摘要

Introduction: Metformin (MET) stimulates skeletal muscle AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key phenotype remodeling protein with emerging therapeutic relevance for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Our aim was to identify the mechanism of impact of MET on dystrophic muscle. Methods: We investigated the effects of MET in cultured C2C12 muscle cells and mdx mouse skeletal muscle. Expression of potent phenotypic modifiers was assessed, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha), PPAR delta, and receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140), as well as that of the dystrophin-homolog, utrophin A. Results: In C2C12 cells, MET augmented expression of PGC-1 alpha, PPAR delta, and utrophin A, whereas RIP140 content was reciprocally downregulated. MET treatment of mdx mice increased PGC-1 alpha and utrophin A and normalized RIP140 levels. Conclusions: In this study we identify the impact of MET on skeletal muscle and underscore the timeliness and importance of investigating MET and other AMPK activators as relevant therapeutics for DMD.

Baicalin ameliorates CUMS-induced depression-like behaviors through activating AMPK/PGC-1? pathway and enhancing NIX-mediated mitophagy in mice

Xiaohui Jin, Leilei Zhu, Shuaifei Lu, Caiyin Li, Ming Bai, Erping Xu, Jiduo Shen, Yucheng Li

Summary: This study investigated the effect of baicalin on mitophagy in the hippocampus of mice exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and explored its potential mechanism. The results showed that baicalin improved depressive-like behaviors in CUMS mice and ameliorated mitochondrial structural impairment in the hippocampus neuron. Baicalin increased NIX and AMPK, and improved mitophagy level and mitochondrial function in HT22 cells by directly binding to AMPK.

Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon improves skeletal muscle function in aged mice

Priya Balasubramanian, Anne E. Schaar, Grace E. Gustafson, Alex B. Smith, Porsha R. Howell, Angela Greenman, Scott Baum, Ricki J. Colman, Dudley W. Lamming, Gary M. Diffee, Rozalyn M. Anderson

Summary: Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle function with age, significantly reduces independence and quality of life. However, there are currently no pharmacological interventions for sarcopenia. In this study, AdipoRon, a pan-adiponectin receptor agonist, was found to improve muscle function in male mice by affecting skeletal muscle metabolism and tissue remodeling. The treatment also showed positive effects in young mice and nonhuman primate cultured cells, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for sarcopenia in clinical application.

Effect of resveratrol on skeletal slow-twitch muscle fiber expression via AMPK/PGC-1 & alpha; signaling pathway in bovine myotubes

Jingyue Zhang, Jiqiang Li, Yunge Liu, Rongrong Liang, Yanwei Mao, Xiaoyin Yang, Yimin Zhang, Lixian Zhu

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of resveratrol on slow-twitch muscle fiber expression in bovine myotubes. The results showed that resveratrol enhanced the expression of slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and suppressed the expression of fast MyHC in bovine myotubes. Additionally, resveratrol increased the activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), as well as the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, while reducing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Moreover, resveratrol upregulated the expression of AMPK, SIRT1, and PGC-1a. These findings suggest that resveratrol promotes the transition of muscle fiber type from fast-twitch to slow-twitch in bovine myotubes through the AMPK/PGC-1a signaling pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis.

Summary: This study demonstrates that CCN5 gene transfer can ameliorate cardiac fibrosis, improve cardiac function, and enhance running performance in a mouse model of DMD-induced cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, CCN5 is found to be directly associated with the expression of utrophin, a novel transcriptional target.

Summary: This study characterized lenses derived from dystrophin-deficient mice and found changes in the distribution of Dp71 and other integral membrane proteins, resulting in decreased lens stiffness. The reductions in DAPC levels in dystrophin-deficient lenses indicate the importance of dystrophin in maintaining lens clarity and function.

Summary: The study found that under low-temperature and low-oxygen conditions, the body weight of rats decreased and affected lipid levels in the serum, while reducing the activity of fatty acid metabolism factors and increasing the activity of lipid metabolism-related enzymes. In addition, hypothermia and hypoxia also affect skeletal muscle morphology, and AMPK/PGC-1 alpha can regulate skeletal muscle cell proliferation.

Metabolic Regulation of Mitochondrial Protein Biogenesis from a Neuronal Perspective

Jara Tabitha Hees, Angelika Bettina Harbauer

Summary: Mitochondria play a critical role in neuronal function by providing ATP and buffering Ca2+. The regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis at the transcriptional and translational level is necessary for neurons to adapt to local differences in mitochondrial demand. Defects in the localization of mRNAs encoding mitochondrial proteins and contact site formation between mitochondria and endolysosomes can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction in various neurological disorders.
