Komori T, Morikawa Y. Essential roles of the cytokine oncostatin M in crosstalk between muscle fibers and immune cells in skeletal muscle after aerobic exercise. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102686. [PMID: 36370846 PMCID: PMC9720348 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Crosstalk between muscle fibers and immune cells is well known in the processes of muscle repair after exercise, especially resistance exercise. In aerobic exercise, however, this crosstalk is not fully understood. In the present study, we found that macrophages, especially anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages, and neutrophils accumulated in skeletal muscles of mice 24 h after a single bout of an aerobic exercise. The expression of oncostatin M (OSM), a member of the interleukin 6 family of cytokines, was also increased in muscle fibers immediately after the exercise. In addition, we determined that deficiency of OSM in mice inhibited the exercise-induced accumulation of M2 macrophages and neutrophils, whereas intramuscular injection of OSM increased these immune cells in skeletal muscles. Furthermore, the chemokines related to the recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils were induced in skeletal muscles after aerobic exercise, which were attenuated in OSM-deficient mice. Among them, CC chemokine ligand 2, CC chemokine ligand 7, and CXC chemokine ligand 1 were induced by OSM in skeletal muscles. Next, we analyzed the direct effects of OSM on the skeletal muscle macrophages, because the OSM receptor β subunit was expressed predominantly in macrophages in the skeletal muscle. OSM directly induced the expression of these chemokines and anti-inflammatory markers in the skeletal muscle macrophages. From these findings, we conclude that OSM is essential for aerobic exercise-induced accumulation of M2 macrophages and neutrophils in the skeletal muscle partly through the regulation of chemokine expression in macrophages.

Characteristics of the Protocols Used in Electrical Pulse Stimulation of Cultured Cells for Mimicking In Vivo Exercise: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232113446. [PMID: 36362233 PMCID: PMC9657802 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
While exercise benefits a wide spectrum of diseases and affects most tissues and organs, many aspects of its underlying mechanistic effects remain unsolved. In vitro exercise, mimicking neuronal signals leading to muscle contraction in vitro, can be a valuable tool to address this issue. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched EMBASE and PubMed (from database inception to 4 February 2022) for relevant studies assessing in vitro exercise using electrical pulse stimulation to mimic exercise. Meta-analyses of mean differences and meta-regression analyses were conducted. Of 985 reports identified, 41 were eligible for analysis. We observed variability among existing protocols of in vitro exercise and heterogeneity among protocols of the same type of exercise. Our analyses showed that AMPK, Akt, IL-6, and PGC1a levels and glucose uptake increased in stimulated compared to non-stimulated cells, following the patterns of in vivo exercise, and that these effects correlated with the duration of stimulation. We conclude that in vitro exercise follows motifs of exercise in humans, allowing biological parameters, such as the aforementioned, to be valuable tools in defining the types of in vitro exercise. It might be useful in transferring obtained knowledge to human research.

Ma N, Li G, Fu X. Protective role of activating transcription factor 3 against neuronal damage in rats with cerebral ischemia. Brain Behav 2022; 12:e2522. [PMID: 35263513 PMCID: PMC9014992 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The participation of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion injury has been reported. However, the precise mechanism of ATF3 in cerebral ischemia is little known so far. Thus, the study examines the mechanism of action underlying the protective role of ATF3 following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS The MCAO rats exhibited reduced body weight and motor ability, while increased neurological deficits and brain infarct volume. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the TLR4/NF-κB signaling. Moreover, ATF3 was the most differentially expressed gene in brain tissues of MCAO rats versus sham-operated rats, which could bind to CCL2. ATF3 was reduced in MCAO rats, and ATF3 inhibited CCL2 expression to mediate the TLR4/NF-κB signaling. Functionally, ATF3 inhibited neuronal apoptosis, microglia activation, and pro-inflammatory cytokine production to alleviate brain injury in rats. By contrast, CCL2 was overexpressed in neurons and microglia, and CCL2 mitigated the effects of ATF3 to exacerbate brain injury in rats. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that ATF3 repressed neuronal apoptosis and microglia activation caused by cerebral ischemia via targeting CCL2 and mediating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling.

Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:14557-14570.

Abstract
GRSF1 is a mitochondrial RNA-binding protein important for maintaining mitochondrial function. We found that GRSF1 is highly expressed in cultured skeletal myoblasts differentiating into myotubes. To understand the physiological function of GRSF1 in vivo, we generated mice in which GRSF1 was specifically ablated in skeletal muscle. The conditional knockout mice (Grsf1cKO) appeared normal until 7-9 months of age. Importantly, however, a reduction of muscle endurance compared to wild-type controls was observed in 16- to 18-month old Grsf1cKO mice. Transcriptomic analysis revealed more than 200 mRNAs differentially expressed in Grsf1cKO muscle at this age. Notably, mRNAs encoding proteins involved in mitochondrial function, inflammation, and ion transport, including Mgarp, Cxcl10, Nfkb2, and Sln mRNAs, were significantly elevated in aged Grsf1cKO muscle. Our findings suggest that GRSF1 deficiency exacerbates the functional decline of aged skeletal muscle, likely through multiple downstream effector proteins.

Abstract
PURPOSE Insulin resistant muscle is resistant to gene expression changes induced by acute exercise. This study was undertaken to identify transcription factors that differentially respond to exercise in insulin resistance. Candidate transcription factors were identified from analysis of 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTRs) of exercise responsive genes and from analysis of the 5'-UTRs of genes coding for proteins that differ in abundance in insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty participants took part in this study. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by an euglycemic clamp. Participants were matched for aerobic capacity and performed a single 48 min bout of exercise with sets at 70 and 90% of maximum heart rate. Muscle biopsies were obtained at resting conditions, 30 min and 24 h after exercise. Global proteomics analysis identified differentially abundant proteins in muscle. The 5'-UTRs of genes coding for significant proteins were subjected to transcription factor enrichment analysis to identify candidate transcription factors. Q-rt-PCR to determine expression of candidate transcription factors was performed on RNA from resting and post-exercise muscle biopsies; immunoblots quantified protein abundance. RESULTS Proteins involved in mitochondrial function, protein targeting and translation, and metabolism were among those significantly different between lean and obese groups. Transcription factor enrichment analysis of genes coding for these proteins revealed new candidate transcription factors to be evaluated along the previously identified factors. Q-rt-PCR analysis of RNA and immunoblot analysis from pre- and post-exercise muscle biopsies revealed several transcription and growth factors that had altered responses to exercise in insulin resistant participants. A significant increase (EGR3 and CTGF) and decrease (RELA and ATF2) in the mRNA expression of transcription and growth factors was found after exercise in the lean group, but not in the obese participants. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm findings of an association between insulin sensitivity and transcription factor mRNA response to exercise and show that obesity also may be a sufficient prerequisite for exercise resistance. Analysis of the muscle proteome together with determination of effects of exercise on expression of transcription factors suggests that abnormal responses of transcription factors to exercise may be responsible for differences in protein abundances in insulin resistant muscle.

Abstract
Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptations to resistance exercise remains elusive despite the significant biological and clinical relevance. We developed a novel voluntary mouse weightlifting model, which elicits squat-like activities against adjustable load during feeding, to investigate the resistance exercise-induced contractile and metabolic adaptations. RNAseq analysis revealed that a single bout of weightlifting induced significant transcriptome responses of genes that function in posttranslational modification, metabolism, and muscle differentiation in recruited skeletal muscles, which were confirmed by increased expression of fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14), Down syndrome critical region 1 (Dscr1) and Nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 3 (Nr4a3) genes. Long-term (8 weeks) voluntary weightlifting training resulted in significantly increases of muscle mass, protein synthesis (puromycin incorporation in SUnSET assay) and mTOR pathway protein expression (raptor, 4e-bp-1, and p70S6K proteins) along with enhanced muscle power (specific torque and contraction speed), but not endurance capacity, mitochondrial biogenesis, and fiber type transformation. Importantly, weightlifting training profound improved whole-body glucose clearance and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity along with enhanced autophagy (increased LC3 and LC3-II/I ratio, and decreased p62/Sqstm1). These data suggest that resistance training in mice promotes muscle adaptation and insulin sensitivity with simultaneous enhancement of autophagy and mTOR pathway.

Abstract
AIMS Reactive oxygen species (ROS) bidirectionally regulate insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. Insulin-induced ROS generation elevates insulin-regulated metabolic effects; however, chronic oxidative stress causes severe insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Resveratrol (RV), as a natural antioxidant, eliminates intracellular ROS. It's unclear that whether it has different roles in insulin signaling pathway in skeletal muscle. MAIN METHODS C57BL/6J mice and C2C12 myotubes were used to assess metabolic regulation effects of RV. Protein activation was detected using Immunofluorescence and Western Blot analysis. ROS were analyzed using confocal microscope and flow cytometry sorting (FACS). Intracellular reducing molecules were detected using an enzymatic method. Glucose uptake was measured using a fluorescent deoxyglucose analog (2-NBDG). KEY FINDINGS We found that RV attenuated insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation via elimination of insulin-induced ROS generation in skeletal muscle, suggesting that RV decreased activation of the insulin-induced AKT signaling. In skeletal muscle of insulin resistance, RV reduced oxidative stress, restored intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, and enhanced insulin-induced AKT activation and glucose absorption. These results suggested that RV ameliorated insulin resistance by change of redox levels in skeletal muscle. SIGNIFICANCE This study revealed bidirectional regulation effects of RV on insulin-stimulated metabolism in skeletal muscle through alternation of intracellular redox homeostasis, which might provide a guidance role for treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue. Individual myofibers that make up muscle tissue exhibit variation in their metabolic and contractile properties. Although biochemical and histological assays are available to study myofiber heterogeneity, efficient methods to analyze the whole transcriptome of individual myofibers are lacking. Here, we report on a single-myofiber RNA-sequencing (smfRNA-Seq) approach to analyze the whole transcriptome of individual myofibers by combining single-fiber isolation with Switching Mechanism at 5' end of RNA Template (SMART) technology. Using smfRNA-Seq, we first determined the genes that are expressed in the whole muscle, including in nonmyogenic cells. We also analyzed the differences in the transcriptome of myofibers from young and old mice to validate the effectiveness of this new method. Our results suggest that aging leads to significant changes in the expression of metabolic genes, such as Nos1, and structural genes, such as Myl1, in myofibers. We conclude that smfRNA-Seq is a powerful tool to study developmental, disease-related, and age-related changes in the gene expression profile of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Macrophages are one of the most versatile cells of the immune system that can express distinct subtypes and functions depending on the physiological challenge. After skeletal muscle damage, inflammatory macrophage subtypes aid muscles to regenerate and are implicated in physical training adaption. Based on this information, this study aimed to evaluate two classic mice macrophage subtypes and determine whether some inflammatory cytokines might be involved in the muscle adaption process after exercise. For this purpose, mice were exposed to an intermittent experimental protocol of downhill exercise (18 bouts of running, each bout 5 min with a 2-min rest interval, slope -16°) and were euthanized before [control (CTRL)] and 1, 2 (D2), and 3 (D3) days after exercise. After euthanasia, the triceps brachii was harvested and submitted to protein extraction, immunostaining, and mononuclear digestion procedures. The muscle size, macrophage accumulation, and cytokines were determined. We observed an increase in the Ly6C+ macrophage subtype (P ≤ 0.05) in D2 and D3 compared with CTRL, as well as a significant inverse correlation coefficient (-0.52; P ≤ 0.05) between Ly6C+ and Ly6C- macrophage subtypes. Moreover, we also observed elevation in several cytokines (IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-13) at D3, although not IL-4, which tended to decrease at this time point (P = 0.06). Downhill exercises preferentially recruited Ly6C+ macrophages with important proinflammatory cytokine elevation at D3. Moreover, despite the elevation of several cytokines involved with myogenesis, an increase in IL-6 and IL-13, which potentially involve muscle adaption training after acute exercise, was also observed.
