Succinate dehydrogenase-complex II regulates skeletal muscle cellular respiration and contractility but not muscle mass in genetically induced pulmonary emphysema. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 10:eado8549.

Abstract
Reduced skeletal muscle mass and oxidative capacity coexist in patients with pulmonary emphysema and are independently associated with higher mortality. If reduced cellular respiration contributes to muscle atrophy in that setting remains unknown. Using a mouse with genetically induced pulmonary emphysema that recapitulates muscle dysfunction, we found that reduced activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a hallmark of its myopathic changes. We generated an inducible, muscle-specific SDH knockout mouse that demonstrates lower mitochondrial oxygen consumption, myofiber contractility, and exercise endurance. Respirometry analyses show that in vitro complex I respiration is unaffected by loss of SDH subunit C in muscle mitochondria, which is consistent with the pulmonary emphysema animal data. SDH knockout initially causes succinate accumulation associated with a down-regulated transcriptome but modest proteome effects. Muscle mass, myofiber type composition, and overall body mass constituents remain unaltered in the transgenic mice. Thus, while SDH regulates myofiber respiration in experimental pulmonary emphysema, it does not control muscle mass or other body constituents.

Abstract
Over the last years, the use of peripheral blood-derived big datasets in combination with machine learning technology has accelerated the understanding, prediction, and management of pulmonary and critical care conditions. The goal of this article is to provide readers with an introduction to the methods and applications of blood omics and other multiplex-based technologies in the pulmonary and critical care medicine setting to better appreciate the current literature in the field. To accomplish that, we provide essential concepts needed to rationalize this approach and introduce readers to the types of molecules that can be obtained from the circulating blood to generate big datasets; elaborate on the differences between bulk, sorted, and single-cell approaches; and the basic analytical pipelines required for clinical interpretation. Examples of peripheral blood-derived big datasets used in recent literature are presented, and limitations of that technology are highlighted to qualify both the current and future value of these methodologies.

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
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-pulmonary emphysema often develop locomotor muscle dysfunction, which entails reduced muscle mass and force-generation capacity and is associated with worse outcomes, including higher mortality. Myogenesis contributes to adult muscle integrity during injury-repair cycles. Injurious events crucially occur in the skeletal muscles of patients with COPD in the setting of exacerbations and infections, which lead to acute decompensations for limited periods of time, after which patients typically fail to recover the baseline status they had before the acute event. Autophagy, which is dysregulated in muscles from patients with COPD, is a key regulator of muscle stem-satellite- cells activation and myogenesis, yet very little research has so far mechanistically investigated the role of autophagy dysregulation in COPD muscles. Using a genetically inducible interleukin-13-driven pulmonary emphysema model leading to muscle dysfunction, and confirmed with a second genetic animal model, we found a significant myogenic dysfunction associated with the reduced proliferative capacity of satellite cells. Transplantation experiments followed by lineage tracing suggest that an intrinsic defect in satellite cells, and not in the COPD environment, plays a dominant role in the observed myogenic dysfunction. RNA sequencing analysis and direct observation of COPD mice satellite cells suggest dysregulated autophagy. Moreover, while autophagy flux experiments with bafilomycin demonstrated deacceleration of autophagosome turnover in COPD mice satellite cells, spermidine-induced autophagy stimulation leads to a higher replication rate and myogenesis in these animals. Our data suggest that pulmonary emphysema causes disrupted myogenesis, which could be improved with stimulation of autophagy and satellite cells activation, leading to an attenuated muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
Patients with pulmonary emphysema often develop locomotor muscle dysfunction, which is independently associated with disability and higher mortality in that population. Muscle dysfunction entails reduced force-generation capacity which partially depends on fibers' oxidative potential, yet very little mechanistic research has focused on muscle respiration in pulmonary emphysema. Using a recently established animal model of pulmonary emphysema-driven skeletal muscle dysfunction, we found downregulation of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit C in association with lower oxygen consumption and fatigue-tolerance in locomotor muscles. Reduced SDH activity has been previously observed in muscles from patients with pulmonary emphysema and we found that SDHC is required to support respiration in cultured muscle cells. Moreover, in-vivo gain of SDH function in emphysema animals muscles resulted in better oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and fatigue tolerance. These changes correlated with a larger number of relatively more oxidative type 2-A and 2X fibers, and a reduced amount of 2B fibers. Our data suggests that SDHC is a key regulator of respiration and fatigability in pulmonary emphysema-driven skeletal muscles, which could be impactful to develop strategies aimed at attenuating this comorbidity.

Abstract
Patients with chronic pulmonary conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often develop skeletal muscle dysfunction, which is strongly and independently associated with poor outcomes including higher mortality. Some of these patients also develop chronic CO2 retention, or hypercapnia, which is also associated with worse prognosis. While muscle dysfunction in these settings involve reduction of muscle mass and disrupted fibers’ metabolism leading to suboptimal muscle work, mechanistic research in the field has been limited by the lack of adequate animal models. Over the last years, we have established a rodent model of COPD-induced skeletal muscle dysfunction that allowed a disaggregated interrogation of the cellular and physiological effects driven by COPD from the ones unique to hypercapnia. We found that while COPD and hypercapnia synergistically contribute to muscle atrophy, they are antagonistic processes regarding fibers respiratory capacity. We propose that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a crucial regulator of CO2 signaling in hypercapnic muscles, which leads to both net protein catabolism and improved mitochondrial respiration to support a transition into a substrate-rich, fuel-efficient metabolic mode that allows muscle cells cope with the CO2 toxicity.

Abstract
Background Reduced body weight at the time of intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with worse survival, and a paradoxical benefit of obesity has been suggested in critical illness. However, no research has addressed the survival effects of disaggregated body constituents of dry weight such as skeletal muscle, fat, and bone density. Methods Single-center, prospective observational cohort study of medical ICU (MICU) patients from an academic institution in the USA. Five hundred and seven patients requiring CT scanning of chest or abdomen within the first 24 h of ICU admission were evaluated with erector spinae muscle (ESM) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) areas and with bone density determinations at the time of ICU admission, which were correlated with clinical outcomes accounting for potential confounders. Results Larger admission ESM area was associated with decreased odds of 6-month mortality (OR per cm2, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94–0.97; p < 0.001) and disability at discharge (OR per cm2, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; p = 0.012). Higher bone density was similarly associated with lower odds of mortality (OR per 100 HU, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.49–0.96; p = 0.027) and disability at discharge (OR per 100 HU, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.37–0.74; p < 0.001). SAT area was not significantly associated with these outcomes’ measures. Multivariable modeling indicated that ESM area remained significantly associated with 6-month mortality and survival after adjusting for other covariates including preadmission comorbidities, albumin, functional independence before admission, severity scores, age, and exercise capacity. Conclusion In our cohort, ICU admission skeletal muscle mass measured with ESM area and bone density were associated with survival and disability at discharge, although muscle area was the only component that remained significantly associated with survival after multivariable adjustments. SAT had no association with the analyzed outcome measures.
