Project description:Loss of muscle mass and strength following disuse followed by impaired muscle recovery likely contribute to sarcopenia in older adults. Metformin and leucine individually have shown positive effects in skeletal muscle during atrophy conditions but have not been evaluated in combination nor under the conditions of disuse atrophy and recovery in aging. The purpose of this study was to determine if a dual treatment of metformin and leucine (MET+LEU) would prevent disuse-induced atrophy and/or promote muscle recovery in aged mice (22-24 mo). We were also interested if these muscle responses correspond to changes in satellite cells and ECM abundance. Aged mice were subjected to 14 days of hindlimb unloading (HU) followed by 7 or 14 days of reloading (7 or 14d RL). Metformin (MET), leucine (LEU), or MET+LEU was administered via drinking water and were compared to Vehicle-treated mice. We observed that MET+LEU increased whole body grip strength, muscle specific force and satellite cell abundance during HU but did not alter muscle size during HU or RL. Moreover, MET+LEU treatment increased ECM turnover driven by a decrease in collagen IV content during 7 and 14d RL. Transcriptome analysis revealed that MET+LEU altered Gene Set Enrichment Analysis hallmark pathways related to inflammation and myogenesis during HU. Together , MET+LEU was able to improve muscle quality during disuse and recovery in aging possibly by increasing muscle satellite cell content and reducing excessive ECM accumulation.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is dictated by the balance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown, known as proteostasis. With advanced age, muscle atrophy contributes to development of co-morbidities, loss of strength and independence, and all-cause mortality. Aging also coincides with the accumulation of senescent cells within skeletal muscle that produce inflammatory products, known as the senescence associated secretory phenotype. Previously, we found that a metformin + leucine (MET+LEU) combination treatment had synergistic effects in aged mice to improve skeletal muscle structure and function during disuse atrophy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the mechanisms by which MET+LEU exhibits muscle atrophy protection in vitro and if this occurs through cellular senescence. C2C12 myoblasts differentiated into myotubes were used to determine MET+LEU mechanisms during serum-deprivation (SD) atrophy. Single myofibers were isolated from aged (22-23 mo) C57Bl6/J mice, and human primary myoblasts were extracted from a healthy older adult donor. 25 + 125 µM MET+LEU treatment increased differentiation of myotubes and prevented SD induced atrophy. Low concentration (0.1 + 0.5 µM) MET+LEU had unique effects to prevent myotube atrophy and cause transcriptional reprogramming compared to individual therapies. SD increased inflammatory and cellular senescence pathways that was reversed with MET+LEU treatment. SD resulted in dysregulated proteostasis that was rescued with MET+LEU, and proteasome inhibition with MG-132 also rescued myotube atrophy. Cellular senescence transcriptional pathways and markers increased by SD were reversed with MET+LEU treatment, and dasatinib + quercetin (D+Q) senolytic treatment prevented myotube atrophy similar to MET+LEU. In aged myofibers, MET+LEU prevented SD atrophy, and in human primary myotubes MET+LEU prevented reductions in myonuclei fusion. These data provide evidence that MET+LEU has muscle cell intrinsic properties to prevent atrophy by reversing senescence and improving proteostasis

Project description:To identify atrophy genes directly targeted by Bcl-3 transactivator at a genome wide level, we performed whole transcript expression array and ChIP-seq for muscles from weight bearing or 5-day hind limb unloaded mice. Genes that showed increased expression with unloading and a Bcl-3 peak in the promoter (from ChIP-seq data) were considered as Bcl-3 direct targets during disuse atrophy. Using ChIP array, we identified 241 direct targets for Bcl-3. Our data describe Bcl-3 as a global regulator both of the proteolysis and the change in energy metabolism that are essential components of muscle atrophy due to disuse. Disuse skeletal muscle atrophy was induced by hind limb unloading. Weight bearing (WB) or 5-day hind limb unloaded (HU) muscles were harvested for total RNA isolation and processed for whole transcript expression profiling. We chose to examine gene expression and Bcl-3 binding from 5-day unloaded muscles because our previous time course study of disuse atrophy suggested that most genes are differentially regulated at this time point, and thus, would best represent the time for Bcl-3 binding to the gene targets of the NF-kB transcriptional network.

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that 2-weeks of metformin ingestion in healthy older adults would improve intrinsic age-related deficits in myoblast (activated satellite cell) function as tested by a series of in vitro functional assays to determine proliferation, fusion index, and myoblast-endothelial cell homing.

Project description:Metformin is the therapy of choice for treating type 2 diabetes and is currently repurposed for a wide range of diseases including aging. Recent evidence implicates the gut microbiota as a site of metformin action. Combining two tractable genetic models, the bacterium E. coli and the nematode C. elegans, we performed C. elegans RNAseq to investigate the role of the metformin sensitive OP50 and metformin resistant OP50-MR E. coli microbiota in the drug effects on the host. Our data suggest an evolutionarily conserved bacterial mediation of metformin effects on host lipid metabolism and lifespan.
