A failure to increase glucose disposal into peripheral tissues in response to insulin leads to impaired insulin signaling and an inability to uptake glucose leading to the onset of insulin resistance, a major contributing factor to diabetes. We examined the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in insulin signaling and its ability to regulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. S1P, a sphingolipid found in abundance in the circulation, has been implicated in not only mediating crosstalk with other signaling pathways but has also been implicated in insulin resistance. We hypothesize that S1P interacts with post-receptor insulin signaling to increase glucose disposal in an in vitro model of insulin resistance using differentiated mouse skeletal C2C12 myotubes. Our data demonstrates that S1P (10μM) increases basal glucose levels similar to that observed in response to insulin (100nM) under conditions of low glucose (** p < 0.005: n = 3). Conversely, high glucose conditions completely inhibit both insulin and S1P stimulated glucose uptake (*p < 0.01:n = 3). Pre-incubation with S1P does not augment insulin-induced glucose uptake (***p < 0.001:n = 3), suggesting that S1P does not act via a separate signaling pathway. This is confirmed by our data demonstrating that S1P-induced glucose uptake is abrogated by Cytochalasin B (*p < 0.001:n = 3). In addition, the PI3-K inhibitors, LY294002 and Wortmannin, the Akt inhibitor, AKT2 and the p38MAPK inhibitor, SB203580 significantly inhibited glucose uptake in response to S1P, demonstrating their importance in S1P-induced glucose uptake (*p < 0.05:n = 3). S1P2 and S1P3 receptor expression were upregulated in response to insulin (~2-fold over basal) under low glucose conditions suggesting that insulin may regulate S1P signaling via one or both of these receptors. S1P increased serine phosphorylation of IRS1, both at serine 307 and serines 636/639 maximally after 15 minutes of stimulation. This data has important clinical implications in patients with metabolic syndrome who have impaired skeletal muscle glucose disposal due to insulin resistance and will help guide present and future therapy for patients who have this rapidly growing disease.

AbstractThe myosin super-relaxed state (SRX) in skeletal muscle is hypothesized to play an important role in regulating muscle contractility and thermogenesis in humans, but has only been examined in model organisms. Here we report the first human skeletal muscle SRX measurements, using quantitative epifluorescence microscopy of fluorescent 2’/3’-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl) ATP (mantATP) single-nucleotide turnover. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform expression was determined using gel electrophoresis for each permeabilized vastus lateralis fiber, to allow for novel comparisons of SRX between fiber-types. We find that the fraction of myosin in SRX is less in MHC IIA fibers than in MHC I and IIAX fibers (p = 0.008). ATP turnover of SRX is faster in MHC IIAX fibers compared to MHC I and IIA fibers (p = 0.001). We conclude that SRX biochemistry is measurable in human skeletal muscle, and our data indicate that SRX depends on fiber type as classified by MHC isoform. Extension from this preliminary work would provide further understanding regarding the role of SRX in human muscle physiology.

Protein Arginine Methyltransferases

Arginine methylation mediated by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is a post-translational modification of both histone and non-histone substrates related to diverse biological processes. PRMTs appear to be critical regulators in skeletal muscle physiology, including regeneration, metabolic homeostasis, and plasticity. Chronic inflammation is commonly associated with the decline of skeletal muscle mass and strength related to aging or chronic diseases, defined as sarcopenia. In turn, declined skeletal muscle mass and strength can exacerbate chronic inflammation. Thus, understanding the molecular regulatory pathway underlying the crosstalk between skeletal muscle function and inflammation might be essential for the intervention of muscle pathophysiology. In this review, we will address the current knowledge on the role of PRMTs in skeletal muscle physiology and pathophysiology with a specific emphasis on its relationship with inflammation.

Thyroid hormones (TH) are crucial for development, growth, differentiation, metabolism and thermogenesis. Skeletal muscle (SM) contractile function, myogenesis and bioenergetic metabolism are influenced by TH. These effects depend on the presence of the TH transporters MCT8 and MCT10 in the plasma membrane, the expression of TH receptors (THRA or THRB) and hormone availability, which is determined either by the activation of thyroxine (T4) into triiodothyronine (T3) by type 2 iodothyronine deiodinases (D2) or by the inactivation of T4 into reverse T3 by deiodinases type 3 (D3). SM relaxation and contraction rates depend on T3 regulation of myosin expression and energy supplied by substrate oxidation in the mitochondria. The balance between D2 and D3 expression determines TH intracellular levels and thus influences the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells, indicating an important role of TH in muscle repair and myogenesis. During critical illness, changes in TH levels and in THR and deiodinase expression negatively affect SM function and repair. This review will discuss the influence of TH action on SM contraction, bioenergetics metabolism, myogenesis and repair in health and illness conditions.

Background: Choline is an essential micronutrient with a pivotal role in several metabolic pathways contributing to liver, neurological, and hematological homeostasis. Although choline is commonly administered to improve physical performance, its effects on muscle are still unclear. The aim of this scoping review is to analyze the role of choline on skeletal muscle in terms of biological effects and clinical implications. Methods: A technical expert panel (TEP) of 6 medical specialists with expertise in muscle physiology and skeletal muscle disorders performed the review following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) model. The TEP planned a research on PubMed selecting “choline” as MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) term adding to PubMed Search Builder the terms ”skeletal muscle” and “muscle striated”. TEP considered for eligibility articles published in the last 30 years, including original researches, particularly in vitro studies, and animal and clinical studies in the English language. Results: From the 1239 studies identified, TEP included 14 studies, 3 in vitro, 9 animal, and 2 clinical studies. Conclusions: Our scoping review elucidates and summarizes the crucial role of choline in modulating muscle fat metabolism, muscle proteins homeostasis, and the modulation of inflammation and autophagy.
