The effect of nutritional status and myogenic satellite cell age on turkey satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and expression of myogenic transcriptional regulatory factors and heparan sulfate proteoglycans syndecan-4 and glypican-1.

Posthatch satellite cell mitotic activity is a critical component of muscle development and growth. Satellite cells are myogenic stem cells that can be induced by nutrition to follow other cellular developmental pathways, and whose mitotic activity declines with age. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of restricting protein synthesis on the proliferation and differentiation, expression of myogenic transcriptional regulatory factors myogenic determination factor 1, myogenin, and myogenic regulatory factor 4, and expression of the heparan sulfate proteoglycans syndecan-4 and glypican-1 in satellite cells isolated from 1-d-, 7-wk-, and 16-wk-old turkey pectoralis major muscle (1 d, 7 wk, and 16 wk cells, respectively) by using variable concentrations of Met and Cys.

The effect of syndecan-4 and glypican-1 expression on age-related changes in myogenic satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and fibroblast growth factor 2 responsiveness.

Satellite cells are multipotential stem cells responsible for muscle growth and regeneration. Satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and responsiveness to fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is, in part, regulated by the heparan sulfate proteoglycans syndecan-4 and glypican-1. Syndecan-4 and glypican-1 expression declines with satellite cell age and may be associated with decreased satellite cell activity.

Migration of turkey muscle satellite cells is enhanced by the syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain through the activation of RhoA.

Syndecan-4 (S4) is a cell membrane-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan that forms oligomers in muscle satellite cells. The S4 oligomers activate protein kinase Cα (PKCα) through the S4 cytoplasmic domain and may regulate the activation of ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA), a signal transduction molecule down-stream of PKCα which is thought to influence cell migration. However, little is known about the function of the S4 cytoplasmic domain in satellite cell migration and RhoA activation.

Syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain regulation of turkey satellite cell focal adhesions and apoptosis.

Syndecan-4 is a cell membrane proteoglycan composed of a transmembrane core protein and substituted glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains. The core protein has three domains: extracellular, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.

Nampt/visfatin/PBEF affects expression of myogenic regulatory factors and is regulated by interleukin-6 in chicken skeletal muscle cells.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt/visfatin/PBEF) has been identified as a rate-limiting NAD(+) biosynthetic enzyme and an adipokine found in the circulation. Human and chicken skeletal muscles are reported to have the highest level of Nampt expression among various tissues whose functional significance remains undetermined. Expression of Nampt is regulated by interleukin-6 (IL-6), an essential cytokine for postnatal muscle growth in mammals.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of fatty acids on the proliferation, differentiation, and expression of syndecan-4 and glypican-1 in avian myogenic satellite cells (SC). SC derived from the pectoralis major (PM) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles of the turkey and chicken were individually administered 8 different fatty acids in defined medium during proliferation. A parallel set of turkey SC was induced to differentiate.

Role of syndecan-4 side chains in turkey satellite cell growth and development.

Syndecan-4 is a cell membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is composed of a core protein and covalently attached glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and N-linked glycosylated (N-glycosylated) chains. Syndecan-4 has been shown to function independent of its GAG chains. Syndecan-4 may derive its biological function from the N-glycosylated chains due to the biological role of N-glycosylated chains in protein folding and cell membrane localization.

Lipid metabolism, adipocyte depot physiology and utilization of meat animals as experimental models for metabolic research.

Meat animals are unique as experimental models for both lipid metabolism and adipocyte studies because of their direct economic value for animal production. This paper discusses the principles that regulate adipogenesis in major meat animals (beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs), the definition of adipose depot-specific regulation of lipid metabolism or adipogenesis, and introduces the potential value of these animals as models for metabolic research including mammary biology and the ontogeny of fatty livers.

Enhanced understanding of muscle stem cell biology and function is essential for developing technologies and strategies to augment the metabolic efficiency and muscle hypertrophy of growing animals potentially leading to greater efficiency and reduced environmental impacts of animal production, while concomitantly improving product uniformity and consumer acceptance and enjoyment of muscle foods.

Extracellular matrix proteoglycan decorin-mediated myogenic satellite cell responsiveness to transforming growth factor-beta1 during cell proliferation and differentiation Decorin and transforming growth factor-beta1 in satellite cells.

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a potent inhibitor of muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Decorin, a small proteoglycan in the extracellular matrix, binds to TGF-beta1 and modulates the activity of TGF-beta1 during muscle cell growth and development. However, its interaction with TGF-beta1 and involvement in myogenesis is not well characterized.

The syndecans are a family of cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans consisting of a core protein with covalently attached glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. Syndecan-4 expression in skeletal muscle is increased in growth-selected animals during proliferation. Previous studies have suggested that cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans like syndecan-4 are involved in fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) signaling by FGF2 binding to the heparan sulfate chains.

Phospho-MAPK as a marker of myogenic satellite cell responsiveness to growth factors.

To determine if differential response to growth factor stimuli between subpopulations of satellite cells was due to variation in the levels of activated intracellular signaling proteins, the levels of phospho-MAPK (phospho-ERK 1/2) were determined in clonal populations of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) satellite cells. Relative levels of phospho-ERK 1/2 between clones were determined by Western blotting of extracts from satellite cells exposed to growth factor stimuli. Initial measurements using serum mitogenic stimuli showed differences in phospho-MAPK levels between the clonal subpopulations, but the responses did not correlate with proliferation rates of the individual clones (P>0.

Effects of glypican-1 on turkey skeletal muscle cell proliferation, differentiation and fibroblast growth factor 2 responsiveness.

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan, glypican-1, is a low affinity receptor for fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Fibroblast growth factor 2 is a potent stimulator of skeletal muscle cell proliferation and an inhibitor of differentiation. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans like glypican-1 are required for FGF2 to transduce an intracellular signal.

Developmental regulated expression of syndecan-1 and glypican in pectoralis major muscle in turkeys with different growth rates.

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans, syndecan-1 and glypican, are low-affinity receptors for fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Since FGF2 stimulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation but inhibits differentiation, differences in syndecan-1 and glypican expression might affect muscle development and growth by changing the intensity of FGF2 signaling. In the present study, the pectoralis major muscle from 14 to 24-day-old-embryos, and from 1 to 16-week-old birds from a turkey line (F) selected for increased 16-week bodyweight and its genetic control line (RBC2), were used to address how syndecan-1 and glypican are expressed during skeletal muscle formation.
