotubes obtained from different muscle biopsy donors to study molecular mechanisms of the individual response to exercise. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of myotubes in vitro stimulated by EPS and control myotubes

Project description:Muscle spindles are skeletal muscle stretch receptors that mediate axial and limb position sensation (proprioception) to the central nervous system. Defective proprioception, often characterized by gait ataxia and poor coordination, is present in a variety of human sensory and motor neuropathies having diverse etiologies. Spindles contain specialized intrafusal muscle fibers that are induced during development by sensory innervation. The molecular events mediating the morphogenetic induction process are poorly characterized but depend upon neuregulins and their cognate ErbB receptor signaling. Recently, we demonstrated that the transcription factor Egr3 is induced and regulated by intrafusal muscle fiber sensory innervation during spindle induction. Moreover, Egr3-deficient mice have impaired spindle morphogenesis and profound gait ataxia. Thus, Egr3 mediated transcription is critical for muscle stretch receptor development and potentially for myotube fate specification. Egr3 may mediate spindle morphogenesis induced by Neuregulin/ErbB signaling after myotubes are contacted by sensory axons during development. As a starting point for understanding the specific role for Egr3 in this process, we will use a genome wide expression analysis to identify genes regulated (either directly or indirectly) by Egr3 in primary myotubes. It is not practical to examine Egr3 mediated gene expression directly within spindles since they comprise less than 0.1% of the muscle mass. Therefore, gene expression analysis will be examined in primary myotubes grown in vitro. Primary myoblasts isolated from mice and differentiated in vitro are biochemically most similar to extrafusal muscle fibers which do not express Egr3. To identify genes regulated by Egr3 in myotubes, gene expression in myotubes enforced to express full length Egr3 will be compared to gene expression in myotubes enforced to express truncated (transcriptionally inactive) Egr3. Egr3-deficient mice lack muscle spindles and have profound proprioceptive deficits. Egr3 is specifically expressed in a subset of developing primary myotubes after innervation by sensory axons. Spindle induction is dependent upon sensory/myotube contact which involves sensory axon produced neuregulin and ErbB receptor signaling in the myotube. Shortly after or during induction, Egr3 expression is upregulated and maintained in the nascent myotube/spindle as one of the earliest molecular events know to occur during spindle morphogenesis. We hypothesize that Egr3 mediated transcription is critical for engaging gene programs specific to and essential for, muscle spindle formation. Moreover, Egr3 may be involved in fate specification of myotubes that develop into biochemically and physiologically distinct intrafusal muscle fibers within spindles. To date, the target genes regulated by Egr3 during spindle morphogenesis have not been characterized. Myoblasts from wild type newborn mice will be isolated and purified. Myoblasts will be plated on collagen coated plates and differentiated in vitro for 7 days. During in vitro differentiation, myoblasts fuse to form multinucleated myotubes that exhibit contractile properties. Egr3 is not expressed in myotubes in vitro, which is consistent with their similarity to extrafusal muscle fibers that also do not express Egr3 in vivo. Only intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles express high levels of Egr3 in this muscle fiber context. Adenoviruses that express full length Egr3 (Egr3wt; transcriptionally active) and truncated Egr3 (Egr3tr; transcriptionally inactive) have been generated and characterized in our laboratory. After 7 days of in vitro differentiation, primary myotubes will be infected with either Egr3wt or Egr3tr adenoviruses. 100% infection is routinely obtained which is confirmed by coexpression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Care will be taken to minimize viral induced toxicity of the myotubes after infection. Myotubes are maintained after infection for 24 hours, after which total RNA is extracted from the cell lysates. The two RNA samples will be used for microarray analysis to identify genes that are upregulated and downregulated by Egr3 in the myotube cellular context. We will repeat the infection, RNA isolation and microarray analysis three times to minimize identifying false positive differentially expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes will be confirmed using real-time PCR. Interesting differentially expressed genes will be examined by in situ hybridization to determine if they are specifically expressed in wild type spindles. Since the identified differentially expressed genes will represent both indirect and direct target genes, we will perform Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) from Egr3wt infected myotubes and screen the ChIP DNA library by PCR to determine which gene promoters are directly bound by Egr3.

Project description:Aging of skeletal muscle tissue is characterized by loss of metabolic and contractile competence. It is thought that this phenomenon is driven via extrinsic and intrinsic factors. In order to identify age-dependent changes intrinsic to the muscle cell, microarray transcriptional profiles and measurements of glucose metabolism were performed in primary cultured human myotubes at different time points over seven weeks. Aging in culture tended to reduce myotube glucose metabolism, oxidative and storage capacities, despite elevation of glucose transport. The mitochondrial membrane potential slightly increased, whereas peroxidation of cell membrane lipids declined and membrane integrity was preserved. Transcriptional analysis revealed a fall in genes involved in glucose metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation, while stress defense genes were elevated. Expression of numerous genes coding for muscle contractile proteins and calcium-regulating proteins, was gradually decreased during aging of cultured myotubes. Transcripts of genes involved in cell growth, matrix and motility markedly rose while those involved in cell adhesion dropped. In conclusion, aging myotubes in culture exhibit a loss of glucose metabolic capacity. They are characterized by a shift from a contractile to a growth-survival, matrix-remodeling phenotype. This pattern of changes, linked to intrinsic factors, displays significant similarities with aging of muscle from primates and human subjects.

Project description:Various studies have shown that aerobic exercise can prevent or alleviate cancer-induced muscle wasting. To reproduce at least partially in vitro some molecular differences of aerobic muscle exercise that are independent from systemic inflammation or the hormonal milieu, we infected fully differentiated myotubes with adenoviruses expressing PGC1α, one of the main transcriptional coactivators involved in muscle adaptation to endurance exercise. We then compared the effect of PGC1α expression at 48h in myotubes infected with GFP, used as control.

Project description:Mesenchymal progenitor cells can be differentiated in vitro into myotubes that exhibit many characteristic features of primary mammalian skeletal muscle fibers. However, in general, they do not show the functional excitation-contraction coupling or the striated sarcomere arrangement typical of mature myofibers. Epigenetic modifications have been shown to play a key role in regulating the progressional changes in transcription necessary for muscle differentiation. In this study, we demonstrate that treatment of murine C2C12 mesenchymal progenitor cells with 10 µM of the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5AC) promotes myogenesis, resulting in myotubes with enhanced maturity as compared to untreated myotubes. Specifically, 5AC treatment resulted in the upregulation of muscle genes at the myoblast stage while at later stages nearly 50 % of the 5AC-treated myotubes displayed a mature, well-defined sarcomere organization as well as spontaneous contractions that coincided with action potentials and intracellular calcium transients. Both the percentage of striated myotubes and their contractile activity could be inhibited by 20 nM TTX, 10 µM ryanodine and 100 µM nifedipine, suggesting that action potential-induced calcium transients are responsible for these characteristics. Our data suggest that genomic demethylation induced by 5AC overcomes an epigenetic barrier that prevents untreated C2C12 myotubes from reaching full maturity.
