Obesity inhibits muscle regeneration, but resveratrol may enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle regeneration by activating AMPK.
Obesity is increasing rapidly worldwide and is accompanied by many complications, including impaired muscle regeneration. Obesity is known to inhibit AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, which impedes mitochondrial biogenesis, myogenic differentiation and muscle regeneration. Resveratrol has an effective anti-obesity effect, but its effect on regeneration of muscle in obese mice remains to be tested. We hypothesized that resveratrol activates AMPK and mitochondrial biogenesis to improve muscle regeneration. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a control diet or a 60% high-fat diet with or without resveratrol supplementation for 8 weeks and, then, the tibialis anterior muscle was subjected to cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury. Muscle tissue was collected at 3 and 7 d after injury. We found that resveratrol enhanced both proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells following injury in obese mice. Markers of mitochondrial biogenesis were upregulated in resveratrol-treated mice. In C2C12 myogenic cells, resveratrol activated AMPK and stimulated the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, which were associated with enhanced myogenic differentiation. Such effects of resveratrol were abolished by AMPK alpha 1 ablation, showing the mediatory roles of AMPK. In summary, dietary resveratrol activates AMPK/proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha axis to facilitate mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle regeneration impaired due to obesity.
