Concerted regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism and contractile properties by the orphan nuclear receptor Nr2f6. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:1335-1347. [PMID: 38682559 PMCID: PMC11294040 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The maintenance of skeletal muscle plasticity upon changes in the environment, nutrient supply, and exercise depends on regulatory mechanisms that couple structural and metabolic adaptations. The mechanisms that interconnect both processes at the transcriptional level remain underexplored. Nr2f6, a nuclear receptor, regulates metabolism and cell differentiation in peripheral tissues. However, its role in the skeletal muscle is still elusive. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of Nr2f6 modulation on muscle biology in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Global RNA-seq was performed in Nr2f6 knockdown C2C12 myocytes (N = 4-5). Molecular and metabolic assays and proliferation experiments were performed using stable Nr2f6 knockdown and Nr2f6 overexpression C2C12 cell lines (N = 3-6). Nr2f6 content was evaluated in lipid overload models in vitro and in vivo (N = 3-6). In vivo experiments included Nr2f6 overexpression in mouse tibialis anterior muscle, followed by gene array transcriptomics and molecular assays (N = 4), ex vivo contractility experiments (N = 5), and histological analysis (N = 7). The conservation of Nr2f6 depletion effects was confirmed in primary skeletal muscle cells of humans and mice. RESULTS Nr2f6 knockdown upregulated genes associated with muscle differentiation, metabolism, and contraction, while cell cycle-related genes were downregulated. In human skeletal muscle cells, Nr2f6 knockdown significantly increased the expression of myosin heavy chain genes (two-fold to three-fold) and siRNA-mediated depletion of Nr2f6 increased maximal C2C12 myocyte's lipid oxidative capacity by 75% and protected against lipid-induced cell death. Nr2f6 content decreased by 40% in lipid-overloaded myotubes and by 50% in the skeletal muscle of mice fed a high-fat diet. Nr2f6 overexpression in mice resulted in an atrophic and hypoplastic state, characterized by a significant reduction in muscle mass (15%) and myofibre content (18%), followed by an impairment (50%) in force production. These functional phenotypes were accompanied by the establishment of an inflammation-like molecular signature and a decrease in the expression of genes involved in muscle contractility and oxidative metabolism, which was associated with the repression of the uncoupling protein 3 (20%) and PGC-1α (30%) promoters activity following Nr2f6 overexpression in vitro. Additionally, Nr2f6 regulated core components of the cell division machinery, effectively decoupling muscle cell proliferation from differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal a novel role for Nr2f6 as a molecular transducer that plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between skeletal muscle contractile function and oxidative capacity. These results have significant implications for the development of potential therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases and myopathies.

Delta-like noncanonical notch ligand 2 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of sheep myoblasts through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. J Cell Physiol 2024:e31385. [PMID: 39030845 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31385] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
This study delved into the role of delta-like noncanonical notch ligand 2 (DLK2) in the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of myoblasts, as well as its interaction with the classical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in regulating myoblast function. The research revealed that upregulation of DLK2 in myoblasts during the proliferation phase enhanced myoblast proliferation, facilitated cell cycle progression, and reduced apoptosis. Conversely, downregulation of DLK2 expression using siRNA during the differentiation phase promoted myoblast hypertrophy and fusion, suppressed the expression of muscle fiber degradation factors, and expedited the differentiation process. DLK2 regulates myoblasts function by influencing the expression of various factors associated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, including CTNNB1, FZD1, FZD6, RSPO1, RSPO4, WNT4, WNT5A, and adenomatous polyposis coli. In essence, DLK2, with the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, plays a crucial regulatory role in the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of myoblasts.

Abstract
1. The Wulong goose is a Chinese breed and a source of high-quality meat and eggs. A characteristic of the Wulong goose is that a proportion of the birds do not have eyelids, known as the Huoyon trait.2. Wulong geese exhibiting the Huoyan trait at embryonic stages of 9 days (E9), 12 days (E12) and 14 days (E14) were selected alongside those with normal eyelids for comprehensive transcriptome sequencing. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) and functional enrichment analyses were performed and finally, eight DEG were chosen to verify the accuracy of qPCR sequencing.3. Overall, 466, 962 and 550 DEG were obtained from the three control groups, D9 vs. N9, D12 vs. N12 and D14 vs. N14, respectively, by differential analysis (p < 0.05). CDKN1C, CRH, CROCC and TYSND1 were significantly expressed in the three groups. Enrichment analysis revealed the enrichment of CROCC and TYSND1 in pathways of cell cycle process, endocytosis, microtubule-based process, microtubule organising centre organisation, protein processing and protein maturation. CDKN1C and CRH were enriched in the cell cycle and cAMP signalling pathway.4. Some collagen family genes were detected among the DEGs, including COL3A1, COL4A5, COL4A2 and COL4A1. FREM1 and FREM2 genes were detected in both Huoyan and normal eyelids. There was a significant difference (p < 0.01) in FREM1 expression between ED9 and ED14 in female embryos, but this difference was not observed in male embryos.

Abstract
Mammalian skeletal myogenesis is a complex process that allows precise control of myogenic cells' proliferation, differentiation, and fusion to form multinucleated, contractile, and functional muscle fibers. Typically, myogenic progenitors continue growth and division until acquiring a differentiated state, which then permanently leaves the cell cycle and enters terminal differentiation. These processes have been intensively studied using the skeletal muscle developing models in vitro and in vivo, uncovering a complex cellular intrinsic network during mammalian skeletal myogenesis containing transcription factors, translation factors, extracellular matrix, metabolites, and mechano-sensors. Examining the events and how they are knitted together will better understand skeletal myogenesis's molecular basis. This review describes various regulatory mechanisms and recent advances in myogenic cell proliferation and differentiation during mammalian skeletal myogenesis. We focus on significant cell cycle regulators, myogenic factors, and chromatin regulators impacting the coordination of the cell proliferation versus differentiation decision, which will better clarify the complex signaling underlying skeletal myogenesis.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle possesses a resident, multipotent stem cell population that is essential for its repair and maintenance throughout life. Here I highlight the role of this stem cell population in muscle repair and regeneration and review the genetic control of the process; the mechanistic steps of activation, migration, recognition, adhesion, and fusion of these cells; and discuss the novel recognition of the membrane signaling that coordinates myogenic cell-cell fusion, as well as the identification of a two-part fusogen system that facilitates it.

Abstract
Myogenic cell differentiation is modulated by multiple regulatory factors, such as myogenin, p21, and cyclin D3 during myogenesis in vitro. It is also recognized that myogenin and p21 play important roles in regulating muscle satellite cell (SC) differentiation during overload-induced muscle hypertrophy in vivo. However, the expression patterns and functional role of cyclin D3 in the progress of muscle hypertrophy remain unclear. Thus, the present study investigated cyclin D3 expression in skeletal muscles during early-stage functional overload. Plantaris muscles were exposed to functional overload due to ablation of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. As a result, cyclin D3 expression was detected in the nuclei of SCs but not in myonuclei on day 1 after surgery. Cyclin D3 expression, after functional overload, gradually increased, reaching a maximum on day 7 along with myogenin expression. Moreover, in response to the functional overload, cyclin D3 was expressed simultaneously with myogenin and p21 in SC nuclei. Therefore, the present study suggests that cyclin D3 with myogenin and p21 may interactively regulate SC differentiation during early-stage functional overload.

Abstract
Our previous study with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted screening found that diosmin, a natural flavonoid extracted from citrus, may affect myoblast proliferation and differentiation. At present, few studies have been conducted regarding the biological function of diosmin in muscle cells. Here, using molecular biological techniques, we found that diosmin elevated the proliferation ability of C2C12 myoblasts via activating the Akt/FOXO1 pathway to promote FOXO1 nuclear export, thus repressing p27 protein expression, increasing CDK2, CDK4, and cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 protein expression and accelerating cell cycle transformation, which contributed to myogenesis. Moreover, diosmin suppressed differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts by delaying the terminal exit of the cell cycle in early differentiated myoblasts and inhibiting autophagic flux in mature myotubes. Furthermore, diosmin promoted myogenesis by activating the Akt/FOXO1 pathway to facilitate myoblast proliferation, which had a positive biological effect on the repair of muscle injury. This study revealed the effect and mechanism of diosmin on skeletal muscle cells and simultaneously provided a new candidate drug for the treatment of myopathy.

Abstract
Introduction Porcine congenital splay leg syndrome (PCS) is a major birth defect in piglets, resulting in lameness and high mortality rates. The multifactorial pathogenesis of PSC is not well understood but includes a polygenic inheritance. Methods Here, in addition to morphological investigations, we characterized the expression of myogenic genes and functional (proliferation and differentiation) properties of myogenic precursor/satellite cells (SATCs) in 1 day-old PCS piglets, non-affected littermates (LCs), and piglets from PCS-free healthy litters (HCs). In addition, PCS phenotypes were related to the SNP Homer1_rs325197091 within the Homer1 locus, which has been identified as a potential hereditary cause of PCS. Results and discussion Samples from musculus semitendinosus (ST) of PCS piglets had a higher proportion of type II fibers, reflecting myofiber immaturity. In addition, myofiber atrophy, a lower number of myonuclei per fiber (ST), and a higher apoptotic activity (in ST and longissimus dorsi muscle; LD) were found in the PCS group. A higher proportion of cycling committed myoblasts (Pax7+/Ki67+ cells) occurred in samples from PCS-affected piglets, and on the other hand, the mRNA expression of genes involved in differentiation (muscle differentiation 1; MyoD, myogenin; MyoG) was repressed compared with HCs. Cultured SATCs from PCS-affected animals showed a temporal shift in peak expression of Pax7, MyoD, and MyoG toward days 3 and 4 of their 7 days differentiation regime. In vitro experiments with isolated SATCs confirmed the lower differentiation potential and the delayed progression of the myogenic processes in cells from piglets with PCS phenotype. In addition, Pax7 and desmin were differently expressed in Homer1_rs325197091 genotype variants (GG, GA, and AA). Both genes showed the lowest expression in the homozygous AA-variant, which was most frequently found in PCS-affected animals. The homozygous AA-variant was also associated with lower expression of the truncated Homer1-subtype 205. Thus, we hypothesize that in PCS, the balance between Homer1 proteins and its signaling functions is changed in a way detrimental to the myogenic differentiation program. Our results demonstrated direct negative effects of the Homer1 AA genotype on Pax7 expression, but the exact mode of action still needs to be elucidated.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle myogenesis represents one of the most intensively and extensively examined systems of cell differentiation, tissue formation, and regeneration. Muscle regeneration provides an in vivo model system of postnatal myogenesis. It comprises multiple steps including muscle stem cell (or satellite cell) quiescence, activation, migration, myogenic determination, myoblast proliferation, myocyte differentiation, myofiber maturation, and hypertrophy. A variety of extracellular signaling and subsequent intracellular signal transduction pathways or networks govern the individual steps of postnatal myogenesis. Among them, MAPK pathways (the ERK, JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK5 pathways) and PI3K-Akt signaling regulate multiple steps of myogenesis. Ca2+, cytokine, and Wnt signaling also participate in several myogenesis steps. These signaling pathways often control cell cycle regulatory proteins or the muscle-specific MyoD family and the MEF2 family of transcription factors. This article comprehensively reviews molecular mechanisms of the individual steps of postnatal skeletal muscle myogenesis by focusing on signal transduction pathways or networks. Nevertheless, no or only a partial signaling molecules or pathways have been identified in some responses during myogenesis. The elucidation of these unidentified signaling molecules and pathways leads to an extensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of myogenesis.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy often occurs in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and leads to an increase in physical disability and insulin resistance. However, there are very few studies that have investigated potential natural products used for this condition. In this study, we demonstrated that FYGL (Fudan-Yueyang-G. lucidum), a proteoglycan extracted from Ganoderma lucidum, ameliorated muscle atrophy in rat and mouse models of diabetes. Histopathological analysis of muscle revealed that oral administration of FYGL significantly prevented reduction of the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers and overexpression of muscle atrophic factors in diabetic rats and mice. Muscle RNA-seq analysis in vivo indicated that FYGL regulated genes related to myogenesis, muscle atrophy, and oxidative phosphorylation. Also, FYGL activated AMPK in vivo. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanisms were studied in palmitate-induced C2C12 muscle cells using immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting, which revealed that FYGL inhibited muscle atrophy by stimulating ATP production and activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway, thus promoting oxidative metabolism. This result rationalized the in vivo findings. These results suggest FYGL as a promising functional food ingredient for the prevention of T2D-induced muscle atrophy.

Abstract
A gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass and function is closely tied to increased mortality and disease risk during organismal aging. Exercise training is the most effective way to enhance muscle health, but the adaptive response to exercise as well as muscle repair potential is blunted in older individuals. Numerous mechanisms contribute to the loss of muscle mass and plasticity as aging progresses. An emerging body of recent evidence implicates an accumulation of senescent ("zombie") cells in muscle as a contributing factor to the aging phenotype. Senescent cells cannot divide but can release inflammatory factors and create an unfavorable environment for homeostasis and adaptation. On balance, some evidence indicates that cells with senescent characteristics can be beneficial for the muscle adaptive process, specifically at younger ages. Emerging evidence also suggests that multinuclear muscle fibers could become senescent. In this review, we summarize current literature on the prevalence of senescent cells in skeletal muscle and highlight the consequences of senescent cell removal on muscle mass, function, and adaptability. We examine key limitations in the field of senescence specifically in skeletal muscle and identify areas of research that require future investigation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY There is evidence to suggest that senescent "zombie" cells may or may not accrue in aging skeletal muscle. When muscle is perturbed regardless of age, senescent-like cells do appear, and the benefits of removing them could be age-dependent. More work is needed to determine the magnitude of accumulation and source of senescent cells in muscle. Regardless, pharmacological senolytic treatment of aged muscle is beneficial for adaptation.

Abstract
Regeneration of the mammalian adult skeletal muscle is a well-orchestrated process regulated by multiple proteins and signalling pathways. Cytokines constitute a major class of regulators of skeletal myogenesis. It is well established that infiltrating immune cells at the site of muscle injury secrete cytokines, which play critical roles in the myofibre repair and regeneration process. In the past 10-15 years, skeletal muscle itself has emerged as a prolific producer of cytokines. Much attention in the field has been focused on the endocrine effects of muscle-secreted cytokines (myokines) on metabolic regulation. However, ample evidence suggests that muscle-derived cytokines also regulate myogenic differentiation and muscle regeneration in an autocrine manner. In this review, we survey cytokines that meet two criteria: (a) evidence of expression by muscle cells; (b) evidence demonstrating a myogenic function. Dozens of cytokines representing several major classes make up this group, and together they regulate all steps of the myogenic process. How such a large array of cytokines coordinate their signalling to form a regulatory network is a fascinating, pressing question. Functional studies that can distinguish the source of the cytokines in vivo are also much needed in order to facilitate exploration of their full therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are indispensable for muscle regeneration. A multitude of extracellular stimuli direct MuSC fate decisions from quiescent progenitors to differentiated myocytes. The activity of these signals is modulated by coreceptors such as syndecan-3 (SDC3). We investigated the global landscape of SDC3-mediated regulation of myogenesis using a phosphoproteomics approach which revealed, with the precision level of individual phosphosites, the large-scale extent of SDC3-mediated regulation of signal transduction in MuSCs. We then focused on INSR/AKT/mTOR as a key pathway regulated by SDC3 during myogenesis and mechanistically dissected SDC3-mediated inhibition of insulin receptor signaling in MuSCs. SDC3 interacts with INSR ultimately limiting signal transduction via AKT/mTOR. Both knockdown of INSR and inhibition of AKT rescue Sdc3-/- MuSC differentiation to wild type levels. Since SDC3 is rapidly downregulated at the onset of differentiation, our study suggests that SDC3 acts a timekeeper to restrain proliferating MuSC response and prevent premature differentiation.

Abstract
The ability of skeletal muscle to regenerate from injury is crucial for locomotion, metabolic health, and quality of life. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC1A) is a transcriptional coactivator required for mitochondrial biogenesis. Increased mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with improved muscle cell differentiation, however PGC1A's role in skeletal muscle regeneration following damage requires further investigation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of skeletal muscle-specific PGC1A overexpression during regeneration following damage. 22 C57BL/6J (WT) and 26 PGC1A muscle transgenic (A1) mice were injected with either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, uninjured control) or Bupivacaine (MAR, injured) into their tibialis anterior (TA) muscle to induce skeletal muscle damage. TA muscles were extracted 3- or 28-days post-injury and analyzed for markers of regenerative myogenesis and protein turnover. Pgc1a mRNA was ∼10–20 fold greater in A1 mice. Markers of protein synthesis, AKT and 4EBP1, displayed decreases in A1 mice compared to WT at both timepoints indicating a decreased protein synthetic response. Myod mRNA was ∼75% lower compared to WT 3 days post-injection. WT mice exhibited decreased cross-sectional area of the TA muscle at 28 days post-injection with bupivacaine compared to all other groups. PGC1A overexpression modifies the myogenic response during regeneration.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a childhood sarcoma composed of myoblast-like cells, which suggests a defect in terminal skeletal muscle differentiation. To explore potential defects in the differentiation program, we searched for mRNA splicing variants in genes encoding transcription factors driving skeletal muscle lineage commitment and differentiation. We studied two RMS cases and identified altered splicing resulting in "skipping" the second of three exons in MYOD1. RNA-Seq data from 42 tumors and additional RMS cell lines revealed exon 2 skipping in both MYOD1 and MYF5 but not in MYF6 or MYOG. Complementary molecular analysis of MYOD1 mRNA found evidence for exon skipping in 5 additional RMS cases. Functional studies showed that so-called MYODΔEx2 protein failed to robustly induce muscle-specific genes, and its ectopic expression conferred a selective advantage in cultured fibroblasts and an RMS xenograft. In summary, we present previously unrecognized exon skipping within MYOD1 and MYF5 in RMS, and we propose that alternative splicing can represent a mechanism to alter the function of these two transcription factors in RMS.

Abstract
After extensive proliferation during development, the adult skeletal muscle cells remain outside the cell cycle, either as post-mitotic myofibers or as quiescent muscle stem cells (MuSCs). Despite its terminally differentiated state, adult skeletal muscle has a remarkable regeneration potential, driven by MuSCs. Upon injury, MuSC quiescence is reversed to support tissue growth and repair and it is re-established after the completion of muscle regeneration. The distinct cell cycle states and transitions observed in the different myogenic populations are orchestrated by elements of the cell cycle machinery. This consists of i) complexes of cyclins and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) that ensure cell cycle progression and ii) their negative regulators, the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitors (CDKIs). In this review we discuss the roles of these factors in developmental and adult myogenesis, with a focus on CDKIs that have emerging roles in stem cell functions.

Abstract
Despite the significant progress in bioprinting for skeletal muscle tissue engineering, new stimuli-responsive bioinks to boost the myogenesis process are highly desirable. In this work, we developed a printable alginate/Pluronic-based bioink including piezoelectric barium titanate nanoparticles (nominal diameter: ∼60 nm) for the 3D bioprinting of muscle cell-laden hydrogels. The aim was to investigate the effects of the combination of piezoelectric nanoparticles with ultrasound stimulation on early myogenic differentiation of the printed structures. After the characterization of nanoparticles and bioinks, viability tests were carried out to investigate three nanoparticle concentrations (100, 250, and 500 μg mL-1) within the printed structures. An excellent cytocompatibility was confirmed for nanoparticle concentrations up to 250 μg mL-1. TEM imaging demonstrated the internalization of BTNPs in intracellular vesicles. The combination of piezoelectric nanoparticles and ultrasound stimulation upregulated the expression of MYOD1, MYOG, and MYH2 and enhanced cell aggregation, which is a crucial step for myoblast fusion, and the presence of MYOG in the nuclei. These results suggest that the direct piezoelectric effect induced by ultrasound on the internalized piezoelectric nanoparticles boosts myogenesis in its early phases.

Abstract
The cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) is an important nuclear transcription factor in eukaryotes. To explore the potential role of CREB1 on Qinchuan bovine skeletal myoblasts, we investigated the function of CREB1 on proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we found that CREB1 promoted cell proliferation by promoting DNA synthesis in S phase and cell division in G2 phase and promoted myogenic differentiation process in bovine myoblasts. Through dual luciferase experiments, we found that CREB1 can bind to the proximal promoter regions of CCNA2 and MyoG, indicating that CREB1 can play a positive regulatory role in the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts by mediating the transcription of CCNA2 and MyoG. In addition, through downstream target gene analysis and transcriptome sequencing, we found that CREB1 plays a role in cell proliferation, myogenic differentiation, skeletal muscle repair and other related pathways.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that senescent cells accumulate with aging. They are characterized by replicative arrest and the release of a myriad of factors commonly called the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Despite the replicative cell cycle arrest, these cells are metabolically active and functional. The release of SASP factors is mostly thought to cause tissue dysfunction and to induce senescence in surrounding cells. As major markers for aging and senescence, p16INK4, p14ARF/p19ARF, and p21 are established. Importantly, senescence is also implicated in development, cancer, and tissue homeostasis. While many markers of senescence have been identified, none are able to unambiguously identify all senescent cells. However, increased levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p16INK4A and p21 are often used to identify cells with senescence-associated phenotypes. We review here the knowledge of senescence, p16INK4A, p14ARF/p19ARF, and p21 in embryonic and postnatal development and potential functions in pathophysiology and homeostasis. The establishment of senolytic therapies with the ultimate goal to improve healthy aging requires care and detailed knowledge about the involvement of senescence and senescence-associated proteins in developmental processes and homeostatic mechanism. The review contributes to these topics, summarizes open questions, and provides some directions for future research.

Abstract
Myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) are pivotal transcription factors in myogenic differentiation. MyoD commits cells to the skeletal muscle lineage by inducing myogenic genes through recruitment of chromatin remodelers to its target loci. This study showed that Actin-related protein 5 (Arp5) acts as an inhibitory regulator of MyoD and MyoG by binding to their cysteine-rich (CR) region, which overlaps with the region essential for their epigenetic functions. Arp5 expression was faint in skeletal muscle tissues. Excessive Arp5 in mouse hind limbs caused skeletal muscle fiber atrophy. Further, Arp5 overexpression in myoblasts inhibited myotube formation by diminishing myogenic gene expression, whereas Arp5 depletion augmented myogenic gene expression. Arp5 disturbed MyoD-mediated chromatin remodeling through competition with the three-amino-acid-loop-extension-class homeodomain transcription factors the Pbx1–Meis1 heterodimer for binding to the CR region. This antimyogenic function was independent of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex, although Arp5 is an important component of that. In rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells, Arp5 expression was significantly higher than in normal myoblasts and skeletal muscle tissue, probably contributing to MyoD and MyoG activity dysregulation. Arp5 depletion in RMS partially restored myogenic properties while inhibiting tumorigenic properties. Thus, Arp5 is a novel modulator of MRFs in skeletal muscle differentiation.

Abstract
Myoblast differentiation is an ordered multistep process that includes withdrawal from the cell cycle, elongation, and fusion to form multinucleated myotubes. Id3, a member of the Id family, plays a crucial role in cell cycle exit and differentiation. However, in muscle cells after differentiation induction, the detailed mechanisms that diminish Id3 function and cause the cells to withdraw from the cell cycle are unknown. Induction of myoblast differentiation resulted in decreased expression of Id3 and increased expression of XBP1u, and XBP1u accelerated proteasomal degradation of Id3 in C2C12 cells. The expression levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21, p27, and p57 were not increased after differentiation induction of XBP1-knockdown C2C12 cells. Moreover, knockdown of Id3 rescued myogenic differentiation of XBP1-knockdown C2C12 cells. Taken together, these findings provide evidence that XBP1u regulates cell cycle exit after myogenic differentiation induction through interactions with Id3. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the involvement of XBP1u in myoblast differentiation. These results indicate that XBP1u may act as a “regulator” of myoblast differentiation under various physiological conditions.

Abstract
Terminal differentiation is an ill-defined, insufficiently characterized, nonproliferation state. Although it has been classically deemed irreversible, it is now clear that at least several terminally differentiated (TD) cell types can be brought back into the cell cycle. We are striving to uncover the molecular bases of terminal differentiation, whose fundamental understanding is a goal in itself. In addition, the field has sought to acquire the ability to make TD cells proliferate. Attaining this end would probe the very molecular mechanisms we are trying to understand. Equally important, it would be invaluable in regenerative medicine, for tissues depending on TD cells and devoid of significant self-repair capabilities. The skeletal muscle has long been used as a model system to investigate the molecular foundations of terminal differentiation. Here, we summarize more than 50 years of studies in this field.

Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited neuromuscular disease caused by expanded CTG repeats in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the DMPK gene. The myogenesis process is defective in DM1, which is closely associated with progressive muscle weakness and wasting. Despite many proposed explanations for the myogenesis defects in DM1, the underlying mechanism and the involvement of the extracellular microenvironment remained unknown. Here, we constructed a DM1 myoblast cell model and reproduced the myogenesis defects. By RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we discovered that periostin (Postn) was the most significantly upregulated gene in DM1 myogenesis compared with normal controls. This difference in Postn was confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. Moreover, Postn was found to be significantly upregulated in skeletal muscle and myoblasts of DM1 patients. Next, we knocked down Postn using a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in DM1 myoblast cells and found that the myogenesis defects in the DM1 group were successfully rescued, as evidenced by increases in the myotube area, the fusion index, and the expression of myogenesis regulatory genes. Similarly, Postn knockdown in normal myoblast cells enhanced myogenesis. As POSTN is a secreted protein, we treated the DM1 myoblast cells with a POSTN-neutralizing antibody and found that DM1 myogenesis defects were successfully rescued by POSTN neutralization. We also tested the myogenic ability of myoblasts in the skeletal muscle injury mouse model and found that Postn knockdown improved the myogenic ability of DM1 myoblasts. The activity of the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway was upregulated during DM1 myogenesis but repressed when inhibiting Postn with a Postn shRNA or a POSTN-neutralizing antibody, which suggested that the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway might mediate the function of Postn in DM1 myogenesis. These results suggest that Postn is a potential therapeutical target for the treatment of myogenesis defects in DM1.

Abstract
Background The skeletal muscle reconstruction occurs thanks to unipotent stem cells, i.e., satellite cells. The satellite cells remain quiescent and localized between myofiber sarcolemma and basal lamina. They are activated in response to muscle injury, proliferate, differentiate into myoblasts, and recreate myofibers. The stem and progenitor cells support skeletal muscle regeneration, which could be disturbed by extensive damage, sarcopenia, cachexia, or genetic diseases like dystrophy. Many lines of evidence showed that the level of oxygen regulates the course of cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods In the present study, we analyzed hypoxia impact on human and pig bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) and mouse myoblast proliferation, differentiation, and fusion. Moreover, the influence of the transplantation of human bone marrow-derived MSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions on skeletal muscle regeneration was studied. Results We showed that bone marrow-derived MSCs increased VEGF expression and improved myogenesis under hypoxic conditions in vitro. Transplantation of hypoxia preconditioned bone marrow-derived MSCs into injured muscles resulted in the improved cell engraftment and formation of new vessels. Conclusions We suggested that SDF-1 and VEGF secreted by hypoxia preconditioned bone marrow-derived MSCs played an essential role in cell engraftment and angiogenesis. Importantly, hypoxia preconditioned bone marrow-derived MSCs more efficiently engrafted injured muscles; however, they did not undergo myogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Cell proliferation and quiescence are intimately coordinated during metazoan development. Here, we adapt a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) sensor to uncouple these key events of the cell cycle in Caenorhabditis elegans and zebrafish through live-cell imaging. The CDK sensor consists of a fluorescently tagged CDK substrate that steadily translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in response to increasing CDK activity and consequent sensor phosphorylation. We show that the CDK sensor can distinguish cycling cells in G1 from quiescent cells in G0, revealing a possible commitment point and a cryptic stochasticity in an otherwise invariant C. elegans cell lineage. Finally, we derive a predictive model of future proliferation behavior in C. elegans based on a snapshot of CDK activity in newly born cells. Thus, we introduce a live-cell imaging tool to facilitate in vivo studies of cell-cycle control in a wide-range of developmental contexts.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle satellite cells (SCs) are indispensable for tissue regeneration, remodeling and growth. Following myotrauma, SCs are activated, and assist in tissue repair. Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by a pronounced inflammatory response and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Experimental evidence suggests that SCs kinetics (the propagation from a quiescent to an activated/proliferative state) following EIMD is redox-dependent and interconnected with changes in the SCs microenvironment (niche). Animal studies have shown that following aseptic myotrauma, antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory supplementation leads to an improved recovery and skeletal muscle regeneration through enhanced SCs kinetics, suggesting a redox-dependent molecular mechanism. Although evidence suggests that antioxidant/anti-inflammatory compounds may prevent performance deterioration and enhance recovery, there is lack of information regarding the redox-dependent regulation of SCs responses following EIMD in humans. In this review, SCs kinetics following aseptic myotrauma, as well as the intrinsic redox-sensitive molecular mechanisms responsible for SCs responses are discussed. The role of redox status on SCs function should be further investigated in the future with human clinical trials in an attempt to elucidate the molecular pathways responsible for muscle recovery and provide information for potential nutritional strategies aiming at performance recovery.

Abstract
During muscle regeneration, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) promotes both proliferation and migration. However, the relationship between proliferation and migration is poorly understood in this context. To elucidate this complex relationship on a physiological level, we established an intravital imaging system for measuring ERK activity, migration speed, and cell-cycle phases in mouse muscle satellite cell-derived myogenic cells. We found that in vivo, ERK is maximally activated in myogenic cells two days after injury, and this is then followed by increases in cell number and motility. With limited effects of ERK activity on migration on an acute timescale, we hypothesized that ERK increases migration speed in the later phase by promoting cell-cycle progression. Our cell-cycle analysis further revealed that in myogenic cells, ERK activity is critical for G1/S transition, and cells migrate more rapidly in S/G2 phase 3 days after injury. Finally, migration speed of myogenic cells was suppressed after CDK1/2-but not CDK1-inhibitor treatment, demonstrating a critical role of CDK2 in myogenic cell migration. Overall, our study demonstrates that in myogenic cells, the ERK-CDK2 axis promotes not only G1/S transition but also migration, thus providing a novel mechanism for efficient muscle regeneration.

Abstract
Muscle aging is accompanied by blunted muscle regeneration in response to injury and disuse. Oxidative stress likely underlies this diminished response, but muscle redox sensors that act in regeneration have not yet been characterized. Calmodulin contains multiple redox sensitive methionines whose oxidation alters the regulation of numerous cellular targets. We have used the CRISPR-Cas9 system to introduce a single amino acid substitution M109Q that mimics oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide in one or both alleles of the CALM1 gene, one of three genes encoding the muscle regulatory protein calmodulin, in C2C12 mouse myoblasts. When signaled to undergo myogenesis, mutated myoblasts failed to differentiate into myotubes. Although early myogenic regulatory factors were present, cells with the CALM1 M109Q mutation in one or both alleles were unable to withdraw from the cell cycle and failed to express late myogenic factors. We have shown that a single oxidative modification to a redox-sensitive muscle regulatory protein can halt myogenesis, suggesting a molecular target for mitigating the impact of oxidative stress in age-related muscle degeneration.

Abstract
Aging and muscle diseases often lead to a decline in the differentiation capacity of myoblasts, which in turn results in the deterioration of skeletal muscle (SkM) function and impairment of regeneration ability after injury. Theaflavins, the "gold molecules" found in black tea, have been reported to possess various biological activities and have a positive effect on maintaining human health. In this study, we found that among the four theaflavins (theaflavin (TF1), theaflavin-3-gallate (TF2A), theaflavin-3'-gallate (TF2B), and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF3) monomers), TF1 (20 μM) significantly promoted the fusion index of myoblasts, number of mature myotubes, and degree of myotube development. By combining transcriptomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology experiments, we showed that TF1 may promote myoblast differentiation by (1) regulating the withdrawal of myoblasts from the cell cycle, inducing the release of myogenic factors (MyoD, MyoG, and MyHC) and accelerating myogenic differentiation and (2) regulating the adhesion force of myoblasts and mechanical properties of mature myotubes and promoting the migration, fusion, and development of myoblasts. In conclusion, our study outcomes show that TF1 can promote myoblast differentiation and regulate myotube mechanical properties. It is a potential dietary supplement for the elderly. Our findings provide a new scientific basis for the relationship between tea drinking and aging.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant and highly plastic tissues. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is recognised as a major intracellular protein degradation system, and its function is important for muscle homeostasis and health. Although UPS plays an essential role in protein degradation during muscle atrophy, leading to the loss of muscle mass and strength, its deficit negatively impacts muscle homeostasis and leads to the occurrence of several pathological phenotypes. A growing number of studies have linked UPS impairment not only to matured muscle fibre degeneration and weakness, but also to muscle stem cells and deficiency in regeneration. Emerging evidence suggests possible links between abnormal UPS regulation and several types of muscle diseases. Therefore, understanding of the role of UPS in skeletal muscle may provide novel therapeutic insights to counteract muscle wasting, and various muscle diseases. In this review, we focussed on the role of proteasomes in skeletal muscle and its regeneration, including a brief explanation of the structure of proteasomes. In addition, we summarised the recent findings on several diseases and elaborated on how the UPS is related to their pathological states.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is known to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, although non-apoptotic functions have also been reported for this cytokine in various cell types. TRAIL and its receptor TRAIL-R2 are expressed in skeletal muscles, but a potential role of muscle-derived TRAIL in myogenesis has not been explored. Here we report that TRAIL is an autocrine regulator of myogenic differentiation. Knockdown of TRAIL or TRAIL-R2 enhanced C2C12 myoblast differentiation, and recombinant TRAIL inhibited expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21, accompanied by suppression of myoblasts from exiting the cell cycle, a requisite step in the myogenic differentiation process. Blocking cell cycle progression restored differentiation from inhibition by recombinant TRAIL, supporting the notion that TRAIL exerts its effect in myogenesis through modulating cell cycle exit. We also found that TRAIL knockdown led to enhanced muscle regeneration in mice upon injury, recapitulating the in vitro observation. Additionally, inhibition of ERK activation reversed the negative effect of recombinant TRAIL on p21 expression and myoblast differentiation, suggesting that ERK signaling may be a mediator of TRAIL's function to suppress cell cycle withdrawal and inhibit differentiation. Taken together, our findings uncover a muscle cell-autonomous non-apoptotic function of TRAIL in skeletal myogenesis.

Abstract
During organogenesis, coherent organ growth arises from spatiotemporally coordinated decisions of individual cells. In the root of Arabidopsis thaliana, this coordination results in the establishment of a division and a differentiation zone. Cells continuously move through these zones; thus, a major question is how the boundary between these domains, the transition zone, is formed and maintained. By combining molecular genetics with computational modeling, we reveal how an auxin/PLETHORA/ARR-B network controls these dynamic patterning processes. We show that after germination, cell division causes a drop in distal PLT2 levels that enables transition zone formation and ARR12 activation. The resulting PLT2-ARR12 antagonism controls expansion of the division zone (the meristem). The successive ARR1 activation antagonizes PLT2 through inducing the cell-cycle repressor KRP2, thus setting final meristem size. Our work indicates a key role for the interplay between cell division dynamics and regulatory networks in root zonation and transition zone patterning.

Abstract
Over the past 20 years, various identifiers of cellular senescence have been used to quantify the abundance of these cells in different tissues. These include classic markers such as p16, senescence-associated β-gal, and γH2AX, in addition to more recent markers (Sudan Black B and HMGB1). In vivo data on the usefulness of these markers in skeletal muscle are very limited and inconsistent. In the present study, we attempted to identify senescent cells in frozen human skeletal muscle biopsies using these markers to determine the effects of age and obesity on senescent cell burden; however, we were only able to assess the abundance of DNA-damaged nuclei using γH2AX immunohistochemistry. The abundance of γH2AX+ cells, including satellite cells, was not higher in muscle from old compared to young individuals; however, γH2AX+ cells were higher with obesity. Additionally, terminally differentiated, postmitotic myofiber nuclei from obese individuals had elevated γH2AX abundance compared to muscle from lean individuals. Analyses of gene expression support the conclusion that the elevated DNA damage and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype are preferentially associated with obesity in skeletal muscle. These data implicate obesity as a larger contributor to DNA damage in skeletal muscle than aging; however, more sensitive senescence markers for human skeletal muscle are needed to determine if these cells are in fact senescent.

Abstract
The proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts are essential for the regeneration and development of skeletal muscles. However, the process of skeletal muscle development in cattle is complex and needs to be further investigated. The microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small noncoding RNAs that play a critical role during skeletal muscle development. In this study, we evaluated the function of miR-885 in muscle development in cattle. The results found that the expression of miR-885 was gradually upregulated during myoblast proliferation, whereas progressively downregulated during myoblast differentiation. The overexpression of miR-885 promoted cell proliferation of myoblast in cattle. Moreover, we further noted that the overexpression miR-885 triggered the expression level of various marker genes involved in cell proliferation, including proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), and cyclin B1 (CCNB1). Furthermore, it was observed that overexpression of miR-885 inhibited cell differentiation, and significantly decreased messenger RNA and protein expression levels of myogenic differentiation 1 (MyoD1) and myogenin (MyoG) in primary bovine myoblasts. Moreover, the miR-885 inhibitor revealed that miR-885 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell differentiation. In addition, the overexpression of miR-885 markedly decreased MyoD1 expression in primary bovine myoblasts. The luciferase reporter assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blot (WB) further indicated that miR-885 directly binding to 3' UTR of MyoD1 gene during transcriptional regulation. Conclusively, these results signified that miR-885 could be critical for the proliferation and differentiation in primary bovine myoblast cells by targeting the MyoD1 gene in cattle.

Abstract
Insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 is a major substrate of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptors. It is well-known that IGF-I and II play essential roles in myogenesis progression. Herein, we report an unexpected phenomenon that IRS-1-overexpressing L6 myoblasts are eliminated from normal cell layers at the beginning of differentiation. Initially, the IRS protein level and apoptosis were examined during myogenic differentiation in L6 myoblasts. We found that the IRS-1 protein level decreased, whereas active caspase 3 increased around 1 day after induction of differentiation. The addition of a pan-caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, inhibited differentiation-induced suppression of the IRS-1 protein level. Apoptosis was not enhanced in L6 myoblasts stably expressing high levels of IRS-1 (L6-IRS-1). However, when L6-IRS-1 was cultured with control cells (L6-mock), we observed that L6-IRS-1 was eliminated from the cell layer. We have recently reported that, in L6-IRS-1, internalization of the IGF-I receptor was delayed and IGF signal activation was sustained for a longer period than in L6-mock. When cells stably expressing IRS-1 3YA mutant, which could not maintain the IGF signals, were cultured with normal cells, elimination from the cell layer was not detected. These data suggested that the high level of IRS-1 in myoblasts induces elimination from the cell layer due to abnormal sustainment of IGF-I receptor activation.

Abstract
p53, with its family members p63 and p73, have been shown to promote myoblast differentiation by regulation of the function of the retinoblastoma protein and by direct activation of p21Cip/Waf1 and p57Kip2, promoting cell cycle exit. In previous studies, we have demonstrated that the TAp63γ isoform is the only member of the p53 family that accumulates during in vitro myoblasts differentiation, and that its silencing led to delay in myotube fusion. To better dissect the role of TAp63γ in myoblast physiology, we have generated both sh-p63 and Tet-On inducible TAp63γ clones. Gene array analysis of sh-p63 C2C7 clones showed a significant modulation of genes involved in proliferation and cellular metabolism. Indeed, we found that sh-p63 C2C7 myoblasts present a higher proliferation rate and that, conversely, TAp63γ ectopic expression decreases myoblasts proliferation, indicating that TAp63γ specifically contributes to myoblasts proliferation, independently of p53 and p73. In addition, sh-p63 cells have a defect in mitochondria respiration highlighted by a reduction in spare respiratory capacity and a decrease in complex I, IV protein levels. These results demonstrated that, beside contributing to cell cycle exit, TAp63γ participates to myoblasts metabolism control.

Episodic Prenatal Exposure To Ethanol Affects Postnatal Neurogenesis In The Macaque Dentate Gyrus And Visual Recognition Memory. Int J Dev Neurosci 2019; 79:65-75.

Abstract
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a prime cause of cognitive dysfunction. The present study tested the hypotheses (a) that gestational ethanol exposure results in deficits in hippocampal-related behaviors and associated neurogenesis and (b) that the period of gastrulation is a time of vulnerability. Pregnant macaques were intubated with ethanol or saline once per week for 3, 6, or 24 weeks. Exposures included or omitted the period of gastrulation. Offspring were given behavioral tests including a Visual-Paired Comparison (VPC), a hippocampal-associated memory task, and euthanized as adolescents. Their dentate gyri were processed for immunohistochemical identification of cells passing through the cell cycle (Ki-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen), exiting the cell cycle (p21), or passing through early stages of neuronal morphogenesis (Tuj1). Performance in neurobehavioral tasks was unaffected by ethanol exposure, the notable exception being performance in the VPC that was poorer for macaques exposed to ethanol including gastrulation. Anatomical studies show that the expression of Ki-67 was greater and ratio of p21-positive cells to the ratio of Ki-67-expressing cells was lower in animals in which the ethanol exposure included gastrulation. On the other hand, no ethanol-induced differences in TuJ1 expression were detected. Thus, the dentate gyrus is a bellwether of long-term consequences of gestational ethanol exposure. Targeted effects of ethanol on early neural generation (cell cycle and cycle exit) correlate with the timing-dependent degradation in VPC performance and exposure during gastrulation results in notable deficits. These changes evidence a pattern of fetal programming underlying FAS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The tumor suppressor p53 is a master regulator of apoptosis and also plays a key role in cell cycle checking. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that p53 directly regulates Bak in mouse JB6 cells and that p53-Bak signaling axis plays an important role in mediating EGCG-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we have recently demonstrated that the same p53-Bak apoptotic signaling axis executes an essential role in regulating lens cell differentiation. In addition, we have also shown that p53 controls both transcription factors, C-Maf and Prox-1 as well as lens crystallin genes, αA, β- and γ-crystallins. Here, we have examined whether p53 also regulates other known target genes during its modulation of lens differentiation. The human and mouse lens epithelial cells, FHL124 and αTN4-1 were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin. METHODS Mice used in this study were handled in compliance with the "Protocol for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (Sun Yat-sen University). Adult mice were used for the collection of lens cells. These samples were used for extraction of total proteins. A total of 32 embryonic mice {8 at 14.5 ED, 8 at 17.5 ED and 8 newborns for wild type} were used for immunohistochemistry, which were used for co-localization study. The mRNA levels were analysed with qRT-PCR. The protein levels were determined with western blot analysis and quantitated with Image J. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry revealed that both the cell cycle checking genes, p21 and Gadd45α and the apoptotic genes, Bcl-2 and PUMA, display developmental changes associated with p53 during mouse lens development. Knockdown of p53 in the mouse lens epithelial cells caused inhibition of lens differentiation. Associated with this inhibition, the cell cycle genes displayed significant downreglation, the apoptotic genes was also attenuated but to a much less degree. In addition, we found that bFGF can induce dose-dependent upregulation of the upstream kinases, CHK1/2 and ERK1/2, both known to phosphorylate p53 and activate the later. Furthermore, We showed that in both developing lens and human lens epithelial cells, p53 can be co-localized with the catalytic subunit of the protein phoshphatase-1 (PP-1), suggesting that PP-1 regulates p53 phosphorylation status both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION Taken together, our results suggest that during mouse lens development, p53 activity is regulated by ERK and CHK kinases-mediated activation, and by PP-1-mediated inactivation. p53 can regulate multiple groups of genes to mediate lens differentiation.

Abstract
Bioengineered skeletal muscle tissues benefit from dynamic culture environments which facilitate the appropriate provision of nutrients and removal of cellular waste products. Biologically compatible perfusion systems hold the potential to enhance the physiological biomimicry of in vitro tissues via dynamic culture, in addition to providing technological advances in analytical testing and live cellular imaging for analysis of cellular development. To meet such diverse requirements, perfusion systems require the capacity and adaptability to incorporate multiple cell laden constructs of both monolayer and bioengineered tissues. This work reports perfusion systems produced using additive manufacturing technology for the in situ phenotypic development of myogenic precursor cells in monolayer and bioengineered tissue. Biocompatibility of systems 3D printed using stereolithography (SL), laser sintering (LS), and PolyJet outlined preferential morphological development within both SL and LS devices. When exposed to intermittent perfusion in the monolayer, delayed yet physiologically representative cellular proliferation, MyoD and myogenin transcription of C2C12 cells was evident. Long-term (8 days) intermittent perfusion of monolayer cultures outlined viable morphological and genetic in situ differentiation for the live cellular imaging of myogenic development. Continuous perfusion cultures (13 days) of bioengineered skeletal muscle tissues outlined in situ myogenic differentiation, forming mature multinucleated myotubes. Here, reductions in IL-1β and TNF-α inflammatory cytokines, myostatin, and MuRF-1 atrophic mRNA expression were observed. Comparable myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform transcription profiles were evident between conditions; however, total mRNA expression was reduced in perfusion conditions. Decreased transcription of MuRF1 and subsequent reduced ubiquitination of the MyHC protein allude to a decreased requirement for transcription of MyHC isoform transcripts. Together, these data appear to indicate that 3D printed perfusion systems elicit enhanced stability of the culture environment, resulting in a reduced basal requirement for MyHC gene expression within bioengineered skeletal muscle tissue.

Abstract
JARID2 is a noncatalytic member of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which methylates of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27). In this work, we show that JARID2 and the PRC2 complex regulate the cell cycle in skeletal muscle cells to control proliferation and mitotic exit. We found that the stable depletion of JARID2 leads to increased proliferation and cell accumulation in S phase. The regulation of the cell cycle by JARID2 is mediated by direct repression of both cyclin D1 and cyclin E1, both of which are targets of PRC2-mediated H3K27 methylation. Intriguingly, we also find that the retinoblastoma protein (RB1) is a direct target of JARID2 and the PRC2 complex. The depletion of JARID2 is not sufficient to activate RB1. However, the ectopic expression of RB1 can suppress cyclin D1 expression in JARID2-depleted cells. Transient depletion of JARID2 in skeletal muscle cells leads to a transient up-regulation of cyclin D1 that is quickly suppressed with no resulting effect on proliferation, Taken together, we show that JARID2 and the PRC2 complex regulate skeletal muscle proliferation in a precise manner that involves the repression of cyclin D1, thus restraining proliferation and repressing RB1, which is required for mitotic exit and terminal differentiation.

Abstract
Cancer cells possess metabolic properties that are different from benign cells. These unique characteristics have become attractive targets that are being actively investigated for cancer therapy. p21cip1/waf1, also known as Cyclin-Dependent Kinase inhibitor 1A, is encoded by the CDKN1A gene. It is a major p53 target gene involved in cell cycle progression that has been extensively evaluated. To date, p21 has been reported to regulate various cell functions, both dependent and independent of p53. Besides regulating the cell cycle, p21 also modulates apoptosis, induces senescence, and maintains cellular quiescence in response to various stimuli. p21 transcription is induced in response to stresses, including those from oxidative and chemotherapeutic treatment. A recent study has shown that in response to metabolic stresses such as nutrient and energy depletion, p21 expression is induced to regulate various cell functions. Despite the biological significance, the mechanism of p21 regulation in cancer adaptation to metabolic stress is underexplored and thus represents an exciting field. This review focuses on the recent development of p21 regulation in response to metabolic stress and its impact in inducing cell cycle arrest and death in cancer cells.

[PMID: 31165762 PMCID: PMC6549159 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-44749-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 01/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Muscle differentiation is controlled by adhesion and growth factor-dependent signalling through common effectors that regulate muscle-specific transcriptional programs. Here we report that mDiaphanous1, an effector of adhesion-dependent RhoA-signalling, negatively regulates myogenesis at the level of Myogenin expression. In myotubes, over-expression of mDia1ΔN3, a RhoA-independent mutant, suppresses Myogenin promoter activity and expression. We investigated mDia1-interacting proteins that may counteract mDia1 to permit Myogenin expression and timely differentiation. Using yeast two-hybrid and mass-spectrometric analysis, we report that mDia1 has a stage-specific interactome, including Prohibitin2, MyoD, Akt2, and β-Catenin, along with a number of proteosomal and mitochondrial components. Of these interacting partners, Prohibitin2 colocalises with mDia1 in cytoplasmic punctae in myotubes. We mapped the interacting domains of mDia1 and Phb2, and used interacting (mDia1ΔN3/Phb2 FL or mDia1ΔN3/Phb2-Carboxy) and non-interacting pairs (mDia1H + P/Phb2 FL or mDia1ΔN3/Phb2-Amino) to dissect the functional consequences of this partnership on Myogenin promoter activity. Co-expression of full-length as well as mDia1-interacting domains of Prohibitin2 reverse the anti-myogenic effects of mDia1ΔN3, while non-interacting regions do not. Our results suggest that Prohibitin2 sequesters mDia1, dampens its anti-myogenic activity and fine-tunes RhoA-mDia1 signalling to promote differentiation. Overall, we report that mDia1 is multi-functional signalling effector whose anti-myogenic activity is modulated by a differentiation-dependent interactome. The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD012257.

Abstract
Background Dlx5 and Dlx6 stimulate differentiation of diverse progenitors during embryonic development. Their actions as pro-differentiation transcription factors includes the up-regulation of differentiation markers but the extent to which differentiation may also be stimulated by regulation of the cell cycle has not been addressed. Results We document that expression of Dlx5 and Dlx6 antagonizes cell proliferation in a variety of cell types without inducing apoptosis or promoting cell cycle exit. Rather, a variety of evidence indicates that elevated Dlx5 and Dlx6 expression reduces the proportion of cells in S phase and affects the length of the cell cycle. Conclusions Antagonism of S-phase entry by Dlx5 and Dlx6 proteins likely represents a lineage-independent function to effect Dlx-mediated differentiation in multiple progenitor cell types.

Abstract
Akirin1 is found to be involved in myoblast differentiation. However, the mechanism by which the Akirin1 gene regulates myoblast differentiation still remains unclear. In the present study, we found that ectopic expression of Akirin1 promoted myoblast differentiation by increasing the expression of myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) 4 (MRF4) and myocyte enhancer factor 2B (MEF2B) mRNA. Additionally, we showed that ectopic Akirin1 induced cell cycle arrest by up-regulating p21 mRNA. To further uncover the mechanism by which Akirin1 promotes myoblast differentiation, we showed that the enhanced Akirin1 increased the mRNA expression of P38α. Importantly, the enhanced MRF4 expression by Akirin1 can be abrogated by treatment of SB203580, a p38 inhibitor. Similarly, we found that enhanced MEF2B expression by Akirin1 can be abrogated by treatment with LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor. Together, our results indicate that Akirin1 promotes myoblast differentiation by acting on the p38 and PI3K pathways and subsequently inducing the expression of myoblast differentiation factors.

Abstract
The peculiar ability of skeletal muscle tissue to operate adaptive changes during post-natal de-velopment and adulthood has been associated with the existence of adult somatic stem cells. Satellite cells, occupying an exclusive niche within the adult muscle tissue, are considered bona fide stem cells with both stem-like properties and myogenic activities. Indeed, satellite cells retain the capability to both maintain the quiescence in uninjured muscles and to be promptly activated in response to growth or re-generative signals, re-engaging the cell cycle. Activated cells can undergo myogenic differentiation or self-renewal moving back to the quiescent state. Satellite cells behavior and their fate decision are finely controlled by mechanisms involving both cell-autonomous and external stimuli. Alterations in these regu-latory networks profoundly affect muscle homeostasis and the dynamic response to tissue damage, con-tributing to the decline of skeletal muscle that occurs under physio-pathologic conditions. Although the clear myogenic activity of satellite cells has been described and their pivotal role in muscle growth and regeneration has been reported, a comprehensive picture of inter-related mechanisms guiding muscle stem cell activity has still to be defined. Here, we reviewed the main regulatory networks determining satellite cell behavior. In particular, we focused on genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlining satel-lite cell maintenance and commitment. Besides intrinsic regulations, we reported current evidences about the influence of environmental stimuli, derived from other cell populations within muscle tissue, on satel-lite cell biology.

Abstract
Tissue-specific stem cells contribute to adult tissue maintenance, repair, and regeneration. In skeletal muscle, many different mononuclear cell types are capable of giving rise to differentiated muscle. Of these tissue stem-like cells, satellite cells (SCs) are the most studied muscle stem cell population and are widely considered the main cellular source driving muscle repair and regeneration in adult tissue. Within the satellite cell pool, many distinct subpopulations exist, each exhibiting differential abilities to exit quiescence, expand, differentiate, and self-renew. In this chapter, we discuss the different stem cell types that can give rise to skeletal muscle tissue and then focus on satellite cell heterogeneity during the process of myogenesis/muscle regeneration. Finally, we highlight emerging opportunities to better characterize muscle stem cell heterogeneity, which will ultimately deepen our appreciation of stem cells in muscle development, repair/regeneration, aging, and disease.

Abstract
Adult mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) exhibit limited proliferative capacity, as cell cycle
activity leads to an increase in DNA content, but mitosis and cytokinesis are infrequent. This
makes the heart highly inefficient in replacing with neoformed cardiomyocytes lost contractile cells as
occurs in diseases such as myocardial infarction and dilated cardiomyopathy. Regenerative therapies
based on the implant of stem cells of diverse origin do not warrant engraftment and electromechanical
connection of the new cells with the resident ones, a fundamental condition to restore the physiology
of the cardiac syncytium. Consequently, there is a growing interest in identifying factors playing relevant
roles in the regulation of the CM cell cycle to be targeted in order to induce the resident cardiomyocytes
to divide into daughter cells and thus achieve myocardial regeneration with preservation of
physiologic syncytial performance.
Despite the scientific progress achieved over the last decades, many questions remain unanswered, including
how cardiomyocyte proliferation is regulated during heart development in gestation and neonatal
life. This can reveal unknown cell cycle regulation mechanisms and molecules that may be manipulated
to achieve cardiac self-regeneration.
We hereby revise updated data on CM cell cycle regulation, participating molecules and pathways recently
linked with the cell cycle, as well as experimental therapies involving them.

Abstract
Adult muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are required for adult skeletal muscle regeneration. A proper balance between quiescence, proliferation, and differentiation is essential for the maintenance of the satellite cell pool and their regenerative function. Although the ubiquitin-proteasome is required for most protein degradation in mammalian cells, how its dysfunction affects tissue stem cells remains unclear. Here, we investigated the function of the proteasome in satellite cells using mice lacking the crucial proteasomal component, Rpt3. Ablation of Rpt3 in satellite cells decreased proteasome activity. Proteasome dysfunction in Rpt3-deficient satellite cells impaired their ability to proliferate, survive and differentiate, resulting in defective muscle regeneration. We found that inactivation of proteasomal activity induced proliferation defects and apoptosis in satellite cells. Mechanistically, insufficient proteasomal activity upregulated the p53 pathway, which caused cell-cycle arrest. Our findings delineate a critical function of the proteasome system in maintaining satellite cells in adult muscle. Ablation of Rpt3 in satellite cells leads to decreased proteasome activity Proteasome dysfunction in satellite cells results in defective muscle regeneration Proteasome dysfunction induces proliferation defects and apoptosis Inhibition of p53 rescues Rpt3-mediated defects in proliferation

Abstract
Adult skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration depend on efficient muscle stem cell (MuSC) functions. The mechanisms coordinating cell cycle with activation, renewal, and differentiation of MuSCs remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated how adult MuSCs are regulated by CDKN1c (p57kip2), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, using mouse molecular genetics. In the absence of CDKN1c, skeletal muscle repair is severely impaired after injury. We show that CDKN1c is not expressed in quiescent MuSCs, while being induced in activated and proliferating myoblasts and maintained in differentiating myogenic cells. In agreement, isolated Cdkn1c-deficient primary myoblasts display differentiation defects and increased proliferation. We further show that the subcellular localization of CDKN1c is dynamic; while CDKN1c is initially localized to the cytoplasm of activated/proliferating myoblasts, progressive nuclear translocation leads to growth arrest during differentiation. We propose that CDKN1c activity is restricted to differentiating myoblasts by regulated cyto-nuclear relocalization, coordinating the balance between proliferation and growth arrest.
