Nestin contributes to skeletal muscle homeostasis and regeneration

Abstract: Nestin, a member of the cytoskeletal family of intermediate filaments, regulates the onset of myogenic differentiation through bidirectional signaling with the kinase Cdk5. Here, we show that these effects are also reflected at the organism level, as there is a loss of skeletal muscle mass in nestin (NesKO) mice, reflected as reduced lean (muscle) mass in the mice. Further examination of muscles in male mice revealed that these effects stemmed from nestin-deficient muscles being more prone to spontaneous regen… Show more

“…Interestingly, Nes −/− mice showed increased explorative activity when maintained in the IntelliCage housing, as assessed by the number of visits and nose pokes in the corners of the IntelliCages. This was not detected by previous investigations that did not reveal increased locomotor activity or anxiety of Nes −/− mice as assessed by the open field test [28] or voluntary treadmill running [38]. Thus, the automated dynamic Intellicage home cage system might be more sensitive for assessing some aspects of mouse behavior.…”

“…Whereas mAKAP␤-dependent signaling explains how MEF2-HDAC complexes can be dissociated, the protein kinase(s) responsible for phosphorylating MEF2D Ser-444 in myocytes and maintaining HDAC binding is unknown. Onecandidateiscyclin-dependentprotein5(Cdk5),whichphosphorylates Ser-444 in neurons and heterologous cells (9,27) and is inhibited by nestin during skeletal myoblast differentiation (28). It is worth noting that whereas the class IIa HDACs HDAC4 and HDAC5 can both bind MEF2D, neither is a MEF2D deacetylase (29).…”

“…Since then it has been widely described as a marker for stem or progenitor cells, mainly in the developing central nervous system 2 , 3 , but also heart 4 , 5 , bone marrow 6 , and others. Following cell differentiation, nestin is reportedly replaced by other cell-type specific IF 7 – 9 , and its expression is predominantly restricted to areas of regeneration in healthy adult tissues 3 , such as skeletal muscle 10 , hair follicles 11 , dopaminergic neurons 12 and neural stem cells 13 , 14 . Nestin is also expressed in kidney podocytes 15 , 16 and the neuromuscular junction 17 .…”
