[PMID: 38097057 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2023.104838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Hibernating Spermophilus dauricus experiences minor muscle atrophy, which is an attractive anti-disuse muscle atrophy model. Integrated metabolomics and proteomics analysis was performed on the hibernating S. dauricus during the pre-hibernation (PRE) stage, torpor (TOR) stage, interbout arousal (IBA) stage, and post-hibernation (POST) stage. Time course stage transition-based (TOR vs. PRE, IBA vs. TOR, POST vs. IBA) differential expression analysis was performed based on the R limma package. A total of 14 co-differential metabolites were detected. Among these, l-cystathionine, l-proline, ketoleucine, serine, and 1-Hydroxy-3,6,7-Trimethoxy-2, 8-Diprenylxanthone demonstrated the highest levels in the TOR stage; Beta-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, Dihydrozeatin, Pannaric acid, and Propionylcarnitine demonstrated the highest levels in the IBA stage; Adrenosterone, PS (18:0/14,15-EpETE), S-Carboxymethylcysteine, TxB2, and 3-Phenoxybenzylalcohol demonstrated the highest levels in the POST stage. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways annotation analysis indicated that biosynthesis of amino acids, ATP-binding cassette transporters, and cysteine and methionine metabolism were co-differential metabolism pathways during the different stages of hibernation. The stage-specific metabolism processes and integrated enzyme-centered metabolism networks in the different stages were also deciphered. Overall, our findings suggest that (1) the periodic change of proline, ketoleucine, and serine contributes to the hindlimb lean tissue preservation; and (2) key metabolites related to the biosynthesis of amino acids, ATP-binding cassette transporters, and cysteine and methionine metabolism may be associated with muscle atrophy resistance. In conclusion, our co-differential metabolites, co-differential metabolism pathways, stage-specific metabolism pathways, and integrated enzyme-centered metabolism networks are informative for biologists to generate hypotheses for functional analyses to perturb disuse-induced muscle atrophy.

Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus paracasei alleviate sarcopenia and cognitive impairment in aged mice by regulating gut microbiota-mediated AKT, NF-κB, and FOXO3a signaling pathways. Immun Ageing 2023; 20:56. [PMID: 37872562 PMCID: PMC10591382 DOI: 10.1186/s12979-023-00381-5] [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: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
Sarcopenia is closely associated with gut dysbiosis. Probiotics alleviate gut dysbiosis. Therefore, we selected probiotics Lactobacillus paracasei P62 (Lp) and Bifidobacterium bifidum P61 (Bb), which suppressed muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF1) expression and NF-κB activation in C2C12 cells, and examined their effects on muscle mass loss and dysfunction in aged mice. Oral administration of Lp, Bb, or their mix (LB) increased grip strength and treadmill running distance and time. They significantly increased muscle weight in aged mice. They also increased AKT activation, PGC1α, SIRT1, and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression, MyHC-positive cell population, and cell size in the gastrocnemius (GA) muscle, while FOXO3a and NF-κB activation, MuRF1, muscle atrophy F-box, and p16 expression, and NF-κB+CD11c+ cell population decreased. Furthermore, they reduced cognitive impairment-like behavior, IL-6 expression, FOXO3a activation, and NF-κB-positive cell population in the hippocampus, GA, and colon, while hippocampal brain-derived neurotropic factor expression increased. They shifted gut microbiota composition in aged mice: they increased Akkermansiaceae and Bacteroidaceae populations, which were positively correlated with total muscle weight and MyHC expression, and decreased Odoribacteraceae and Deferribacteriaceae populations, which were positively correlated with MuRF1 and IL-6 expression. LB alleviated sarcopenia- and cognitive impairment-like symptoms more potently than Lp or Bb alone. Based on these findings, probiotics, particularly Lp, Bb, and LB, can alleviate aging-dependent sarcopenia and cognitive impairment by regulating gut microbiota-mediated AKT, NF-κB, and/or FOXO3a signaling pathways.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:6252-6262. [PMID: 37160715 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The dangerous inducers of muscle atrophy are inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress, and cachexia, etc. β-Glucan, an important food derived active ingredient, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects, however, its effects on regulating myoblast differentiation and protein degradation are unclear. This study is aimed to investigate the mechanism of oat β-glucan on alleviating muscle atrophy. RESULTS The results showed that oat β-glucan treatment reversed tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced abnormal myoblast differentiation and reduced muscle atrophy related MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1 protein expression. The similar phenomenon was observed after using MCC950 (NLRP3 specific inhibitor) or AS1842856 (FoxO1 specific inhibitor) to suppress NLRP3 and FoxO1 expression, respectively. Exposure to β-glucan or AS1842856 also inhibited TNF-α induced the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway by inactivating FoxO1, and subsequently suppressed the expression of NLRP3. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that oat β-glucan exerts essential roles in promoting myoblast differentiation and alleviating muscle atrophy via inactivating FoxO1 and NLRP3 inflammasome signal pathway. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The analysis of in vitro cultures of human adult muscle stem cells obtained from biopsies delineates the potential of skeletal muscles and may help to understand altered muscle morphology in patients. In these analyses, the fusion index is a commonly used quantitative metric to assess the myogenic potency of the muscle stem cells. Since the fusion index only partly describes myogenic potency, we developed the Myotube Analyzer tool, which combines the definition of the fusion index with extra features of myonuclei and myotubes obtained from satellite cell cultures. RESULTS The software contains image adjustment and mask editing functions for preprocessing and semi-automatic segmentation, while other functions can be used to determine the features of nuclei and myotubes. The fusion index and a set of five novel parameters were tested for reliability and validity in a comparison between satellite cell cultures from children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children. These novel parameters quantified extra nucleus and myotube properties and can be used to describe nucleus clustering and myotube shape. Two analyzers who were trained in cell culture defined all parameters using the Myotube Analyzer app. Out of the six parameters, five had good reliability reflected by good intra-class correlation coefficients (> 0.75). Children with cerebral palsy were significantly different from the typically developing children (p < 0.05) for five parameters, and for three of the six parameters, these differences exceeded the minimal detectable differences. CONCLUSIONS The Myotube Analyzer can be used for the analysis of fixed differentiated myoblast cultures with nuclear and MyHC staining. The app can calculate the fusion index, an already existing parameter, but also provides multiple new parameters to comprehensively describe myogenic potential in its output. The raw data used to determine these parameters are also available in the output. The parameters calculated by the tool can be used to detect differences between cultures from children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children. Since the program is open source, users can customize it to fit their own analysis requirements.
