Abstract
- Fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) are a population of stem cells in skeletal muscle that play multiple roles in muscle repair and regeneration through their complex secretome; however, it is not well understood how the FAP secretome is altered with muscle disuse atrophy. Previous work suggests that the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β is increased in FAPs with disuse and denervation. Inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion are also known to stimulate the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here, we examined the microRNA (miRNA) cargo of FAP-derived, platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRaþ) EVs from hindlimb muscles of wild-type and IL-1β KO mice after 14 days of single-hindlimb immobilization. Hindlimb muscles were isolated from mice following the immobilization period, and PDGFRaþ extracellular vesicles were isolated using size-exclusion chromatography and immunoprecipitation. Microarrays were performed to detect changes in miRNAs with unloading and IL-1β deficiency. Results indicate that the PDGFRaþ, FAP-derived EVs show a significant increase in miRNAs, such as miR-let-7c, miR-let-7b, miR-181a, and miR-124. These miRNAs have previously been demonstrated to play important roles in cellular senescence and muscle atrophy. Furthermore, the expression of these same miRNAs was not significantly altered in FAP-derived EVs isolated from the immobilized IL-1β KO. These data suggest that disuse-related activation of IL-1β can mediate the miRNA cargo of FAP-derived EVs, contributing directly to the release of senescence- and atrophyrelated miRNAs. Therapies targeting FAPs in settings associated with muscle disuse atrophy may therefore have the potential to preserve muscle function and enhance muscle recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
