The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway is known to be involved in limb myogenesis during development, but whether it is involved in postnatal muscle regeneration is unclear. We have found that adult inhibitor of differentiation (Id)-mutant (Id1+/−Id3−/−) mice display delayed and reduced skeletal muscle regeneration after injury compared with either wild-type littermates or Id3-null mice. Immunoblotting of wild-type muscle lysates revealed that, not only were Id1 and Id3 highly upregulated within 24 h after injury, but other upstream components of the BMP pathway were as well, including the BMP receptor type II and phosphorylated Smad1/5/8 (pSmad1/5/8). Inhibition of BMP signaling in injured skeletal muscle by Noggin injection reduced pSmad1/5/8, Id1, and Id3 protein levels. The mouse myoblast-derived cell line C2C12 also expressed Id1, Id3, BMP receptor type II, and pSmad1/5/8 during proliferation, but all were reduced upon differentiation into myotubes. In addition, these cells secreted mature BMP-4, and BMP signaling could be inhibited with exogenous Noggin, causing a reduction in pSmad1/5/8, Id1, and Id3 levels. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that activated Pax7+ myoblasts coexpressed nuclear pSmad1/5/8, Id1, and Id3 in injured mouse skeletal muscle sections. Although we did not observe differences in the numbers of quiescent Pax7+ satellite cells in adult uninjured hindlimb muscles, we did observe a significant reduction in the number of proliferating Pax7+ cells in the Id-mutant mice after muscle injury compared with either wild-type or Id3-null mice. These data suggest a model in which BMP signaling regulates Id1 and Id3 in muscle satellite cells, which directs their proper proliferation before terminal myogenic differentiation after skeletal muscle injury in postnatal animals.

Background/Aims: Skeletal muscle plays an essential role in the body movement. However, injuries to the skeletal muscle are common. Lifelong maintenance of skeletal muscle function largely depends on preserving the regenerative capacity of muscle. Muscle satellite cells proliferation, differentiation, and myoblast fusion play an important role in muscle regeneration after injury. Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms associated with muscle development during muscle regeneration is essential for devising the alternative treatments for muscle injury in the future. Methods: Edu staining, qRT-PCR and western blot were used to evaluate the miR-27b effects on pig muscle satellite cells (PSCs) proliferation and differentiation in vitro. Then, we used bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay to predict and confirm the miR-27b target gene. Finally, we elucidate the target gene function on muscle development in vitro and in vivo through Edu staining, qRT-PCR, western blot, H&E staining and morphological observation. Result: miR-27b inhibits PSCs proliferation and promotes PSCs differentiation. And the miR-27b target gene, MDFI, promotes PSCs proliferation and inhibits PSCs differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, interfering MDFI expression promotes mice muscle regeneration after injury. Conclusion: our results conclude that miR-27b promotes PSCs myogenesis by targeting MDFI. These results expand our understanding of muscle development mechanism in which miRNAs and genes work collaboratively in regulating skeletal muscle development. Furthermore, this finding has implications for obtaining the alternative treatments for patients with the muscle injury.

The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway is best known for its role in promoting bone formation, however it has been shown to play important roles in both development and regeneration of many different tissues. Recent work has shown that the BMP proteins have a number of functions in skeletal muscle, from embryonic to postnatal development. Furthermore, complementary studies have recently demonstrated that specific components of the pathway are required for efficient muscle regeneration.

Regeneration of muscle fibers that are lost during pathological muscle degeneration or after injuries is sustained by the production of new myofibers. An important cell type involved in muscle regeneration is the satellite cell. Necdin is a protein expressed in satellite cell–derived myogenic precursors during perinatal growth. However, its function in myogenesis is not known. We compare transgenic mice that overexpress necdin in skeletal muscle with both wild-type and necdin null mice. After muscle injury the necdin null mice show a considerable defect in muscle healing, whereas mice that overexpress necdin show a substantial increase in myofiber regeneration. We also find that in muscle, necdin increases myogenin expression, accelerates differentiation, and counteracts myoblast apoptosis. Collectively, these data clarify the function and mechanism of necdin in skeletal muscle and show the importance of necdin in muscle regeneration.

AbstractThe process of myogenesis which operates during skeletal muscle regeneration involves the activation of muscle stem cells, the so-called satellite cells. These then give rise to proliferating progenitors, the myoblasts which subsequently exit the cell cycle and differentiate into committed precursors, the myocytes. Ultimately, the fusion of myocytes leads to myofiber formation. Here we reveal a role for the transcriptional co-regulator nTRIP6, the nuclear isoform of the LIM-domain protein TRIP6, in the temporal control of myogenesis. In an in vitro model of myogenesis, the expression of nTRIP6 is transiently up-regulated at the transition between proliferation and differentiation, whereas that of the cytosolic isoform TRIP6 is not altered. Selectively blocking nTRIP6 function results in accelerated early differentiation followed by deregulated late differentiation and fusion. Thus, the transient increase in nTRIP6 expression appears to prevent premature differentiation. Accordingly, knocking out the Trip6 gene in satellite cells leads to deregulated skeletal muscle regeneration dynamics in the mouse. Thus, dynamic changes in nTRIP6 expression contributes to the temporal control of myogenesis.

Plasminogen activators urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) are extracellular proteases involved in various tissue remodeling processes. A requirement for uPA activity in skeletal myogenesis was recently demonstrated in vitro. The role of plasminogen activators in skeletal muscle regeneration in vivo in wild-type, uPA-deficient, and tPA-deficient mice is investigated here. Wild-type and tPA−/− mice completely repaired experimentally damaged skeletal muscle. In contrast, uPA−/− mice had a severe regeneration defect, with decreased recruitment of blood-derived monocytes to the site of injury and with persistent myotube degeneration. In addition, uPA-deficient mice accumulated fibrin in the degenerating muscle fibers; however, the defibrinogenation of uPA-deficient mice resulted in a correction of the muscle regeneration defect. A similar severe regeneration deficit with persistent fibrin deposition was also reproducible in plasminogen-deficient mice after injury, suggesting that fibrinolysis by uPA-mediated plasminogen activation plays a fundamental role in skeletal muscle regeneration. In conclusion, the uPA-plasmin system is identified as a critical component of the mammalian skeletal muscle regeneration process, possibly because it prevents intramuscular fibrin accumulation and contributes to the adequate inflammatory response after injury. These studies demonstrate the requirement of an extracellular proteolytic cascade during muscle regeneration in vivo.

Because of its mechanical function, skeletal muscle is heavily influenced by the composition of its extracellular matrix (ECM). Fibrosis generated by chronic damage, such as occurs in muscular dystrophies, is thus particularly disastrous in this tissue. Here, we examined the interrelationship between the muscle satellite cell and the production of collagen type I, a major component of fibrotic ECM, by using both C2C12, a satellite cell-derived cell line, and primary muscle satellite cells. In C2C12 cells, we found that expression of collagen type I mRNA decreases substantially during skeletal muscle differentiation. On a single-cell level, collagen type I and myogenin became mutually exclusive after 3 days in differentiation medium, whereas addition of collagen markedly suppressed differentiation of C2C12 cells. Primary cultures of satellite cells associated with isolated single fibers of the young (4 wk old) mdx dystrophic mouse and of C57BL/10ScSn wild-type controls expressed collagen type I and type III mRNA and protein. This pattern persisted in wild-type mice at all ages. But, curiously, in older (18-mo-old) mdx mice, although the myogenic cells continued to express type III collagen, type I expression became restricted to nonmyogenic cells. These cells typically constituted part of a cellular sheet surrounding the old mdx fibers. This combination of features strongly suggests that the progression to fibrosis in dystrophic muscle involves changes in the mechanisms controlling matrix production, which generates positive feedback that results in a reprogramming of myoblasts to a profibrotic function.

Early Phases

Skeletal muscle regeneration is a complex process involving crosstalk between immune cells and myogenic precursor cells, i.e., satellite cells. In this scenario, macrophage recruitment in damaged muscles is a mandatory step for tissue repair since pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages promote the activation of satellite cells, stimulating their proliferation and then, after switching into anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, they prompt satellite cells’ differentiation into myotubes and resolve inflammation. Here, we show that acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), a key enzyme in sphingolipid metabolism, is activated after skeletal muscle injury induced in vivo by the injection of cardiotoxin. ASMase ablation shortens the early phases of skeletal muscle regeneration without affecting satellite cell behavior. Of interest, ASMase regulates the balance between M1 and M2 macrophages in the injured muscles so that the absence of the enzyme reduces inflammation. The analysis of macrophage populations indicates that these events depend on the altered polarization of M1 macrophages towards an M2 phenotype. Our results unravel a novel role of ASMase in regulating immune response during muscle regeneration/repair and suggest ASMase as a supplemental therapeutic target in conditions of redundant inflammation that impairs muscle recovery.
