RESUMO

Adult skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC) are the regenerative precursors of myofibers and also have an important role in myofiber growth, adaptation, and maintenance by fusing to the myofibers-a process referred to as "myonuclear accretion." Due to a focus on MuSC function during regeneration, myofibers remain a largely overlooked component of the MuSC niche influencing MuSC fate. Here, we describe a method to directly measure the rate of myonuclear accretion in vitro and in vivo using ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU)-based tracing of MuSC progeny. This method supports the dissection of MuSC intrinsic and myofiber-derived factors influencing myonuclear accretion as an alternative fate of MuSCs supporting myofiber homeostasis and plasticity.

RESUMO

Due to the post-mitotic nature of skeletal muscle fibers, adult muscle maintenance relies on dedicated muscle stem cells (MuSCs). In most physiological contexts, MuSCs support myofiber homeostasis by contributing to myonuclear accretion, which requires a coordination of cell-type specific events between the myofiber and MuSCs. Here, we addressed the role of the kinase AMPKα2 in the coordination of these events supporting myonuclear accretion. We demonstrate that AMPKα2 deletion impairs skeletal muscle regeneration. Through in vitro assessments of MuSC myogenic fate and EdU-based cell tracing, we reveal a MuSC-specific role of AMPKα2 in the regulation of myonuclear accretion, which is mediated by phosphorylation of the non-metabolic substrate BAIAP2. Similar cell tracing in vivo shows that AMPKα2 knockout mice have a lower rate of myonuclear accretion during regeneration, and that MuSC-specific AMPKα2 deletion decreases myonuclear accretion in response to myofiber contraction. Together, this demonstrates that AMPKα2 is a MuSC-intrinsic regulator of myonuclear accretion.
