Abstract
BACKGROUND: Myopathic changes are commonly described in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients, including muscular atrophy and weakness. Satellite cells (SCs) play a major role in skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration after injury. A mouse model of resistance to thyroid hormone-TRα1PV demonstrated impaired skeletal muscle regeneration after injury with significant reduction of SCs, suggesting that exhaustion of the SC pool contributes to the impaired regeneration. To test this hypothesis, SC activation and proliferation were analyzed in vivo in response to skeletal muscle injury and during aging. METHODS: SCs of TRα1PV male mice were analyzed four days after cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, and they were compared to wild-type (WT) male animals. TRα-knockdown C2C12 myoblasts were injected into injured skeletal muscle, and four days after transplantation, the in vivo behavior was compared to control C2C12 myoblasts. Skeletal muscle regeneration was compared in younger and older TRα1PV and WT animals. RESULTS: The total number of SCs in skeletal muscle of TRα1PV mice was significantly lower than control, both before and shortly after muscle injury, with significant impairment of SC activation, consistent with SC pool exhaustion. TRα-knockdown myoblasts showed impaired in vivo proliferation and migration. TRα1PV mice had skeletal muscle loss and significant impairment in skeletal muscle regeneration with aging. This translated to a significant reduction of the SC pool with aging compared to WT mice. CONCLUSION: TRα plays an important role in the maintenance of the SC pool. Impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in TRα1PV mice is associated with insufficient SC activation and proliferation, as well as the progressive loss of the SC pool with aging. Regulation of the SC pool and SC proliferation provides a therapeutic target to enhance skeletal muscle regeneration and possibly slow age-associated sarcopenia.
