BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysregulation in skeletal myocytes is considered a major factor in aged sarcopenia. In this study, we aimed to study the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) on Sestrin2-mediated mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in aged skeletal muscles.
METHODS: C2C12 myoblasts were stimulated by 50 μM 7β-hydroxycholesterol (7β-OHC) to observe the changes of DNA damage, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), mitochondrial ROS and PGC-1α protein. The PGC-1α silence in the C2C12 cells was established by siRNA transfection. The levels of DNA damage, Δψm, mitochondrial ROS, Sestrin2 and p-S6K1/S6K1 proteins were observed after the PGC-1α silence in the C2C12 cells. Recombinant Sestrin2 treatment was used to observe the changes of DNA damage, Δψm, mitochondrial ROS and p-S6K1/S6K1 protein in the 7β-OHC-treated or PGC-1α siRNA-transfected C2C12 cells. Wild-type (WT) mice and muscle-specific PGC-1α conditional knockout (MKO) mice, including young and old, were used to analyse the effects of PGC-1α on muscle function and the levels of Sestrin2 and p-S6K1 in the white gastrocnemius muscles. Recombinant Sestrin2 was administrated to analyse its effects on muscle function in the old WT mice and old MKO mice.
RESULTS: 7β-OHC treatment induced DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction and decrease of PGC-1α protein in the C2C12 cells. PGC-1α silence also induced DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in the C2C12 cells. Additionally, PGC-1α silence or 7β-OHC treatment decreased the levels of Sestrin2 and p-S6K1/S6K1 protein in the C2C12 cells. Recombinant Sestrin2 treatment significantly improved the DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in the 7β-OHC-treated or PGC-1α siRNA-transfected C2C12 cells. At the same age, muscle-specific PGC-1α deficiency aggravated aged sarcopenia and decreased the levels of Sestrin2 and p-S6K1 in the white gastrocnemius muscles when compared to the WT mice. Recombinant Sestrin2 treatment improved muscle function and increased p-S6K1 levels in the old two genotypes.
CONCLUSION: This research demonstrates that PGC-1α participates in regulating mitochondrial function in aged sarcopenia through effects on the Sestrin2-mediated mTORC1 pathway.
