Domest Anim Endocrinol 2024; 88:106847. [PMID: 38479188 DOI: 10.1016/j.domaniend.2024.106847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Cold exposure is a common stressor for newborn goats. Skeletal muscle plays an important role in maintaining whole-body homeostasis of glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of skeletal muscle of newborn goats by cold exposure remains unclear. In this study, we found a significant increase (P < 0.01) in serum glucagon levels after 24 h of cold exposure (COLD, 6°C), while glucose and insulin concentrations were significantly decreased (P < 0.01) compared to room temperature (RT, 25°C). Additionally, we found that cold exposure reduced glycogen content (P < 0.01) in skeletal muscle. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that cold exposure activated skeletal muscle glucose metabolism pathways (including insulin resistance and the insulin signaling pathway) and mitophagy-related pathways. Cold exposure up-regulated the expression of genes involved in fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, promoting skeletal muscle lipid deposition. Notably, cold exposure induced mitophagy in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability in adults. Hypothermic treatment is successful in treating neonatal cerebral ischemia, but its application is restricted in adult patients due to complex management strategies and severe adverse effects. Two homologous RNA-binding proteins, RBM3 and CIRP, are the only known cold-inducible proteins in vertebrates, and their expression levels are robustly elevated by mild to moderate hypothermia. In previous studies, we and others have demonstrated that both RBM3 and CIRP mediate the neuroprotective and neurogenic effects of hypothermia in cell and animal models. However, CIRP can also be detrimental to neurons by triggering neuroinflammatory responses, complicating its post-stroke functions. In this study, we compared the properties of the two cold-inducible RNA-binding proteins after ischemic stroke. Our results indicated that RBM3 expression was stimulated in the ischemic brain of stroke patients, while CIRP expression was not. In an experimental model, RBM3 can ameliorate ischemic-like insult by promoting neuronal survival and eliciting anti-inflammatory responses in activated microglia, while the impact of CIRP was intriguing. Collectively, our data supported the notion that RBM3 may be a more promising therapeutic target than CIRP for treating ischemic stroke. We further demonstrated that zr17-2, a small molecule initially identified to target CIRP, can specifically target RBM3 but not CIRP in microglia. zr17-2 demonstrated anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects after ischemic stroke both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its potential therapeutic value.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Highlight contemporary evidence examining the effects of carbohydrate restriction on the intracellular regulation of muscle mass and anaerobic performance. RECENT FINDINGS Low carbohydrate diets increase fat oxidation and decrease fat mass. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary carbohydrate restriction increases protein oxidation, thereby limiting essential amino acid availability necessary to stimulate optimal muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle recovery. Low carbohydrate feeding for 24 h increases branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) oxidation and reduces myogenic regulator factor transcription compared to mixed-macronutrient feeding. When carbohydrate restriction is maintained for 8 to 12 weeks, the alterations in anabolic signaling, protein synthesis, and myogenesis likely contribute to limited hypertrophic responses to resistance training. The blunted hypertrophic response to resistance training when carbohydrate availability is low does not affect muscle strength, whereas persistently low muscle glycogen does impair anaerobic output during high-intensity sprint and time to exhaustion tests. SUMMARY Dietary carbohydrate restriction increases BCAA oxidation and impairs muscle hypertrophy and anaerobic performance, suggesting athletes who need to perform high-intensity exercise should consider avoiding dietary strategies that restrict carbohydrate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Innate immune responses play essential roles in skeletal muscle recovery after injury. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) contributes to skeletal muscle regeneration by promoting macrophage proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotype transition. Interferon (IFN)-γ induces proinflammatory macrophages that appear to hinder myogenesis in vitro. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that blocking IFN-γ in PD-1 knockout mice may dampen inflammation and promote skeletal muscle regeneration via regulating the macrophage phenotype and neutrophils. METHODS Anti-IFN-γ antibody was administered in PD-1 knockout mice, and cardiotoxin (CTX) injection was performed to induce acute skeletal muscle injury. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to view morphological changes of injured and regenerated skeletal muscle. Masson's trichrome staining was used to assess the degree of fibrosis. Gene expressions of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors, fibrosis-related factors, and myogenic regulator factors were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Changes in macrophage phenotype were examined by western blot and real-time PCR. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the accumulation of proinflammatory macrophages, anti-inflammatory macrophages, and neutrophils. RESULTS IFN-γ blockade in PD-1 knockout mice did not alleviate skeletal muscle damage or improve regeneration following acute cardiotoxin-induced injury. Instead, it exacerbated skeletal muscle inflammation and fibrosis, and impaired regeneration via inhibiting macrophage accumulation, blocking macrophage proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory transition, and enhancing infiltration of neutrophils. CONCLUSION IFN-γ is crucial for efficient skeletal muscle regeneration in the absence of PD-1.

RNA binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) promotes protein kinase B (AKT) activation to enhance glucose metabolism and reduce apoptosis in skeletal muscle of mice under acute cold exposure. Cell Stress Chaperones 2022; 27:603-618.

Abstract
The main danger of cold stress to animals in cold regions is systemic metabolic changes and protein synthesis inhibition. RBM3, an exceptional cold shock protein, is rapidly upregulated in response to hypothermia to resist the adverse effects of cold stress. However, the mechanism of the protective effect and the rapid upregulation of RBM3 remains unclear. O-GlcNAcylation, an atypical O-glycosylation, is precisely regulated only by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) and participates in the signal transduction of multiple cellular stress responses as a "stress and nutrition receptor." Therefore, our study aimed to explore the mechanism of RBM3 regulating glucose metabolism and promoting survival in skeletal muscle under acute cold exposure. Meanwhile, our study verifies whether O-GlcNAcylation mediated by OGT rapidly upregulates RBM3. The blood and skeletal muscle of mice were collected at the end of cold exposure treatment for 0, 2, and 4 h. Changes in levels of RBM3, AKT, glycolysis apoptosis, and OGT were measured. The results show that acute cold exposure upregulated RBM3, OGT, and AKT phosphorylation and increased energy consumption, which enhanced glycolysis and prevent apoptosis. In the 32 °C mild hypothermia model in vitro, overexpression of RBM3 enhanced AKT phosphorylation. Meanwhile, inactivation of AKT by wortmannin resulted in increased apoptosis and decreased glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle under acute cold exposure. In addition, OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation of p65 was confirmed in mouse myoblast cell line (C2C12) cells at mild hypothermia. O-GlcNAcylation level affected p65 activity and nuclear translocation. Compared with wild type (WT) mice, RBM3 and p65 phosphorylation were decreased in specific skeletal muscle Ogt (KO) mice, whereas AKT phosphorylation, glycolysis, and apoptosis were increased. Taken together, O-GlcNAcylation of p65 upregulates RBM3 to promote AKT phosphorylation, enhance glucose metabolism, and reduce apoptosis in skeletal muscle of mice under acute cold exposure.

Abstract
The increased sensitivity of pigs to ambient temperature is due to today’s intensive farming. Frequent climate disasters increase the pressure on healthy pig farming. Min pigs are an indigenous pig breed in China with desirable cold resistance characteristics, and hence are ideal for obtaining cold-resistant pig breeds. Therefore, it is important to discover the molecular mechanisms that are activated in response to cold stress in the Min pig. Here, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of the skeletal muscle of Min pigs under chronic low-temperature acclimation (group A) and acute short cold stress (group B). Cold exposure caused more genes to be upregulated. Totals of 125 and 96 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were generated from groups A and B. Sixteen common upregulated DEGs were screened; these were concentrated in oxidative stress (SRXN1, MAFF), immune and inflammatory responses (ITPKC, AREG, MMP25, FOSL1), the nervous system (RETREG1, GADD45A, RCAN1), lipid metabolism (LRP11, LIPG, ITGA5, AMPD2), solute transport (SLC19A2, SLC28A1, SLCO4A1), and fertility (HBEGF). There were 102 and 73 genes that were specifically differentially expressed in groups A and B, respectively. The altered mRNAs were enriched in immune, endocrine, and cancer pathways. There were 186 and 91 differentially expressed lncRNAs generated from groups A and B. Analysis of the target genes suggested that they may be involved in regulating the MAPK signaling pathway for resistance to cold. The results of this study provide a comprehensive overview of cold exposure–induced transcriptional patterns in skeletal muscle of the Min pig. These results can guide future molecular studies of cold stress response in pigs for improving cold tolerance as a goal in breeding programs.

Abstract
Cold-inducible RNA-binding-protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein that plays a protective role in genotoxic stress response. CIRP modulates inflammation in human diseases, inhibits cell proliferation, and protects cells from genotoxic damage during cellular stress. The mild cold responsive element and specificity protein 1 (SP1) play a role in Cirp expression at low temperatures. Although previous studies have provided insights into the immune functions of SP1 or CIRP, the mechanisms by which CIRP and SP1 me diate inflammatory responses remain largely unknown. Therefore, in the current study, we examined whether Cirp expression is affected by genetic factors related to temperature sensitivity as well as under low temperature. We performed a genome-wide association study on cold sensitivity in 2,000 participants. Fifty-six genome-wide significant trait-locus pairs were identified (p<1×10-5, false discovery rate < 0.05). Among these variants, rs1117050 and rs11170510 had a strong linkage disequilibrium (r2 > 0.8) relationship and expression quantitative trait locus-associated signals with the nearest Sp1 gene. We confirmed that the minor alleles of rs11170510 and rs58123204 were associated with increased Sp1 expression. Additionally, Sp1 overexpression led to CIRP translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. CIRP protein levels increased in serum samples that had minor alleles of rs11170510 and rs58123204. Levels of various pro-inflammatory cytokines were also significantly increased in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with minor alleles of rs11170510 and rs58123204. These results suggest that genetic factors related to cold sensitivity regulate CIRP expression and function and provide valuable insights into prediction of potential diseases through analysis of inherent genetic factors in humans.

Differential Expression of MicroRNAs in Dark-Cutting Meat from Beef Carcasses. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
“Dark-cutting” meat in beef carcasses can result from conditions such as long-term stress and depleted glycogen stores, but some aspects of the physiological mechanisms that cause dark-cutting phenotypes remain poorly understood. Certain responses to stress factors in fully developed tissues are known to be regulated by specific microRNAs. We investigated microRNA expression in Longissimus lumborum biopsies from carcasses derived from a contemporary group of 78 steers from which a high incidence of dark-cutting meat occurred. Our objective was to identify any potential microRNA signatures that reflect the impact of environmental factors and stresses on genetic signaling networks and result in dark-cutting beef (also known as dark, firm, and dry, or DFD) in some animals. MicroRNA expression was quantified by Illumina NextSeq small RNA sequencing. When RNA extracts from DFD muscle biopsy samples were compared with normal, non-DFD (NON) samples, 29 differentially expressed microRNAs were identified in which expression was at least 20% different in the DFD samples (DFD/NON fold ratio ≤0.8 or ≥1.2). When correction for multiple testing was applied, a single microRNA bta-miR-2422 was identified at a false discovery probability (FDR) of 5.4%. If FDR was relaxed to 30%, additional microRNAs were differentially expressed (bta-miR-10174-5p, bta-miR-1260b, bta-miR-144, bta-miR-142-5p, bta-miR-2285at, bta-miR-2285e, bta-miR-3613a). These microRNAs may play a role in regulating aspects of stress responses that ultimately result in dark-cutting beef carcasses.

Abstract
Cold exposure is an unavoidable and severe challenge for people and animals residing in cold regions of the world, and may lead to hypothermia, drastic changes in systemic metabolism, and inhibition of protein synthesis. O-linked-N-acetylglucoseaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) directly regulates the activity and function of target proteins involved in multiple biological processes by acting as a stress receptor and nutrient sensor. Therefore, our study aimed to examine whether O-GlcNAcylation affected myogenic IL-6 expression, regulation of energy metabolism, and promotion of survival in mouse skeletal muscle under acute cold exposure conditions. Total protein was extracted from C2C12 cells that had been cultured at 32°C for 3, 6, 9, and 12 h. Western blot analysis showed that mild hypothermia enhanced O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) expression. Furthermore, global OGT-dependent glycosylation and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels peaked 3 h after induction of mild hypothermia. Enhanced activation of the NF-κB pathway was also observed in response to mild hypothermia. Alloxan and Thiamet G were used to reduce and increase global OGT glycosylation levels in C2C12 cells, respectively. Increased O-GlcNAcylation was associated with significant upregulation of IL-6 expression, as well as enhanced activity and nuclear translocation of p65, while decreased O-GlcNAcylation had the opposite effect. In addition, increased O-GlcNAcylation was associated with significantly increased glucose metabolism, and OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation of p65. We generated skeletal muscle-specific OGT knockout mice and exposed them to cold at 4°C for 3 h per day for 1 week. OGT deficiency attenuated the O-GlcNAcylation, activity, and nuclear translocation of p65, resulting in downregulation of IL-6 in mouse skeletal muscle of mice exposed to cold conditions. Taken together, our data suggested that O-GlcNAcylation of p65 enhanced p65 activity and nuclear translocation leading to the upregulation of IL-6, which maintained energy homeostasis and promotes cell survival in mouse skeletal muscle during cold exposure.
