BackgroundDespite increasing knowledge of the pathogenesis of muscle ageing, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Based on an expression analysis of muscle biopsies from older Caucasian men, we undertook an in‐depth analysis of the expression of the long non‐coding RNA,H19, to identify molecular mechanisms that may contribute to the loss of muscle mass with age.MethodsWe carried out transcriptome analysis ofvastus lateralismuscle biopsies from 40 healthy Caucasian men aged 68–76 years from the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS) with respect to appendicular lean mass adjusted for height (ALMi). Validation and replication was carried out using qRT‐PCR in 130 independent male and female participants aged 73–83 years recruited into an extension of the HSS (HSSe). DNA methylation was assessed using pyrosequencing.ResultsLower ALMi was associated with higher muscleH19expression (r2= 0.177,P< 0.001). The microRNAs,miR‐675‐5p/3pencoded by exon 1 ofH19, were positively correlated withH19expression (Pearsonr= 0.192 and 0.182, respectively,P< 0.03), andmiR‐675‐5pexpression negatively associated with ALMi (r2= 0.629,P= 0.005). The methylation of CpGs within the H19 imprinting control region (ICR) were negatively correlated withH19expression (Pearsonr= −0.211 to −0.245,P≤ 0.05). Moreover, RNA and protein levels ofSMAD1and5, targets ofmiR‐675‐3p, were negatively associated withmiR‐675‐3p(r2= 0.792 and 0.760, respectively) andmiR‐675‐5p(r2= 0.584 and 0.723, respectively) expression, andSMAD1and5RNA levels positively associated with greater type II fibre size (r2= 0.184 and 0.246, respectively,P< 0.05).ConclusionsIncreased expression profiles ofH19/miR‐675‐5p/3pand lower expression of the anabolicSMAD1/5effectors of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling are associated with low muscle mass in older individuals.
