Association analysis of indel variants and gene expression identifies MDM4 as a novel locus for skeletal muscle hypertrophy and power athlete status. Exp Physiol 2024. [PMID: 39041487 DOI: 10.1113/ep091992] [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: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
Insertions and deletions (indels) are the second most common type of variation in the human genome. However, limited data on their associations with exercise-related phenotypes have been documented. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between 18,370 indel variants and power athlete status, followed by additional studies in 357,246 individuals. In the discovery phase, the D allele of the MDM4 gene rs35493922 I/D polymorphism was over-represented in power athletes compared with control subjects (P = 7.8 × 10-9) and endurance athletes (P = 0.0012). These findings were replicated in independent cohorts, showing a higher D allele frequency in power athletes compared with control subjects (P = 0.016) and endurance athletes (P = 0.031). Furthermore, the D allele was positively associated (P = 0.0013) with greater fat-free mass in the UK Biobank. MDM4 encodes a protein that inhibits the activity of p53, which induces muscle fibre atrophy. Accordingly, we found that MDM4 expression was significantly higher in the vastus lateralis of power athletes compared with endurance athletes (P = 0.0009) and was positively correlated with the percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibres (P = 0.0062) and the relative area occupied by fast-twitch muscle fibres (P = 0.0086). The association between MDM4 gene expression and an increased proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibres was confirmed in two additional cohorts. Finally, we found that the MDM4 DD genotype was associated with increased MDM4 gene expression in vastus lateralis and greater cross-sectional area of fast-twitch muscle fibres. In conclusion, MDM4 is suggested to be a potential regulator of muscle fibre specification and size, with its indel variant being associated with power athlete status. HIGHLIGHTS: What is the central question of this study? Which indel variants are functional and associated with sport- and exercise-related traits? What is the main finding and its importance? Out of 18,370 tested indels, the MDM4 gene rs35493922 I/D polymorphism was found to be the functional variant (affecting gene expression) and the most significant, with the deletion allele showing associations with power athlete status, fat-free mass and cross-sectional area of fast-twitch muscle fibres. Furthermore, the expression of MDM4 was positively correlated with the percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibres and the relative area occupied by fast-twitch muscle fibres.

Abstract
p66Shc is a widely expressed protein that governs a variety of cardiovascular pathologies by generating, and exacerbating, pro-apoptotic ROS signals. Here, we review p66Shc’s connections to reactive oxygen species, expression, localization, and discuss p66Shc signaling and mitochondrial functions. Emphasis is placed on recent p66Shc mitochondrial function discoveries including structure/function relationships, ROS identity and regulation, mechanistic insights, and how p66Shc-cyt c interactions can influence p66Shc mitochondrial function. Based on recent findings, a new p66Shc mitochondrial function model is also put forth wherein p66Shc acts as a rheostat that can promote or antagonize apoptosis. A discussion of how the revised p66Shc model fits previous findings in p66Shc-mediated cardiovascular pathology follows.

[PMID: 33732332 PMCID: PMC7903439 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.9790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNA (miR)-874-3p is a newly identified miRNA that is involved in several pathological processes, including cancer, myocardial infarction, bone formation and erectile dysfunction. However, the role of miR-874-3p in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis is not completely understood. The present study investigated the expression profile of miR-874-3p in PCOS by reverse transcription- quantitative PCR and the GC apoptosis by flow cytometry analysis. miR-874-3p expression was significantly upregulated in GCs isolated from patients with PCOS compared with patients without PCOS. In addition, miR-874-3p expression was positively correlated with GC apoptosis and testosterone levels in both patients with PCOS and patients without PCOS. Therefore, the present study also aimed to investigate the effects of miR-874-3p on testosterone-induced GC apoptosis. Compared with vehicle-treated GCs, miR-874-3p expression levels were significantly increased in testosterone-treated GCs, which was inhibited by the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide. GCs were transfected with either the miR-874-3p mimic or a miR-874-3p inhibitor. Compared with the control group, miR-874-3p mimic significantly enhanced GC apoptosis, whereas miR-874-3p inhibitor significantly decreased GC apoptosis. Moreover, histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity and HDAC1 expression levels were decreased in testosterone-treated GCs compared with vehicle-treated GCs. HDAC1 overexpression significantly attenuated the proapoptotic effects of testosterone. Additionally, miR-874-3p mimic and inhibitor significantly decreased and increased HDAC1 expression levels, respectively, compared with the control group. miR-874-3p inhibitor failed to attenuate HDAC1 overexpression-induced GC apoptosis. Furthermore, compared with the control group, testosterone treatment notably increased p53 expression and acetylation. Compared with the control group, western blotting analysis showed that miR-874-3p mimic notably increased p53 expression and acetylation, whereas miR-874-3p inhibitor markedly decreased p53 expression and acetylation. However, miR-874-3p inhibitor did not further decrease p53 acetylation and expression in cell overexpressing HDAC1. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that miR-874-3p was upregulated in PCOS and promoted testosterone-induced GC apoptosis by suppressing HDAC1-mediated p53 deacetylation. Therefore, the present study improved the current understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS and GC apoptosis.

Ther Hypothermia Temp Manag 2020; 11:77-87.

Abstract
Mild therapeutic hypothermia is protective against several cellular stresses, but the mechanisms underlying this protection are not completely resolved. In the present study, we used an in vitro model to investigate whether therapeutic hypothermia at 33°C applied following a peroxide-induced oxidative stress would protect PC12 cells. A 1-hour exposure to tert-butyl peroxide increased cell death measured 24 hours later. This cell death was dose-dependent in the range of 100-1000 μM tert-butyl peroxide with ∼50% cell death observed at 24 hours from 500 μM peroxide exposure. Cell survival/death was measured with an alamarBlue viability assay, and propidium iodide/Hoechst imaging for counts of living and dead cells. Therapeutic hypothermia at 33°C applied for 2 hours postperoxide exposure significantly increased cell survival measured 24 hours postperoxide-induced stress. This protection was present even when delayed hypothermia, 15 minutes after the peroxide washout, was applied. Addition of any of the three FDA-approved antioxidants (Tempol, EUK134, Edaravone at 100 μM) in combination with hypothermia improved cell survival. With the therapeutic hypothermia treatment, a significant downregulation of caspases-3 and -8 and tumor necrosis factor-α was observed at 3 and 24 hours poststress. Consistent with this, a cell-permeable pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK applied in combination with hypothermia significantly increased cell survival. Overall, these results suggest that the antioxidants quenching of reactive oxygen species likely works with hypothermia to reduce mitochondrial damage and/or apoptotic mechanisms. Further studies are required to confirm and extend these results to other cell types, including neuronal cells, and other forms of oxidative stress as well as to optimize the critical parameters of hypothermia treatment such as target temperature and duration.

Testosterone induces up-regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in murine C2C12 skeletal muscle cells accompanied by an increase of nuclear respiratory factor-1 and its downstream effectors. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2020; 500:110631. [PMID: 31676390 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2019.110631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
The reduction in muscle mass and strength with age, sarcopenia, is a prevalent condition among the elderly, linked to skeletal muscle dysfunction and cell apoptosis. We demonstrated that testosterone protects against H2O2-induced apoptosis in C2C12 muscle cells. Here, we analyzed the effect of testosterone on mitochondrial gene expression in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. We found that testosterone increases mRNA expression of genes encoded by mitochondrial DNA, such as NADPH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1), subunit 4 (ND4), cytochrome b (CytB), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (Cox1) and subunit 2 (Cox2) in C2C12. Additionally, the hormone induced the expression of the nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2 (Nrf-1 and Nrf-2), the mitochondrial transcription factors A (Tfam) and B2 (TFB2M), and the optic atrophy 1 (OPA1). The simultaneous treatment with testosterone and the androgen receptor antagonist, Flutamide, reduced these effects. H2O2-oxidative stress induced treatment, significantly decreased mitochondrial gene expression. Computational analysis revealed that mitochondrial DNA contains specific sequences, which the androgen receptor could recognize and bind, probably taking place a direct regulation of mitochondrial transcription by the receptor. These findings indicate that androgen plays an important role in the regulation of mitochondrial transcription and biogenesis in skeletal muscle.

Parthenolide regulates oxidative stress-induced mitophagy and suppresses apoptosis through p53 signaling pathway in C2C12 myoblasts. J Cell Biochem 2019; 120:15695-15708. [PMID: 31144365 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.28839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2018] [Revised: 01/20/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Muscle redox disturbances and oxidative stress have emerged as a common pathogenetic mechanism and potential therapeutic intervention in some muscle diseases. Parthenolide (PTL), a sesquiterpene lactone found in large amounts in the leaves of feverfew, possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-migraine, and anticancer properties. Although PTL was reported to alleviate cancer cachexia and improve skeletal muscle characteristics in a cancer cachexia model, its actions on oxidative stress-induced damage in C2C12 myoblasts have not been reported and the regulatory mechanisms have not yet been defined. In our study, PTL attenuated H2 O2 -induced growth inhibition and morphological changes. Furthermore, PTL exhibited scavenging activity against reactive oxygen species and protected C2C12 cells from apoptosis in response to H2 O2 . Meanwhile, PTL suppressed collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby contributing to normalizing H2 O2 -induced autophagy flux and mitophagy, correlating with inhibiting degradation of mitochondrial marker protein TIM23, the increase in LC3-II expression and the reduction of mitochondria DNA. Besides its protective effect on mitochondria, PTL also prevented H2 O2 -induced lysosomes damage in C2C12 cells. In addition, the phosphorylation of p53, cathepsin B, and Bax/Bcl-2 protein levels, and the translocation of Bax from the cytosol to mitochondria induced by H2 O2 in C2C12 cells was significantly reduced by PTL. In conclusion, PTL modulates oxidative stress-induced mitophagy and protects C2C12 myoblasts against apoptosis, suggesting a potential protective effect against oxidative stress-associated skeletal muscle diseases.

Abstract
In our aging society, age-related hearing loss (ARHL) has become a major socioeconomic issue. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be one of the main causal factors of age-related cochlear cell degeneration. We examined whether ROS-induced DNA damage response drives cochlear cell senescence and contributes to ARHL from the cellular up to the system level. Our results revealed that sublethal concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure initiated a DNA damage response illustrated by increased γH2AX and 53BP1 expression and foci formation mainly in sensory hair cells, together with increased levels of p-Chk2 and p53. Interestingly, postmitotic cochlear cells exposed to H2O2 displayed key hallmarks of senescent cells, including dramatically increased levels of p21, p38, and p-p38 expression, concomitant with decreased p19 and BubR1 expression and positive senescence-associated β-galactosidase labeling. Importantly, the synthetic superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetic EUK-207 attenuated H2O2-induced DNA damage and senescence phenotypes in cochlear cells in vitro. Furthermore, systemic administration of EUK-207 reduced age-related loss of hearing and hair cell degeneration in senescence-accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Altogether, these findings highlight that ROS-induced DNA damage responses drive cochlear cell senescence and contribute to accelerated ARHL. EUK-207 and likely other antioxidants with similar mechanisms of action could potentially postpone cochlear aging and prevent ARHL in humans.

Abstract
Background: p53 is a tumor suppressor protein involved in regulating a wide array of signaling pathways. The role of p53 in the cell is determined by the type of imposed oxidative stress, its intensity and duration. The last decade of research has unravelled a dual nature in the function of p53 in mediating the oxidative stress burden. However, this is dependent on the specific properties of the applied stress and thus requires further analysis. Methods: A systematic review was performed following an electronic search of Pubmed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. Articles published in the English language between January 1, 1990 and March 1, 2017 were identified and isolated based on the analysis of p53 in skeletal muscle in both animal and cell culture models. Results: Literature was categorized according to the modality of imposed oxidative stress including exercise, diet modification, exogenous oxidizing agents, tissue manipulation, irradiation, and hypoxia. With low to moderate levels of oxidative stress, p53 is involved in activating pathways that increase time for cell repair, such as cell cycle arrest and autophagy, to enhance cell survival. However, with greater levels of stress intensity and duration, such as with irradiation, hypoxia, and oxidizing agents, the role of p53 switches to facilitate increased cellular stress levels by initiating DNA fragmentation to induce apoptosis, thereby preventing aberrant cell proliferation. Conclusion: Current evidence confirms that p53 acts as a threshold regulator of cellular homeostasis. Therefore, within each modality, the intensity and duration are parameters of the oxidative stressor that must be analyzed to determine the role p53 plays in regulating signaling pathways to maintain cellular health and function in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
This review based on translational research predicts that the transcription factor p53 is the key effector of all anti-acne therapies. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and isotretinoin (13-cis retinoic acid) enhance p53 expression. Tetracyclines and macrolides via inhibiting p450 enzymes attenuate ATRA degradation, thereby increase p53. Benzoyl peroxide and hydrogen peroxide elicit oxidative stress, which upregulates p53. Azelaic acid leads to mitochondrial damage associated with increased release of reactive oxygen species inducing p53. p53 inhibits the expression of androgen receptor and IGF-1 receptor, and induces the expression of IGF binding protein 3. p53 induces FoxO1, FoxO3, p21 and sestrin 1, sestrin 2, and tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), the key inducer of isotretinoin-mediated sebocyte apoptosis explaining isotretinoin's sebum-suppressive effect. Anti-androgens attenuate the expression of miRNA-125b, a key negative regulator of p53. It can thus be concluded that all anti-acne therapies have a common mode of action, i.e., upregulation of the guardian of the genome p53. Immortalized p53-inactivated sebocyte cultures are unfortunate models for studying acne pathogenesis and treatment.

Abstract
The loss of muscle mass and strength with aging, sarcopenia, is a prevalent condition among the elderly, associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction and enhanced muscle cell apoptosis. We have previously demonstrated that testosterone protects against H2O2-induced apoptosis in C2C12 muscle cells, at different levels: morphological, biochemical and molecular. Since we have observed that testosterone reduces p-p53 and maintains the inactive state of FoxO3a transcription factor, induced by H2O2, we analyzed if the hormone was exerting its antiapoptotic effect at transcriptional level, by modulating pro and antiapoptotic genes associated to them. We detected the upregulation of the proapoptotic genes Puma, PERP and Bim, and MDM2 in response to H2O2 at different periods of the apoptotic process, and the downregulation of the antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2, whereas testosterone was able to modulate and counteract H2O2 effects. Furthermore, ERK and JNK kinases have been demonstrated to be linked to FoxO3a phosphorylation and thus its subcellular distribution. This work show some transcription level components, upstream of the classical apoptotic pathway, that are activated during oxidative stress and that are points where testosterone exerts its protective action against apoptosis, exposing some of the puzzle pieces of the intricate network that aged skeletal muscle apoptosis represents.

Abstract
Our understanding of the fundamental biology and identification of efficacious therapeutic targets in aortic valve stenosis has lagged far behind the fields of atherosclerosis and heart failure. In this review, we highlight the most clinically relevant problems facing men and women with fibrocalcific aortic valve stenosis, discuss the fundamental biology underlying valve calcification and fibrosis, and identify key molecular points of intersection with sex hormone signaling.
