The beneficial effects of the androgen–AR signaling pathway on sarcopenia have been pointed out, but the etiologic mechanism remains unsolved. Sarcopenia differs from usual muscle atrophy in that it is closely related to fiber-type shifts. This was one of our strong motivations to generate a new original mouse model of fast-twitch muscle-specific AR knockout in order to better understand the AR function in skeletal muscles. The model represented phenotypes of sarcopenia with aging and showed that the AR in fast-twitch muscles was the dominant regulator of muscle fiber-type composition and function. We also reported the importance of polyamine biosynthesis, which was regulated by AR, on muscle metabolism. These insights may pave the way for future drug development for sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is distinct from normal muscle atrophy in that it is closely related to a shift in the muscle fiber type. Deficiency of the anabolic action of androgen on skeletal muscles is associated with sarcopenia; however, the function of the androgen receptor (AR) pathway in sarcopenia remains poorly understood. We generated a mouse model (fast-twitch muscle-specific AR knockout [fmARKO] mice) in which the AR was selectively deleted in the fast-twitch muscle fibers. In young male mice, the deletion caused no change in muscle mass, but it reduced muscle strength and fatigue resistance and induced a shift in the soleus muscles from fast-twitch fibers to slow-twitch fibers (14% increase, P = 0.02). After middle age, with the control mice, the male fmARKO mice showed much less muscle function, accompanied by lower hindlimb muscle mass; this phenotype was similar to the progression of sarcopenia. The bone mineral density of the femur was significantly reduced in the fmARKO mice, indicating possible osteosarcopenia. Microarray and gene ontology analyses revealed that in male fmARKO mice, there was downregulation of polyamine biosynthesis-related geneswhich was confirmed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay and the primary cultured myofibers. None of the AR deletion-related phenotypes were observed in female fmARKO mice. Our findings showed that the AR pathway had essential muscle type- and sex-specific roles in the differentiation toward fast-twitch fibers and in the maintenance of muscle composition and function. The AR in fast-twitch muscles was the dominant regulator of muscle fiber-type composition and muscle function, including the muscle–bone relationship.
