Project description:Microgravity and prolonged periods of inactivity cause a variety of diseases, including skeletal muscle mass loss and weakening as well as cardiovascular deconditioning. The primary causes of the inadequate preventative measures for these deconditionings are the lack of biomarkers and unknown underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular and skeletal muscle deconditioning in these conditions. Here, we used a hindlimb unloading (HU) mouse model that replicates astronauts in space and bedridden patients to first evaluate cardiovascular and skeletal muscle performance. Serum samples from these mice were used to identify new biomarkers using metabolomic and proteomic approaches. Three weeks of unloading resulted in alterations in cardiovascular system function in C57/Bl6 mice, as measured by changes in mean arterial pressure and heart weight. Unloading for three weeks also altered skeletal muscle function, resulting in a decrease of grip strength in HU mice, as well as skeletal muscle atrophy, as shown by a drop in muscle mass. A two-week recovery time from the unloading condition partially reversed these alterations, stressing the importance of the recovery process.

Project description:Disuse-induced muscle atrophy is a common clinical problem observed mainly in older adults, intensive care units patients, or astronauts. Previous studies presented biological sex divergence in progression of disuse-induced atrophy along with differential changes in molecular mechanisms possibly underlying muscle atrophy. The aim of this study was to perform transcriptomic profiling of male and female mice during the onset and progression of unloading disuse-induced atrophy. Male and female mice underwent hindlimb unloading (HU) for 24, 48, 72 and 168h (n=8/group). Muscles were weighed for each cohort and gastrocnemius was used for RNA-sequencing analysis. Females exhibited muscle loss as early as 24h of HU, while males after 168h of HU. In males, pathways related to proteasome degradation were upregulated throughout 168-h HU, while in females these pathways were upregulated up to 72-h HU. Lcn2, a gene contributing to regulation of myogenesis, was upregulated by 6.46–19.86-fold across all time points in females only. A reverse expression of Fosb, a gene related to muscle degeneration, was observed between males (4.27-fold up) and females (4.57-fold down) at 24-h HU. Mitochondrial pathways related to TCA cycle were highly downregulated at 168h of HU in males, while in females this downregulation was less pronounced. Collagen-related pathways were consistently downregulated throughout 168-h HU only in females, suggesting a potential biological sex-specific protective mechanism against disuse-induced fibrosis. In conclusion, females may have protection against HU-induced skeletal muscle mitochondrial degeneration and fibrosis through transcriptional mechanisms, although they may be more vulnerable to HU-induced muscle wasting compared to males.

Project description:Disuse osteoporosis (DO) occurs in response to mechanical unloading of the skeleton and results in structural changes that compromise bone strength leading to increased fracture risk. Although skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are the main source of osteoblasts and adipocytes in adult bone marrow, whether DO impacts SSC function has not been established. Here, three-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to a hindlimb unloading (HU) model of disuse osteoporosis for 8 or 14 weeks by tail suspension. Control mice (ambulatory or AMB) were allowed normal use of their hindlimbs. An additional cohort underwent an 8-week recovery period after 8-weeks of unloading. Bone marrow-derived, LepR+ skeletal stem cells (SSCs) were isolated by FACS (n=3 or 4) and pooled prior to RNA isolation. Where indicated, cultured, immuno-depleted, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were also collected (n=3) and pooled prior to RNA isolation. Generated libraries were subjected to NGS RNA-seq analysis on the Illumina NextSeq 500. These data delineate unique physiological adaptations to prolonged unloading, demonstrate that DO results in increased leptin expression and sympathetic signaling within the BM niche.

Project description:To investigate the molecular mechanisms governing the transition of skeletal muscle from atrophy to compensatory regeneration and hypertrophy, we employed a mouse model involving hindlimb unloading and subsequent reloading, conducting a comprehensive analysis of global gene expression using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Gastrocnemius muscle samples were obtained from three groups: control mice, mice subjected to 10 days of hindlimb unloading-induced muscle atrophy, and mice reintroduced to normal cage activity for 1 day following the unloading period (reloading).

Project description:Gene expression changes in femur bone induced by acute skeletal muscle unloading, which leads to physiological changes including muscle atrophy, weakness and results in bone remodelling and subsequent loss of bone mass, was investigated by hind-limb suspension (HLS) treatment of Male ICR mice (28–32 g body wt; Harlan, Indianapolis, IN). AgilentTM Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarrays were utilised to examine the effects of HLS on mRNA expression profiles of the femur bone in the hindlimbs of freely ambulating control and 24h HLS treated mice. Five independent biological replicates of this experiment were carried out. Five independent biological replicates of this experiment (Control and HLS) were carried out.

Project description:Notch signaling plays essential roles in maintenance of muscle stem cell pool. We found that Notch2, but not Notch1 and Notch3, is expressed in fully differentiated myofibers. To study the specific role of Notch2 in adult myofibers, we generated muscle-specific Notch2-knockout mice. Here, we showed that muscle-specific Notch2 deficiency prevented muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb unloading and diabetes millitus. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the loss of Notch2 gene in myofibers inhibited gene responses to unloading and diabetes. Especially, several FoxO-target genes and atrogenes were upregulated in wildtype muscles but not in Notch2-deficient muscles by unloading and diabetes. Thus, our characterization of muscle-specific Notch2-knockout mice indicates that Notch2 acts as a regulatory factor of skeletal muscle plasticity and could be a therapeutic target of muscle atrophy.

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:DNA methylation occurs as 5-methylcytosines mainly at cytosine-guanine dinucleotides, so-called CpG sites, and such methylation is a well-studied epigenetic mechanism for transcriptional regulation. Generally, DNA methylation of the gene promoter is correlated with transcriptional repression. Genomic DNA methylation patterns are established by the actions of the de novo methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, and are maintained by the methyltransferase Dnmt1. Expression of Dnmt3a mRNA is relatively high in skeletal muscle, suggesting a major role in transcriptional regulation. Also, denervation of skeletal muscle decreased expression of Dnmt3a mRNA, suggesting involvement of Dnmt3a in pathophysiology during atrophy. Decreased regeneration capacity in atrophied skeletal muscle hampers muscle mass recovery after injury and the impaired muscle function, lowers the quality of life. We found that in skeletal muscle of atrophy models, Dnmt3a was decreased. Muscle regeneration was delayed in the skeletal muscle-specific Dnmt3a knockout (Dnmt3a-KO) mice, in which Dnmt3a was deleted in skeletal muscle as well as in satellite cells, important for muscle regeneration. In this study, we used Dnmt3a-KO mice, and attempt to clarify the mechanism of reduced muscle regeneration during atrophy. The microarray data shows that expression of a Gdf/Bmp family protein Gdf5, which suppressed differentiation of satellite cells, is activated in Dnmt3a-KO mice compared with wild-type mice.
