Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) impacts human health beyond acute infection. Myalgia and fatigue represent two of the most prevalent symptoms in post-COVID-19 syndrome. To determine the mechanisms underlying prolonged muscle symptoms, we characterized longitudinal histopathological and transcriptional changes of skeletal muscle after acute respiratory SARS-CoV-2 infection in a COVID-19 hamster model and compared them with respiratory influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Histopathological and bulk RNA sequencing analyses at 3, 30, and 60 days post infection (dpi) showed no evidence of direct viral invasion, inflammatory cell infiltration, or microthrombi in skeletal muscle, but myofiber atrophy was observed in the SARS-CoV-2 group at 60 dpi, accompanied by downregulation of myofiber genes, atrogenes, and cytoplasmic ribosomal protein genes, and upregulation of autophagy genes. There was persistent downregulation of genes involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid beta-oxidation, and tricarboxylic acid cycle in the SARS-CoV-2 but not the IAV group. Moreover, TNF-alpha/NF-kB and TGF-beta signaling pathways were differentially regulated in the SARS-CoV-2 group. Our findings suggest that persistent muscle symptoms after COVID-19 may be caused by muscle atrophy and energy metabolism suppression, and that the systemic inflammatory cytokine response may contribute, in part, to the skeletal muscle abnormalities.

Project description:When mice of accelerated senescence prone 10 (SAMP10) were psychosocially stressed using male mouse’s territorial imperative, the mice exhibited higher cerebral atrophy and cognitive dysfunction than same-aged group-housing mice. The brain atrophy was examined using MRI. The volumes of various brain areas were decreased at the time of one month after confrontational housing. However, in SAMP10 mice ingesting theanine, the main amino acid in tea leaves, brain atrophy was suppressed even under confrontational housing. To investigate the function of theanine, the early response against stress was examined at the third day of confrontational housing. The level of transcription factor Npas4 that plays a role in the development of inhibitory synapses for regulating the balance between excitation and suppression was significantly increased by theanine intake. Actually, the levels of glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, were balanced in the mice ingested theanine under confrontational housing. These data suggest that theanine suppresses stress-induced damage in the brain via increased expression of Npas4 and regulation of excitement/suppression balance. In addition, SAMP10 is a useful model of stress vulnerability.

Project description:This study investigated the impact of an Opa1 variant on mitochondrial function and retinal metabolism using a novel knock-in mouse model (Opa1V291D/+) that mirrored autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA). The model recapitulated RGC-specific structural and functional deficits, highlighting mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by reduced Complex I activity, increased oxidative stress, and diminished ATP production. Spatial metabolomics revealed metabolic imbalances, with heightened glycolysis in the outer retina but an energy deficit in the inner retina, particularly affecting RGCs. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) confirmed a selective downregulation of energy-production genes in RGCs, underscoring their susceptibility to energy deficits. These findings established a mechanistic link between disrupted energy metabolism and RGC degeneration in ADOA and provided a valuable platform for exploring therapeutic strategies targeting energy pathways to prevent vision loss.

Project description:Disuse-induced muscle atrophy commonly occurs following illness, injury, or falls and becomes increasingly frequent with ageing. Whether skeletal muscle retains a “memory” of repeated disuse remains unknown. We investigated repeated lower- limb immobilization in young adults and a refined aged rat model, integrating physiological, multi-omic, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and primary human muscle stem cell (MuSC) analyses. To enable robust age comparisons, we integrated previously published young rat data with newly generated aged rat data. In young human muscle, repeated disuse elicited attenuated transcriptional perturbations in oxidative and mitochondrial pathways, suggestive of a protective molecular memory, despite similar atrophy to initial disuse. In contrast, aged muscle exhibited a detrimental memory, characterized by greater atrophy, exaggerated suppression of aerobic metabolism genes despite recovery after initial disuse, NAD+ and mitochondrial DNA depletion, and activation of proteasomal, extracellular-matrix, and DNA-damage pathways. Whereas young rats recovered muscle mass after initial disuse, aged rats failed to do so. Across species, repeated disuse induced DNA hypermethylation and downregulation of aerobic metabolism and mitochondrial gene networks. NR4A1 and NR4A3 were among the strongest disuse- suppressed genes; NR4A1 acquired recovery-phase hypermethylation that maintained its transcriptional repression, while NR4A3 was the most downregulated gene after initial atrophy and remained persistently suppressed into recovery. Acetylcholine receptor subunit genes (CHRNA1, CHRND) were epigenetically primed, demonstrating hypomethylation and strong upregulation after disuse, and further amplification after repeated atrophy, while CHRNG was selectively induced after repeated atrophy only. NMRK2, an NAD+ biosynthesis gene, was the most downregulated gene across both atrophy periods, and supplementation with its substrate, nicotinamide riboside (NR), improved myotube size in MuSCs derived post-atrophy. Overall, repeated disuse atrophy imprints a molecular memory in skeletal muscle shaping transcriptional resilience in young adults and exaggerated susceptibility in aged muscle.

Project description:We identify sestrins, a family of stress-inducible metabolic regulators, as protective factors against muscle wasting. Sestrin expression decreases during inactivity and its genetic deficiency exacerbates muscle wasting; conversely, sestrin overexpression suffices to prevent atrophy.
