Project description:Systemic administration of β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) agonists has been found to induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy and significant metabolic changes. In the context of energy homeostasis, the importance of β-AR signaling has been highlighted by the inability of β1–3-AR-deficient mice to regulate energy expenditure and susceptibility to diet induced obesity. However, the molecular pathways and gene expression changes that initiate and maintain these phenotypic modulations are poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify differential changes in gene expression in murine skeletal muscle associated with systemic acute administration of the β2-AR agonist formoterol. Skeletal muscle gene expression (from murine tibialis anterior) was profiled at both 1 and 4 hours following systemic administration of the β2-AR agonist formoterol, using 46K Illumina(R) Sentrix BeadArrays. Illumina expression profiling revealed significant expression changes in genes associated with skeletal muscle hypertrophy, myoblast differentiation, metabolism, circadian rhythm, transcription, histones, and oxidative stress.

Project description:Androgens exert their effects primarily by binding to the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor. While androgens have anabolic effects on skeletal muscle, previous studies reported that AR functions in myofibers to regulate skeletal muscle quality, rather than skeletal muscle mass. Therefore, the anabolic effects of androgens are exerted via extra-myofiber cells or tissues. In this context, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AR in mesenchymal progenitors, which play a crucial role in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis, remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated expression of AR in mesenchymal progenitors and found that targeted AR ablation in mesenchymal progenitors reduced limb muscle mass in mature adult, but not young or aged, male mice, although fatty infiltration of muscle was not affected. The absence of AR in mesenchymal progenitors led to remarkable perineal muscle hypotrophy, regardless of age, due to abnormal regulation of transcripts associated with apoptosis and proteolysis. Additionally, we revealed that AR in mesenchymal progenitors regulates the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1, which can increase skeletal muscle mass in a paracrine manner. These findings indicate that the anabolic effects of androgens indirectly regulate skeletal muscle mass via, at least in part, AR signaling in mesenchymal progenitors.

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the mechanism of androgne in driving muscle hypertrophy programmes. CONCLUSION: AR transcriptionally cooperates with SMAD4 and this affect is lost in the presence of expansion of the polyglutamine repeat in the AR gene.

Project description:In skeletal muscle, STAT5a/b transcription factors are critical for normal postnatal growth, whole-animal glucose homeostasis, and local IGF-1 production. These observations have led us to hypothesize that STAT5a/b are critical for maintenance of normal muscle mass and function. To investigate this, mice with a skeletal muscle-specific deletion of the Stat5a/b genes (Stat5MKO) were used. Stat5MKO mice displayed reduced muscle mass, altered fiber-type distribution and reduced activity. On a molecular level, gene expression in skeletal muscle of Stat5MKO and control mice was analyzed by microarrays and real-time PCR, both in the presence and absence of growth hormone (GH) stimulation. Several genes involved in muscle growth, fiber-type and metabolism were significantly changed. Specifically in the quadriceps, a muscle almost exclusively composed of type II fibers, the absence of STAT5a/b led to increased expression of several genes associated with type I fibers and the de novo appearance of type I fibers. Additionally, it is shown here that expression of the androgen receptor gene (Ar) is controlled by GH through STAT5a/b. The link between STAT5a/b and Ar gene is likely through direct transcriptional regulation, as chromatin immunoprecipitaion of the Ar promoter region in C2C12 myoblasts was accomplished by antibodies against STAT5a. These experiments demonstrate an important role for STAT5a/b in skeletal muscle physiology and they provide a direct link to androgen signaling. Experiment Overall Design: Total 6 WT controls and 6 stat5a/b KO mice, treated or w/o GH

Project description:Androgens have a strong effect against skeletal muscles to increase muscle mass and strength. However, a molecular mechanism of AR action on muscle strength is not clear. To identify the target genes of AR in skeletal muscle, we generated myofiber specific ARKO using HSA-Cre and AR flox mice (cARKO). Nine-week-old female control and cARKO mice were treated with or without DHT for 4 weeks. After euthenization, gastrocunemius muscle were collected and total RNA were extracted.
