Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol enhances oxidative stress, but the temporal response of antioxidant genes in skeletal muscle following a binge drinking episode remains unknown. METHODS Experiment 1: C57BL/6Hsd female mice received an IP injection of saline (CON; n = 39) or ethanol (ETOH; n = 39) (5 g/kg). Gastrocnemius muscles were collected from baseline (untreated; n = 3), CON (n = 3), and ETOH (n = 3) mice every 4 h for 48 h. Experiment 2: Gastrocnemius muscles were collected from control-fed (CON-FED; n = 17), control-fasted (CON-FAST; n = 18), or alcohol-fed (ETOH-FED; n = 18) mice every 4hrs for 20hrs after saline or ethanol (5 g/kg). RESULTS EtOH enhanced Superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1) and NADPH Oxidase 4 (Nox4) from 24 to 48hr after the binge, while Sod2 and Nox2 were suppressed. Nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) increased 12hrs after intoxication. Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (Por), Heme oxygenase 1 (Ho1), Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), Glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (Gclc), Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (Gclm), and Glutathione-disulfide reductase (Gsr) were increased by ETOH starting 12-16hrs post-binge. Fasting had similar effects on Nrf2 compared to alcohol, but downstream targets of NRF2, including Por, Ho1, Gclc, and Gclm, were differentially altered with fasting and EtOH. CONCLUSION These data suggest that acute alcohol intoxication induced markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant signaling through the NRF2 pathway and that there were effects of alcohol independent of a possible decrease in food intake caused by binge intoxication.

Differential impact of sex on regulation of skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and protein homeostasis by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in normoxia. J Physiol 2024. [PMID: 38761133 DOI: 10.1113/jp285339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is continuously synthesized and degraded in normoxia. During hypoxia, HIF1α stabilization restricts cellular/mitochondrial oxygen utilization. Cellular stressors can stabilize HIF1α even during normoxia. However, less is known about HIF1α function(s) and sex-specific effects during normoxia in the basal state. Since skeletal muscle is the largest protein store in mammals and protein homeostasis has high energy demands, we determined HIF1α function at baseline during normoxia in skeletal muscle. Untargeted multiomics data analyses were followed by experimental validation in differentiated murine myotubes with loss/gain of function and skeletal muscle from mice without/with post-natal muscle-specific Hif1a deletion (Hif1amsd). Mitochondrial oxygen consumption studies using substrate, uncoupler, inhibitor, titration protocols; targeted metabolite quantification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; and post-mitotic senescence markers using biochemical assays were performed. Multiomics analyses showed enrichment in mitochondrial and cell cycle regulatory pathways in Hif1a deleted cells/tissue. Experimentally, mitochondrial oxidative functions and ATP content were higher with less mitochondrial free radical generation with Hif1a deletion. Deletion of Hif1a also resulted in higher concentrations of TCA cycle intermediates and HIF2α proteins in myotubes. Overall responses to Hif1amsd were similar in male and female mice, but changes in complex II function, maximum respiration, Sirt3 and HIF1β protein expression and muscle fibre diameter were sex-dependent. Adaptive responses to hypoxia are mediated by stabilization of constantly synthesized HIF1α. Despite rapid degradation, the presence of HIF1α during normoxia contributes to lower mitochondrial oxidative efficiency and greater post-mitotic senescence in skeletal muscle. In vivo responses to HIF1α in skeletal muscle were differentially impacted by sex. KEY POINTS: Hypoxia-inducible factor -1α (HIF1α), a critical transcription factor, undergoes continuous synthesis and proteolysis, enabling rapid adaptive responses to hypoxia by reducing mitochondrial oxygen consumption. In mammals, skeletal muscle is the largest protein store which is determined by a balance between protein synthesis and breakdown and is sensitive to mitochondrial oxidative function. To investigate the functional consequences of transient HIF1α expression during normoxia in the basal state, myotubes and skeletal muscle from male and female mice with HIF1α knockout were studied using complementary multiomics, biochemical and metabolite assays. HIF1α knockout altered the electron transport chain, mitochondrial oxidative function, signalling molecules for protein homeostasis, and post-mitotic senescence markers, some of which were differentially impacted by sex. The cost of rapid adaptive responses mediated by HIF1α is lower mitochondrial oxidative efficiency and post-mitotic senescence during normoxia.

Abstract
Muscle-wasting and disease-related malnutrition are highly prevalent in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) as well as in liver transplant (LT) candidates. Alterations of body composition (BC) such as sarcopenia, myosteatosis and sarcopenic obesity and associated clinical frailty were tied to inferior clinical outcomes including hospital admissions, length of stay, complications, mortality and healthcare costs in various patient cohorts and clinical scenarios. In contrast to other inherent detrimental individual characteristics often observed in these complex patients, such as comorbidities or genetic risk, alterations of the skeletal muscle and malnutrition are considered as potentially modifiable risk factors with a major clinical impact. Even so, there is only limited high-level evidence to show how these pathologies should be addressed in the clinical setting. This review discusses the current state-of-the-art on the role of BC assessment in clinical outcomes in the setting of CLD and LT focusing mainly on sarcopenia and myosteatosis. We focus on the disease-related pathophysiology of BC alterations. Based on these, we address potential therapeutic interventions including nutritional regimens, physical activity, hormone and targeted therapies. In addition to summarizing existing knowledge, this review highlights novel trends, and future perspectives and identifies persisting challenges in addressing BC pathologies in a holistic way, aiming to improve outcomes and quality of life of patients with CLD awaiting or undergoing LT.

Abstract
Perturbations in the metabolism of ammonia, a cytotoxic endogenous metabolite, occur in a number of chronic diseases, with consequent hyperammonemia. Increased skeletal muscle ammonia uptake causes metabolic, molecular, and phenotype alterations including cataplerosis of (loss of tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycle intermediate) α-ketoglutarate (αKG), mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction, and senescence-associated molecular phenotype (SAMP). L-Isoleucine (Ile) is an essential, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that simultaneously provides acetyl-CoA as an oxidative substrate and succinyl-CoA for anaplerosis (providing TCA cycle intermediates). Our multiomics analyses in myotubes and skeletal muscle from hyperammonemic mice and human patients with cirrhosis showed perturbations in BCAA transporters and catabolism. We, therefore, determined if Ile reverses hyperammonemia-induced impaired mitochondrial oxidative function and SAMP. Studies were performed in differentiated murine C2C12 myotubes that were early passage, late passage (senescent), or those depleted of LAT1/SLC7A5 and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes (hiPSCM). Ile reverses hyperammonemia-induced reduction in the maximum respiratory capacity, complex I, II, and III functions in early passage murine myotubes and hiPSCM. Consistently, low ATP content and impaired global protein synthesis (high energy requiring cellular process) during hyperammonemia are reversed by Ile in murine myotubes and hiPSCM. Lower abundance of critical regulators of protein synthesis in mTORC1 signaling, and increased phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α are also reversed by Ile. Genetic depletion studies showed that Ile responses are independent of the amino acid transporter LAT1/SLC7A5. Our studies show that Ile reverses the hyperammonemia-induced impaired mitochondrial oxidative function, cataplerosis, and SAMP in a LAT1/SLC7A5 transporter-independent manner.

Abstract
PURPOSE Alcohol-related myopathy is one of the earliest alcohol-associated pathological tissue changes that is progressively exacerbated by cumulative long-term alcohol misuse. Acute and chronic alcohol use leads to changes in skeletal muscle mass and function. As discussed in this evidence-based review, alcohol-mediated mechanisms are multifactorial with effects on anabolic and catabolic signaling, mitochondrial bioenergetics, extracellular matrix remodeling, and epigenomic alterations. However, systematic studies are limited, especially regarding the acute effects of alcohol on skeletal muscle. SEARCH METHODS This review focuses on peer-reviewed manuscripts published between January 2012 and November 2022 using the search terms "alcohol" or "ethanol" and "skeletal muscle" in MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science using EndNote reference management software. SEARCH RESULTS Eligible manuscripts included full-length research papers that discussed acute and chronic effects of alcohol on skeletal muscle mass and function in both clinical and preclinical studies. The review also includes alcohol-mediated skeletal muscle effects in the context of comorbidities. The three databases together yielded 708 manuscripts. Of these, the authors excluded from this review 548 papers that did not have "alcohol" or "muscle" in the title and 64 papers that were duplicates or did not discuss skeletal muscle. Thus, of all the manuscripts considered for this review, 96 are included and 612 are excluded. Additionally, relevant papers published earlier than 2012 are included to provide context to the review. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Both acute and chronic alcohol use decrease protein synthesis and increase protein degradation. Alcohol also impairs mitochondrial function and extracellular matrix remodeling. However, there is a gap in the literature on the known alcohol-mediated mechanisms, including senescence, role of immune activation, and interorgan communication, on the development of alcohol-related myopathy. With increased life expectancy, changing alcohol use patterns, and increasing frequency of alcohol use among females, current observational studies are needed on the prevalence of alcohol-related myopathy. Additionally, the compounding effects of acute and chronic alcohol use on skeletal muscle with aging or exercise, in response to injury or disuse, and in the context of comorbidities including diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), call for further investigation. Though evidence suggests that abstinence or reducing alcohol use can improve muscle mass and function, they are not restored to normal levels. Hence, understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms can help in the design of therapeutic strategies to improve skeletal muscle health.

Abstract
Binge drinking (BD) is an especially pro-oxidant model of alcohol consumption, mainly used by adolescents. It has recently been related to the hepatic IR-process. Skeletal muscle is known to be involved in insulin action and modulation through myokine secretion. However, there is no information on muscle metabolism and myokine secretion after BD exposure in adolescents. Two experimental groups of adolescent rats have been used: control and BD-exposed one. Oxidative balance, energy status and lipid, and protein metabolism have been analyzed in muscle, together with myokine serum levels (IL-6, myostatin, LIF, IL-5, fractalkine, FGF21, irisin, BDNF, FSTL1, apelin, FABP3, osteocrin, osteonectin (SPARC), and oncostatin). In muscle, BD affects the antioxidant enzyme balance leading to lipid and protein oxidation. Besides, it also increases the activation of AMPK and thus contributes to decrease SREBP1 and pmTOR and to increase FOXO3a expressions, promoting lipid and protein degradation. These alterations deeply affect the myokine secretion pattern. This is the first study to examine a general myokine response after exposure to BD. BD not only caused a detrimental imbalance in myokines related to muscle turnover, decreased those contributing to increase IR-process, decreased FST-1 and apelin and their cardioprotective function but also reduced the neuroprotective BDNF. Consequently, BD leads to an important metabolic and energetic disequilibrium in skeletal muscle, which contributes to exacerbate a general IR-process.

Abstract
Perturbed metabolism of ammonia, an endogenous cytotoxin, causes mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced NAD+ /NADH (redox) ratio, and postmitotic senescence. Sirtuins are NAD+ -dependent deacetylases that delay senescence. In multiomics analyses, NAD metabolism and sirtuin pathways are enriched during hyperammonemia. Consistently, NAD+ -dependent Sirtuin3 (Sirt3) expression and deacetylase activity were decreased, and protein acetylation was increased in human and murine skeletal muscle/myotubes. Global acetylomics and subcellular fractions from myotubes showed hyperammonemia-induced hyperacetylation of cellular signaling and mitochondrial proteins. We dissected the mechanisms and consequences of hyperammonemia-induced NAD metabolism by complementary genetic and chemical approaches. Hyperammonemia inhibited electron transport chain components, specifically complex I that oxidizes NADH to NAD+ , that resulted in lower redox ratio. Ammonia also caused mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction, lower mitochondrial NAD+ -sensor Sirt3, protein hyperacetylation, and postmitotic senescence. Mitochondrial-targeted Lactobacillus brevis NADH oxidase (MitoLbNOX), but not NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside, reversed ammonia-induced oxidative dysfunction, electron transport chain supercomplex disassembly, lower ATP and NAD+ content, protein hyperacetylation, Sirt3 dysfunction and postmitotic senescence in myotubes. Even though Sirt3 overexpression reversed ammonia-induced hyperacetylation, lower redox status or mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction were not reversed. These data show that acetylation is a consequence of, but is not the mechanism of, lower redox status or oxidative dysfunction during hyperammonemia. Targeting NADH oxidation is a potential approach to reverse and potentially prevent ammonia-induced postmitotic senescence in skeletal muscle. Since dysregulated ammonia metabolism occurs with aging, and NAD+ biosynthesis is reduced in sarcopenia, our studies provide a biochemical basis for cellular senescence and have relevance in multiple tissues.

Abstract
Frailty is a decline in functional reserve across multiple physiological systems. A key component of frailty is sarcopenia, which denotes a loss of skeletal muscle mass and impaired contractile function that ultimately result in physical frailty. Physical frailty/sarcopenia are frequent and contribute to adverse clinical outcomes before and after liver transplantation. Frailty indices, including the liver frailty index, focus on contractile dysfunction (physical frailty), while cross-sectional image analysis of muscle area is the most accepted and reproducible measure to define sarcopenia. Thus, physical frailty and sarcopenia are interrelated. The prevalence of physical frailty/sarcopenia is high in liver transplant candidates and these conditions have been shown to adversely impact clinical outcomes including mortality, hospitalisations, infections, and cost of care both before and after transplantation. Data on the prevalence of frailty/sarcopenia and their sex- and age-dependent impact on outcomes are not consistent in patients on the liver transplant waitlist. Physical frailty and sarcopenic obesity are frequent in the obese patient with cirrhosis, and adversely affect outcomes after liver transplantation. Nutritional interventions and physical activity remain the mainstay of management before and after transplantation, despite limited data from large scale trials. In addition to physical frailty, there is recognition that a global evaluation including a multidisciplinary approach to other components of frailty (e.g., cognition, emotional, psychosocial) also need to be addressed in patients on the transplant waitlist. Recent advances in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of sarcopenia and contractile dysfunction have helped identify novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The intrinsic skeletal muscle core clock has emerged as a key feature of metabolic control and influences several aspects of muscle physiology. Acute alcohol intoxication disrupts the core molecular clock, but whether chronic consumption, like that leading to alcoholic myopathy, is also a zeitgeber for skeletal muscle remains unknown. The purpose of this work was to determine whether chronic alcohol consumption dysregulates the skeletal muscle core molecular clock and clock-controlled genes (CCGs). C57BL/6Hsd female mice (14 weeks old) were fed a control (CON) or alcohol (EtOH) containing liquid diet for 6 weeks. Gastrocnemius muscles and serum were collected from CON and EtOH mice every 4-h for 24-h. Chronic alcohol consumption disrupted genes of the core clock including suppressing the rhythmic peak of expression of Bmal1, Per1, Per2, and Cry2. Genes involved in the regulation of Bmal1 also exhibited lower rhythmic peaks including Reverb α and Myod1. The CCGs, Dbp, Lpl, Hk2, and Hadh were also suppressed by alcohol. The nuclear expression patterns of MYOD1, DBP, and REVERBα were shifted by alcohol, while no change in BMAL1 was detected. Overall, these data indicate that alcohol disrupted the skeletal muscle core clock but whether these changes in the core clock are causative or a consequence of alcoholic myopathy requires future mechanistic confirmation.

Adaptive exhaustion during prolonged intermittent hypoxia causes dysregulated skeletal muscle protein homeostasis. J Physiol 2023; 601:567-606. [PMID: 36533558 PMCID: PMC10286804 DOI: 10.1113/jp283700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Nocturnal hypoxaemia, which is common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, is associated with skeletal muscle loss or sarcopenia, which contributes to adverse clinical outcomes. In COPD, we have defined this as prolonged intermittent hypoxia (PIH) because the duration of hypoxia in skeletal muscle occurs through the duration of sleep followed by normoxia during the day, in contrast to recurrent brief hypoxic episodes during obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Adaptive cellular responses to PIH are not known. Responses to PIH induced by three cycles of 8 h hypoxia followed by 16 h normoxia were compared to those during chronic hypoxia (CH) or normoxia for 72 h in murine C2C12 and human inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived differentiated myotubes. RNA sequencing followed by downstream analyses were complemented by experimental validation of responses that included both unique and shared perturbations in ribosomal and mitochondrial function during PIH and CH. A sarcopenic phenotype characterized by decreased myotube diameter and protein synthesis, and increased phosphorylation of eIF2α (Ser51) by eIF2α kinase, and of GCN-2 (general controlled non-derepressed-2), occurred during both PIH and CH. Mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction, disrupted supercomplex assembly, lower activity of Complexes I, III, IV and V, and reduced intermediary metabolite concentrations occurred during PIH and CH. Decreased mitochondrial fission occurred during CH. Physiological relevance was established in skeletal muscle of mice with COPD that had increased phosphorylation of eIF2α, lower protein synthesis and mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction. Molecular and metabolic responses with PIH suggest an adaptive exhaustion with failure to restore homeostasis during normoxia. KEY POINTS: Sarcopenia or skeletal muscle loss is one of the most frequent complications that contributes to mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Unlike chronic hypoxia, prolonged intermittent hypoxia is a frequent, underappreciated and clinically relevant model of hypoxia in patients with COPD. We developed a novel, in vitro myotube model of prolonged intermittent hypoxia with molecular and metabolic perturbations, mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction, and consequent sarcopenic phenotype. In vivo studies in skeletal muscle from a mouse model of COPD shared responses with our myotube model, establishing the pathophysiological relevance of our studies. These data lay the foundation for translational studies in human COPD to target prolonged, nocturnal hypoxaemia to prevent sarcopenia in these patients.

Acute binge alcohol alters whole body metabolism and the time-dependent expression of skeletal muscle-specific metabolic markers for multiple days in mice. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2022; 323:E215-E230.

Abstract
Alcohol is a myotoxin that disrupts skeletal muscle function and metabolism, but specific metabolic alternations following a binge and the time course of recovery remain undefined. The purpose of this work was to determine the metabolic response to binge alcohol, the role of corticosterone in this response, and whether nutrient availability mediates the response. Female mice received saline (control) or alcohol (EtOH) (5 g/kg) via intraperitoneal injection at the start of the dark cycle. Whole body metabolism was assessed for 5 days. In a separate cohort, gastrocnemius muscles and liver were collected every 4 h for 48 h following intoxication. Metyrapone was administered before alcohol and gastrocnemius was collected 4 h later. Lastly, alcohol-treated mice were compared with fed or fasted controls. Alcohol disrupted whole body metabolism for multiple days. Alcohol altered the expression of genes and proteins in the gastrocnemius related to the promotion of fat oxidation (Pparα, Pparδ/β, AMPK, and Cd36) and protein breakdown (Murf1, Klf15, Bcat2). Changes to select metabolic genes in the liver did not parallel those in skeletal muscle. An alcohol-induced increase in circulating corticosterone was responsible for the initial change in protein breakdown factors but not the induction of FoxO1, Cebpβ, Pparα, and FoxO3. Alcohol led to a similar, but distinct metabolic response when compared with fasting animals. Overall, these data show that an acute alcohol binge rapidly disrupts macronutrient metabolism including sustained disruption to the metabolic gene signature of skeletal muscle in a manner similar to fasting at some time points.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Herein, we demonstrate that acute alcohol intoxication immediately alters whole body metabolism coinciding with rapid changes in the skeletal muscle macronutrient gene signature for at least 48 h postbinge and that this response diverges from hepatic effects and those of a fasted animal.

Abstract
Excessive alcohol consumption can cause alcoholic myopathy, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to 0.5% alcohol for eight weeks to investigate the effect of alcohol on skeletal muscle and its molecular mechanism. The results showed that the body length, body weight, cross-sectional area of the skeletal muscle fibers, Ucrit, and MO2max of the zebrafish were significantly decreased after alcohol exposure. The expression of markers of skeletal muscle atrophy and autophagy was increased, and the expression of P62 was significantly reduced. The content of ROS, the mRNA expression of sod1 and sod2, and the protein expression of Nox2 were significantly increased. In addition, we found that the inflammatory factors Il1β and Tnfα were significantly enriched in skeletal muscle, and the expression of the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling axis was also significantly increased. In summary, in this study, we established a zebrafish model of alcohol-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and further elucidated its pathogenesis.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a common complication affecting liver disease patients, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate the cellular mechanisms that drive sarcopenia progression using an in vitro model of liver disease. C2C12 myotubes were serum and amino acid starved for 1-h and subsequently conditioned with fasted ex vivo serum from four non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients (NAFLD), four decompensated end-stage liver disease patients (ESLD) and four age-matched healthy controls (CON) for 4- or 24-h. After 4-h C2C12 myotubes were treated with an anabolic stimulus (5 mM leucine) for 30-min. Myotube diameter was reduced following treatment with serum from ESLD compared with CON (−45%) and NAFLD (−35%; p < 0.001 for both). A reduction in maximal mitochondrial respiration (24% and 29%, respectively), coupling efficiency (~12%) and mitophagy (~13%) was identified in myotubes conditioned with NAFLD and ESLD serum compared with CON (p < 0.05 for both). Myostatin (43%, p = 0.04) and MuRF-1 (41%, p = 0.03) protein content was elevated in myotubes treated with ESLD serum compared with CON. Here we highlight a novel, experimental platform to further probe changes in circulating markers associated with liver disease that may drive sarcopenia and develop targeted therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The aim of the article is to examine side effects of increased dietary intake of amino acids, which are commonly used as a dietary supplement. In addition to toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, attention is focused on renal and gastrointestinal tract functions, ammonia production, and consequences of a competition with other amino acids for a carrier at the cell membranes and enzymes responsible for their degradation. In alphabetic order are examined arginine, β-alanine, branched-chain amino acids, carnosine, citrulline, creatine, glutamine, histidine, β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, leucine, and tryptophan. In the article is shown that enhanced intake of most amino acid supplements may not be risk-free and can cause a number of detrimental side effects. Further research is necessary to elucidate effects of high doses and long-term consumption of amino acid supplements on immune system, brain function, muscle protein balance, synthesis of toxic metabolites, and tumor growth and examine their suitability under certain circumstances. These include elderly, childhood, pregnancy, nursing a baby, and medical condition, such as diabetes and liver disease. Studies are also needed to examine adaptive response to a long-term intake of any substance and consequences of discontinuation of supplementation.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that chronic heavy alcohol consumption and consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet can independently contribute to skeletal muscle oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet the concurrent effect of these risk factors remains unclear. We aimed to assess the effect of alcohol and different dietary compositions on mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress markers. Male and female mice were randomized to an alcohol (EtOH)-free HF diet, a HF + EtOH diet, or a low-Fat (LF) + EtOH diet for 6 weeks. At the end of the study, electron transport chain complex activity and expression as well as antioxidant activity and expression, were measured in skeletal muscles. Complex I and III activity were diminished in muscles of mice fed a HF + EtOH diet relative to the EtOH-free HF diet. Lipid peroxidation was elevated, and antioxidant activity was diminished, in muscles of mice fed a HF + EtOH diet as well. Consumption of a HF diet may exacerbate the negative effects of alcohol on skeletal muscle mitochondrial health and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Background and aims The pathophysiology of sarcopenia in cirrhosis is poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the histological alterations in the muscle tissue of patients with cirrhosis and sarcopenia, and identify the regulators of muscle homeostasis. Methods Computed tomography images at third lumbar vertebral level were used to assess skeletal muscle index (SMI) in 180 patients. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the SMI cut-offs from a population of similar ethnicity. Muscle biopsy was obtained from the vastus lateralis in 10 sarcopenic patients with cirrhosis, and the external oblique in five controls (voluntary kidney donors during nephrectomy). Histological changes were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry for phospho-FOXO3, phospho-AKT, phospho-mTOR, and apoptosis markers (annexin V and caspase 3). The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expressions for MSTN, FoxO3, markers of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (FBXO32, TRIM63), and markers of autophagy (Beclin-1 and LC3) were also quantified. Results The prevalence of sarcopenia was 14.4%. Muscle histology in sarcopenics showed atrophic angulated fibers (P = 0.002) compared to controls. Immunohistochemistry showed a significant loss of expression of phospho-mTOR (P = 0.026) and an unaltered phospho-AKT (P = 0.089) in sarcopenic patients. There were no differences in the immunostaining for annexin-V, caspase-3, and phospho-FoxO3 between the two groups. The mRNA expressions of MSTN and Beclin-1 were higher in sarcopenics (P = 0.04 and P = 0.04, respectively). The two groups did not differ in the mRNA levels for TRIM63, FBXO32, and LC3. Conclusions Significant muscle atrophy, increase in autophagy, MSTN gene expression, and an impaired mTOR signaling were seen in patients with sarcopenia and cirrhosis.

During dysregulated ammonia metabolism, which occurs in chronic diseases, skeletal muscle becomes a major organ for nonhepatocyte ammonia uptake. Muscle ammonia disposal occurs in mitochondria via cataplerosis of critical intermediary metabolite α-ketoglutarate, a senescence-ameliorating molecule. Untargeted and mitochondrially targeted data were analyzed by multiomics approaches. These analyses were validated experimentally to dissect the specific mitochondrial oxidative defects and functional consequences, including senescence. Responses to ammonia lowering in myotubes and in hyperammonemic portacaval anastomosis rat muscle were studied. Whole-cell transcriptomics integrated with whole-cell, mitochondrial, and tissue proteomics showed distinct temporal clusters of responses with enrichment of oxidative dysfunction and senescence-related pathways/proteins during hyperammonemia and after ammonia withdrawal. Functional and metabolic studies showed defects in electron transport chain complexes I, III, and IV; loss of supercomplex assembly; decreased ATP synthesis; increased free radical generation with oxidative modification of proteins/lipids; and senescence-associated molecular phenotype–increased β-galactosidase activity and expression of p16INK, p21, and p53. These perturbations were partially reversed by ammonia lowering. Dysregulated ammonia metabolism caused reversible mitochondrial dysfunction by transcriptional and translational perturbations in multiple pathways with a distinct skeletal muscle senescence-associated molecular phenotype.

Abstract
Although microRNA-7 (miRNA-7) is known to regulate proliferation of cancer cells by targeting Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ERBB) family, less is known about its role in cardiac physiology. Transgenic (Tg) mouse with cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of miRNA-7 was generated to determine its role in cardiac physiology and pathology. Echocardiography on the miRNA-7 Tg mice showed cardiac dilation instead of age-associated physiological cardiac hypertrophy observed in non-Tg control mice. Subjecting miRNA-7 Tg mice to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) resulted in cardiac dilation associated with increased fibrosis bypassing the adaptive cardiac hypertrophic response to TAC. miRNA-7 expression in cardiomyocytes resulted in significant loss of ERBB2 expression with no changes in ERBB1 (EGFR). Cardiac proteomics in the miRNA-7 Tg mice showed significant reduction in mitochondrial membrane structural proteins compared to NTg reflecting role of miRNA-7 beyond the regulation of EGFR/ERRB in mediating cardiac dilation. Consistently, electron microscopy showed that miRNA-7 Tg hearts had disorganized rounded mitochondria that was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings show that expression of miRNA-7 in the cardiomyocytes results in cardiac dilation instead of adaptive hypertrophic response during aging or to TAC providing insights on yet to be understood role of miRNA-7 in cardiac function.

Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2021; 321:E606-E620. [PMID: 34541876 PMCID: PMC8791790 DOI: 10.1152/ajpendo.00187.2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Circadian rhythms are central to optimal physiological function, as disruption contributes to the development of several chronic diseases. Alcohol (EtOH) intoxication disrupts circadian rhythms within liver, brain, and intestines, but it is unknown whether alcohol also disrupts components of the core clock in skeletal muscle. Female C57BL/6Hsd mice were randomized to receive either saline (control) or alcohol (EtOH) (5 g/kg) via intraperitoneal injection at the start of the dark cycle [Zeitgeber time (ZT12)], and gastrocnemius was collected every 4 h from control and EtOH-treated mice for the next 48 h following isoflurane anesthetization. In addition, metyrapone was administered before alcohol intoxication in separate mice to determine whether the alcohol-induced increase in serum corticosterone contributed to circadian gene regulation. Finally, synchronized C2C12 myotubes were treated with alcohol (100 mM) to assess the influence of centrally or peripherally mediated effects of alcohol on the muscle clock. Alcohol significantly disrupted mRNA expression of Bmal1, Per1/2, and Cry1/2 in addition to perturbing the circadian pattern of clock-controlled genes, Myod1, Dbp, Tef, and Bhlhe40 (P < 0.05), in muscle. Alcohol increased serum corticosterone levels and glucocorticoid target gene, Redd1, in muscle. Metyrapone prevented the EtOH-mediated increase in serum corticosterone but did not normalize the EtOH-induced change in Per1, Cry1 and Cry2, and Myod1 mRNA expression. Core clock gene expression (Bmal, Per1/2, and Cry1/2) was not changed following 4, 8, or 12 h of alcohol treatment on synchronized C2C12 myotubes. Therefore, binge alcohol disrupted genes of the core molecular clock independently of elevated serum corticosterone or direct effects of EtOH on the muscle.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Alcohol is a myotoxin that impairs skeletal muscle metabolism and function following either chronic consumption or acute binge drinking; however, mechanisms underlying alcohol-related myotoxicity have not been fully elucidated. Herein, we demonstrate that alcohol acutely interrupts oscillation of skeletal muscle core clock genes, and this is neither a direct effect of ethanol on the skeletal muscle, nor an effect of elevated serum corticosterone, a major clock regulator.

Abstract
Low plasma levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) in liver cirrhosis are associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). We aimed to identify a metabolic signature of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in malnourished cirrhotic patients and evaluate its modification with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) enriched with ß-Hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate (HMB), a derivative of the BCAA leucine. Post hoc analysis was conducted on a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 43 individuals with cirrhosis and malnutrition, who were randomized to receive, for 12 weeks, oral supplementation twice a day with either 220 mL of Ensure® Plus Advance (HMB group, n = 22) or with 220 mL of Ensure® Plus High Protein (HP group, n = 21). MHE evaluation was by psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES). Compared to the HP group, an HMB-specific treatment effect led to a larger increase in Val, Leu, Phe, Trp and BCAA fasting plasma levels. Both treatments increased Fischer’s ratio and urea without an increase in Gln or ammonia fasting plasma levels. MHE was associated with a reduced total plasma amino acid concentration, a reduced BCAA and Fischer´s ratio, and an increased Gln/Glu ratio. HMB-enriched ONS increased Fischer´s ratio without varying Gln or ammonia plasma levels in liver cirrhosis and malnutrition, a protective amino acid profile that can help prevent MHE.

Abstract
Sarcopenia refers to the gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass and function along with aging and is a social burden due to growing healthcare cost associated with a super-aging society. Therefore, researchers have established guidelines and tests to diagnose sarcopenia. Several studies have been conducted actively to reveal the cause of sarcopenia and find an economic therapy to improve the quality of life in elderly individuals. Sarcopenia is caused by multiple factors such as reduced regenerative capacity, imbalance in protein turnover, alteration of fat and fibrotic composition in muscle, increased reactive oxygen species, dysfunction of mitochondria and increased inflammation. Based on these mechanisms, nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies have been developed to prevent and treat sarcopenia. Although several studies are currently in progress, no treatment is available yet. This review presents the definition of sarcopenia and summarizes recent understanding on the detailed mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, and strategies for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Ammonia is a cytotoxic molecule generated during normal cellular functions. Dysregulated ammonia metabolism, which is evident in many chronic diseases such as liver cirrhosis, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, initiates a hyperammonemic stress response in tissues including skeletal muscle and in myotubes. Perturbations in levels of specific regulatory molecules have been reported, but the global responses to hyperammonemia are unclear. In this study, we used a multiomics approach to vertically integrate unbiased data generated using an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing, RNA-Seq, and proteomics. We then horizontally integrated these data across different models of hyperammonemia, including myotubes and mouse and human muscle tissues. Changes in chromatin accessibility and/or expression of genes resulted in distinct clusters of temporal molecular changes including transient, persistent, and delayed responses during hyperammonemia in myotubes. Known responses to hyperammonemia, including mitochondrial and oxidative dysfunction, protein homeostasis disruption, and oxidative stress pathway activation, were enriched in our datasets. During hyperammonemia, pathways that impact skeletal muscle structure and function that were consistently enriched were those that contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and senescence. We made several novel observations, including an enrichment in antiapoptotic B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 family protein expression, increased calcium flux, and increased protein glycosylation in myotubes and muscle tissue upon hyperammonemia. Critical molecules in these pathways were validated experimentally. Human skeletal muscle from patients with cirrhosis displayed similar responses, establishing translational relevance. These data demonstrate complex molecular interactions during adaptive and maladaptive responses during the cellular stress response to hyperammonemia.

Nursing Observation on the Clinical Efficacy and Toxicity of Lobaplatin Compared with Cisplatin in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma Based on Intelligent CT Imaging. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2021; 2021:9982888. [PMID: 34306603 PMCID: PMC8266440 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9982888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
With the acceleration of people's life rhythm, the incidence of hypopharyngeal cancer has generally increased. This study mainly explores the clinical efficacy and toxicity of lobaplatin compared with cisplatin in the treatment of locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma based on intelligent CT imaging. Group A received lobaplatin combined with docetaxel induction chemotherapy for 2 cycles after cisplatin combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Lobaplatin was added to the patient, then, 200 ml of 5% glucose was added, and the patient was injected intravenously for 1.8 hours. After 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy, simultaneous lobaplatin chemotherapy was performed every week for 5 weeks (10 mg/week), and the efficacy was evaluated after 4 consecutive courses of treatment. Group B received cisplatin combined with docetaxel induction chemotherapy after 2 cycles of cisplatin combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Group C was the control group and was not treated with cisplatin or docetaxel. Stomach protection treatment was given in time throughout the treatment process. All patients underwent normal CT (NCCT) and enhanced CT (CECT) examinations before treatment. We extracted 5 mm plain scan CTQNCCT and enhanced CT (CECT) digital DICOM images from the PACS system for omics feature selection. Toxic and side effects are rated in different degrees according to the evaluation criteria of the National Cancer Institute (NCD) common adverse events. Blood routine and liver and kidney function tests were checked every week, and the medication was stopped immediately if there is a serious reaction. In addition, in vitro cell culture was set up to test the inhibitory effect of cisplatin and lobaplatin on the proliferation of cancer cells. The incidence of digestive tract reaction was 13.0% in the A plan group and 58.3% in the B plan group. The A group was lower than the B group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001 < 0.05). Compared with cisplatin, lobaplatin has a milder gastrointestinal reaction, and there is no common hepatic and renal toxicity of cisplatin. This study is helpful to provide guidance for the clinical efficacy of locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer treatment.
