Repair of injured muscle involves repair of injured myofibers through the involvement of dysferlin and its interacting partners, including annexin. Studies with mice and patients have established that dysferlin deficit leads to chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of the diseased muscle. However, longitudinal analysis of annexin deficit on muscle pathology and function is lacking. Here we show that unlike annexin A1, but similar to dysferlin, lack of annexin A2 (AnxA2) causes poor myofiber repair and progressive weakening with age. However, unlike dysferlin-deficient muscle, AnxA2-deficient muscles do not exhibit chronic inflammation or adipogenic replacement. Deletion of AnxA2 in dysferlin deficient mice reduces inflammation, adipogenic replacement, and loss in muscle function caused by dysferlin deficit. These results show that: a) AnxA2 facilitates myofiber repair, b) chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of dysferlinopathic muscle requires AnxA2, and c) inhibiting AnxA2-mediated inflammation is a novel therapeutic avenue for dysferlinopathy.
Annexin A2 links poor myofiber repair with inflammation and adipogenic replacement of the injured muscle.

View SamplesStudy objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea overlap syndrome is associated with excess mortality, and outcomes are related to the degree of hypoxemia. People at high altitude are susceptible to periodic breathing, and hypoxia at altitude is associated with cardio-metabolic dysfunction. Hypoxemia in these scenarios may be described as superimposed sustained plus intermittent hypoxia, or overlap hypoxia (OH), the effects of which have not been investigated. We aimed to characterize the cardio-metabolic consequences of OH in mice. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were subjected to either sustained hypoxia (SH, FiO2=0.10), intermittent hypoxia (IH, FiO2=0.21 for 12 hours, and FiO2 oscillating between 0.21 and 0.06, 60 times/hour, for 12 hours), OH (FiO2=0.13 for 12 hours, and FiO2 oscillating between 0.13 and 0.06, 60 times/hour, for 12 hours), or room air (RA), n=8/group. Blood pressure and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test were measured serially, and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) was assessed. Results: Systolic blood pressure transiently increased in IH and OH relative to SH and RA. RVSP did not increase in IH, but increased in SH and OH by 52% (p<0.001) and 20% (p=0.001). Glucose disposal worsened in IH and improved in SH, with no change in OH. Serum LDL and VLDL increased in OH and SH, but not in IH. Hepatic oxidative stress increased in all hypoxic groups, with the highest increase in OH. Conclusions: Overlap hypoxia may represent a unique and deleterious cardio-metabolic stimulus, causing systemic and pulmonary hypertension, and without protective metabolic effects characteristic of sustained hypoxia. Overall design: Whole liver mRNA profiles of C57BL/6J mice exposed to RA, SH, IH, or OH.
Combined intermittent and sustained hypoxia is a novel and deleterious cardio-metabolic phenotype.

View SamplesDepletion of essential nutrients triggers regulatory programs that prolong cell growth and survival. Starvation-induced processes increase nutrient transport, mobilize nutrient storage, and recycle nutrients between cellular components. This leads to an effective increase in intracellular nutrients, which may act as a negative feedback that down-regulates the starvation program. To examine how cells overcome this potential instability, we followed the transcription response of budding yeast transferred to medium lacking phosphate. Genes were induced in two temporal waves. The first wave was stably maintained and persisted even upon phosphate replenishment, indicating a positive feedback loop. This commitment was abolished after two hours with the induction of the second expression wave, coinciding with the reduction in cell growth rate. We identify genes that mediate this loss of commitment, and show that the overall temporal stability of the expression response depends on the sequential pattern of gene induction. Our results emphasize the key role of gene expression dynamics in optimizing cellular adaptation. Wild type cells were grown at high Phosphate medium, washed and transferred to no phosphate medium. Sample were taken every 15 minuets for 6 hours Overall design: 25 samples were taken during the time course. Expression data was normalized to the first time point (cells grown at high phosphate medium)
