项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The dynamic remodeling of skeletal muscle in size and fiber type composition is a critical adaptive response to meet different functional demands. However, this neural activity-dependent process also contributes to devastating disease states, such as muscle atrophy associated with neuromuscular dysfunction. Elucidating the molecular pathway that connects neural activity to muscle remodeling machinery would not only provide insight into this dynamically regulated physiological process but also offer opportunities for the development of effective therapy for muscle disease such as atrophy. Toward this goal, we have identified HDAC4, a negative regulator of MEF2 transcription factors, as a potential protein critical for neuromuscular activity-dependent muscle atrophy and remodeling. We found that HDAC4 is dramatically and invariably induced and activated in response to denervation and neuromuscular disease-induced atrophy. We have also found that HDAC4 is dynamically associated with the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) where it co-localizes with calcium/calmodulin dependent kinases (CaMK) and 14-3-3, two signaling effectors of neuromuscular activity that were previously shown to regulate HDAC4 function and subcellular localization. Interestingly, upon denervation, HDAC4 dissociates from the NMJ and becomes concentrated to the nucleus in muscle fibers. We showed that HDAC4 can repress the expression of contractile, structural and metabolic proteins implicated in muscle atrophy and remodeling. We propose that HDAC4 is a critical mediator that controls neuromuscular activity-dependent transcriptional reprogramming associated with muscle atrophy and fiber type specification. Aim 1. To characterize the mechanism by which neural activity regulates HDAC4 expression and activity. We will elucidate the mechanism by which HDAC4 is induced transcriptionally and characterize the regulation of CaMK-dependent HDAC4 phosphorylation and intracellular trafficking in response to neuromuscular dysfunction. Aim 2. To elucidate the function of HDAC4 in muscle remodeling, atrophy and fiber type transition in response to neuromuscular inactivity. We propose to use genetic mutation, gene transfer and pharmacological HDAC inhibitor to characterize the role of HDAC4 in the execution of muscle atrophy and fiber type transition in response to reduced neuromuscular activity. The proposed study will provide a critical and novel understanding of the signaling events that link neuromuscular activity to muscle remodeling as well as pathological atrophy and metabolic disorders. Given that HDAC4 activity can be inhibited pharmacologically, the proposed study could potentially be translated into a novel clinical treatment for muscle atrophy or muscle disorders associated with neuromuscular dysfunction. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Muscle function and property are controlled by neural input. Neural inactivity caused by neuromuscular disease and aging can lead to muscle atrophy and myofiber transition that contributes to insulin resistance. Elucidating the machinery and signaling pathway that connects neural activity to the reprogramming of muscle phenotype would therefore provide novel therapeutic opportunities for treating muscle atrophy and type II diabetes.

描述（由申请人提供）：骨骼肌在大小和纤维类型组成方面的动态重塑是满足不同功能需求的关键适应性反应。然而，这种神经活动依赖性过程也有助于破坏性疾病状态，例如与神经肌肉功能障碍相关的肌肉萎缩。阐明将神经活动与肌肉重塑机制联系起来的分子途径不仅可以深入了解这种动态调节的生理过程，还可以为开发有效治疗肌肉疾病（如萎缩）的方法提供机会。为了实现这一目标，我们已经确定了HDAC 4，MEF 2转录因子的负调节因子，作为神经肌肉活动依赖性肌肉萎缩和重塑的潜在关键蛋白。我们发现HDAC 4在去神经支配和神经肌肉疾病引起的萎缩中被显着且恒定地诱导和激活。我们还发现HDAC 4与神经肌肉接头（NMJ）动态相关，在那里它与钙/钙调蛋白依赖性激酶（CaMK）和14-3-3共定位，这是神经肌肉活动的两种信号效应器，之前已证明可以调节HDAC 4功能和亚细胞定位。有趣的是，在去神经支配时，HDAC 4从NMJ解离并浓缩到肌纤维中的细胞核。我们发现HDAC 4可以抑制与肌肉萎缩和重塑有关的收缩、结构和代谢蛋白的表达。我们认为HDAC 4是一个关键的介质，控制与肌肉萎缩和纤维类型规范相关的神经肌肉活动依赖性转录重编程。目标1。表征神经活动调节HDAC 4表达和活性的机制。我们将阐明HDAC 4转录诱导的机制，并描述CaMK依赖性HDAC 4磷酸化和细胞内运输对神经肌肉功能障碍的反应。目标2.阐明HDAC 4在神经肌肉失活引起的肌肉重塑、萎缩和纤维类型转变中的作用。我们建议使用基因突变，基因转移和药理学HDAC抑制剂来表征HDAC 4在神经肌肉活动减少时肌肉萎缩和纤维类型转换中的作用。这项研究将为神经肌肉活动与肌肉重塑以及病理性萎缩和代谢紊乱之间的联系提供一个关键和新颖的理解。考虑到HDAC 4活性可以被抑制，这项研究可能会被转化为一种新的临床治疗方法，用于治疗肌肉萎缩或与神经肌肉功能障碍相关的肌肉疾病。公共卫生相关性：肌肉功能和属性由神经输入控制。由神经肌肉疾病和衰老引起的神经不活动可导致肌肉萎缩和肌纤维转变，从而导致胰岛素抵抗。因此，阐明将神经活动与肌肉表型的重编程相联系的机制和信号通路将为治疗肌肉萎缩和II型糖尿病提供新的治疗机会。
