Enhancing Skeletal Muscle Fiber Types Transition through Substrate Coating Alteration in Myoblast Cell Culture

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle diseases often exhibit fiber type-specific characteristics and posing significant clinical challenges, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), sarcopenia, and volumetric muscle loss injuries. Current treatments are primarily palliative, highlighting the need for innovative therapies. The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in muscle physiology and regeneration by influencing cell differentiation and repair. Understanding the mechanism of specific ECM coatings affect muscle fiber type differentiation in vitro could elicit the targeted therapies for muscle regeneration. In this study, C2C12GFP myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes on the plates coated with Fibronectin, Collagen I, and Geltrex™. The myoblasts differentiated successfully on all ECM substrates, forming myofiber. qPCR confirmed myogenic marker expression patterns, with decreased Pax7 and increased Myog by day 7. Protein analysis (Western blot and immunofluorescence) and transcriptome profiling (RNA-Sequencing) consistently demonstrated that Collagen I enhanced the development of slow-type fibers, evidenced by increased slow myotube protein expression and the upregulation of slow fiber-associated genes (e.g., Myh7, Myl2), potentially via Calcineurin/NFAT, MEF2, MYOD, AMPK, PI3K/AKT and ERK1 pathways. In contrast, Fibronectin and Geltrex™ favored fast-type fiber development, as shown by elevated fast-type fiber protein levels and upregulation of fast fiber-associated genes (e.g., Fyn, Hk2), possibly through HIF1A, FOXO1, NFKB and ERK2 activation.

Molecular insights into human soleus muscle atrophy development: long-term dry immersion effects on the transcriptomic profile and post-translational signaling

Project description:Muscle disuse results in complex signaling alterations followed by structural and functional changes, such as atrophy, force decrease and slow-to-fast fiber-type shift. Little is known about human skeletal muscle signaling alterations under long-term muscle disuse. In this study, we describe the effects of 21-day dry immersion on human postural soleus muscle. We performed both transcriptomic analysis and Western blots to describe the states of the key signaling pathways regulating soleus muscle fiber size, fiber-type, and metabolism. 21-day dry immersion resulted in both slow-type and fast-type myofibers atrophy, downregulation of rRNA content, and mTOR signaling. 21-day dry immersion also leads to slow-to-fast fiber-type and gene expression shift, upregulation of p-eEF2, p-CaMKII, p-ACC content and downregulation of NFATc1 nuclear content. It also caused massive gene expression alterations associated with calcium signaling, cytoskeletal parameters, and downregulated mitochondrial signaling (including fusion, fission, and marker of mitochondrial density).

Single muscle fiber proteomics reveals fiber type-specific features of human muscle aging

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a key tissue in human aging, which affects different muscle fiber types unequally. We developed a highly sensitive single muscle fiber proteomics workflow to study human aging and show that the senescence of slow and fast muscle fibers is characterized by diverging metabolic and protein quality control adaptations. Whereas mitochondrial content declines with aging in both fiber types, glycolysis and glycogen metabolism are upregulated in slow but downregulated in fast muscle fibers. Aging mitochondria decrease expression of the redox enzyme monoamine oxidase A. Slow fibers upregulate a subset of actin and myosin chaperones, whereas an opposite change happens in fast fibers. These changes in metabolism and sarcomere quality control may be related to the ability of slow, but not fast, muscle fibers to maintain their mass during aging. We conclude that single muscle fiber analysis by proteomics can elucidate pathophysiology in a sub-type specific manner.

Beyond Myosin Heavy Chains in Human Skeletal Muscle Heterogeneity

Project description:Skeletal muscle is an inherently heterogenous tissue comprised primarily of myofibers, which are historically classified into three distinct fiber types in humans: one “slow” (type 1) and two “fast” (type 2A and type 2X), delineated by the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms (MYHs). However, whether discrete fiber types exist or whether fiber heterogeneity reflects a continuum remains unclear. Furthermore, whether MYHs are the main classifiers of skeletal muscle fibers has not been examined in an unbiased manner. Through the development and application of novel transcriptomic and proteomic workflows, applied to 1050 and 1038 single muscle fibers from human vastus lateralis, respectively, we show that MYHs are not the principal drivers of skeletal muscle fiber heterogeneity. Instead, ribosomal heterogeneity drives the majority of variance between skeletal muscle fibers in a continual fashion, independent of slow/fast fiber type. Furthermore, whilst slow and fast fiber clusters can be identified, described by their contractile and metabolic profiles, our data challenge the concept that type 2X are phenotypically distinct from other fast fibers at an omics level. Moreover, MYH-based classifications do not adequately describe the phenotype of skeletal muscle fibers in one of the most common genetic muscle diseases, nemaline myopathy. Our data question the currently accepted model of multiple distinct fiber types based on the expression of MYHs in humans and identifies ribosomal heterogeneity as a major driver of skeletal muscle fiber heterogeneity, opening a new field of research within skeletal muscle physiology.

Anastellin impacts on the processing of extracellular matrix and stimulates the release of cytokines from smooth muscle cells

Project description:Anastellin, a recombinant protein fragment from the first type III module of fibronectin, mimics a partially-unfolded intermediate with exposed cryptic protein-protein interaction sites implicated in assembly of fibronectin fibrils. Anastellin initiates in vitro fibrillation of fibronectin, yielding “superfibronectin”, a polymer with enhanced cell-adhesive properties. This ability is absent in an anastellin double mutant, L37AY40A. Here we demonstrate that both wild-type and L37AY40A anastellin affects fibronectin processing within the ECM of smooth muscle cells. FN fibrils are diminished in the ECM from cells treated with anastellin, but are partially rescued by supplementation with plasma fibronectin in cell media. Proteomics analysis reveals that anastellin also impacts on the processing of other ECM proteins, with increased collagen and decreased laminin detected in media from cells exposed to wild-type anastellin.

Mitochondrial dynamics define muscle fiber type by modulating cellular metabolism pathways

Project description:Skeletal muscle is highly developed after birth, consisting of glycolytic fast- and oxidative slow-twitch fibers; however, the mechanisms of fiber type-specific differentiation are poorly understood. Here, we found an unexpected role for mitochondrial fission in the differentiation of fast-twitch oxidative fibers. Depletion of the mitochondrial fission factor dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in mouse skeletal muscle and cultured myotubes resulted in the specific reduction of fast-twitch muscle fibers independently of respiratory function. Altered mitochondrial fission caused the activation of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway via the mitochondrial accumulation of mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2), and rapamycin administration rescued the reduction of fast-twitch fibers in vivo and in vitro. Under Akt/mTOR activation, the mitochondria-related cytokine growth differentiation factor-15 was upregulated, which repressed fast-twitch fiber differentiation. Our findings reveal a novel role for mitochondrial dynamics in the activation of mTORC2 on mitochondria, resulting in the differentiation of muscle fibers.

Bridging the muscle genome to phenome across multiple biological scales

Project description:Muscle is highly hierarchically organized, with functions shaped by genetically controlled expression of protein ensembles with different isoform profiles at the sarcomere scale. However, it remains unclear how isoform profiles shape whole-muscle performance. We compared two mouse hindlimb muscles, the slow, relatively parallel-fibered soleus and the faster, more pennate-fibered tibialis anterior (TA), across scales: from gene regulation, isoform expression and translation speed, to force-length-velocity-power for intact muscles. Expression of myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoforms directly corresponded with contraction velocity. The fast-twitch TA with fast MHC isoforms had faster unloaded velocities (actin sliding velocity, Vactin; peak fiber velocity, Vmax) than the slow-twitch soleus. For the soleus, Vactin was biased towards Vactin for purely slow MHC I, despite this muscle's even fast and slow MHC isoform composition. Our multi-scale results clearly identified a consistent and significant dampening in fiber shortening velocities for both muscles, underscoring an indirect correlation between Vactin and fiber Vmax that may be influenced by differences in fiber architecture, along with internal loading due to both passive and active effects. These influences correlate with the increased peak force and power in the slightly more pennate TA, leading to a broader length range of near-optimal force production. Conversely, a greater force-velocity curvature in the near-parallel fibered soleus highlights the fine-tuning by molecular-scale influences including myosin heavy and light chain expression along with whole-muscle characteristics. Our results demonstrate that the individual gene, protein and whole-fiber characteristics do not directly reflect overall muscle performance but that intricate fine-tuning across scales shapes specialized muscle function.

Microgenomic Analysis in Skeletal Muscle: Expression Signatures of Individual Fast and Slow Myofibers

Project description:Background: skeletal muscle is a complex, versatile tissue composed of a variety of functionally diverse fiber types. Although the biochemical, structural and functional properties of myofibers have been the subject of intense investigation for the last decades, understanding molecular processes regulating fiber type diversity is still complicated by the heterogeneity of cell types present in the whole muscle organ. Methodology/Principal Findings: we have produced a first catalogue of genes expressed in mouse slow-oxidative (type 1) and fast-glycolytic (type 2B) fibers through transcriptome analysis at the single fiber level (microgenomics). Individual fibers were obtained from murine soleus and EDL muscles and initially classified by myosin heavy chain isoform content. Gene expression profiling on high density DNA oligonucleotide microarrays showed that both qualitative and quantitative improvements were achieved, compared to results with standard muscle homogenate. First, myofiber profiles were virtually free from non-muscle transcriptional activity. Second, thousands of muscle-specific genes were identified, leading to a better definition of gene signatures in the two fiber types as well as the detection of metabolic and signaling pathways that are differentially activated in specific fiber types. Several regulatory proteins showed preferential expression in slow myofibers. Discriminant analysis revealed novel genes that could be useful for fiber type functional classification. Conclusions/Significance: as gene expression analyses at the single fiber level significantly increased the resolution power, this innovative approach would allow a better understanding of the adaptive transcriptomic transitions occurring in myofibers under physiological and pathological conditions.

Proteome of FAO deficient mouse model

Project description:Objective: Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous and dynamic tissue that adapts to functional demands and substrate availability by modulating muscle fiber size and type. The concept of muscle fiber type relates to its contractile (slow or fast) and metabolic (glycolytic or oxidative) properties. Here, we tested whether disruptions in muscle oxidative catabolism are sufficient to prompt parallel adaptations in energetics and contractile protein composition. Conclusion: The loss of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation elicits an adaptive response involving conversion of oxidative muscle towards a metabolic profile that resembles a glycolytic muscle but that is not accompanied by changes in myosin heavy chain isoforms. These data suggest that shifts in muscle catabolism are not sufficient to drive shifts in the contractile apparatus but are sufficient to drive adaptive changes in metabolic properties.

Loss of lysosomal acid lipase results in mitochondrial dysfunction and fiber switch in skeletal muscles of mice

Project description:Objective: Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is the only enzyme known to hydrolyze cholesteryl esters (CE) and triacylglycerols in lysosomes at an acidic pH. Despite the importance of lysosomal hydrolysis in skeletal muscle (SM), research in this area is limited. We hypothesized that LAL may play an important role in SM development, function, and metabolism as a result of lipid and/or carbohydrate metabolism disruptions. Results: Mice with systemic LAL deficiency (Lal-/-) had markedly lower SM mass, cross-sectional area, and Feret diameter despite unchanged proteolysis or protein synthesis markers in all SM examined. In addition, Lal-/- SM showed increased total cholesterol and CE concentrations, especially during fasting and maturation. Regardless of increased glucose uptake, expression of the slow oxidative fiber marker MYH7 was markedly increased in Lal-/-SM, indicating a fiber switch from glycolytic, fast-twitch fibers to oxidative, slow-twitch fibers. Proteomic analysis of the oxidative and glycolytic parts of the SM confirmed the transition between fast- and slow-twitch fibers, consistent with the decreased Lal-/- muscle size due to the “fiber paradox”. Decreased oxidative capacity and ATP concentration were associated with reduced mitochondrial function of Lal-/- SM, particularly affecting oxidative phosphorylation, despite unchanged structure and number of mitochondria. Impairment in muscle function was reflected by increased exhaustion in the treadmill peak effort test in vivo. Conclusion: We conclude that whole-body loss of LAL is associated with a profound remodeling of the muscular phenotype, manifested by fiber type switch and a decline in muscle mass, most likely due to dysfunctional mitochondria and impaired energy metabolism, at least in mice.
