Lee NK, Skinner JP, Zajac JD, MacLean HE. Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 301: E172-E179, 2011. First published April 19, 2011; doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00094.2011.-The aim of this study is to determine if the Odc1 gene, which encodes ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, is directly regulated by the androgen receptor (AR) in skeletal muscle myoblasts and if Odc1 regulates myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We previously showed that expression of Odc1 is decreased in muscle from AR knockout male mice. In this study, we show in vivo that Odc1 expression is also decreased >60% in muscle from male muscle-specific AR knockout mice. In normal muscle homeostasis, Odc1 expression is regulated by age and sex, reflecting testosterone levels, as muscle of adult male mice expresses high levels of Odc1 compared with age-matched females and younger males. In vitro, expression of Odc1 is 10- and 1.5-fold higher in proliferating mouse C2C12 and human skeletal muscle myoblasts, respectively, than in differentiated myotubes. Dihydrotestosterone increases Odc1 levels 2.7- and 1.6-fold in skeletal muscle cell myoblasts after 12 and 24 h of treatment, respectively. Inhibition of ODC activity in C2C12 myoblasts by alpha-difluoromethylornithine decreases myoblast number by 40% and 66% following 48 and 72 h of treatment, respectively. In contrast, overexpression of Odc1 in C2C12 myoblasts results in a 27% increase in cell number vs. control when cells are grown under differentiation conditions for 96 h. This prolonged proliferation is associated with delayed differentiation, with reduced expression of the differentiation markers myogenin and Myf6 in Odc1-overexpressing cells. In conclusion, androgens act via the AR to upregulate Odc1 in skeletal muscle myoblasts, and Odc1 promotes myoblast proliferation and delays differentiation.
