- Abstract
The central dogma of molecular biology dictates the general flow of molecular information from DNA that leads to a functional cellular outcome. In skeletal muscle fibers, the extent to which global myonuclear transcriptional alterations, accounting for epigenetic and post-transcriptional influences, contribute to an adaptive stress response is not clearly defined. In this investigation, we leveraged an integrated analysis of the myonucleus-specific DNA methylome and transcriptome, as well as myonuclear small RNA profiling to molecularly define the early phase of skeletal muscle fiber hypertrophy. The analysis of myonucleus-specific mature microRNA and other small RNA species provides new directions for exploring muscle adaptation and complemented the methylation and transcriptional information. Our integrated multi-omics interrogation revealed a coordinated myonuclear molecular landscape during muscle loading that coincides with an acute and rapid reduction of oxidative metabolism. This response may favor a biosynthesis-oriented metabolic program that supports rapid hypertrophic growth., Competing Interests: None declared., (© The Author(s) 2023.
