Muscle recovery is dependent on the quiescent population of muscle stem cells-satellite cells. During muscle injury, satellite cells become mitotically active and begin the repair process by fusing with each other and/or with myofibers. Aging, prolonged inactivity, obesity, cachexia and other muscle wasting diseases are associated with a decreased number of quiescent and proliferating satellite cells, which impedes the repair process. A high-content/high-throughput platform was developed and utilized for robust phenotypic evaluation of human primary satellite cells in vitro for the discovery of chemical probes that may improve muscle recovery. A 1600 compound pilot screen was developed using two highly annotated small molecule libraries. This screen yielded 15 dose responsive compounds that increased proliferation rate in satellite cells derived from a single obese human donor. Two of these compounds remained dose responsive when counter-screened in 3-donor obese superlot. The Alk-5 inhibitor LY364947, was used as a positive control for assessing satellite cell proliferation/delayed differentiation. A multivariate approach was utilized for exploratory data analysis to discover proliferation vs. differentiation-dependent changes in cellular phenotype. Initial screening efforts successfully identified a number of phenotypic outcomes that are associated with desired effect of stimulation of proliferation and delayed differentiation.

The Effect of Early Post-Hatch Dietary Amino Acid Levels on Satellite Cell Dynamics in Turkeys. (Under the direction of Paul Mozdziak.) Satellite cells are defined as myonuclear myogenic stem cells residing between sarcolemma and basal lamina of the myofiber. Myofiber number is established during embryonic development. Post-hatch and post-natal muscle growth occurs exclusively through an increase in myofiber size. The increase of myofiber size in early post-hatch turkeys is predominantly dependent on the contribution of new myonuclei to pre-existing myofibers by the mitotically active satellite cell population. Preliminary data in broilers has revealed that supplementation with amino acid deficient diet immediately post-hatch results in an increase satellite cell mitotic activity in Pectoralis thoracicus muscle in 3-day-old chicks as compared to birds fed adequate and above requirement amino acid levels. Additionally, chicks denied feed for first three days ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of early post-hatch levels of dietary amino acids+/-0.88 NRC, 1.00 NRC, and 1.12 NRC), and feed deprivation on the satellite cell mitotic activity, pectoralis thoracicus muscle weight, and body weight of male turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Birds from each treatment were injected with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to label mitotically active cells. The right pectoralis thoracicus was harvested 1 h after BrdU injection for immunohistochemical and myofiber diameter analysis. On the third day post-hatch, satellite cell mitotic activity was the highest (P<0.05) in the 0.88 NRC amino acid treatment group and the lowest (P<0.05) in the feed-deprived group. On the fourth day post-hatch, feed-deprived birds exhibited the lowest (P<0.05) satellite cell mitotic activity and muscle weight. At 140 days of age, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) between treatments in body weight or pectoralis thoracicus muscle weight. Research evaluating species-related differences in apoptotic events and in genes regulating cell proliferation may be necessary to devise feeding strategies aimed at obtaining optimal pectoralis thoracicus muscle yield at market age.

NAFLD is generally exhibited by non-progressive simple steatosis. However, a significant subset of patient's progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) that is defined by the presence of steatosis, inflammation and hepatocyte injury with fibrosis. Unfortunately, there are no approved therapies for NAFLD or NASH and therefore therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Niclosamide is an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved anthelmintic drug that mediates its effect by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Niclosamide and its salt forms, Niclosamide Ethanolamine (NEN), and Niclosamide Piperazine (NPP) have shown efficacy in murine models of diet induced obesity characterized by attenuation of the prominent fatty liver disease phenotype and improved glucose metabolism. While the exact mechanism(s) underlying these changes remains unclear, the ability to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation leading to increased energy expenditure and lipid metabolism or attenuation of PKA mediated glucagon signaling in the liver have been proposed. Unfortunately, niclosamide has very poor water solubility, leading to low oral bioavailability. This, in addition to mitochondrial uncoupling activity and potential genotoxicity have reduced enthusiasm for its clinical use. More recently, salt forms of niclosamide, NEN and NPP, have demonstrated improved oral bioavailability while retaining activity. This suggests that development of safer more effective niclosamide derivatives for the treatment of NAFLD and Type 2 Diabetes may be possible. Herein we explored the ability of a series of N-substituted phenylbenzamide derivatives of the niclosamide salicylanilide chemotype to attenuate hepatic steatosis using a novel phenotypic in vitro model of fatty liver and the high fat diet-fed mouse model of diet induced obesity. These studies identified novel compounds with improved pre-clinical properties that attenuate hepatic steatosis in vitro and in vivo. These compounds with improved drug properties may be useful in a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of Coenzyme Q analog (MitoQ(10)) on oxidative phenotype and adipogenesis in myotubes derived from fast-glycolytic Pectoralis major (PM) and slow-oxidative Anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) muscles of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). The myotubes were subjected to the following treatments: fusion media alone, fusion media+125 nM MitoQ(10), and 500 nM MitoQ(10). Lipid accumulation was visualized by Oil Red O staining and quantified by measuring optical density of extracted lipid at 500 nm. Quantitative Real-Time PCR was utilized to quantify the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ) and PPARγ co-activator-1α (PGC-1α). MitoQ(10) treatment resulted in the highest (P&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.05) lipid accumulation in PM myotubes. MitoQ(10) up-regulated genes controlling oxidative mitochondrial biogenesis and adipogenesis in PM myotube cultures. In contrast, MitoQ(10) had a limited effect on adipogenesis and down-regulated oxidative metabolism in ALD myotube cultures. Differential response to MitoQ(10) treatment may be dependent on the cellular redox state. MitoQ(10) likely controls a range of metabolic pathways through its differential regulation of gene expression levels in myotubes derived from fast-glycolytic and slow-oxidative muscles.

The process of muscle recovery following injury and myonuclear accretion during growth is attributed to a small population of satellite cells located beneath the basal lamina of the myofiber. Several metabolic factors contribute to the activation of satellite cells in response to stress mediated by illness, injury or aging. This review will describe the regenerative properties of satellite cells, the processes of satellite cell activation and highlight the potential role of satellite cells in skeletal muscle growth, tissue engineering and meat production.
