Livshits G, Kalinkovich A. Restoration of epigenetic impairment in the skeletal muscle and chronic inflammation resolution as a therapeutic approach in sarcopenia. Ageing Res Rev 2024; 96:102267.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, accompanied by severe adverse health outcomes, such as falls and fractures, functional decline, high health costs, and mortality. Hence, its prevention and treatment have become increasingly urgent. However, despite the wide prevalence and extensive research on sarcopenia, no FDA-approved disease-modifying drugs exist. This is probably due to a poor understanding of the mechanisms underlying its pathophysiology. Recent evidence demonstrate that sarcopenia development is characterized by two key elements: (i) epigenetic dysregulation of multiple molecular pathways associated with sarcopenia pathogenesis, such as protein remodeling, insulin resistance, mitochondria impairments, and (ii) the creation of a systemic, chronic, low-grade inflammation (SCLGI). In this review, we focus on the epigenetic regulators that have been implicated in skeletal muscle deterioration, their individual roles, and possible crosstalk. We also discuss epidrugs, which are the pharmaceuticals with the potential to restore the epigenetic mechanisms deregulated in sarcopenia. In addition, we discuss the mechanisms underlying failed SCLGI resolution in sarcopenia and the potential application of pro-resolving molecules, comprising specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and their stable mimetics and receptor agonists. These compounds, as well as epidrugs, reveal beneficial effects in preclinical studies related to sarcopenia. Based on these encouraging observations, we propose the combination of epidrugs with SCLI-resolving agents as a new therapeutic approach for sarcopenia that can effectively attenuate of its manifestations.

Sergeeva KV, Tyganov SA, Zaripova KA, Bokov RO, Nikitina LV, Konstantinova TS, Kalamkarov GR, Shenkman BS. Mechanical and signaling responses of unloaded rat soleus muscle to chronically elevated β-myosin activity. Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 754:109961. [PMID: 38492659 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.109961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
It has been reported that muscle functional unloading is accompanied by an increase in motoneuronal excitability despite the elimination of afferent input. Thus, we hypothesized that pharmacological potentiation of spontaneous contractile soleus muscle activity during hindlimb unloading could activate anabolic signaling pathways and prevent the loss of muscle mass and strength. To investigate these aspects and underlying molecular mechanisms, we used β-myosin allosteric effector Omecamtiv Mekarbil (OM). We found that OM partially prevented the loss of isometric strength and intrinsic stiffness of the soleus muscle after two weeks of disuse. Notably, OM was able to attenuate the unloading-induced decrease in the rate of muscle protein synthesis (MPS). At the same time, the use of drug neither prevented the reduction in the markers of translational capacity (18S and 28S rRNA) nor activation of the ubiquitin-proteosomal system, which is evidenced by a decrease in the cross-sectional area of fast and slow muscle fibers. These results suggest that chemically-induced increase in low-intensity spontaneous contractions of the soleus muscle during functional unloading creates prerequisites for protein synthesis. At the same time, it should be assumed that the use of OM is advisable with pharmacological drugs that inhibit the expression of ubiquitin ligases.

Front Mol Biosci 2023; 10:1162409.

Abstract
Objectives: The goal of our bioinformatics study was to comprehensively analyze the association between the whole calpain family members and the progression and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: The data were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The landscape of the gene expression, copy number variation (CNV), mutation, and DNA methylation of calpain members were analyzed. Clustering analysis was performed to stratify the calpain-related groups. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-based Cox model was used to select hub survival genes. Results: We found 14 out of 16 calpain members expressed differently between tumor and normal tissues of HCC. The clustering analyses revealed high- and low-risk calpain groups which had prognostic difference. We found the high-risk calpain group had higher B cell infiltration and higher expression of immune checkpoint genes HAVCR2, PDCD1, and TIGHT. The CMap analysis found that the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A and the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway inhibitors LY-294002 and wortmannin might have a therapeutic effect on the high-risk calpain group. The DEGs between calpain groups were identified. Subsequent univariate Cox analysis of each DEG and LASSO-based Cox model obtained a calpain-related prognostic signature. The risk score model of this signature showed good ability to predict the overall survival of HCC patients in TCGA datasets and external validation datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and the International Cancer Genome Consortium database. Conclusion: We found that calpain family members were associated with the progression, prognosis, and drug response of HCC. Our results require further studies to confirm.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS AND ADMINISTRATION ROUTE FOR IMPROVING SURVIVAL AND ORGAN INJURY IN RATS AFTER HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK. Shock 2023; 60:75-83. [PMID: 37141162 PMCID: PMC10417212 DOI: 10.1097/shk.0000000000002136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) have been reported to improve survival in rats with hemorrhagic shock (HS). However, no consensus exists on the most effective HDACIs and their administration routes. We herein aimed to determine the optimal HDACIs and administration route in rats with HS. Methods: Survival analysis: In experiment I, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HS (mean arterial pressure [MAP] was maintained at 30-40 mm Hg for 20 min), and intravenously injected with the following agents (n = 8 per group): (1) no treatment, (2) vehicle (VEH), (3) entinostat (MS-275), (4) [ N -((6-(Hydroxyamino)-6-oxohexyl)oxy)-3,5-dimethylbenzamide] (LMK-235), (5) tubastatin A, (6) trichostatin A (TSA), and (7) sirtinol. In experiment II, rats were intraperitoneally injected with TSA. Mechanism research: In experiments I and II, rats were observed for 3 h, after which blood samples and liver, heart, and lung tissues were harvested. Results: In experiment I, 75% rats in the VEH group but only 25% rats in the LMK-235 and sirtinol groups died within ≤5 h of treatment, whereas the survival of rats in the MS-275, tubastatin A, and TSA groups was significantly prolonged. MS-275, LMK-235, tubastatin A, and TSA significantly reduced histopathological scores, apoptosis cell numbers, and inflammatory cytokine levels. In experiment II, the survival was longer after i.v. TSA treatment than after i.p. TSA treatment, and the IL-6 levels in the heart were significantly lower in rat who received i.p. TSA treatment than in those who received i.v. TSA treatment. Conclusions: The i.v. effect was superior to the i.p. effect, while nonselective and isoform-specific classes I and IIb HDACIs had similar effects.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14111167. [PMID: 34832949 PMCID: PMC8617770 DOI: 10.3390/ph14111167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
It is well known that reduced contractile activity of the main postural soleus muscle during long-term bedrest, immobilization, hindlimb unloading, and space flight leads to increased expression of fast isoforms and decreased expression of the slow isoform of myosin heavy chain (MyHC). The signaling cascade such as HDAC4/MEF2-D pathway is well-known to take part in regulating MyHC I gene expression. Earlier, we found a significant increase of HDAC4 in myonuclei due to AMPK dephosphorylation during 24 h of hindlimb unloading via hindlimb suspension (HU) and it had a significant impact on the expression of MyHC isoforms in rat soleus causing a decrease in MyHC I(β) pre-mRNA and mRNA expression as well as MyHC IIa mRNA expression. We hypothesized that dephosphorylated HDAC4 translocates into the nuclei and can lead to a reduced expression of slow MyHC. To test this hypothesis, Wistar rats were treated with HDAC4 inhibitor (Tasquinimod) for 7 days before HU as well as during 24 h of HU. We discovered that Tasquinimod treatment prevented a decrease in pre-mRNA expression of MyHC I. Furthermore, 24 h of hindlimb suspension resulted in HDAC4 nuclear accumulation of rat soleus but Tasquinimod pretreatment prevented this accumulation. The results of the study indicate that HDAC4 after 24 h of HU had a significant impact on the precursor MyHC I mRNA expression in rat soleus.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle unloading results in atrophy. We hypothesized that pannexin 1 ATP-permeable channel (PANX1) is involved in the response of muscle to unloading. We tested this hypothesis by blocking PANX1, which regulates efflux of ATP from the cytoplasm. Rats were divided into six groups (eight rats each): non-treated control for 1 and 3 days of the experiments (1C and 3C, respectively), 1 and 3 days of hindlimb suspension (HS) with placebo (1H and 3H, respectively), and 1 and 3 days of HS with PANX1 inhibitor probenecid (PRB; 1HP and 3HP, respectively). When compared with 3C group there was a significant increase in ATP in soleus muscle of 3H and 3HP groups (32 and 51%, respectively, p < 0.05). When compared with 3H group, 3HP group had: (1) lower mRNA expression of E3 ligases MuRF1 and MAFbx (by 50 and 38% respectively, p < 0.05) and MYOG (by 34%, p < 0.05); (2) higher phosphorylation of p70S6k and p90RSK (by 51 and 35% respectively, p < 0.05); (3) lower levels of phosphorylated eEF2 (by 157%, p < 0.05); (4) higher level of phosphorylated GSK3β (by 189%, p < 0.05). In conclusion, PANX1 ATP-permeable channels are involved in the regulation of muscle atrophic processes by modulating expression of E3 ligases, and protein translation and elongation processes during unloading.

Histone deacetylase HDA-4-mediated epigenetic regulation in space-flown C. elegans. NPJ Microgravity 2021; 7:33.

Abstract
Epigenetic changes during long-term spaceflight are beginning to be studied by NASA's twin astronauts and other model organisms. Here, we evaluate the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in space-flown C. elegans by comparing wild type and histone deacetylase (hda)-4 mutants. Expression levels of 39 genes were consistently upregulated in all four generations of adult hda-4 mutants grown under microgravity compared with artificial Earth-like gravity (1G). In contrast, in the wild type, microgravity-induced upregulation of these genes occurred a little. Among these genes, 11 contain the domain of unknown function 19 (DUF-19) and are located in a cluster on chromosome V. When compared with the 1G condition, histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) increased under microgravity in the DUF-19 containing genes T20D4.12 to 4.10 locus in wild-type adults. On the other hand, this increase was also observed in the hda-4 mutant, but the level was significantly reduced. The body length of wild-type adults decreased slightly but significantly when grown under microgravity. This decrease was even more pronounced with the hda-4 mutant. In ground-based experiments, one of the T20D4.11 overexpressing strains significantly reduced body length and also caused larval growth retardation and arrest. These results indicate that under microgravity, C. elegans activates histone deacetylase HDA-4 to suppress overregulation of several genes, including the DUF-19 family. In other words, the expression of certain genes, including negative regulators of growth and development, is epigenetically fine-tuned to adapt to the space microgravity.

Abstract
Denervation can activate the catabolic pathway in skeletal muscle and lead to progressive skeletal muscle atrophy. At present, there is no effective treatment for muscle atrophy. Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) has recently been found to be closely related to muscle atrophy, but the underlying mechanism of HDAC4 in denervation-induced muscle atrophy have not been described clearly yet. In this study, we found that the expression of HDAC4 increased significantly in denervated skeletal muscle. HDAC4 inhibition can effectively diminish denervation-induced muscle atrophy, reduce the expression of muscle specific E3 ubiquitin ligase (MuRF1 and MAFbx) and autophagy related proteins (Atg7, LC3B, PINK1 and BNIP3), inhibit the transformation of type I fibers to type II fibers, and enhance the expression of SIRT1 and PGC-1 α. Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis was performed and suggested that HDAC4 may be involved in denervation-induced muscle atrophy by regulating the response to denervation involved in the regulation of muscle adaptation, cell division, cell cycle, apoptotic process, skeletal muscle atrophy, and cell differentiation. STRING analysis showed that HDAC4 may be involved in the process of muscle atrophy by directly regulating myogenin (MYOG), cell cycle inhibitor p21 (CDKN1A) and salt induced kinase 1 (SIK1). MYOG was significantly increased in denervated skeletal muscle, and MYOG inhibition could significantly alleviate denervation-induced muscle atrophy, accompanied by the decreased MuRF1 and MAFbx. MYOG overexpression could reduce the protective effect of HDAC4 inhibition on denervation-induced muscle atrophy, as evidenced by the decreased muscle mass and cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, and the increased mitophagy. Taken together, HDAC4 inhibition can alleviate denervation-induced muscle atrophy by reducing MYOG expression, and HDAC4 is also directly related to CDKN1A and SIK1 in skeletal muscle, which suggests that HDAC4 inhibitors may be a potential drug for the treatment of neurogenic muscle atrophy. These results not only enrich the molecular regulation mechanism of denervation-induced muscle atrophy, but also provide the experimental basis for HDAC4-MYOG axis as a new target for the prevention and treatment of muscular atrophy.

Beneficial Effects of a Mixture of Algae and Extra Virgin Olive Oils on the Age-Induced Alterations of Rodent Skeletal Muscle: Role of HDAC-4. Nutrients 2020; 13:nu13010044.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and function (sarcopenia). We have investigated whether a mixture of algae oil (25%) and extra virgin olive oil (75%) could exert beneficial effects on sarcopenia. Young (3 months) and old (24 months) male Wistar rats were treated with vehicle or with the oil mixture (OM) (2.5 mL/kg) for 21 days. Aging decreased gastrocnemius weight, total protein, and myosin heavy chain mRNA. Treatment with the OM prevented these effects. Concomitantly, OM administration decreased the inflammatory state in muscle; it prevented the increase of pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the decrease in anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 (IL-10) in aged rats. The OM was not able to prevent aging-induced alterations in either the insulin-like growth factor I/protein kinase B (IGF-I/Akt) pathway or in the increased expression of atrogenes in the gastrocnemius. However, the OM prevented decreased autophagy activity (ratio protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3b) II/I) induced by aging and increased expression of factors related with muscle senescence such as histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC-4), myogenin, and IGF-I binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5). These data suggest that the beneficial effects of the OM on muscle can be secondary to its anti-inflammatory effect and to the normalization of HDAC-4 and myogenin levels, making this treatment an alternative therapeutic tool for sarcopenia.
