RESUMO

During aging, muscle regenerative capacities decline, which is concomitant with the loss of satellite cells that enter in a state of irreversible senescence. However, what mechanisms are involved in myogenic senescence and differentiation are largely unknown. Here, we showed that early-passage or "young" C2C12 myoblasts activated the redox-sensitive p66Shc signaling pathway, exhibited a strong antioxidant protection and a bioenergetic profile relying predominantly on OXPHOS, responses that decrease progressively during differentiation. Furthermore, autophagy was increased in myotubes. Otherwise, late-passage or "senescent" myoblasts led to a highly metabolic profile, relying on both OXPHOS and glycolysis, that may be influenced by the loss of SQSTM1/p62 which tightly regulates the metabolic shift from aerobic glycolysis to OXPHOS. Furthermore, during differentiation of late-passage C2C12 cells, both p66Shc signaling and autophagy were impaired and this coincides with reduced myogenic capacity. Our findings recognized that the lack of p66Shc compromises the proliferation and the onset of the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Moreover, the Atg7 silencing favored myoblasts growth, whereas interfered in the viability of differentiated myotubes. Then, our work demonstrates that the p66Shc signaling pathway, which highly influences cellular metabolic status and oxidative environment, is critical for the myogenic commitment and differentiation of C2C12 cells. Our findings also support that autophagy is essential for the metabolic switch observed during the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts, confirming how its regulation determines cell fate. The regulatory roles of p66Shc and autophagy mechanisms on myogenesis require future attention as possible tools that could predict and measure the aging-related state of frailty and disability.

RESUMO

Hybridization of livestock can be used to improve varieties, and different hybrid combinations produce unique breeding effects. In this study, male Southdown and Suffolk sheep were selected to hybridize with female Hu sheep to explore the effects of male parentage on muscle growth and the development of offspring. Using data-independent acquisition technology, we identified 119, 187, and 26 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) between Hu × Hu (HH) versus Southdown × Hu (NH), HH versus Suffolk × Hu (SH), and NH versus SH crosses. Two DAPs, MYOZ2 and MYOM3, were common to the three hybrid groups and were mainly enriched in muscle growth and development-related pathways. At the myoblast proliferation stage, MYOZ2 expression decreased cell viability and inhibited proliferation. At the myoblast differentiation stage, MYOZ2 expression promoted myoblast fusion and enhanced the level of cell fusion. These findings provide new insights into the key proteins and metabolic pathways involved in the effect of male parentage on muscle growth and the development of hybrid offspring in sheep.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Muscle growth post-birth relies on muscle fiber number and size. Myofibre number, metabolic and contractile capacities are established pre-birth during prenatal myogenesis. The aim of this study was to identify genes involved in skeletal muscle development in cattle, sheep, and pigs - livestock. RESULTS: The cattle analysis showed significant differences in 5043 genes during the 135-280 dpc period. In sheep, 444 genes differed significantly during the 70-120 dpc period. Pigs had 905 significantly different genes for the 63-91 dpc period.The biological processes and KEGG pathway enrichment results in each species individually indicated that DEGs in cattle were significantly enriched in regulation of cell proliferation, cell division, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, and signaling pathways (PI3K-Akt, PPAR, MAPK, AMPK, Ras, Rap1); in sheep - positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation, negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, insulin resistance, and signaling pathways (PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, prolactin, Rap1, PPAR); in pigs - regulation of striated muscle tissue development, collagen fibril organization, positive regulation of insulin secretion, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, and signaling pathways (PPAR, FoxO, HIF-1, AMPK). Among the DEGs common for studied animal species, 45 common genes were identified. Based on these, a protein-protein interaction network was created and three significant modules critical for skeletal muscle myogenesis were found, with the most significant module A containing four recognized hub genes - EGFR, VEGFA, CDH1, and CAV1. Using the miRWALK and TF2DNA databases, miRNAs (bta-miR-2374 and bta-miR-744) and transcription factors (CEBPB, KLF15, RELA, ZNF143, ZBTB48, and REST) associated with hub genes were detected. Analysis of GO term and KEGG pathways showed that such processes are related to myogenesis and associated with module A: positive regulation of MAP kinase activity, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, insulin-like growth factor binding, focal adhesion, and signaling pathways (PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, Rap1, Ras, MAPK). CONCLUSIONS: The identified genes, common to the prenatal developmental period of skeletal muscle in livestock, are critical for later muscle development, including its growth by hypertrophy. They regulate valuable economic characteristics. Enhancing and breeding animals according to the recognized genes seems essential for breeders to achieve superior gains in high-quality muscle mass.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Vitamin A and retinoic acid (RA, a metabolite of vitamin A), are inextricably involved to the development of skeletal muscle in animals. However, the mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle development by vitamin A remain poorly reported. The current study designed to investigate the underlying mechanism of vitamin A affecting myogenic differentiation of lamb myoblasts through transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) and gene function validation experiments. It provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the regulation of vitamin A on skeletal muscle development as well as for improving the economic benefits of the mutton sheep industry. RESULTS: Newborn lambs were injected with 7,500 IU vitamin A, and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle tissue was surgically sampled for RNA-Seq analysis and primary myoblasts isolation at 3 weeks of age. The results showed that a total of 14 down-regulated and 3 up-regulated genes, were identified between control and vitamin A groups. Among them, BHLHE40 expression was upregulated in vitamin A group lambs. Furthermore, BHLHE40 expression is significantly increased after initiation of differentiation in myoblasts, and RA addition during differentiation greatly promoted BHLHE40 mRNA expression. In vitro, RA inhibited myoblasts proliferation and promoted myoblasts myogenic differentiation through BHLHE40. Moreover, BHLHE40 was proved to inhibit the expression of the DNA binding inhibitor 3 (ID3), and meanwhile, ID3 could effectively promote myoblasts proliferation and inhibit myoblasts myogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our results suggested that vitamin A inhibited myoblasts proliferation and promoted myoblasts myogenic differentiation by inhibiting ID3 expression through BHLHE40.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Satellite cells are myogenic precursor cells in adult skeletal muscle and play a crucial role in skeletal muscle regeneration, maintenance, and growth. Like embryonic myoblasts, satellite cells have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and fuse to form multinucleated myofibers. In this study, we aimed to identify additional transcription factors that control gene expression during bovine satellite cell proliferation and differentiation. RESULTS: Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing, we identified 56,973 and 54,470 genomic regions marked with both the histone modifications H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, which were considered active enhancers, and 50,956 and 59,174 genomic regions marked with H3K27me3, which were considered repressed enhancers, in proliferating and differentiating bovine satellite cells, respectively. In addition, we identified 1,216 and 1,171 super-enhancers in proliferating and differentiating bovine satellite cells, respectively. Analyzing these enhancers showed that in proliferating bovine satellite cells, active enhancers were associated with genes stimulating cell proliferation or inhibiting myoblast differentiation whereas repressed enhancers were associated with genes essential for myoblast differentiation, and that in differentiating satellite cells, active enhancers were associated with genes essential for myoblast differentiation or muscle contraction whereas repressed enhancers were associated with genes stimulating cell proliferation or inhibiting myoblast differentiation. Active enhancers in proliferating bovine satellite cells were enriched with binding sites for many transcription factors such as MYF5 and the AP-1 family transcription factors; active enhancers in differentiating bovine satellite cells were enriched with binding sites for many transcription factors such as MYOG and TFAP4; and repressed enhancers in both proliferating and differentiating bovine satellite cells were enriched with binding sites for NF-kB, ZEB-1, and several other transcription factors. The role of TFAP4 in satellite cell or myoblast differentiation was previously unknown, and through gene knockdown and overexpression, we experimentally validated a critical role for TFAP4 in the differentiation and fusion of bovine satellite cells into myofibers. CONCLUSIONS: Satellite cell proliferation and differentiation are controlled by many transcription factors such as AP-1, TFAP4, NF-kB, and ZEB-1 whose roles in these processes were previously unknown in addition to those transcription factors such as MYF5 and MYOG whose roles in these processes are widely known.

RESUMO

This study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise on muscle fiber conversion, muscle development and meat quality in the biceps femoris (BF) muscle of Sunit sheep. Twelve Sunit sheep with similar body weight were divided into two groups: control group (C group) and exercise group (E group), E group lambs underwent 6 km of exercise training per day for 90 d. The findings revealed that compared with the C group, exercise training enhanced the expression of MyHC IIa mRNA, decreased the number ratio of type IIB muscle fibers and the expression of MyHC IIb mRNA (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the E group lamb displayed higher creatine kinase (CK) activity, and lactic acid levels (P < 0.05), while glycogen content and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity showed opposite trends (P < 0.05). Exercise significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression of AMP-activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1), sirtuin1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α), cytochrome c oxidase IV (COX IV), protein kinase B (Akt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and p70 Ribosomal S6 Kinase 1 (p70s6k1) (P < 0.05), suggesting exercise promoted muscle fiber conversion by mediating AMPK/PGC-1α pathway, and improved skeletal muscle development via Akt/mTOR pathway. Besides, backfat thickness and pH45min value in the E group decreased significantly, while the pH24, a*, and shear force value increased significantly (P < 0.05). To conclude, this study suggested that exercise training can be used to alter muscle fiber characteristics and muscle development in lamb production.

RESUMO

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) stochastically accrue in skeletal muscle and on collagen over an individual's lifespan, stiffening the muscle and modifying the stem cell (MuSC) microenvironment while promoting proinflammatory, antiregenerative signaling via the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGEs). In the present study, a novel in vitro model was developed of this phenomenon by cross linking a 3-D collagen scaffold with AGEs and investigating how myoblasts responded to such an environment. Briefly, collagen scaffolds were incubated with d-ribose (0, 25, 40, 100, or 250 mM) for 5 days at 37°C. C2C12 immortalized mouse myoblasts were grown on the scaffolds for 6 days in growth conditions for proliferation, and 12 days for differentiation and fusion. Human primary myoblasts were also used to confirm the C2C12 data. AGEs aberrantly extended the DNA production stage of C2C12s (but not in human primary myoblasts) which is known to delay differentiation in myogenesis, and this effect was prevented by RAGE inhibition. Furthermore, the differentiation and fusion of myoblasts were disrupted by AGEs, which were associated with reductions in integrins and suppression of RAGE. The addition of S100b (RAGE agonist) recovered the differentiation and fusion of myoblasts, and the addition of RAGE inhibitors (FPS-ZM1 and Azeliragon) inhibited the differentiation and fusion of myoblasts. Our results provide novel insights into the role of the AGE-RAGE axis in skeletal muscle aging, and future work is warranted on the potential application of S100b as a proregenerative factor in aged skeletal muscle.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Collagen cross-linked by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) induced myoblast proliferation but prevented differentiation, myotube formation, and RAGE upregulation. RAGE inhibition occluded AGE-induced myoblast proliferation, while the delivery of S100b, a RAGE ligand, recovered fusion deficits.

RESUMO

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in regulating cellular behaviors and functions. However, the impact of ECM topography on muscle cell adhesion and differentiation remains poorly understood from a mechanosensing perspective. In this study, we fabricated aligned and random electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers to mimic the structural characteristics of ECM. Mechanism investigations revealed that the orientation of nanofibers promoted C2C12 polarization and myogenesis through Rac-related signaling pathways. Conversely, cells cultured on random fibers exhibited spreading behavior mediated by RhoA/ROCK pathways, resulting in enhanced stress fiber formation but reduced capacity for myogenic differentiation. Our findings highlight the critical role of an ECM structure in muscle regeneration and damage repair, providing novel insights into mechanosensing mechanisms underlying muscle injury diseases.

RESUMO

Skeletal muscle development is a highly ordered process orchestrated transcriptionally by the myogenic regulatory factors. However, the downstream molecular mechanisms of myogenic regulatory factor functions in myogenesis are not fully understood. Here, we identified the RNA-binding protein Musashi2 (Msi2) as a myogenin target gene and a post-transcriptional regulator of myoblast differentiation. Msi2 knockdown in murine myoblasts blocked differentiation without affecting the expression of MyoD or myogenin. Msi2 overexpression was also sufficient to promote myoblast differentiation and myocyte fusion. Msi2 loss attenuated autophagosome formation via down-regulation of the autophagic protein MAPL1LC3/ATG8 (LC3) at the early phase of myoblast differentiation. Moreover, forced activation of autophagy effectively suppressed the differentiation defects incurred by Msi2 loss. Consistent with its functions in myoblasts in vitro, mice deficient for Msi2 exhibited smaller limb skeletal muscles, poorer exercise performance, and muscle fiber-type switching in vivo. Collectively, our study demonstrates that Msi2 is a novel regulator of mammalian myogenesis and establishes a new functional link between muscular development and autophagy regulation.

RESUMO

Noncoding RNAs, including miRNAs (microRNAs) and circRNAs (circular RNA), are crucial regulators of myoblast proliferation and differentiation during muscle development. However, the specific roles and molecular mechanisms of circRNAs in muscle development remain poorly understood. Based on the existing circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network, our study focuses on circUBE3C, exploring its differential expression in fetal and adult muscle tissue of the cattle and investigating its impact on myoblast proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. The functional analysis of overexpression plasmids and siRNAs (small interfering RNAs) targeting circUBE3C was comprehensively evaluated by employing an array of advanced assays, encompassing CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8), EdU (5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine), flow cytometry, western blot analysis, and RT-qPCR. In vivo investigations indicated that overexpression of circUBE3C impedes the process of skeletal muscle regeneration. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that circUBE3C interacts with miR-191 and alleviates the suppression of p27 through cytoplasmic separation, bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RIP (RNA immunoprecipitation). Our findings indicate that the novel circRNA circUBE3C competitively binds to miR-191, thereby inhibiting proliferation and promoting apoptosis in bovine primary myoblasts and unveiling a regulatory pathway in bovine skeletal muscle development. These findings expand our understanding of circRNA functions in mammals and provide a basis for further exploration of their role in myogenesis and muscle diseases.

RESUMO

Adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are critical for muscle homeostasis and regeneration, and their behavior relies on a finely regulated niche made of specific extracellular matrix (ECM) components and soluble factors. Among ECM proteins, collagen VI (Col6) influences the mechanical properties of the niche and, in turn, MuSC self-renewal capabilities. Here, we investigated whether Col6 can exert a direct function as a biochemical signal for regulating the stemness and differentiation of murine MuSCs and myoblasts. Native Col6, but not its pepsin-resistant fragment, counteracts the early differentiation of myogenic cells by reducing the expression of differentiation marker genes and preserving stemness features, with inhibition of the canonical Wnt pathway. Our data indicate that extracellular Col6 acts as a soluble ligand in delaying early myogenic differentiation by regulating intracellular signals involved in adult myogenesis.

RESUMO

Skeletal muscle growth and development in livestock and poultry play a pivotal role in determining the quality and yield of meat production. However, the mechanisms of myogenesis are remained unclear due to it finely regulated by a complex network of biological macromolecules. In this study, leveraging previous sequencing data, we investigated a differentially expressed circular RNA (circSGCB) present in fetal and adult muscle tissues among various ruminant species, including cattle, goat, and sheep. Our analysis revealed that circSGCB is a single exon circRNA, potentially regulated by an adjacent bovine enhancer. Functional analysis through loss-of-function tests demonstrated that circSGCB exerts inhibitory effects on bovine myoblast proliferation while promoting myocytes generation. Furthermore, we discovered that circSGCB primarily localizes to the cytoplasm, where it functions as a molecular sponge by binding to bta-miR-27a-3p. This interaction releases the mRNAs of KLF3 gene and further activates downstream functional pathways. In vivo, studies provided evidence that up-regulation of KLF3 contributes to muscle regeneration. These findings collectively suggest that circSGCB operates via a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism to regulate KLF3, thereby influencing myogenesis in ruminants and highlights it may as potential molecular targets for enhancing meat production in livestock and poultry industries.

RESUMO

Recent studies have shown that some natural compounds from plants prevent obesity and related disorders, including the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. In this study, we investigated the effect of echinacoside (ECH), a caffeic acid glycoside from the phenylpropanoid class, on myogenesis and ATP-dependent thermogenesis in the skeletal muscle and its interaction with the dopaminergic receptors 1 and 5 (DRD1 and DRD5). We applied RT-PCR, immunoblot analysis, a staining method, and an assay kit to determine the effects of ECH on diverse target genes and proteins involved in skeletal muscle myogenesis and ATP-consuming futile processes. Our study demonstrated that ECH enhanced myogenic differentiation, glucose, and fatty acid uptake, as well as lipid catabolism, and induced ATP-dependent thermogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, ECH upregulated mitochondrial biogenesis proteins, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes, and intracellular Ca2+ signaling as well as thermogenic proteins. These findings were further elucidated by mechanistic studies which showed that ECH mediates myogenesis via the DRD1/5 in C2C12 muscle cells. In addition, ECH stimulates α1-AR-mediated ATP-dependent thermogenesis via the DRD1/5/cAMP/SLN/SERCA1a pathway in C2C12 muscle cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that demonstrates the myogenic and thermogenic potential of ECH activity through the dopaminergic receptors. Understanding the novel functions of ECH in terms of its ability to prevent skeletal muscle loss and energy expenditure via ATP-consuming futile processes could help to develop potential alternative strategies to address muscle-related diseases, including combating obesity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle development is pivotal for animal growth and health. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to interact with chromatin through diverse roles. However, little is known about how lncRNAs act as chromatin-associated RNAs to regulate skeletal muscle development. Here, we aim to investigate the regulation of chromatin-associated RNA (MYH1G-AS) during skeletal muscle development. METHODS: We provided comprehensive insight into the RNA profile and chromatin accessibility of different myofibers, combining RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq). The dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay were used to analyze the transcriptional regulation mechanism of MYH1G-AS. ALKBH5-mediated MYH1G-AS N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylation was assessed by a single-base elongation and ligation-based qPCR amplification method (SELECT) assay. Functions of MYH1G-AS were investigated through a primary myoblast and lentivirus/cholesterol-modified antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated animal model. To validate the interaction of MYH1G-AS with fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) protein, RNA pull down and an RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed. Specifically, the interaction between FGF18 and SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 5 (SMARCA5) protein was analyzed by coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and a yeast two-hybrid assay. RESULTS: A total of 45 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, with DE ATAC-seq peaks in their promoter region, were classified as open chromatin-associated lncRNAs. A skeletal muscle-specific lncRNA (MSTRG.15576.9; MYH1G-AS), which is one of the open chromatin-associated lncRNA, was identified. MYH1G-AS transcription is coordinately regulated by transcription factors (TF) SMAD3 and SP2. Moreover, SP2 represses ALKBH5 transcription to weaken ALKBH5-mediated m6A demethylation of MYH1G-AS, thus destroying MYH1G-AS RNA stability. MYH1G-AS accelerates myoblast proliferation but restrains myoblast differentiation. Moreover, MYH1G-AS drives a switch from slow-twitch to fast-twitch fibers and causes muscle atrophy. Mechanistically, MYH1G-AS inhibits FGF18 protein stabilization to reduce the interaction of FGF18 to SMARCA5, thus repressing chromatin accessibility of the SMAD4 promoter to activate the SMAD4-dependent pathway. CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal a new pattern of the regulation of lncRNA expression at diverse levels and help expound the regulation of m6A methylation on chromatin status.

RESUMO

The transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle (SKM) development (myogenesis) has been documented for over 3 decades and served as a paradigm for tissue-specific cell type determination and differentiation. Myogenic stem cells (MuSC) in embryos and adult SKM are regulated by the transcription factors Pax3 and Pax7 for their stem cell characteristics, while their lineage determination and terminal differentiation are both dictated by the myogenic regulatory factors (MRF) that comprise Mrf4, Myf5, Myogenin, and MyoD. The myocyte enhancer factor Mef2c is activated by MRF during terminal differentiation and collaborates with them to promote myoblast fusion and differentiation. Recent studies have found critical regulation of these myogenic transcription factors at mRNA level, including subcellular localization, stability, and translational regulation. Therefore, the regulation of Pax3/7, MRFs and Mef2c mRNAs by RNA-binding factors and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), will be the focus of this review and the impact of this regulation on myogenesis will be further addressed. Interestingly, the stem cell characteristics of MuSC has been found to be critically regulated by ncRNAs, implying the involvement of ncRNAs in SKM homeostasis and regeneration. Current studies have further identified that some ncRNAs are implicated in the etiology of some SKM diseases and can serve as valuable tools/indicators for prediction of prognosis. The roles of ncRNAs in the MuSC biology and SKM disease etiology will also be discussed in this review.

RESUMO

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of zinc amino acid complexes on growth performance, tissue zinc concentration, and muscle development in broilers. A total of 504 day-old male arbor acres broilers were randomly divided into seven treatments (fed with a basal diet or a basal diet supplemented with 120 mg kg-1 Zn as ZnSO4, 30, 60, 90 or 120 mg kg-1 Zn as ZnN, or 30 mg kg-1 Zn as ZnA separately). Each group had six replicates, with 12 birds per replicate. The results showed that the addition of 60 mg kg-1 ZnN significantly increased (P < 0.05) the average daily gain (ADG) and breast muscle percentage of broilers. Zinc concentration of ZnN and ZnA added groups were higher than (P < 0.05) that in the Zn sulfate group under the same addition dose. Except for the 30 mg kg-1 ZnN group, the muscle fiber diameter and cross-sectional area (CSA) were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the ZnN addition groups. Compared with the basal diet group, adding ZnN significantly increased (P < 0.05) the expression of MTOR, MYOD, and MYOG at day 21 and decreased (P < 0.05) the expression of Atrogin-1. The expression levels of AKT, MTOR, P70S6K, and MYOD were increased at day 42, while the expression levels of MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 were decreased. Adhesion, backbone regulation of actin, MAPK, mTOR, and AMPK were significantly enriched as indicated by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. In conclusion, zinc amino acid complexes could improve growth performance, tissue zinc concentration, and regulate breast muscle development.

RESUMO

Myoblast proliferation and differentiation are highly dynamic and regulated processes in skeletal muscle development. Given that proteins serve as the executors for the majority of biological processes, exploring key regulatory factors and mechanisms at the protein level offers substantial opportunities for understanding the skeletal muscle development. In this study, a total of 607 differentially expressed proteins between proliferation and differentiation in myoblasts were screened out using our chicken muscle antibody array. Biological function analysis revealed the importance of energy production processes and compound metabolic processes in myogenesis. Our antibody array specifically identified an upregulation of LDHA during differentiation, which was associated with the energy metabolism. Subsequent investigation demonstrated that LDHA promoted the glycolysis and TCA cycle, thereby enhancing myoblasts differentiation. Mechanistically, LDHA promotes the glycolysis and TCA cycle but inhibits the ETC oxidative phosphorylation through enhancing the NADH cycle, providing the intermediate metabolites that improve the myoblasts differentiation. Additionally, increased glycolytic ATP by LDHA induces Akt phosphorylation and activate the PI3K-Akt pathway, which might also contribute to the promotion of myoblasts differentiation. Our studies not only present a powerful tool for exploring myogenic regulatory factors in chicken muscle, but also identify a novel role for LDHA in modulating myoblast differentiation through its regulation of cellular NAD+ levels and subsequent downstream effects on mitochondrial function.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle atrophy, particularly ageing-related muscular atrophy such as sarcopenia, is a significant health concern. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, and specific approved medications are currently unavailable. Deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) is a well-known regulator of senescence, metabolism or apoptosis. Recent reports suggest that DBC1 may also potentially regulate muscle function, as mice lacking DBC1 exhibit weakness and limpness. However, the function of DBC1 in skeletal muscle and its associated molecular mechanisms remain unknown, thus prompting the focus of this study. METHODS: Tibialis anterior (TA) muscle-specific DBC1 knockdown C57BL/6J male mice were generated through a single injection of 2.00 E + 11 vg of adeno-associated virus 9 delivering single-guide RNA for DBC1. Grip strength and endurance were assessed 2 months later, followed by skeletal muscle harvest. Muscle atrophy model was generated by cast immobilization of the mouse hindlimb for 2 weeks. Molecular markers of atrophy were probed in muscles upon termination. Cardiotoxin (CTX) was injected in TA muscles of DBC1 knockdown mice, and muscle regeneration was assessed by immunohistochemistry, quantitative PCR and western blotting. DBC1 knockdown C2C12 cells and myotubes were investigated using immunofluorescence staining, Seahorse, immunohistology, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and RNA-sequencing analyses. RESULTS: DBC1 knockdown in skeletal muscle of young mice led to signatures of muscle atrophy, including a 28% reduction in muscle grip force (P = 0.023), a 54.4% reduction in running distance (P = 0.002), a 14.3% reduction in muscle mass (P = 0.007) and significantly smaller myofibre cross-sectional areas (P < 0.0001). DBC1 levels decrease in age-related or limb immobilization-induced atrophic mouse muscles and overexpress DBC1-attenuated atrophic phenotypes in these mice. Muscle regeneration was hampered in mice with CTX-induced muscle injury by DBC1 knockdown, as evidenced by reductions in myofibre cross-sectional areas of regenerating myofibres with centralized nuclei (P < 0.0001), percentages of MyoG+ nuclei (P < 0.0001) and fusion index (P < 0.0001). DBC1 transcriptionally regulated mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), which mediated ubiquitination and degradation of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3). Increased FOXO3 proteins hampered myogenesis in DBC1 knockdown satellite cells by compromising around 50% of mitochondrial functions (P < 0.001) and exacerbated atrophy in DBC1 knockdown myofibres by activating the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome pathways. CONCLUSIONS: DBC1 is essential in maintaining skeletal muscle integrity by protecting against myofibres wasting and enhancing muscle regeneration via FOXO3. This research highlights the significance of DBC1 for healthy skeletal muscle function and its connection to muscular atrophy.

RESUMO

Skeletal muscle is one the largest organs of the body and is involved in animal production and human health. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in skeletal myogenesis through largely unknown mechanisms. Herein, we report the phenotypic and metabolomic analysis of porcine longissimus dorsi muscles in Lantang and Landrace piglets, revealing a high-content of slow-oxidative fibers responsible for high-quality meat product in Lantang piglets. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified four myogenesis-related cell types, and the Akt-FoxO3 signaling axis was the most significantly enriched pathway in each subpopulation in the different pig breeds, as well as in fast-twitch glycolytic fibers. Using the multi-dimensional bioinformatic tools of circRNAome-seq and Ribo-seq, we identified a novel circRNA, circKANSL1L, with a protein-coding ability in porcine muscles, whose expression level correlated with myoblast proliferation and differentiation in vitro, as well as the transformation between distinct mature myofibers in vivo. The protein product of circKANSL1L could interact with Akt to decrease the phosphorylation level of FoxO3, which subsequently promoted FoxO3 transcriptional activity to regulate skeletal myogenesis. Our results established the existence of a protein encoded by circKANSL1L and demonstrated its potential functions in myogenesis.

RESUMO

Breast muscle myopathies in broilers compromise meat quality and continue to plague the poultry industry. Broiler breast muscle myopathies are characterized by impaired satellite cell (SC)-mediated repair, and localized tissue hypoxia and dysregulation of oxygen homeostasis have been implicated as contributing factors. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that hypoxia disrupts the ability of SC to differentiate and form myotubes, both of which are key components of myofiber repair, and to determine the extent to which effects are reversed by restoration of oxygen tension. Primary SC were isolated from pectoralis major of young (5 d) Cobb 700 chicks and maintained in growth conditions or induced to differentiate under normoxic (20% O2) or hypoxic (1% O2) conditions for up to 48 h. Hypoxia enhanced SC proliferation while inhibiting myogenic potential, with decreased fusion index and suppressed myotube formation. Reoxygenation after hypoxia partially reversed effects on both proliferation and myogenesis. Western blotting showed that hypoxia diminished myogenin expression, activated AMPK, upregulated proliferation markers, and increased molecular signaling of cellular stress. Hypoxia also promoted accumulation of lipid droplets in myotubes. Targeted RNAseq identified numerous differentially expressed genes across differentiation under hypoxia, including several genes that have been associated with myopathies in vivo. Altogether, these data demonstrate localized hypoxia may influence SC behavior in ways that disrupt muscle repair and promote the formation of myopathies in broilers.
