Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Skeletal muscle has a pleiotropic role in organismal energy metabolism by storing protein as an energy source, or by excreting endocrine hormones. Muscle proteolysis is tightly controlled by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal signalling axis via a glucocorticoid-driven transcriptional programme. We unraveled the physiological significance of this catabolic process using skeletal muscle-specific glucocorticoid receptor (GR) knockout (GRmKO) mice. These mice have increased muscle mass but smaller adipose tissues. Metabolically, GRmKO mice show a drastic shift of energy utilization and storage in muscle, liver and adipose tissues. The resulting depletion of plasma alanine serves as a cue to increase plasma levels of FGF21 and activates liver-fat communication, leading to the activation of lipolytic genes in adipose tissues. This skeletal muscle-liver-fat signalling axis may serve as a target for the development of therapies against various metabolic diseases, including obesity.
