Project description:The innervation of skeletal myofibers exerts a crucial influence on the maintenance of muscle tone and normal operation, but little is known concerning atrophy and its underlying mechanisms in denervated muscle to date. Here, we reported that activated NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome with pyroptotic cell death occurred in denervated gastrocnemius in the mouse model of sciatic denervation. This damage causes interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) release，facilitating the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) activation, which was responsible for muscle proteolysis. Conversely, genetic knock-out of muscular NLRP3 inhibited the pyroptosis-associated protein expression and ameliorate muscle atrophy significantly. Meanwhile, co-treatment with shRNA-NLRP3, also remarkably attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome activator (NIA)-induced C2C12 myotube pyroptosis and atrophy. Interestingly, we also observed a correlation between NLRP3 inflammasome activation and muscular apoptosis possibly via caspase 1 mediation after denervation. This work for the first time elucidates on the roles and mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome in skeletal muscle atrophy during denervation and suggests the potential contribution to the pathogenesis of neuromuscular diseases.

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:Belt electrode-skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) involves the use of belt-shaped electrodes to simultaneously contract multiple muscle groups. Twitch contractions have been demonstrated to protect against denervation-induced muscle atrophy in rats, possibly via mitochondrial biosynthesis. In this study, we examined whether inducing tetanus contractions with B-SES suppresses muscle atrophy and identified the underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of acute (60 Hz, 5 min) and chronic (60 Hz, 5 min, every alternate day for 1 week) B-SES on the tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius (GAS) muscles in Sprague Dawley rats using belt electrodes attached to both ankle joints. In acute stimulation, a significant decrease in glycogen content in the left and right TA and GAS was observed, suggesting that B-SES causes simultaneous contractions in multiple muscle groups. B-SES also enhanced p70S6K phosphorylation, an indicator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 activity. During chronic stimulations, rats were divided into control (CONT), denervation-induced atrophy (DEN), and DEN+electrically stimulated with B-SES (DEN＋ES) groups. After 7 days of treatment, muscle wet weight (n = 8-11 for each group) and muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA, n = 6 for each group) of the TA and GAS muscles were reduced in the DEN and DEN+ES groups compared to those in the CON group. The DEN+ES group showed significantly higher muscle weight and CSA than the DEN group. Although RNA-seq and pathway analysis suggested that mitochondrial and ribosome biogenesis are key events in this phenomenon, mitochondrial content showed no difference. In contrast, ribosomal RNA 28S and 45S (n = 6) levels in the DEN+ES group were higher than those in the DEN group. The mRNA levels of the muscle proteolytic molecules Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 were significantly higher in DEN than in CONT but were suppressed in DEN+ES. In conclusion, tetanic electrical stimulation of both ankles using belt electrodes was effective in preventing denervation-induced atrophy in multiple muscle groups. Unlike twitch contractions, ribosomal biosynthesis plays a key role in tetanic contractions to prevent muscle atrophy.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition that remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Previous work found that skeletal muscle atrophy involves activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a protein in the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family. However, the direct biochemical mechanism by which ATF4 promotes muscle atrophy was unknown. Because bZIP proteins such as ATF4 must dimerize to bind and activate genes, and because ATF4 is unable to form highly stable homodimers, we hypothesized that ATF4 may promote muscle atrophy by heterodimerizing with another bZIP family member. To test this hypothesis, we biochemically isolated skeletal muscle proteins that associate with the dimerization- and DNA-binding domain of ATF4 (the bZIP domain) in mouse skeletal muscle fibers in vivo. Interestingly, we found that ATF4 makes up one half of at least 5 distinct heterodimeric bZIP transcription factors in skeletal muscle fibers. This three-way interaction between ATF4, C/EBPbeta and the ATF4-C/EBP composite site activates the Gadd45a gene, which encodes a known mediator of muscle atrophy (Gadd45a). Together, these results identify a direct biochemical mechanism by which ATF4 induces skeletal muscle atrophy and provide new insight into the way that skeletal muscle atrophy occurs at the molecular level.

Project description:Muscle atrophy is associated with aging (sarcopenia) and chronic unloading (such as bed confinement and immobilization with casts), as well as various pathological conditions such as type 1 diabetes and nerve injury (denervation). C57BL/6 mice (7 weeks old, male) were denervated. After 14 days, skeletal muscle was collected and RNA extracted. Expression of Dnmt3a was reduced while expression of Gdf5 was increased by denervation.

Project description:The epigenomic regulation is a part of Gene Regulatory Network (GRN). During we study the reprogramming of GRN adaptive to atrophic stimulation in skeletal muscle, we performed Histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) acetylation (H3K27ac) ChIP-seq assay using mouse skeletal muscle with or without denervation. This dataset combining with our snATAC datasets enable us to infer the candidate enhancer that could regulate muscle protein metabolism and energy metabolism during atrophy.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a consequence of many diseases, environmental insults, inactivity, age and injury. Atrophy is characterized by active degradation and removal of contractile proteins and a reduction in fiber size. Animal models have been extensively used to identify pathways leading to atrophic conditions. Here we have used genome-wide expression profiling analysis and quantitative PCR to identify the molecular changes that occur in two clinically relevant animal mouse models of muscle atrophy, hindlimb casting and Achilles tendon laceration (tenotomy). Gastrocnemius muscle samples were collected 2, 7 and 14 days after insult. The total amount of muscle loss as measured by wet weight and muscle fiber size was equivalent between models, although tenotomy resulted in a more rapid induction of muscle atrophy. Furthermore, tentomy resulted in the regulation of significantly more mRNA transcripts then casting. Analysis of the regulated genes and pathways suggest that the mechanism of atrophy is distinct between these models. The degradation following casting appears ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated while degradation following tenotomy appears lysosomal and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated. This data suggests that there are multiple mechanisms leading to muscle atrophy and that specific therapeutic agents may be necessary to combat the atrophy seen under different conditions. Muscle atrophy was induced through two methods; unloading induced by tendon laceration (Tenotomy) and immobilization induced by hindlimb casting (Casting). For the tenotomy, eight week old male C57/B6 mice were anesthetized by ether inhalation and subsequent intramuscular injection of ketamine-xylazine (0.1 ml/g). The right Achilles tendon just proximal to the calcaneus was severed with a sterile scalpel. The mice were allowed to recover and move freely about their cage. An additional cohort of animals was sham operated (Sham) which involved isolation and manipulation of the Achilles tendon without laceration. For the casting, the right hindlimbs of eight week old male C57Bl/6 mice were immobilized through casting. After 2, 7 or 14 days, animals were sacrificed and the left and right gastrocnemius muscles were carefully removed, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C for further processing. The left untreated legs served as controls. A group of naïve animals that received no treatment or manipulation was included as an additional control. Each group consisted of between 5 and 10 samples for a total of 111 individual samples.
