Abstract
Clinical studies revealed a relationship between osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Based on this background, crosstalk between muscle and bone has emerged as a novel research field in the past decade. Among the interactions that occur between muscle and bone, humoral factors, such as osteokines and myokines, affect distant muscles and bones, respectively. Recent studies proposed several important myokines that have an impact on bone, such as myostatin and irisin. Signaling by these myokines has potential as a target for drug development and biomarkers for exercise. Mechanical stress, endocrine disorders, and chronic kidney disease partly affect bone through various myokines in crosstalk between muscle and bone. Moreover, the involvement of extracellular vesicles from bone or muscle as communication tools in the interactions between muscle and bone was recently proposed. Further clinical studies are needed to clarify the significance of myokine regulation under physiological and pathophysiological states in humans.

HDAC9 inhibition reduces skeletal muscle atrophy and enhances regeneration in mice with cigarette smoke-induced COPD. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167023.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke (CS) is the major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sarcopenia is one of the significant comorbidities of COPD. However, the pathogenesis of CS-related deficient skeletal muscle regeneration has yet to be clarified. The impact of CS on myoblast differentiation was examined, and then we determined which HDAC influenced the myogenic process and muscle atrophy in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we further investigated the potential mechanisms via RNA sequencing. Long-term CS exposure activated skeletal muscle primary satellite cells (SCs) while inhibiting differentiation, and defective myogenesis was also observed in C2C12 cells treated with CS extract (CSE). The level of HDAC9 changed in vitro and in vivo in CS exposure models as well as COPD patients, as detected by bioinformatics analysis. Our data showed that CSE impaired myogenic capacity and myotube formation in C2C12 cells via HDAC9. Moreover, inhibition of HDAC9 in mice exposed to CS prevented skeletal muscle dysfunction and promoted SC differentiation. The results of RNA-Seq analysis and verification indicated that HDAC9 knockout improved muscle differentiation in CS-exposed mice, probably by acting on the AKT/mTOR pathway and inhibiting the P53/P21 pathway. More importantly, the serum of HDAC9 KO mice exposed to CS alleviated the differentiation impairment of C2C12 cells caused by serum intervention in CS-exposed mice, and this effect was inhibited by LY294002 (an AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitor). These results suggest that HDAC9 plays an essential role in the defective regeneration induced by chronic exposure to CS.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients manifest muscle dysfunction and impaired muscle oxidative capacity, which result in reduced exercise capacity and poor health status. The aim of this study was to compare the physical performance, systemic inflammation, and oxidative stress of patients with moderate COPD, and to associate physical performance with inflammatory and oxidative stress plasma markers. Twenty CONTROL (n = 10) and moderate COPD (n = 10) patients participated in this study. Systematic inflammation and oxidative stress plasma markers, maximal aerobic capacity (VO2peak), and maximal isometric strength (MVIC) of the knee extensor (KE) muscles were measured. VO2peak was 31.3% greater in CONTROL compared to COPD (P = 0.006). The MVIC strength of the KE was 43.9% greater in CONTROL compared to COPD (P = 0.002). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was 79.6% greater in COPD compared to CONTROL (P < 0.001). Glutathione peroxidase activity (GPx) activity was 27.5% lesser in COPD compared to CONTROL (P = 0.05). TNF-α concentration was correlated with KE MVC strength (R = -0.48; P = 0.045) and VO2peak (R = -0.58; P = 0.01). Meanwhile, malondialdehyde (MDA) and GPx activity were not associated with KE strength or VO2peak (P = 0.74 and P = 0.14, respectively). COPD patients showed lesser muscle strength and aerobic capacity than healthy control individuals. Furthermore, patients with COPD showed greater systemic inflammation and lesser antioxidant capacity than healthy counterparts. A moderate association was evident between levels of systemic inflammation and physical performance variables.

Aging Dis 2023:AD.2023.1125. [PMID: 38270119 DOI: 10.14336/ad.2023.1125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction (SMD) is the most significant extrapulmonary complication and an independent prognostic indicator in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Myokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-15, myostatin, irisin, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, play important roles in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function, protein synthesis and breakdown balance, and regeneration of skeletal muscles in COPD. As the main component of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise can improve muscle strength, muscle endurance, and exercise capacity in patients with COPD, as well as improve the prognosis of SMD and COPD by regulating the expression levels of myokines. The mechanisms by which exercise regulates myokine levels are related to microRNAs. IGF-1 expression is upregulated by decreasing the expression of miR-1 or miR-29b. Myostatin downregulation and irisin upregulation are associated with increased miR-27a expression and decreased miR-696 expression, respectively. These findings suggest that myokines are potential targets for the prevention and treatment of SMD in COPD. A comprehensive analysis of the role and regulatory mechanisms of myokines can facilitate the development of new exercise-based therapeutic approaches for patients with COPD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common chronic diseases in the elderly population and is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow obstruction. During COPD progression, a variety of pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications develop, with sarcopenia being one of the most common extrapulmonary complications. Factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of coexisting COPD and sarcopenia include systemic inflammation, hypoxia, hypercapnia, oxidative stress, protein metabolic imbalance, and myocyte mitochondrial dysfunction. These factors, individually or in concert, affect muscle function, resulting in decreased muscle mass and strength. The occurrence of sarcopenia severely affects the quality of life of patients with COPD, resulting in increased readmission rates, longer hospital admission, and higher mortality. In recent years, studies have found that oral supplementation with protein, micronutrients, fat, or a combination of nutritional supplements can improve the muscle strength and physical performance of these patients; some studies have also elucidated the possible underlying mechanisms. This review aimed to elucidate the role of nutrition among patients with coexisting COPD and sarcopenia.

Abstract
The effects of voluntary running on the skeletal muscle of rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) were tested in the present study. PAH was induced in rats by a single injection of monocrotaline (MCT, 60 mg/kg). Rats in the sedentary hypertension (HS) group had their tolerance to physical exertion reduced throughout the experiment, while those in the sedentary control (SC), exercise control (EC), exercise hypertension (EH) and median exercise (EM) groups maintained or increased. Despite that, the muscular citrate synthase activity was not different between groups. The survival time was higher in the EH (32 days) than in the SH (28 days) (p = 0.0032). SH and EH groups showed a lower percentage of muscle fiber and a higher percentage of extracellular matrix compared to control groups (p < 0.0001). However, the EM and EH groups presented higher percentage of muscle fiber and lower percentage of extracellular matrix than SH group (p < 0.0001). Regarding muscular gene expression, the SH and EM groups showed a lower expression of PGC1-α (p = 0.0024) and a higher expression of VEGF (p = 0.0033) compared to SC, while PGC1-α was elevated in the EH. No difference between groups was found for the carbonylated protein levels (p > 0.05), while the TNF-α/IL-10 ratio was augmented in the EH (p = 0.0277). In conclusion, voluntary running augments the proportion of fiber and affects the gene expression of inflammatory and mitochondrial biogenesis' markers in the skeletal muscle of rats with MCT-induced PAH, which benefits their survival and tolerance to physical effort.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes sarcopenia and osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms underlying muscle and bone loss as well as the interactions between muscle and bone in the COPD state remain unclear. Therefore, we herein investigated the effects of the COPD state on muscle and bone in mice intratracheally administered porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE). The intratracheal administration of PPE to mice significantly reduced trabecular bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone volume, trabecular number, cortical BMD and cortical area. It also significantly decreased grip strength, but did not affect muscle mass or the expression of myogenic differentiation-, protein degradation- or autophagy-related genes in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles. Among the myokines examined, myostatin mRNA levels in the soleus muscles were significantly elevated in mice treated with PPE, and negatively related to grip strength, but not bone parameters, in mice treated with or without 2 U PPE in simple regression analyses. Grip strength positively related to bone parameters in mice treated with or without PPE. In conclusion, we showed that a PPE model of COPD in mice exerts dominant effects on bone rather than skeletal muscles. Increased myostatin expression in the soleus muscles of mice in the COPD state may negatively relate to a reduction in grip strength, but not bone loss.

Abstract
In recent years, microalgae have become a source of molecules for a healthy life. Their composition of carbohydrates, peptides, lipids, vitamins and carotenoids makes them a promising new source of antioxidant molecules. Skeletal muscle is a tissue that requires constant remodeling via protein turnover, and its regular functioning consumes energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is produced by mitochondria. Under conditions of traumatic exercise or muscular diseases, a high production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the origin of oxidative stress (OS) will lead to inflammation and muscle atrophy, with life-long consequences. In this review, we describe the potential antioxidant effects of microalgae and their biomolecules on mitochondrial functions and skeletal muscular oxidative stress during exercises or in musculoskeletal diseases, as in sarcopenia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), through the increase in and regulation of antioxidant pathways and protein synthesis.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a worldwide prevalent respiratory disease mainly caused by tobacco smoke exposure. COPD is now considered as a systemic disease with several comorbidities. Among them, skeletal muscle dysfunction affects around 20% of COPD patients and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Although the histological alterations are well characterized, including myofiber atrophy, a decreased proportion of slow-twitch myofibers, and a decreased capillarization and oxidative phosphorylation capacity, the molecular basis for muscle atrophy is complex and remains partly unknown. Major difficulties lie in patient heterogeneity, accessing patients' samples, and complex multifactorial process including extrinsic mechanisms, such as tobacco smoke or disuse, and intrinsic mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, hypoxia, or systemic inflammation. Muscle wasting is also a highly dynamic process whose investigation is hampered by the differential protein regulation according to the stage of atrophy. In this review, we report and discuss recent data regarding the molecular alterations in COPD leading to impaired muscle mass, including inflammation, hypoxia and hypercapnia, mitochondrial dysfunction, diverse metabolic changes such as oxidative and nitrosative stress and genetic and epigenetic modifications, all leading to an impaired anabolic/catabolic balance in the myocyte. We recapitulate data concerning skeletal muscle dysfunction obtained in the different rodent models of COPD. Finally, we propose several pathways that should be investigated in COPD skeletal muscle dysfunction in the future.

Abstract
Locomotor skeletal muscle dysfunction is a relevant comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is strongly associated with worse clinical outcomes including higher mortality. Over the last decades, a large body of literature helped characterize the process, defining the disruptive muscle phenotype caused by COPD that involves reduction in muscle mass, force-generation capacity, fatigue-tolerance, and regenerative potential following injury. A major limitation in the field has been the scarcity of well-calibrated animal models to conduct mechanistic research based on loss- and gain-of-function studies. This article provides an overall description of the process, the tools available to mechanistically investigate it, and the potential role of mitochondrially driven metabolic signals on the regulation muscle regeneration after injury in COPD. Finally, a description of future avenues to further expand on the area is proposed based on very recent evidence involving mitochondrial metabolic cues affecting myogenesis.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on cigarette smoke (CS)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence in mice with emphysema and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods Gastrocnemius muscle weight and lung and muscular morphology were observed in CS-exposed mice with or without RSV treatment. The expression of atrophy-related markers (MURF1 and MAFbx), senescence-related markers (P53, P21 and SMP30) and NF-κB inflammatory pathways was detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR. The levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were also determined by ELISA, and the number of senescent cells was determined by SA-β gal staining. In addition, the expression of HDAC2 and the effect of HDAC2 on CSE-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence by RSV treatment were investigated. Results RSV prevented emphysema and skeletal muscle atrophy in long-term CS-exposed mice. RSV decreased the expression of MURF1, MAFbx, P53, and P21 and inhibited the NF-κB pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, RSV reversed CS-induced downregulation of HDAC2 expression both in gastrocnemius and in C2C12 cells. Moreover, knockdown of HDAC2 significantly abolished the inhibitory effect of RSV on the expression of MURF1, MAFbx, P53, P21 and inflammatory factors (IL-1β and TNF-α) in C2C12 cells. Conclusion RSV prevents CS-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence, and upregulation of HDAC2 expression and suppression of inflammation are involved.

Abstract
Various diseases can cause skeletal muscle atrophy, usually accompanied by inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, decreased protein synthesis, and enhanced proteolysis. The underlying mechanism of inflammation in skeletal muscle atrophy is extremely complex and has not been fully elucidated, thus hindering the development of effective therapeutic drugs and preventive measures for skeletal muscle atrophy. In this review, we elaborate on protein degradation pathways, including the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP), the calpain and caspase pathways, the insulin growth factor 1/Akt protein synthesis pathway, myostatin, and muscle satellite cells, in the process of muscle atrophy. Under an inflammatory environment, various pro-inflammatory cytokines directly act on nuclear factor-κB, p38MAPK, and JAK/STAT pathways through the corresponding receptors, and then are involved in muscle atrophy. Inflammation can also indirectly trigger skeletal muscle atrophy by changing the metabolic state of other tissues or cells. This paper explores the changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and fat metabolism under inflammatory conditions as well as their effects on skeletal muscle. Moreover, this paper also reviews various signaling pathways related to muscle atrophy under inflammatory conditions, such as cachexia, sepsis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and nerve injury. Finally, this paper summarizes anti-amyotrophic drugs and their therapeutic targets for inflammation in recent years. Overall, inflammation is a key factor causing skeletal muscle atrophy, and anti-inflammation might be an effective strategy for the treatment of skeletal muscle atrophy. Various inflammatory factors and their downstream pathways are considered promising targets for the treatment and prevention of skeletal muscle atrophy.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction is an important extrapulmonary comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle-derived cytokines (myokines) play important roles in skeletal muscle growth and function, but their contributions to skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD have not been fully understood. In the current study, by using a well-established mouse model of COPD with skeletal muscle dysfunction, we found that the expressions of Fndc5 (fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5, the precursor of irisin) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) were decreased, while myostatin (Mstn), phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase (p-Erk1/2), and p-Smad3 expressions were upregulated in skeletal muscles from cigarette smoke-exposed mice and in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-stimulated C2C12 myotubes. Treatment with Smad3 or Erk1/2 inhibitors partially restored the expression of Fndc5 in CSE-stimulated C2C12 myotubes. Taken together, CSE exposure, by upregulation of p-Erk1/2, promoted the expression of Mstn, which further inhibited Fndc5 expression by the p-Smad3/PGC-1α pathway, revealing a novel regulating mechanism of myokines in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle comorbidities of COPD.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third cause of death worldwide. COPD is characterised by dyspnoea, limited exercise tolerance, and muscle dysfunction. Muscle dysfunction has been linked to dysregulation between muscle protein synthesis, myogenesis and degradation mechanisms. Conventional concentric cycling has been shown to improve several clinical outcomes and reduce muscle wasting in COPD patients. Eccentric cycling is a less explored exercise modality that allows higher training workloads imposing lower cardio-metabolic demand during exercise, which has shown to induce greater muscle mass and strength gains after training. Interestingly, the combination of eccentric and concentric cycling training has scarcely been explored. The molecular adaptations of skeletal muscle after exercise interventions in COPD have shown equivocal results. The mechanisms of muscle wasting in COPD and whether it can be reversed by exercise training are unclear. Therefore, this study aims two-fold: (1) to compare the effects of 12 weeks of eccentric (ECC), concentric (CONC), and combined eccentric/concentric (ECC/CONC) cycling training on muscle mass and function, cardiometabolic health, physical activity levels and quality of life in severe COPD patients; and (2) to examine the molecular adaptations regulating muscle growth after training, and whether they occur similarly in specific muscle fibres (i.e., I, IIa and IIx). Methods Study 1 will compare the effects of 12 weeks of CONC, ECC, versus ECC/CONC training on muscle mass and function, cardiometabolic health, levels of physical activity and quality of life of severe COPD patients using a multicentre randomised trial. Study 2 will investigate the effects of these training modalities on the molecular adaptations regulating muscle protein synthesis, myogenesis and muscle degradation in a subgroup of patients from Study 1. Changes in muscle fibres morphology, protein content, genes, and microRNA expression involved in skeletal muscle growth will be analysed in specific fibre-type pools. Discussion We aim to demonstrate that a combination of eccentric and concentric exercise could maximise the improvements in clinical outcomes and may be ideal for COPD patients. We also expect to unravel the molecular mechanisms underpinning muscle mass regulation after training in severe COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength and is associated with poor prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, a major cause for COPD, induces mitochondrial damage, which has been implicated in sarcopenia pathogenesis. The current study sought to examine the involvement of insufficient Parkin-mediated mitophagy, a mitochondrion-selective autophagy, in the mechanisms by which dysfunctional mitochondria accumulate with excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the development of COPD-related sarcopenia. METHODS The involvement of Parkin-mediated mitophagy was examined using in vitro models of myotube formation, in vivo CS-exposure model using Parkin-/- mice, and human muscle samples from patients with COPD-related sarcopenia. RESULTS Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induced myotube atrophy with concomitant 30% reduction in Parkin expression levels (P < 0.05). Parkin-mediated mitophagy regulated myotube atrophy by modulating mitochondrial damage and mitochondrial ROS production. Increased mitochondrial ROS was responsible for myotube atrophy by activating Muscle Ring Finger 1 (MuRF-1)-mediated myosin heavy chain (MHC) degradation. Parkin-/- mice with prolonged CS exposure showed enhanced limb muscle atrophy with a 31.7% reduction in limb muscle weights (P < 0.01) and 2.3 times greater MuRF-1 expression (P < 0.01) compared with wild-type mice with concomitant accumulation of damaged mitochondria and oxidative modifications in 4HNE expression. Patients with COPD-related sarcopenia exhibited significantly reduced Parkin but increased MuRF-1 protein levels (35% lower and 2.5 times greater protein levels compared with control patients, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) and damaged mitochondria accumulation demonstrated in muscles. Electric pulse stimulation-induced muscle contraction prevented CSE-induced MHC reduction by maintaining Parkin levels in myotubes. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, COPD-related sarcopenia can be attributed to insufficient Parkin-mediated mitophagy and increased mitochondrial ROS causing enhanced muscle atrophy through MuRF-1 activation, which may be at least partly preventable through optimal physical exercise.

Abstract
Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily. It is expressed by animal and human skeletal muscle cells where it limits muscle growth and promotes protein breakdown. Its effects are influenced by complex mechanisms including transcriptional and epigenetic regulation and modulation by extracellular binding proteins. Due to its actions in promoting muscle atrophy and cachexia, myostatin has been investigated as a promising therapeutic target to counteract muscle mass loss in experimental models and patients affected by different muscle-wasting conditions. Moreover, growing evidence indicates that myostatin, beyond to regulate skeletal muscle growth, may have a role in many physiologic and pathologic processes, such as obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. In this chapter, we review myostatin biology, including intracellular and extracellular regulatory pathways, and the role of myostatin in modulating physiologic processes, such as muscle growth and aging. Moreover, we discuss the most relevant experimental and clinical evidence supporting the extra-muscle effects of myostatin. Finally, we consider the main strategies developed and tested to inhibit myostatin in clinical trials and discuss the limits and future perspectives of the research on myostatin.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction is one of the important comorbidities of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand), a key mediator in osteoclast differentiation, was also found to play a role in skeletal muscle pathogenesis. Whether RANKL is involved in COPD-related skeletal muscle dysfunction is as-of-yet unknown. We examined the expression of RANKL/RANK in skeletal muscles from mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) for 24 weeks. Grip strength and exercise capacity as well as muscular morphology were evaluated in CS-exposed mice with or without anti-RANKL treatment. The expressions of protein synthesis- or muscle growth-related molecules (IGF-1, myogenin, and myostatin), muscle-specific ubiquitin E3 ligases (MuRF1 and atrogin-1), and the NF-κb inflammatory pathway were also evaluated in skeletal muscles. The effect of CS extract on RANKL/RANK expression and that of exogenous RANKL on the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in C2C12 myotubes were investigated in vitro. Long-term CS exposure induced skeletal muscle dysfunction and atrophy together with upregulation of RANKL/RANK expression in a well-established mouse model of COPD. RANKL neutralization prevented skeletal muscle dysfunction and atrophy. RANKL inhibition decreased expressions of myostatin and MuRF1/Atrogin1 and suppressed the NF-κb pathway in skeletal muscles from CS-exposed mice. In in vitro experiments with C2C12 myotubes, CS extract induced expression of RANKL/RANK, and exogenous RANKL induced activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and NF-κb pathway via RANK. Our results revealed an important role of the RANKL/RANK pathway in muscle atrophy induced by CS exposure, suggesting that RANKL may be a potential therapeutic target in COPD-related skeletal muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported to negatively affect the health of skeletal muscle, though the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Myostatin, a myokine whose increased expression is associated with muscle‐wasting diseases, has not been reported in humans with T1D but has been demonstrated to be elevated in preclinical diabetes models. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine if there is an elevated expression of myostatin in the serum and skeletal muscle of persons with T1D compared to controls. Secondarily, we aimed to explore relationships between myostatin expression and clinically important metrics (e.g., HbA1c, strength, lean mass) in women and men with (N = 31)/without T1D (N = 24) between 18 and 72 years old. Body composition, baseline strength, blood sample and vastus lateralis muscle biopsy were evaluated. Serum, but not muscle, myostatin expression was significantly elevated in those with T1D versus controls, and to a greater degree in T1D women than T1D men. Serum myostatin levels were not significantly associated with HbA1c nor disease duration. A significant correlation between serum myostatin expression and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and body fat mass was demonstrated in control subjects, but these correlations did not reach significance in those with T1D (MVC: R = 0.64 controls vs. R = 0.37 T1D; Body fat: R = −0.52 controls/R = −0.02 T1D). Collectively, serum myostatin was correlated with lean mass (R = 0.45), and while this trend was noted in both groups separately, neither reached statistical significance (R = 0.47 controls/R = 0.33 T1D). Overall, while those with T1D exhibited elevated serum myostatin levels (particularly females) myostatin expression was not correlated with clinically relevant metrics despite some of these relationships existing in controls (e.g., lean/fat mass). Future studies will be needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying increased myostatin in T1D, with relationships to insulin dosing being particularly important to elucidate.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2021; 16:1661-1675.

Abstract
Background Exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is the main risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CS not only causes chronic airway inflammation and lung damage but also is involved in skeletal muscle dysfunction (SMD). Previous studies have shown that histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) plays an important role in the progression of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the role of HDAC2 in CS-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence. Methods Gastrocnemius muscle weight and cross-sectional area (CSA) were measured in mice with CS-induced emphysema, and changes in the expression of atrophy-related markers and senescence-related markers were detected. In addition, the relationship between HDAC2 expression and skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence was also investigated. Results Mice exposed to CS for 24 weeks developed emphysema and gastrocnemius atrophy and exhibited a decrease in gastrocnemius weight and skeletal muscle cross-sectional area. In addition, the HDAC2 protein levels were significantly decreased while the levels of atrophy-associated markers, including MURF1 and MAFbx, and senescence-associated markers, including P53 and P21, were significantly increased in the gastrocnemius muscle. In vitro, the exposure of C2C12 cells to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) significantly increased the MAFbx and MURF1 protein levels and decreased the HDAC2 protein levels. Moreover, overexpression of HDAC2 significantly ameliorated CSE-induced atrophy and senescence and reversed the increased MURF1, MAFbx, P53, and P21 expression in C2C12 cells. In addition, CSE treatment significantly increased the IKK and NF-κB p65 protein levels, and PTDC (an NF-kB inhibitor) ameliorated atrophy and senescence. Conclusion Our findings suggest that HDAC2 plays an important role in CS-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence, possibly through the NF-κB pathway.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26092676. [PMID: 34063650 PMCID: PMC8124993 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26092676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Coffee has been shown to attenuate sarcopenia, the age-associated muscle atrophy. Myostatin (MSTN), a member of the TGF-β growth/differentiation factor superfamily, is a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, and MSTN-inhibition increases muscle mass or prevents muscle atrophy. This study, thus, investigated the presence of MSTN-inhibitory capacity in coffee extracts. The ethanol-extract of coffee silverskin (CSE) but not other extracts demonstrated anti-MSTN activity in a pGL3-(CAGA)12-luciferase reporter gene assay. CSE also blocked Smad3 phosphorylation induced by MSTN but not by GDF11 or Activin A in Western blot analysis, demonstrating its capacity to block the binding of MSTN to its receptor. Oral administration of CSE significantly increased forelimb muscle mass and grip strength in mice. Using solvent partitioning, solid-phase chromatography, and reverse-phase HPLC, two peaks having MSTN-inhibitory capacity were purified from CSE. The two peaks were identified as βN-arachinoyl−5-hydroxytryptamide (C20−5HT) and βN-behenoyl−5-hydroxytryptamide (C22−5HT) using mass spectrometry and NMR analysis. In summary, the results show that CSE has the MSTN-inhibitory capacity, and C20−5HT and C22−5HT are active components of CSE-suppressing MSTN activity, suggesting the potential of CSE, C20−5HT, and C22−5HT being developed as agents to combat muscle atrophy and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a common skeletal disease related to myogenic disorders and muscle atrophy. Current clinical management has limited effectiveness. We sought to investigate the role of miR-1290 in myoblast differentiation and muscle atrophy. METHODS By transfecting miR-1290 into C2C12 cells, we investigated whether miR-1290 regulates myogenesis and myotube atrophy via AKT/P70 signaling pathway. MHC staining was performed to assess myoblast differentiation. Differentiation-related MHC, Myod, and Myog protein levels, and atrophy-related MuRF1 and atrogin-1 were explored by western blot. An LPS-induced muscle atrophy rat model was developed. RT-PCR was conducted to analyze miR-1290 serum levels in muscle atrophy patients and normal controls (NCs). RESULTS The miR-1290 transfection increased MHC-positive cells and MHC, Myod, and Myog protein levels in the miR-1290 transfection group, demonstrating that miR-1290 promoted C2C12 myoblast differentiation. Myotube diameter in the miR-1290 transfection group was higher than in the TNF-α-induced model group. Western blot analysis showed decreased MuRF1 and atrogin-1 levels in the miR-1290 transfection group compared with the model group, demonstrating that miR-1290 protected against myoblast cellular atrophy. Luciferase assay and western blot analysis showed that miR-1290 regulation was likely caused by AKT/p70/FOXO3 phosphorylation activation. In the LPS-induced muscle atrophy rat model, miR-1290 mimics ameliorated gastrocnemius muscle loss and increased muscle fiber cross-sectional area. Clinically, miR-1290 serum level was significantly decreased in muscle atrophy patients. CONCLUSIONS We found that miR-1290 enhances myoblast differentiation and inhibits myotube atrophy through Akt/p70/FoxO3 signaling in vitro and in vivo. In addition, miR-1290 may be a potential therapeutic target for sarcopenia treatment.

Abstract
In the past 20 years, myostatin, a negative regulator of muscle mass, has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in muscular dystrophies and other conditions. Preclinical studies have shown potential for increasing muscular mass and ameliorating the pathological features of dystrophic muscle by the inhibition of myostatin in various ways. However, hardly any clinical trials have proven to translate the promising results from the animal models into patient populations. We present the background for myostatin regulation, clinical and preclinical results and discuss why translation from animal models to patients is difficult. Based on this, we put the clinical relevance of future antimyostatin treatment into perspective.

Abstract
Dysfunction of locomotor muscles is frequent in chronic pulmonary diseases and strongly associated with worse outcomes including higher mortality. Although these associations have been corroborated over the last decades, there is poor mechanistic understanding of the process, in part due to the lack of adequate animal models to investigate this process. Most of the mechanistic research has so far been accomplished using relevant individual stimuli such as low oxygen or high CO2 delivered to otherwise healthy animals as surrogates of the phenomena occurring in the clinical setting. This review advocates for the development of a syndromic model in which skeletal muscle dysfunction is investigated as a comorbidity of a well-validated pulmonary disease model, which could potentially allow discovering meaningful mechanisms and pathways and lead to more substantial progress to treat this devastating condition.

Abstract
Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are common musculoskeletal comorbidities of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that seriously affect the quality of life and prognosis of the patient. In addition to spatially mechanical interactions, muscle and bone can also serve as endocrine organs by producing myokines and osteokines to regulate muscle and bone functions, respectively. As positive and negative regulators of skeletal muscles, the myokines irisin and myostatin not only promote/inhibit the differentiation and growth of skeletal muscles, but also regulate bone metabolism. Both irisin and myostatin have been shown to be dysregulated and associated with exercise and skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD. During exercise, skeletal muscles produce a large amount of IL-6 which acts as a myokine, exerting at least two different conflicting functions depending on physiological or pathological conditions. Remarkably, IL-6 is highly expressed in COPD, and considered to be a biomarker of systemic inflammation, which is associated with both sarcopenia and bone loss. For osteokines, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), a classical regulator of bone metabolism, was recently found to play a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy induced by chronic cigarette smoke (CS) exposure. In this focused review, we described evidence for myokines and osteokines in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle dysfunction/sarcopenia and osteoporosis in COPD, and proposed muscle-bone crosstalk as an important mechanism underlying the coexistence of muscle and bone diseases in COPD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW During a soccer season, athletes tend to play intense and light matches such as decisive and qualifying games. The amount of muscle glycogen stores is a determining factor of performance during exercise, and manipulation of carbohydrate intake during the soccer season to enhance muscle glycogen stores can improve the performance of elite soccer players. The purpose of this review is to provide a holistic view of the periodization of carbohydrates and their effects on sports performance, based on what the literature recommends for the periodization of carbohydrates for endurance athletes, and of muscle glycogen recovery and compensation among professional soccer players. RECENT FINDINGS The ingestion of large amounts of carbohydrates (CHO;10 g/kg of body weight (BW)/day) is important 36 h before a match for the elite soccer player to ensure muscle glycogen supercompensation. In addition, elite soccer players should intake 1 to 1.5 g/kg BW/h within the first 4 h after a soccer game to maximize glycogen resynthesis. However, the season is comprised of away and home games that require different intensities; thus, soccer players need to periodize CHO intake based on evidence-based recommendations such as "train low," "train low, compete high," and/or "sleep low." The goal is to induce training adaptations by alternating with high or low CHO availability based on seasons, matches, and training intensities. The strategy can result in improved performance during games. Periodizing the consumption of carbohydrates, based on the intensity of training and matches, should include more carbohydrates when the matches require higher intensity and fewer carbohydrates when they require lower intensity; this is a strategy that will improve the performance of elite soccer athletes.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a major comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). Whether deficient muscle repair mechanisms and regeneration exist in the vastus lateralis (VL) of sarcopenic COPD remains debatable. In the VL of control subjects and severe COPD patients with/without sarcopenia, satellite cells (SCs) were identified (immunofluorescence, specific antibodies, anti-Pax-7, and anti-Myf-5): activated (Pax-7+/Myf-5+), quiescent/regenerative potential (Pax-7+/Myf-5-), and total SCs, nuclear activation (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling [TUNEL]), and muscle fiber type (morphometry and slow- and fast-twitch, and hybrid fibers), muscle damage (hematoxylin-eosin staining), muscle regeneration markers (Pax-7, Myf-5, myogenin, and MyoD), and myostatin levels were identified. Compared to controls, in VL of sarcopenic COPD patients, myostatin content, activated SCs, hybrid fiber proportions, TUNEL-positive cells, internal nuclei, and muscle damage significantly increased, while quadriceps muscle strength, numbers of Pax-7+/Myf-5- and slow- and fast-twitch, and hybrid myofiber areas decreased. In the VL of sarcopenic and nonsarcopenic patients, TUNEL-positive cells were greater, whereas muscle regeneration marker expression was lower than in controls. In VL of severe COPD patients regardless of the sarcopenia level, the muscle regeneration process is triggered as identified by SC activation and increased internal nuclei. Nonetheless, a lower regenerative potential along with significant alterations in muscle phenotype and damage, and increased myostatin were prominently seen in sarcopenic COPD.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common and serious complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Oxidative stress and autophagy are the primary molecular mechanisms involved in muscle atrophy. Calycosin, a major component of Radix astragali, exerts anti‐inflammatory, anti‐oxidative stress and anti‐autophagy effects. We investigated the effects and mechanisms of calycosin on skeletal muscle atrophy in vivo and in vitro. 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) rats were used as a model of CKD. We evaluated bodyweight and levels of serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum albumin (Alb). H&E staining, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress biomarkers, autophagosome and LC3A/B levels were performed and evaluated in skeletal muscle of CKD rat. Calycosin treatment improved bodyweight and renal function, alleviated muscle atrophy (decreased the levels of MuRF1 and MAFbx), increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) activity and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in skeletal muscle of CKD rats. Importantly, calycosin reduced autophagosome formation, down‐regulated the expression of LC3A/B and ATG7 through inhibition of AMPK and FOXO3a, and increased SKP2, which resulted in decreased expression of CARM1, H3R17me2a. Similar results were observed in C2C12 cells treated with TNF‐α and calycosin. Our findings showed that calycosin inhibited oxidative stress and autophagy in CKD induced skeletal muscle atrophy and in TNF‐α‐induced C2C12 myotube atrophy, partially by regulating the AMPK/SKP2/CARM1 signalling pathway.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a key growth factor that regulates both anabolic and catabolic pathways in skeletal muscle. IGF-1 increases skeletal muscle protein synthesis via PI3K/Akt/mTOR and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathways. PI3K/Akt can also inhibit FoxOs and suppress transcription of E3 ubiquitin ligases that regulate ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS)-mediated protein degradation. Autophagy is likely inhibited by IGF-1 via mTOR and FoxO signaling, although the contribution of autophagy regulation in IGF-1-mediated inhibition of skeletal muscle atrophy remains to be determined. Evidence has suggested that IGF-1/Akt can inhibit muscle atrophy-inducing cytokine and myostatin signaling via inhibition of the NF-κΒ and Smad pathways, respectively. Several miRNAs have been found to regulate IGF-1 signaling in skeletal muscle, and these miRs are likely regulated in different pathological conditions and contribute to the development of muscle atrophy. IGF-1 also potentiates skeletal muscle regeneration via activation of skeletal muscle stem (satellite) cells, which may contribute to muscle hypertrophy and/or inhibit atrophy. Importantly, IGF-1 levels and IGF-1R downstream signaling are suppressed in many chronic disease conditions and likely result in muscle atrophy via the combined effects of altered protein synthesis, UPS activity, autophagy, and muscle regeneration.

Smoking history: relationships with inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, body composition, muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary capacity in current smokers. J Bras Pneumol 2020; 46:e20180353.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationships that smoking history has with inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, body composition, muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary capacity in current smokers. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study involving 65 smokers (age range: 18-60 years). On three non-consecutive days, each participant was evaluated in terms of smoking history, pre-existing comorbidities, lung function (by spirometry), peripheral muscle strength (by dynamometry), body composition (by bioelectrical impedance analysis), levels of metabolic/inflammatory markers, and maximum cardiopulmonary capacity (by treadmill exercise test). We evaluated the relationships that smoking history has with inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, body composition, muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary capacity, using logarithmic transformation of the data and calculating Pearson's correlation coefficient and for partial correlations adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and comorbidities. To identify the influence of smoking history on pre-existing comorbidities, we used a logistic regression model adjusted for age, BMI, and duration of smoking. RESULTS Smoking history correlated significantly, albeit weakly, with triglyceride level (r = 0.317; p = 0.005), monocyte count (r = 0.308; p = 0.013), and waist circumference (r = 0.299; p = 0.017). However, those correlations did not retain their significance in the adjusted analysis. In the logistic regression model, smoking more than 20 cigarettes/day correlated significantly with the presence of metabolic diseases (OR = 0.31; 95% CI: 1.009-1.701; p = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS In this sample of smokers, smoking history correlated positively with the triglyceride level, the monocyte count, and waist circumference. The prevalence of metabolic disease was highest in those who smoked more than 20 cigarettes/day.

Abstract
High CO2 retention, or hypercapnia, is associated with worse outcomes in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. Skeletal muscle wasting is also an independent predictor of poor outcomes in patients with acute and chronic pulmonary diseases. Although previous evidence indicates that high CO2 accelerates skeletal muscle catabolism via AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase)-FoxO3a-MuRF1 (E3-ubiquitin ligase muscle RING finger protein 1), little is known about the role of high CO2 in regulating skeletal muscle anabolism. In the present study, we investigated the potential role of high CO2 in attenuating skeletal muscle protein synthesis. We found that locomotor muscles from patients with chronic CO2 retention demonstrated depressed ribosomal gene expression in comparison with locomotor muscles from non-CO2-retaining individuals, and analysis of the muscle proteome of normo- and hypercapnic mice indicates reduction of important components of ribosomal structure and function. Indeed, mice chronically kept under a high-CO2 environment show evidence of skeletal muscle downregulation of ribosomal biogenesis and decreased protein synthesis as measured by the incorporation of puromycin into skeletal muscle. Hypercapnia did not regulate the mTOR pathway, and rapamycin-induced deactivation of mTOR did not cause a decrease in ribosomal gene expression. Loss-of-function studies in cultured myotubes showed that AMPKα2 regulates CO2-mediated reductions in ribosomal gene expression and protein synthesis. Although previous evidence has implicated TIF1A (transcription initiation factor-1α) and KDM2A (lysine-specific demethylase 2A) in AMPK-driven regulation of ribosomal gene expression, we found that these mediators were not required in the high CO2-induced depressed protein anabolism. Our research supports future studies targeting ribosomal biogenesis and protein synthesis to alleviate the effects of high CO2 on skeletal muscle turnover.

Abstract
Muscle loss is an important feature that occurs in multiple pathologies including osteoarthritis (OA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and type II diabetes (T2D). Despite differences in pathogenesis and disease-related complications, there are reasons to believe that some fundamental underlying mechanisms are inherent to the muscle wasting process, irrespective of the pathology. Recent evidence shows that inflammation, either local or systemic, contributes to the modulation of muscle mass and/or muscle strength, via an altered molecular profile in muscle tissue. However, it remains ambiguous to which extent and via which mechanisms inflammatory signaling affects muscle mass in disease. Therefore, the objective of the present review is to discuss the role of inflammation on skeletal muscle anabolism, catabolism and functionality in three pathologies that are characterized by an eventual loss in muscle mass (and muscle strength), i.e. OA, COPD and T2D. In OA and COPD, most rodent models confirmed that systemic (COPD) or muscle (OA) inflammation directly induces muscle loss or muscle dysfunctionality. However, in a patient population, the association between inflammation and muscular maladaptations are more ambiguous. For example, in T2D patients, systemic inflammation is associated with muscle loss whereas in OA patients this link has not consistently been established. T2D rodent models revealed that increased levels of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and a decreased mTORC1 activation play a key role in muscle atrophy, but it remains to be elucidated whether AGEs and mTORC1 are interconnected and contribute to muscle loss in T2D patients. Generally, if any, associations between inflammation and muscle are mainly based on observational and cross-sectional data. There is definitely a need for longitudinal evidence through well-powered randomized control trials that take into account confounders such as age, disease-phenotypes, comorbidities, physical (in) activity etc. This will allow to improve our understanding of the complex interaction between inflammatory signaling and muscle mass loss and hence contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies to combat muscle wasting in these diseases.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) skeletal muscle dysfunction is a prevalent malady that significantly affects patients’ prognosis and quality of life. Although the study of this disease has attracted considerable attention, a definite animal model is yet to be established. This study investigates whether smoke exposure could lead to the development of a COPD skeletal muscle dysfunction model in rats. Methods Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into model (MG, n = 8) and control groups (CG, n = 6). The MG was exposed to cigarette smoke for 16 weeks while the CG was not. The body weight and forelimb grip strength of rats were monitored monthly. The pulmonary function and the strength of tibialis anterior muscle were assessed in vitro and compared after establishing the model. The histological changes in lung and gastrocnemius muscles were observed. The expressions of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were detected by ELISA, while the expressions of Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 in the gastrocnemius muscle were determined by Western blotting. Results Smoke exposure slowly increases the body weight and forelimb grip strength of MG rats, compared to CG rats. However, it significantly decreases the pulmonary ventilation function and the skeletal muscle contractility of the MG in vitro. Histologically, the lung tissues of MG show typical pathological manifestations of emphysema, while the skeletal muscles present muscular atrophy. The expressions of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in MG rats are significantly higher than those measured in CG rats. Increased levels of Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 were also detected in the gastrocnemius muscle tissue of MG. Conclusion Progressive smoking exposure decreases the contractile function of skeletal muscles, leading to muscular atrophy. It also increases the expressions of inflammatory and muscle protein degradation factors in COPD rats. This indicates that smoke exposure could be used to establish a COPD skeletal muscle dysfunction model in rats.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a major comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other pulmonary conditions. Chronic CO2 retention, or hypercapnia, also occur in some of these patients. Both muscle dysfunction and hypercapnia associate with higher mortality in these populations. Over the last years, we have established a mechanistic link between hypercapnia and skeletal muscle dysfunction, which is regulated by AMPK and causes depressed anabolism via reduced ribosomal biogenesis and accelerated catabolism via proteasomal degradation. In this review, we discuss the main findings linking AMPK with hypercapnic pulmonary disease both in the lungs and skeletal muscles, and also outline potential avenues for future research in the area based on knowledge gaps and opportunities to expand mechanistic research with translational implications.

Abstract
Exercise training as part of pulmonary rehabilitation is arguably the most effective intervention to improve tolerance to physical exertion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Owing to the fact that exercise training has modest effects on exertional ventilation, operating lung volumes and respiratory muscle performance, improving locomotor muscle structure and function are key targets for pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD. In the current concise review, we initially discuss whether patients’ muscles are exposed to deleterious factors. After presenting corroboratory evidence on this regard (e.g., oxidative stress, inflammation, hypoxemia, inactivity, and medications), we outline their effects on muscle macro- and micro-structure and related functional properties. We then finalize by addressing the potential beneficial consequences of different training strategies on these muscle-centered outcomes. This review provides, therefore, an up-to-date outline of the rationale for rehabilitative exercise training approaches focusing on the locomotor muscles in this patient population.

Abstract
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually develop skeletal muscle dysfunction, which represents a major comorbidity in these patients and is strongly associated with mortality and other poor outcomes. Although clinical data indicates that accelerated protein degradation and metabolic disruption are common associations of muscle dysfunction in COPD, there is very limited data on the mechanisms regulating the process, in part, due to the lack of research performed on a validated animal model of pulmonary emphysema. This model deficiency complicates the translational value of data generated with highly reductionist settings. Here, we use an established transgenic animal model of COPD based on inducible IL-13-driven pulmonary emphysema (IL-13TG) to interrogate the mechanisms of skeletal muscle dysfunction. Skeletal muscles from these emphysematous mice develop most features present in COPD patients, including atrophy, decreased oxygen consumption, and reduced force-generation capacity. Analysis of muscle proteome indicates downregulation of succinate dehydrogenase C (SDH-C), which correlates with reduced enzymatic activity, also consistent with previous clinical observations. Ontology terms identified with human data, such as ATP binding/bioenergetics are also downregulated in this animal's skeletal muscles. Moreover, chronic exercise can partially restore muscle mass, metabolic and force-generation capacity, and SDH activity in COPD mice. We conclude that this animal model of COPD/emphysema is an adequate platform to further investigate mechanisms of muscle dysfunction in this setting and demonstrates multiple approaches that can be used to address specific mechanisms regulating this process.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a relevant comorbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mechanistic research in the area has so far been accomplished with models based on specific exposures to otherwise healthy animals, and no investigation using an established and validated animal model of COPD has been accomplished. We present an animal model of COPD that was previously shown to recapitulate pulmonary functional and histologic features present in patients with COPD, and demonstrates most of the features present in patients with pulmonary emphysema-associated muscle dysfunction, which we proposed as an adequate tool to develop mechanistic research in the area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed at investigating the therapeutic effect of Salidroside on skeletal muscle atrophy in a rat model of cigarette smoking-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its potential mechanisms. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomized, and treated intraperitoneally (IP) with vehicle (injectable water) or a low, medium or high dose of Salidroside, followed by exposure to cigarette smoking daily for 16 weeks. A healthy control received vehicle injection and air exposure. Their lung function, body weights and gastrocnemius (GN) weights, grip strength and cross-section area (CSA) of individual muscular fibers in the GN were measured. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) in serum and GN tissues as well as myostatin and myogenin expression in GN tissues were measured. RESULTS In comparison with that in the healthy control, long-term cigarette smoking induced emphysema, significantly impaired lung function, reduced body and GN weights and CSA values in rats, accompanied by significantly increased levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and MDA, but decreased levels of SOD and GSH in serum and GN tissues. Furthermore, cigarette smoking significantly up-regulated myostatin expression, but down-regulated myogenin expression in GN tissues. Salidroside treatment decreased emphysema, significantly ameliorated lung function, increased antioxidant, but reduced MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and GN tissues of rats, accompanied by decreased myostain, but increased myogenin expression in GN tissues. CONCLUSION Salidroside mitigates the long-term cigarette smoking-induced emphysema and skeletal muscle atrophy in rats by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory responses and regulating muscle-specific transcription factor expression.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum boreale Makino essential oil (CBMEO) has diverse biological activities including a skin regenerating effect. However, its role in muscle atrophy remains unknown. This study explored the effects of CBMEO and its active ingredients on skeletal muscle atrophy using in vitro and in vivo models of muscle atrophy. CBMEO reversed the size decrease of L6 myoblasts under starvation. Among the eight monoterpene compounds of CBMEO without cytotoxicity for L6 cells, sabinene induced predominant recovery of reductions of myotube diameters under starvation. Sabinene diminished the elevated E3 ubiquitin ligase muscle ring-finger protein-1 (MuRF-1) expression and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylations in starved myotubes. Moreover, sabinene decreased the increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in myotubes under starvation. The ROS inhibitor antagonized expression of MuRF-1 and phosphorylation of MAPKs, which were elevated in starved myotubes. In addition, levels of muscle fiber atrophy and MuRF-1 expression in gastrocnemius from fasted rats were reduced after administration of sabinene. These findings demonstrate that sabinene, a bioactive component from CBMEO, may attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy by regulating the activation mechanism of ROS-mediated MAPK/MuRF-1 pathways in starved myotubes, probably leading to the reverse of reduced muscle fiber size in fasted rats.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction occurs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and affects both ventilatory and nonventilatory muscle groups. It represents a very important comorbidity that is associated with poor quality of life and reduced survival. It results from a complex combination of functional, metabolic, and anatomical alterations leading to suboptimal muscle work. Muscle atrophy, altered fiber type and metabolism, and chest wall remodeling, in the case of the respiratory muscles, are relevant etiological contributors to this process. Muscle dysfunction worsens during COPD exacerbations, rendering patients progressively less able to perform activities of daily living, and it is also associated with poor outcomes. Muscle recovery measures consisting of a combination of pulmonary rehabilitation, optimized nutrition, and other strategies are associated with better prognosis when administered in stable patients as well as after exacerbations. A deeper understanding of this process' pathophysiology and clinical relevance will facilitate the use of measures to alleviate its effects and potentially improve patients' outcomes. In this review, a general overview of skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD is offered to highlight its relevance and magnitude to expert practitioners and scientists as well as to the average clinician dealing with patients with chronic respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Background Cachexia occurs in individuals affected by chronic diseases in which systemic inflammation leads to fatigue, debilitation, decreased physical activity and sarcopenia. The pathogenesis of cachexia-associated sarcopenia is not fully understood. Objectives The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the current evidence on genes expressed in the skeletal muscles of humans with chronic disease-associated cachexia and/or sarcopenia (cases) compared to controls and to assess the strength of such evidence. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE and CINAHL using three concepts: cachexia/sarcopenia and associated symptoms, gene expression, and skeletal muscle. Results Eighteen genes were studied in at least three research articles, for a total of 27 articles analyzed in this review. Participants were approximately 60 years of age and majority male; sample size was highly variable. Use of comparison groups, matching criteria, muscle biopsy location, and definitions of cachexia and sarcopenia were not homogenous. None of the studies fulfilled all four criteria used to assess the quality of molecular analysis, with only one study powered on the outcome of gene expression. FOXO1 was the only gene significantly increased in cases versus healthy controls. No study found a significant decrease in expression of genes involved in autophagy, apoptosis or inflammation in cases versus controls. Inconsistent or non-significant findings were reported for genes involved in protein degradation, muscle differentiation/growth, insulin/insulin growth factor-1 or mitochondrial transcription. Conclusion Currently available evidence on gene expression in the skeletal muscles of humans with chronic disease-associated cachexia and/or sarcopenia is not powered appropriately and is not homogenous; therefore, it is difficult to compare results across studies and diseases.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common side effect of most human diseases. Muscle loss is not only detrimental for the quality of life but it also dramatically impairs physiological processes of the organism and decreases the efficiency of medical treatments. While hypothesized for years, the existence of an atrophying programme common to all pathologies is still incompletely solved despite the discovery of several actors and key regulators of muscle atrophy. More than a decade ago, the discovery of a set of genes, whose expression at the mRNA levels were similarly altered in different catabolic situations, opened the way of a new concept: the presence of atrogenes, i.e. atrophy-related genes. Importantly, the atrogenes are referred as such on the basis of their mRNA content in atrophying muscles, the regulation at the protein level being sometimes more complicate to elucidate. It should be noticed that the atrogenes are markers of atrophy and that their implication as active inducers of atrophy is still an open question for most of them. While the atrogene family has grown over the years, it has mostly been incremented based on data coming from rodent models. Whether the rodent atrogenes are valid for humans still remain to be established. An "atrogene" was originally defined as a gene systematically up- or down-regulated in several catabolic situations. Even if recent works often restrict this notion to the up-regulation of a limited number of proteolytic enzymes, it is important to keep in mind the big picture view. In this review, we provide an update of the validated and potential rodent atrogenes and the metabolic pathways they belong, and based on recent work, their relevance in human physio-pathological situations. We also propose a more precise definition of the atrogenes that integrates rapid recovery when catabolic stimuli are stopped or replaced by anabolic ones.

Abstract
Important features of both stable and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. Limb muscle dysfunction during an exacerbation has been linked to various adverse outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization, readmission, and mortality. The contributing factors leading to muscle dysfunction are similar to those seen in stable COPD: disuse, nutrition/energy balance, hypercapnia, hypoxemia, electrolyte derangements, inflammation, and drugs (i.e., glucocorticoids). These factors may be the trigger for a downstream cascade of local inflammatory changes, pathway process alterations, and structural degradation. Ultimately, the clinical effects can be wide ranging and include reduced limb muscle strength. Current therapies, such as pulmonary/physical rehabilitation, have limited impact because of low participation rates. Recently, novel drugs have been developed in similar disorders, and learnings from these studies can be used as a foundation to facilitate discovery in patients hospitalized with a COPD exacerbation. Nevertheless, investigators should approach this patient population with knowledge of the limitations of each intervention. In this Concise Clinical Review, we provide an overview of acute muscle dysfunction in patients hospitalized with acute exacerbation of COPD and a strategic approach to drug development in this setting.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a highly vascularized tissue that can secrete proteins called myokines. These muscle-secreted factors exert biological functions in muscle itself (autocrine effect) or on short- or long-distant organs (paracrine/endocrine effects) and control processes such as metabolism, angiogenesis, or inflammation. Widely differing diseases ranging from genetic myopathies to cancers are emerging as causing dysregulated secretion of myokines from skeletal muscles. Myokines are also involved in the control of muscle size and may be important to be restored to normal levels to alleviate muscle wasting in various conditions, such as cancer, untreated diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, aging, or heart failure. Interestingly, many myokines are induced by exercise (muscle-derived exerkines) and some even by specific types of physical activity, but more studies are needed on this issue. Most exercise-induced myokines travel throughout the body by means of extracellular vesicles. Restoring myokines by physical activity may be added to the list of mechanisms by which exercise exerts preventative or curative effects against a large number of diseases, including the deleterious muscle wasting they may cause. Extending our understanding about which myokines could be usefully restored in certain diseases might help in prescribing more tailored exercise or myokine-based drugs.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle wasting is a common clinical feature of many chronic diseases and also occurs in response to single acute events. The accompanying loss of strength can lead to significant disability, increased care needs and have profound negative effects on quality of life. As muscle is the most abundant source of amino acids in the body, it appears to function as a buffer for fuel and substrates that can be used to repair damage elsewhere and to feed the immune system. In essence, the fundamentals of muscle wasting are simple: less muscle is made than is broken down. However, although well-described mechanisms modulate muscle protein turnover, significant individual differences in the amount of muscle lost in the presence of a given severity of disease complicate the understanding of underlying mechanisms and suggest that individuals have different sensitivities to signals for muscle loss. Furthermore, the rate at which muscle protein is turned over under normal conditions means that clinically significant muscle loss can occur with changes in the rate of protein synthesis and/or breakdown that are too small to be measurable. Consequently, the changes in expression of factors regulating muscle turnover required to cause a decline in muscle mass are small and, except in cases of rapid wasting, there is no consistent pattern of change in the expression of factors that regulate muscle mass. MicroRNAs are fine tuners of cell phenotype and are therefore ideally suited to cause the subtle changes in proteome required to tilt the balance between synthesis and degradation in a way that causes clinically significant wasting. Herein we present a model in which muscle loss as a consequence of disease in non-muscle tissue is modulated by a set of microRNAs, the muscle expression of which is associated with severity of disease in the non-muscle tissue. These microRNAs alter fundamental biological processes including the synthesis of ribosomes and mitochondria leading to reduced protein synthesis and increased protein breakdown, thereby freeing amino acids from the muscle. We argue that the variability in muscle loss observed in the human population arises from at least two sources. The first is from pre-existing or disease-induced variation in the expression of microRNAs controlling the sensitivity of muscle to the atrophic signal and the second is from the expression of microRNAs from imprinted loci (i.e. only expressed from the maternally or paternally inherited allele) and may control the rate of myonuclear recruitment. In the absence of disease, these factors do not correlate with muscle mass, since there is no challenge to the established balance. However, in the presence of such a challenge, these microRNAs determine the rate of decline for a given disease severity. Together these mechanisms provide novel insight into the loss of muscle mass and its variation in the human population. The involvement of imprinted loci also suggests that genes that regulate early development also contribute to the ability of individuals to resist muscle loss in response to disease.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction leads to reduction in activity in patients with COPD. As an essential part of the management of COPD, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) alleviates dyspnea and fatigue, improves exercise tolerance and health-related quality of life, and reduces hospital admissions and mortality for COPD patients. Exercise is the key component of PR, which is composed of exercise assessment and training therapy. To evaluate PR’s application in clinical practice, this article summarizes the common methods of exercise measurement and exercise training for patients with COPD. Exercise assessments should calculate patients’ symptoms, endurance, strength, and health-related quality of life. After calculation, detailed exercise therapies should be developed, which may involve endurance, strength, and respiratory training. The detailed exercise training of each modality is mentioned in this review. Although various methods and therapies of PR have been used in COPD patients, developing an individualized exercise training prescription is the target. More studies are warranted to support the evidence and examine the effects of long-term benefits of exercise training for patients with COPD in each stage.

Abstract
The proteolytic autophagy pathway is enhanced in the lower limb muscles of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to regulate autophagy in the skeletal muscles, but the role of oxidative stress in the muscle autophagy of patients with COPD is unknown. We used cultured myoblasts and myotubes from the quadriceps of eight healthy subjects and twelve patients with COPD (FEV1% predicted: 102.0% and 32.0%, respectively; p < 0.0001). We compared the autophagosome formation, the expression of autophagy markers, and the autophagic flux in healthy subjects and the patients with COPD, and we evaluated the effects of the 3-methyladenine (3-MA) autophagy inhibitor on the atrophy of COPD myotubes. Autophagy was also assessed in COPD myotubes treated with an antioxidant molecule, ascorbic acid. Autophagosome formation was increased in COPD myoblasts and myotubes (p = 0.011; p < 0.001), and the LC3 2/LC3 1 ratio (p = 0.002), SQSTM1 mRNA and protein expression (p = 0.023; p = 0.007), BNIP3 expression (p = 0.031), and autophagic flux (p = 0.002) were higher in COPD myoblasts. Inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA increased the COPD myotube diameter (p < 0.001) to a level similar to the diameter of healthy subject myotubes. Treatment of COPD myotubes with ascorbic acid decreased ROS concentration (p < 0.001), ROS-induced protein carbonylation (p = 0.019), the LC3 2/LC3 1 ratio (p = 0.037), the expression of SQSTM1 (p < 0.001) and BNIP3 (p < 0.001), and increased the COPD myotube diameter (p < 0.001). Thus, autophagy signaling is enhanced in cultured COPD muscle cells. Furthermore, the oxidative stress level contributes to the regulation of autophagy, which is involved in the atrophy of COPD myotubes in vitro.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associates with several extra-pulmonary effects. Muscle dysfunction and wasting is one of the most prominent extra-pulmonary effects and contributes to exercise limitation and health related quality of life (HRQoL), morbidity as well as mortality. The loss of muscle mass is characterised by an impaired balance between protein synthesis (anabolism) and protein breakdown (catabolism) which relates to nutritional disturbances, muscle disuse and the presence of a systemic inflammation, among other factors. Current approaches to reverse skeletal muscle dysfunction and wasting attain only modest improvements. The development of new therapeutic strategies aiming at improving skeletal muscle dysfunction and wasting are needed. This requires a better understanding of the underlying molecular pathways responsible for these abnormalities. In this review we update recent research on protein metabolism, nutritional depletion as well as physical (in)activity in relation to muscle wasting and dysfunction in patients with COPD. We also discuss the role of nutritional supplementation and exercise training as strategies to re-establish the disrupted balance of protein metabolism in the muscle of patients with COPD. Future areas of research and clinical practice directions are also addressed.

Abstract
Autophagy serves a role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to compare the autophagy levels in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy individuals and to assess the association between autophagy and the clinical parameters of COPD. Samples of peripheral blood from 20 patients with stable COPD and 20 healthy controls were collected. PBMCs were harvested using Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. Levels of the autophagy‑associated proteins ubiquitin‑binding protein p62 (p62), microtubule‑associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A (LC3I/II) and beclin‑1 in PBMCs were detected by western blotting. Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay kits were used to detect the serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)‑6, IL‑8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α. Associations between the levels of autophagy and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec % predicted (FEV1%) and pro‑inflammatory factors were assessed. Western blotting demonstrated that the protein expression of p62 was decreased, but LC3II/I and beclin‑1 levels increased in patients with COPD compared with healthy controls. Serum levels of IL‑6, IL‑8 and TNF‑α were increased in patients with COPD. The extent of PBMC autophagy was negatively correlated with FEV1% predicted, but positively correlated with levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines. The levels of autophagy in PBMCs in patients with COPD were increased and were negatively correlated with FEV1% predicted and positively correlated with circulating levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines. Autophagy may serve a role as a biomarker of the severity of COPD or as a therapeutic target for treatment of COPD.
