Sex-specific extracellular matrix remodeling in skeletal muscle after extended immobilization

ABSTRACT: Extended periods of disuse can cause changes to the musculoskeletal system, particularly impacting the composition and strength of skeletal muscle. While many studies have investigated changes in muscle phenotype after unloading, majority of these studies were performed on animals of a single genetic background or sex. The effect of muscle immobilization on males compared to females, as well as genetic diversity, is not well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate differential effects of skeletal muscle immobilization in genetically diverse outbred (DO) males and females through large-scale transcriptomic analysis, histopathological, and functional analyses. Transcriptomic analysis revealed both male and female have downregulated metabolism pathways during unloading. Investigation of matrix modifying pathways revealed differential expression of collagen related pathways, not matrix degradation pathways, in males compared to females. Histopathological analysis of collagen and functional analysis of muscle cross sectional area and volume correlated directly with transcriptomic analysis.

Biological sex divergence in transcriptomic profiles during the onset of hindlimb unloading-induced atrophy

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.

The muscle proteome reflects changes in mitochondrial function, cellular stress and proteolysis after 14 days of unilateral lower limb immobilization in active young men

Project description:Skeletal muscle unloading due to joint immobilization induces skeletal muscle atrophy. However, the skeletal muscle proteome response to limb immobilization has not been investigated using SWATH methods. This study quantitatively characterized the muscle proteome at baseline, and after 3 and 14 d of unilateral lower limb (knee-brace) immobilization in 18 healthy young men (25.4 ±5.5 y, 81.2 ±11.6 kg). All muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle. Unilateral lower limb immobilization was preceded by four-weeks of exercise training to standardise acute training history, and 7 days of dietary provision to standardise energy/macronutrient intake. Dietary intake was also standardised/provided throughout the 14 d immobilization period.

Microarray analysis of mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by a plaster cast

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). The hindlimb skeletal muscles of C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old, male) were immobilized (unloaded) by a plaster cast. After 11 days, skeletal muscle was collected and RNA extracted. Expression of Dnmt3a was reduced while expression of Gdf5 was increased by plaster cast immobilization compared to age-matched control mice.

Ten-day human unilateral lower limb suspension and active recovery in young healthy men

Project description:Human skeletal muscle disuse-atrophy is one of the main problems associated with spaceflight, bed rest, lower limb unloading, or immobilization. This study investigates the effects of 10-day unilateral lower limb suspension (ULLS) followed by 21 days of active recovery (AR) in young healthy men.

Functional unloading leads to metabolic and functional disorders in FAPs in vitro

Project description:In our study, we used hindlimb unloading rat model to study fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) condition in muscle atrophy. We have purified FAPs from m. soleus from control rats and after 7 and 14 days of immobilization (HS7, HS14). Also, we performed adipogenic differentiation of FAPS in vitro during 3 days.

Effect of genetic background and limb immobilization on tibial metaphysis transcriptomes in 19‑week male mice

Project description:This study profiles tibial metaphysis RNA expression across eight inbred mouse strains subjected to unilateral hindlimb immobilization. RNA‑seq was performed on metaphyseal tissue from immobilized and contralateral control limbs to identify strain‑specific transcriptional responses to mechanical unloading. Differential expression analysis revealed distinct genetic‑background–dependent signatures associated with bone remodeling, inflammation, and mechanotransduction pathways.

Microarray analysis of mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by aging

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). Skeletal muscle tissues of young mice (13 weeks old, male) and old mice (25 months old, male) were collected and RNA extracted. Expression of Dnmt3a was reduced while expression of Gdf5 was increased in old mice compared to young mice.

Transcriptional analysis of PBMCs reveals sex specific changes in the aging of the immune system

Project description:Aging and sex have a strong influence on the functional capacity of the immune system. In general, the immune response in females is stronger than that in males, but there is little information about the effect of aging on this difference. To address this question, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from nonagenarians and young controls. We found 337 and 269 genes to be differentially expressed (p<0.05, fold change >1.5 or <-1.5) in nonagenarian females and males, respectively; 177 of these were changed in both sexes. An analysis of the affected signaling pathways revealed a clear sex bias: the number of significantly changed pathways was 43 in females and 40 in males; 23 were shared. These data show that the effects of aging on the immune system are significantly different in males and females.
