Astragalus polysaccharide enhances OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation to stabilize PINK1 to induce mitophagy in D-galactose treated C2C12 myoblasts
Background
Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has been shown to alleviate muscle atrophy. This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of APS on D-galactose (D-gal)-induced mitochondrial autophagy in C2C12 myoblasts.
Methods
Cell viability in C2C12 myoblasts was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. To further elucidate the role of APS, we evaluated skeletal muscle cell diameter and mitochondrial autophagy in C2C12 myoblasts, with and without O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Immunofluorescence staining for myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and western blot analysis were employed. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to examine the interaction between OGT and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1). In vivo, male C57BL/6 J mice were treated with D-gal to induce sarcopenia, and APS was administered to assess its effects on muscle function and mitochondrial health.
Results
APS promoted mitophagy in vitro by inducing O-GlcNAcylation through OGT. Knockdown of OGT significantly weakened the protective effects of APS. OGT modifies PINK1 with O-GlcNAcylation through the S425 site. In vivo, APS treatment significantly improved grip strength and muscle mass in D-gal-induced sarcopenia mice. Histological analysis showed increased cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle fibers, and Western blot analysis revealed enhanced expression of LC3II, PINK1, and Parkin in muscle tissues.
Conclusion
Collectively, APS promotes OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation to stabilize PINK1, thereby facilitating mitophagy in D-gal-treated C2C12 myoblasts in vitro. In vivo, APS improves muscle function and mitochondrial health in a mouse model of sarcopenia. These findings suggest that APS could serve as a potential therapeutic agent for muscle atrophy and related conditions.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
