Abstract
Obesity triggers skeletal muscle physio-pathological alterations. However, the crosstalk between adipose tissue and myogenic cells remains poorly understood during obesity. We identified NID-1 among the adipose tissue secreted factors impairing myogenic potential of human myoblasts and murine muscle stem cells in vitro. Mice under High Fat Diet (HFD) displayed increased NID-1 expression in the skeletal muscle endomysium associated with intramuscular fat adipose tissue expansion and compromised muscle stem cell function. We show that NID-1 is highly secreted by skeletal muscle fibro-adipogenic/mesenchymal progenitors (FAPs) during obesity. We demonstrate that increased muscle NID-1 impairs muscle stem cells proliferation and primes the fibrogenic differentiation of FAPs, giving rise to an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. Finally, we propose a model in which obesity leads to skeletal muscle extracellular matrix remodeling by FAPs, mediating the alteration of myogenic function by adipose tissue and highlighting the key role of NID-1 in the crosstalk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.
