Definitions

  • the present invention is directed towards a composition and method for inducing muscle hypertrophy via satellite cells fusion to muscle fibres and for inducing a substantially simultaneous replenishment of myogenic precursor cells in response to exercise.
  • Body composition including muscle, is influenced both by genetic factors and environmental stimuli.
  • Important environmental factors or stimuli which effect muscle metabolism include food intake and exercise (Rennie MJ. Body maintenance and repair: how food and exercise keep the musculoskeletal system in good shape. Exp Physiol. 2005 Jul;90(4):427-36).
  • Gene and protein expression patterns change in response to stimuli. This results in muscle adaptations such as muscle atrophy (loss) or muscle hypertrophy (gain).
  • the determination of muscle loss or gain is the net effect of both positive and negative factors governing muscle development.
  • 'True' muscle hypertrophy can be defined as "as an increase in fiber diameter without an apparent increase in the number of muscle fibers, accompanied by enhanced protein synthesis and augmented contractile force" (Sartorelli V, Fulco
  • Satellite cells are a small population of quiescent muscle precursor cells that occupy a "satellite" position immediately outside of muscle fibers (Mauro i A. Satellite cell of skeletal muscle fibers. J Biophys Biochem Cytol. 1961 Feb;9:493- 5). They are normally maintained in a quiescent state and become activated to fulfill roles of routine maintenance, repair and hypertrophy. Satellite cells are thought to be muscle-specific stem cells which are capable of producing large numbers of differentiated progeny as well as being capable of self-renewal (Collins CA, Partridge TA. Self-renewal of the adult skeletal muscle satellite cell. Cell Cycle. 2005 Oct;4(10): 1338-41).
  • Satellite cells In order that satellite cells can fulfill their biological role, they • must become activated, proliferate, differentiate and fuse to existing muscle cells (Anderson JE. The satellite cell as a companion in skeletal muscle plasticity: currency, conveyance, clue, connector and colander. J Exp Biol. 2006 Jun;209(Pt 12):2276-92). In this way, multinucleate muscle fibers are maintained or increased in size in response to stimuli.
  • Activation of satellite cells is essential for their proper function and is defined as "an entry into Gl from quiescence and mobilization" (Anderson JE, Wozniak AC. Satellite cell activation on fibers: modeling events in vivo—an invited review. Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2004 May;82(5):300-10).
  • One of the main factors which has been associated with the activation of satellite cells is nitric oxide (NO) (Anderson JE, Wozniak AC. Satellite cell activation on fibers: modeling events in vivo ⁇ an invited review. Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2004 May;82(5):300-10).
  • NO is a small, freely diffusible signaling molecule produced in muscle by neuronal NO- synthase.
  • NO release is regulated by stretching in skeletal muscle and is thought to be responsible for early satellite cell activation in response to muscle injury in proximal and distal muscle fibers (Anderson JE. A role for nitric oxide in muscle repair: nitric oxide-mediated activation of muscle satellite cells. MoI Biol Cell. 2000 May;l l(5):1859-74).
  • NO activity is largely controlled by regulating the enzymes responsible for synthesizing NO - Nitric Oxide Synthases (NOSs). All major nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms and splice variants, including a muscle-specific splice variant, are expressed in the skeletal muscles of all mammals (Stamler JS, Meissner G. Physiology of nitric oxide in skeletal muscle. Physiol Rev. 2001 Jan;81(l):209-237). Furthermore, the inner lining, or endothelium, of blood vessels uses NO to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax. This has the effect of dilating the artery thereby increasing blood flow in the affected region.
  • NO has also been shown to play an important role in myoblast and satellite cell fusion (Pisconti A, Brunelli S, Di Padova M, De Palma C, Deponti D, Baesso S, Sartorelli V, Cossu G, Clementi E. Follistatin induction by nitric oxide through cyclic GMP: a tightly regulated signaling pathway that controls myoblast fusion. J Cell Biol. 2006 Jan 16;172(2):233-44) thereby contributing to muscle maintenance and growth.
  • Myoblast fusion is itself a complex process involving migration, recognition and adhesion, each involving several mechanisms and factors.
  • stem cells are to function properly, their pools must be maintained. Therefore, a defining feature of stem cells is their ability of self-renewal in addition to being able to produce differentiated cells (Collins CA, Partridge TA. Self-renewal of the adult skeletal muscle satellite cell. Cell Cycle. 2005 Oct;4(10):1338-41). Research has shown that the pool of satellite cells is maintained not only by self- renewal but also by contributions from the hematopoietic, i.e. blood, system (Doyonnas R, LaBarge MA, Sacco A, Charlton C, Blau HM. Hematopoietic contribution to skeletal muscle regeneration by myelomonocytic precursors. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004 Sep 14;101(37):13507-12).
  • hematopoietic stem cells contribute to muscle maintenance, the cells must migrate to the area at which they are required for repair or maintenance. This directed migration of stem/progenitor cells is termed 'mobilization'.
  • a main mechanism for the mobilization of stem cells is through the release of signaling molecules at the site of the stem cell requirement wherein the stem cells express the corresponding cell surface receptors (Papayannopoulou T. Current mechanistic scenarios in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell mobilization. Blood. 2004 Mar l;103(5):1580-5).
  • CXCR-4 receptor An important receptor-ligand system for the relationship between the hematopoietic and muscle systems is the CXCR-4 receptor and the secreted chemokine, SDF-I (Ratajczak MZ, Majka M, Kucia M, Drukala J, Pietrzkowski Z, Peiper S, Janowska-Wieczorek
  • SDF-I Rosatajczak MZ, Majka M, Kucia M, Drukala J, Pietrzkowski Z, Peiper S, Janowska-Wieczorek
  • the present invention comprises, in accordance with an embodiment thereof, the administration, to a mammal, of a composition comprising at least creatine or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives of creatine such as salts and esters of creatine and a source of fucoidan, to induce muscle hypertrophy via satellite cell fusion to muscle fibres and to provide substantially coincident support for the replenishment of myogenic precursor cells in response to exercise.
  • a composition comprising at least creatine or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives of creatine such as salts and esters of creatine and a source of fucoidan, to induce muscle hypertrophy via satellite cell fusion to muscle fibres and to provide substantially coincident support for the replenishment of myogenic precursor cells in response to exercise.
  • the present invention is directed towards inducing muscle hypertrophy via satellite cell fusion to muscle fibres and provide substantially coincident support for the replenishment of myogenic precursor cells in response to exercise.
  • the composition and method of the present invention accomplishes said support by encouraging multiple distinct aspects of muscle-specific progenitor cell biology.
  • the term "muscle-specific progenitor cell” refers to any undifferentiated cell that is, or will be, at any time, capable of differentiating into any cell type which contributes to mature, functional adult skeletal muscle. This, for the purposes of the present disclosure, includes satellite cells and any other multi-potent cells such as hematopoietic stem cells which have the potential to contribute to skeletal muscle hypertrophy and growth, development or maintenance. It is herein understood that, despite a lack of consensus regarding nomenclature, there exists a continuum of cell types that lie between a classical pluripotent 'embryonic stem cell' capable of giving rise to all cell types on one extreme and a terminally-differentiated cell on the other extreme.
  • undifferentiated cell types having increasingly limited developmental potential progressing from an embryonic stem cell toward a terminally-differentiated cell exist between said extremes. Furthermore, it is herein understood that such undifferentiated cells with limited, yet still multiple, developmental possibilities are generally termed 'tissue- specific stem cells'. However, undifferentiated cells with only one developmental possibility are generally termed 'progenitor cells'.
  • Ingredients of the present composition may also be fine-milled in order to improve the immediacy of absorption, and thus the rate of bioavailability upon consumption by an individual.
  • the fine-milling techniques and the immediacy of absorption employed in the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/709,526, entitled “Method For Increasing The Rate And Consistency Of Bioavailability Of Supplemental Dietary Ingredients” and U.S. Patent Application No. 11/709,525, entitled “Method for a Supplemental Dietary Composition Having a Multi-Phase Dissolution Profile,” both herein incorporated fully by reference.
  • rate of bioavailability is increased via a narrowing of particle size range and a concomitant reduction in the average particle size, improving the immediacy of absorption of said supplemental dietary ingredient. Furthermore, the consistency of dissolution, and thus the absorption of orally administered supplemental dietary ingredients, is improved by the fine-milled process.
  • fine-milled and/or fine-milling refers to the process of micronization.
  • Micronization is a mechanical process that involves the application of force to a particle, thereby resulting in a reduction in the size of the particle.
  • the force in the case of micronization may be applied in any manner such as, e.g., the collision of particles at high rates of speed, grinding, or by an air-jet micronizer.
  • fine-milled particles are obtained by jet- milling with nitrogen and compressed air.
  • particle size refers to the diameter of the particle.
  • average particle size means that at least 50% of the particles in a sample will have the specified particle size.
  • at least 80% of the particles in a sample will have the specified particle size, and more preferably, at least 90% of the particles in a given sample will have the specified particle size.
  • the preferred particle size range for fine-milled particles is between 2 and 50 microns.
  • Methods for particle size determination which may be employed are, for example, sieves, sedimentation, electrozone sensing (Coulter counter), microscopy, and/or Low Angle Laser Light Scattering.
  • the preferred methods for the particle size determination of the present invention are the methods which are most commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry, such as laser diffraction, e.g., via light scattering Coulter Delsa 440SX.

  • Creatine use has been thoroughly studied and is well-established as a beneficial dietary supplement for replenishing energy stores in working muscle cells (Greenhaff PL, Bodin K, Soderlund K, Hultman E. Effect of oral creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle phosphocreatine resynthesis. Am J Physiol. 1994 May;266(5 Pt l):E725-30).
  • the resultant increase in muscular energy stores from creatine supplementation in an individual, combined with physical exercise leads to increased strength, and a reduction in fatigue resulting from high-intensity exercise (Greenhaff PL, Casey A, Short AH, Harris R, Soderlund K, Hultman E.

  • Fucoidans are naturally-occurring sulfated sugar polymers. They are constituents of edible seaweed and have been consumed by humans for centuries. The specific type of fucoidan differs dependent upon the source. Brown seaweed, in particular, is a source of branched-chain Fucoidans and several species have been used experimentally as a source of Fucoidans including Fucus vesiculosus, Undaria pinnatifida and Laminaria japonica. One of the main and earliest mechanisms elucidated for the activity of Fucoidans has been the binding with L- and P-selectin, members of a family of cell surface receptors involved in the inflammatory response.
  • selectins mediate the binding and adhesion of cells expressing the selectins to other cells such as those on the endothelium upon cytokine activation (Bevilacqua MP, Nelson RM. Selectins. J Clin Invest. 1993 Feb;91(2):379-87).
  • Fucoidan (Berteau O, Mulloy B. Sulfated fucans, fresh perspectives: structures, functions, and biological properties of sulfated fucans and an overview of enzymes active toward this class of polysaccharide. Glycobiology. 2003 Jun;13(6):29R-40R). Fucoidan has been shown to have immunomodulating effects by stimulating lymphocytes and macrophages (Choi EM, Kim AJ, Kim YO, Hwang JK. Immunomodulating activity of arabinogalactan and fucoidan in vitro. J Med Food. 2005 Winter;8(4):446-53).
  • fucoidan can induce the mobilization of these stem cells to muscles (Sweeney EA, Priestley GV, Nakamoto B, Collins RG, Beaudet AL, Papayannopoulou T. Mobilization of stem/progenitor cells by sulfated polysaccharides does not require selectin presence. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2000 Jun 6;97(12):6544-9). This effect is most likely due to the observed effect of increasing SDF-I plasma levels (Sweeney EA, Lortat- Jacob H, Priestley GV, Nakamoto B, Papayannopoulou T.

  • Sphinoglipids are important constituents of eukaryotic organisms.
  • sphingolipids and their metabolic products are highly bioactive molecules which are involved in the regulation of many important biological functions including cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis (Vesper H, Schmelz EM, Nikolova- Karakashian MN, Dillehay DL, Lynch DV, Merrill AH Jr. Sphingolipids in food and the emerging importance of sphingolipids to nutrition. J Nutr. 1999 Jul;129(7):1239- 50). Sphingolipid metabolism and biological function can be modulated by dietary intake of sphingolipids. Supplying supplemental sphingolipids promotes the synthesis of sphingosine 1 -phosphate.
  • Sphingosine 1 -phosphate is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite that has been shown to regulate a number of important biological functions including satellite cell activation (Nagata Y, Partridge TA, Matsuda R, Zammit PS. Entry of muscle satellite cells into the cell cycle requires sphingolipid signaling. J Cell Biol.

  • Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in many plant sources, most notably in grape skins, grape juice and red wine. One of the most abundant sources is from the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum. In plants, the biological function of resveratrol is as an antibiotic to fight infection. However, as a component of the diet, either as a constituent of plant-based foods or as a nutritional supplement, resveratrol has been reported to confer many health benefits. The main beneficial function of polyphenols from plant sources is generally attributed to antioxidant activity. However, resveratrol has been shown to increase NO production by tissue-specific induction of NOSs (Das S, Alagappan VK, Bagchi D, Sharma HS, Maulik N, Das DK.

Abstract

La fonction biologique des cellules précurseurs du muscle squelettique dans la réparation et la croissance dudit muscle en réponse à l'exercice est favorisée par une composition complémentaire comprenant au moins de la créatine et de fucoïdine qui renforce les voies biochimiques impliquées dans l'entretien des cellules satellites du muscle squelettique et autres précurseurs myogéniques. La composition et la méthode de la présente invention induisent une hypertrophie musculaire via la fusion de cellules musculaires avec des fibres musculaires et une reconstitution quasiment simultanée des cellules précurseurs myogéniques en réponse à l'exercice chez un mammifère.
