Microarray skeletal muscle PPARbeta overexpressing mice

ABSTRACT: This experiment was conducted to identify target genes of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta (PPARb) in skeletal muscle of transgenic mice that overexpressed PPARb. The following abstract from the submitted manuscript describes the major findings of this work. The Nuclear Receptor Transcription Factor PPARbeta/delta Programs Muscle Glucose Metabolism. Zhenji Gan, Eileen Burkart-Hartman, Dong-Ho Han, Brian Finck, Teresa C. Leone, John Holloszy, and Daniel P. Kelly. To identify new gene regulatory pathways controlling skeletal muscle energy metabolism, comparative studies were conducted on muscle-specific transgenic mouse lines expressing the nuclear receptors, PPARalpha (MCK-PPARalpha) or PPARbeta/delta (MCK-PPARbeta/delta). MCK-PPARbeta/delta mice are known to have enhanced exercise performance whereas MCK-PPARalpha mice perform at low levels. Transcriptional profiling revealed that the lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh)b/Ldha gene expression ratio is increased in MCK-PPARbeta/delta muscle, an isoenzyme shift that diverts pyruvate into the mitochondrion for the final steps of glucose oxidation. PPARbeta/delta gain- and loss-of-function studies in skeletal myotubes demonstrated that PPARbeta/delta, but not PPARalpha, interacts with the exercise inducible kinase, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), to synergistically activate Ldhb gene transcription by cooperating with myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A), in a PPARbeta/delta ligand-independent manner. MCK-PPARbeta/delta muscle was shown to have high glycogen stores, increased levels of GLUT4, and augmented capacity for mitochondrial pyruvate oxidation suggesting a broad reprogramming of glucose utilization pathways. Lastly, exercise studies demonstrated that MCK-PPARbeta/delta mice had lower circulating levels of lactate compared to non-transgenic controls, while exhibiting supranormal performance on a high intensity exercise regimen. These results identify a transcriptional regulatory mechanism that increases capacity for muscle glucose utilization in a pattern that resembles the effects of exercise training.

Project description:Background: Exercise mimetics is a proposed class of therapeutics that specifically mimics or enhances the therapeutic effects of exercise. Muscle glycogen and lactate extrusion are critical for physical performance. The mechanism by which glycogen and lactate metabolism are manipulated during exercise remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the effect of miR-92b on the upregulation of exercise training-induced physical performance. Methods: Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated skeletal muscle miR-92b overexpression in C57BLKS/J mice, and global knockout of miR-92b mice were used to explore the function of miR-92b in glycogen and lactate metabolism in skeletal muscle. AAV-mediated UGP2 or MCT4 knockdown in WT or miR-92 knockout mice was used to confirm whether miR-92b regulates glycogen and lactate metabolism in skeletal muscle through UGP2 and MCT4. Body weight, muscle weight, grip strength, running time and distance to exhaustion, and muscle histology were assessed. The expression levels of muscle mass-related and functionrelated proteins were analysed by immunoblotting or immunostaining. Results: Global knockout of miR-92b resulted in normal body weight and insulin sensitivity, but higher glycogen content before exercise exhaustion (0.8538 ± 0.0417 vs 1.043 ± 0.040, **P=0.0087), lower lactate levels after exercise exhaustion (4.133 ± 0.2589 vs 3.207 ± 0.2511, *P=0.0279), and better exercise capacity (running distance to exhaustion, 3616 ± 86.71 vs 4231 ± 90.29, ***P=0.0006; running time to exhaustion, 186.8 ± 8.027 vs 220.8 ± 3.156, **P=0.0028), as compared to those observed in the control mice. Mice skeletal muscle overexpressing miR-92b (both miR-92b-3p and miR-92b-5p) displayed lower glycogen content before exercise exhaustion (0.6318 ± 0.0231 vs 0.535 ± 0.0194, **P=0.0094), and higher lactate accumulation after exercise exhaustion (4.5 ± 0.2394 vs 5.467 ± 0.1892, *P=0.01), and poorer exercise capacity (running distance to exhaustion, 4005 ± 81.65 vs 3228 ± 149.8, ***P＜0.0001; running time to exhaustion, 225.5 ± 7.689 vs 163 ± 6.476, **P=0.001). Mechanistic analysis revealed that miR-92b-3p targets UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) expression to inhibit glycogen synthesis, while miR-92b-5p represses lactate extrusion by directly target monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4). Knockdown of UGP2 and MCT4 reversed the effects observed in the absence of miR-92b in vivo. Conclusions: This study revealed regulatory pathways, including miR-92b-3p/UGP2/glycogen synthesis and miR-92b-5p/MCT4/lactate extrusion, which could be targeted to control exercise capacity.
