Mitochondrial fusion and altered beta-oxidation drive muscle wasting in a Drosophila cachexia model. EMBO Rep 2024; 25:1835-1858. [PMID: 38429578 PMCID: PMC11014992 DOI: 10.1038/s44319-024-00102-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Cancer cachexia is a tumour-induced wasting syndrome, characterised by extreme loss of skeletal muscle. Defective mitochondria can contribute to muscle wasting; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a Drosophila larval model of cancer cachexia, we observed enlarged and dysfunctional muscle mitochondria. Morphological changes were accompanied by upregulation of beta-oxidation proteins and depletion of muscle glycogen and lipid stores. Muscle lipid stores were also decreased in Colon-26 adenocarcinoma mouse muscle samples, and expression of the beta-oxidation gene CPT1A was negatively associated with muscle quality in cachectic patients. Mechanistically, mitochondrial defects result from reduced muscle insulin signalling, downstream of tumour-secreted insulin growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) homologue ImpL2. Strikingly, muscle-specific inhibition of Forkhead box O (FOXO), mitochondrial fusion, or beta-oxidation in tumour-bearing animals preserved muscle integrity. Finally, dietary supplementation with nicotinamide or lipids, improved muscle health in tumour-bearing animals. Overall, our work demonstrates that muscle FOXO, mitochondria dynamics/beta-oxidation and lipid utilisation are key regulators of muscle wasting in cancer cachexia.

The Characterization of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Sunit Sheep at Different Growth Stages: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Morphology, Fatty Acid Profile, and Metabolite Profile. Foods 2024; 13:544. [PMID: 38397521 PMCID: PMC10887640 DOI: 10.3390/foods13040544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Adipose tissue is a crucial economically significant trait that significantly influences the meat quality and growth performance of domestic animals. To reveal the changes in adipose tissue metabolism during the growth of naturally grazing sheep, we evaluated the thickness, adipocyte morphology, fatty acid profile, and metabolite profile of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) from naturally grazing Sunit sheep at 6, 18, and 30 months of age (referred to as Mth-6, Mth-18, and Mth-30, respectively). The fat thickness and adipocyte number were significantly increased with the growth of the sheep (p < 0.05), and the increase of which from Mth-18 to Mth-30 was less than that from Mth-6 to Mth-18. Additionally, the alpha-linolenic acid metabolism was enhanced and fatty acid (FA) elongation increased with growth. The metabolomic analysis revealed 76 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) in the SAT in different growth stages. Interestingly, we observed elongation of FAs in lipids correlated with sheep growth. Furthermore, the expression of acylcarnitines was downregulated, and fatty acid amides, aspartic acid, acetic acid and phosphocholine were upregulated in Mth-18 and Mth-30 compared to Mth-6. Altogether, the study found that the difference in SAT in Mth-6 was great compared to Mth-18 and Mth-30. An increase in fat deposition via adipocyte proliferation with the growth of the sheep in naturally grazing. The DEMs of acylcarnitines, fatty acid amides, aspartic acid, acetic acid, and phosphocholine emerged as potential key regulators of adipose tissue metabolism. These findings illustrate the variation in and metabolic mechanism of sheep adipose tissue development under natural grazing, thus providing valuable insights into improving the edible quality of sheep meat and developing the mutton sheep industry.

Abstract
Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles that are mobile and harbor dynamic network structures. Although mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) play distinct cellular roles, they are physically connected to maintain functional homeostasis. Abnormal changes in this interaction have been linked to pathological states, including cardiac hypertrophy. However, the exact regulatory molecules and mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. Here, we report that ATPase family AAA-domain containing protein 3A (ATAD3A) is an essential regulator of ER-mitochondria interplay within the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM). ATAD3A prevents isoproterenol (ISO)-induced mitochondrial calcium accumulation, improving mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress, which preserves cardiac function and attenuates cardiac hypertrophy. We also find that ATAD3A is a new substrate of NAD+-dependent deacetylase Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). Notably, the heart mitochondria of SIRT3 knockout mice exhibited excessive formation of MAMs. Mechanistically, ATAD3A specifically undergoes acetylation, which reduces self-oligomerization and promotes cardiac hypertrophy. ATAD3A oligomerization is disrupted by acetylation at K134 site, and ATAD3A monomer closely interacts with the IP3R1-GRP75-VDAC1 complex, which leads to mitochondrial calcium overload and dysfunction. In summary, ATAD3A localizes to the MAMs, where it protects the homeostasis of ER-mitochondria contacts, quenching mitochondrial calcium overload and keeping mitochondrial bioenergetics unresponsive to ER stress. The SIRT3-ATAD3A axis represents a potential therapeutic target for cardiac hypertrophy.
