Abstract
Poor skeletal muscle fitness contributes to many chronic disease states, including obesity, heart failure, primary muscle disorders, and age-related sarcopenia. Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a striated muscle–enriched nuclear receptor coregulator known to suppress mitochondrial oxidative capacity. To investigate the role of RIP140 in skeletal muscle, striated muscle–specific RIP140-deficient (strNrip1–/–) mice were generated and characterized. strNrip1–/– mice displayed an enhanced endurance performance phenotype. RNA-sequence (RNA-seq) analysis of glycolytic fast-twitch muscle from strNrip1–/– mice identified a broad array of differentially upregulated metabolic and structural muscle genes known to be induced by endurance training, including pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration, fatty acid oxidation, slow muscle fiber type, and angiogenesis. In addition, muscle RIP140 deficiency induced expansive neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remodeling. Integration of RNA-seq results with CUT&RUN analysis of strNrip1–/– myotubes identified Wnt16 as a candidate effector for the NMJ biogenesis in RIP140-deficient skeletal myotubes. We conclude that RIP140 serves as a physiological “rheostat” for a broad coordinated network of metabolic and structural genes involved in skeletal muscle fitness.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
