<P>To address whether mitochondrial biogenesis is essential for skeletal myogenesis, C2C12 myogenesis was investigated after knockdown of NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquintone) flavoprotein 1 (NDUFV1), which is an oxidative phosphorylation complex I subunit that is the first subunit to accept electrons from NADH. The NDUFVI knockdown enhanced C2C12 myogenesis by decreasing the NAD<SUP>+</SUP>/NADH ratio and subsequently inactivating SIRT1 and SIRT1 activators (pyruvate, SRT1720, and resveratrol) abolished the NDUFV1 knockdown-induced myogenesis enhancement. However, the insulin-elicited activation of insulin receptor β (IRβ) and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) was reduced with elevated levels of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B after NDUFV1 knockdown in C2C12 myotubes. The NDUFV1 knockdown-induced blockage of insulin signaling was released by protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B knockdown in C2C12 myotubes, and we found that NDUFV1 or SIRT1 knockdown did not affect mitochondria biogenesis during C2C12 myogenesis. Based on these data, we can conclude that complex I dysfunction-induced SIRT1 inactivation leads to myogenesis enhancement but blocks insulin signaling without affecting mitochondria biogenesis.</P>

Iqbal Ambreen,Ping Jiang,Ali Shaokat,Zhen Gao,Juan Liu,Kang Jin Zi,Ziyi Pan,Huixian Lu,Zhihui Zhao 아세아·태평양축산학회 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.12

The demand for food is increasing day by day because of the increasing global population. Therefore, meat, the easiest and largely available source of protein, needs to be produced in large amounts with good quality. The pork industry is a significant shareholder in fulfilling the global meat demands. Notably, myogenesis- development of muscles during embryogenesis- is a complex mechanism which culminates in meat production. But the molecular mechanisms which govern the myogenesis are less known. The involvement of miRNAs in myogenesis and meat quality, which depends on factors such as myofiber composition and intramuscular fat contents which determine the meat color, flavor, juiciness, and water holding capacity, are being extrapolated to increase both the quantity and quality of pork. Various kinds of microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-1, miR-21, miR22, miR-27, miR-34, miR-127, miR-133, miR-143, miR-155, miR-199, miR-206, miR-208, miR-378, and miR-432 play important roles in pig skeletal muscle development. Further, the quality of meat also depends upon myofiber which is developed through the expression of different kinds of miRNAs at different stages. This review will focus on the mechanism of myogenesis, the role of miRNAs in myogenesis, and meat quality with a focus on the pig.

Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) Ligase Ubiquitinates Focal Adhesion Kinase during Skeletal Myogenesis

Nguyen, Nga,Yi, Jae-Sung,Park, Heonyong,Lee, Jae-Seon,Ko, Young-Gyu American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Bi 2014 The Journal of biological chemistry Vol.289 No.6

<P>The striated muscle-specific mitsugumin 53 (MG53) is a novel E3 ligase that induces the ubiquitination of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) during skeletal myogenesis, negatively regulating insulin-like growth factor and insulin signaling. Here we show that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is the second target of MG53 during skeletal myogenesis. The FAK protein level gradually decreased, whereas its mRNA level was constant during myogenesis in C2C12 cells and MyoD-overexpressing mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The FAK protein was associated with the E2 enzyme UBE2H and the E3 enzyme MG53 in endogenous and exogenous immunoprecipitation experiments. FAK ubiquitination and degradation was induced by MG53 overexpression in myoblasts but abolished by MG53 or UBE2H knockdown in myotubes. Because RING-disrupted MG53 mutants (C14A and ΔR) did not induce FAK ubiquitination and degradation, the RING domain was determined to be required for MG53-induced FAK ubiquitination. Taken together, these data indicate that MG53 induces FAK ubiquitination with the aid of UBE2H during skeletal myogenesis.</P>

A KAP1 phosphorylation switch controls MyoD function during skeletal muscle differentiation

Singh, Kulwant,Cassano, Marco,Planet, Evarist,Sebastian, Soji,Jang, Suk Min,Sohi, Gurjeev,Faralli, Hervé,Choi, Jinmi,Youn, Hong-Duk,Dilworth, F. Jeffrey,Trono, Didier Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press 2015 Genes & development Vol.29 No.5

<P>The transcriptional activator MyoD serves as a master controller of myogenesis. Singh et al. identify KAP1/TRIM28 as a key regulator of MyoD function. In myoblasts, KAP1 is present with MyoD and Mef2 at many muscle genes, where it acts as a scaffold to recruit not only coactivators such as p300 and LSD1 but also corepressors such as G9a and HDAC1, with promoter silencing as the net outcome. Upon differentiation, MSK1-mediated phosphorylation of KAP1 releases the corepressors from the scaffold, unleashing transcriptional activation by MyoD/Mef2 and their positive cofactors.</P><P>The transcriptional activator MyoD serves as a master controller of myogenesis. Often in partnership with Mef2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2), MyoD binds to the promoters of hundreds of muscle genes in proliferating myoblasts yet activates these targets only upon receiving cues that launch differentiation. What regulates this off/on switch of MyoD function has been incompletely understood, although it is known to reflect the action of chromatin modifiers. Here, we identify KAP1 (KRAB [Kréééüppel-like associated box]-associated protein 1)/TRIM28 (tripartite motif protein 28) as a key regulator of MyoD function. In myoblasts, KAP1 is present with MyoD and Mef2 at many muscle genes, where it acts as a scaffold to recruit not only coactivators such as p300 and LSD1 but also corepressors such as G9a and HDAC1 (histone deacetylase 1), with promoter silencing as the net outcome. Upon differentiation, MSK1-mediated phosphorylation of KAP1 releases the corepressors from the scaffold, unleashing transcriptional activation by MyoD/Mef2 and their positive cofactors. Thus, our results reveal KAP1 as a previously unappreciated interpreter of cell signaling, which modulates the ability of MyoD to drive myogenesis.</P>

Small Leucine Zipper Protein (sLZIP) Negatively Regulates Skeletal Muscle Differentiation via Interaction with α-Actinin-4

An, Hyoung-Tae,Kim, Jeonghan,Yoo, Seungmin,Ko, Jesang American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Bi 2014 The Journal of biological chemistry Vol.289 No.8

<P>The small leucine zipper protein (sLZIP) plays a role in transcriptional regulation in various types of cells. However, the role of sLZIP in myogenesis is unknown. We identified α-actinin-4 (ACTN4) as a sLZIP-binding protein. ACTN4 functions as a transcriptional regulator of myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)2, which plays a critical role in expression of muscle-specific genes during skeletal muscle differentiation. We found that ACTN4 translocates to the nucleus, induces myogenic gene expression, and promotes myotube formation during myogenesis. The myogenic process is controlled by an association between myogenic factors and MEF2 transcription factors. ACTN4 increased expression of muscle-specific proteins via interaction with MEF2. However, sLZIP decreased myogenic gene expression and myotube formation during myogenesis via disruption of the association between ACTN4 and MEF2. ACTN4 increased the promoter activities of myogenic genes, whereas sLZIP abrogated the effect of ACTN4 on transcriptional activation of myogenic genes in myoblasts. The C terminus of sLZIP is required for interaction with the C terminus of ACTN4, based on deletion mutant analysis, and sLZIP plays a role in regulation of MEF2 transactivation via interaction with ACTN4. Our results indicate that sLZIP negatively regulates skeletal muscle differentiation via interaction with ACTN4 and that sLZIP can be used as a therapeutic target molecule for treatment of muscle hypertrophy and associated diseases.</P>

메추리 Chibby Family Member 2 (CBY2) 유전자의 클로닝과 메추리 근육세포에서의 특성 분석

이인표(Inpyo Lee),신상수(Sangsu Shin) 한국가금학회 2020 韓國家禽學會誌 Vol.47 No.3

Chibby family member 2(CBY2)은 Chibby-like super family domain을 가지고 있으며, SPERT 또는 NURIT 등으로도 알려져 있지만, 그 기능이 많이 알려져 있지는 않다. 본 연구에서는 메추리 CBY2 유전자를 클로닝하여 그 서열을 분석하고, QM7 메추리 근육 세포의 근육발생에서의 역할을 분석하였다. 메추리 CBY2의 코딩 서열은 978개의 염기로 이루어져 있으며, 이는 325개의 아미노산으로 번역되어진다. 메추리 CBY2는 닭의 CBY2와 가장 유사했으며, 이들 조류의 CBY2는 진화 역사상 일찍이 포유류의 CBY2와 나뉘어진 것으로 분석되었다. 단백질 도메인 예측 분석 결과, 메추리 CBY2는 N-말단 쪽에, 포유류와 비교 시 상이한 아미노산을 많이 갖고는 있지만, 83개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 Chibbylike superfamily domain을 가진 것으로 확인되었다. 메추리의 다양한 조직 중 CBY2는 지방조직에서 가장 많이 발현했으며, 간, 심장, 신장에서는 중간 또는 낮은 정도로 발현했고, 대흉근에서는 극히 낮은 발현을 보였다. CBY2의 근육발생에서의 역할을 분석하기 위해 CBY2를 QM7 세포에 과발현시킨 결과, CBY2가 근육발생을 억제하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 근관의 넓이를 수치화해 비교해본 결과, 그 면적이 대조구의 약 25%밖에 되지 않았다. 결론적으로 메추리 CBY2는 Chibby-like superfamily domain을 가지고 있으며, 근육발생을 억제하는 특성이 있다. 추후 연구는 CBY2가 근육발생을 억제하는 기작을 밝혀내는데 중점을 두어야 할 것이다. Chibby family member 2 (CBY2), also known as SPERT or NURIT, is a gene with Chibby-like super family domain, whose function is not well known. In this study, the quail CBY2 gene was cloned, its sequences were analyzed, and its role in the myogenesis of QM7 quail muscle cells was characterized. Quail CBY2 has 978 nucleotides, which are translated into 325 amino acids, and the amino acid sequences are highly similar to those of chicken CBY2. Avian CBY2 diverted from mammalian CBY2 during early evolutionary history. According to the protein domain prediction analysis, quail CBY2 has a Chibby-like superfamily domain consisting of 83 amino acids at the N-terminal of the protein, although compared to mammalian CBY2, many of the amino acids were different. CBY2 was highly expressed in the adipose tissue and moderately expressed in the liver, heart, and kidney, whereas rarely expressed in the muscle tissue in quail. To characterize the role of CBY2 in myogenesis, CBY2 was overexpressed in QM7 cells. The overexpression of CBY2 inhibited myotube formation as shown that the myotube area was approximately only 25% that of the control. Taken together, quail CBY2 has a Chibby-like superfamily domain and inhibits myogenesis. Further studies should focus on the identification of the inhibitory mechanism of CBY2 on myogenesis.

C2C12 근육아세포에서 trichostatin A에 의한 NF-κB DNA 결합 활성과 근육발생에 미치는 영향

임운기,김경창,신혜자 한국생명과학회 2002 생명과학회지 Vol.12 No.1

골격근 세포의 분화는 근육특이 유전자들의 전사적 활성과 근육아세포에서 근육소관으로의 형태적 분화로 특징지어진다. 본 연구에서는 TSA가 근육형성의 일련의 과정에서 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성과 융합에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대조군과 비교해서 TSA가 처리된 C2C12 myoblast는 융합하여 근육소관을 형성할 수 없었으며 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성은 억제되었다. 이런 현상들이 TSA에 의한 직접적인 것인지 알아보기 위해서 TSA가 처리되지 않고 분화를 유도하기 위해서 사용된 배지를 농축하여 C2C12 myoblast에 TSA와 함께 동시에 처리하였다. 그 결과 세포는 융합하여 근육소관을 형성하였으며 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성이 회복되었다. 이러한 결과는 TSA가 아마도 여러 관련 인자들을 통해 myoblast의 융합과 NF-kB DNA 결합 활성을 억제함으로 근육형성과정에 영향을 미침을 시사한다. The differentiation of skeletal muscle precursor cells in culture is marked by the transcriptional activation of muscle-specific genes and the morphological differentiation of myoblast into multinucleate myotube. In this study, we examined the effect of TSA (Trichostatin A) on WF-kB DNA binding activity and muscle cell fusion in the process of myogenesis. Under TSA treatment, C2C12 myoblast could not fuse to myotube and its NF-kB DNA binding activity was also blocked. To investigate whether these phenomenons were affected by TSA in direct or not, differentiation media (DM) used to differentiate cells without TSA was concentrated and added to C2C12 myoblast with TSA simultaneously. C2C12 myoblast was fused to myotube and NF-kB DNA binding activity was recovered. These results suggest that TSA affects on the differentiation of myoblast, perhaps through several factors, by inhibiting myoblst fusion and blocking NF-kB DNA binding activity.

Flavonoids: nutraceutical potential for counteracting muscle atrophy

김창희,황재관 한국식품과학회 2020 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.29 No.12

Skeletal muscle plays a vital role in the conversionof chemical energy into physical force. Muscleatrophy, characterized by a reduction in muscle mass, is asymptom of chronic disease (cachexia), aging (sarcopenia),and muscle disuse (inactivity). To date, several trials havebeen conducted to prevent and inhibit muscle atrophydevelopment; however, few interventions are currentlyavailable for muscle atrophy. Recently, food ingredients,plant extracts, and phytochemicals have received attentionas treatment sources to prevent muscle wasting. Flavonoidsare bioactive polyphenol compounds found in foods andplants. They possess diverse biological activities, includinganti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, andanti-inflammation. The effects of flavonoids on muscleatrophy have been investigated by monitoring molecularmechanisms involved in protein turnover, mitochondrialactivity, and myogenesis. This review summarizes thereported effects of flavonoids on sarcopenia, cachexia, anddisuse muscle atrophy, thus, providing an insight into theunderstanding of the associated molecular mechanisms.
