Transcription profiling of mouse wild type embryonic stem cells after blastocytst injection revealglobal corrections in MDX mice.

ABSTRACT: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an incurable neuromuscular degenerative disease, caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Mdx mice recapitulate DMD features. Here we show that injection of wild-type (WT) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into mdx blastocysts produces mice with improved pathology. A small fraction of WT ESCs incorporates into the mdx mouse nonuniformly to upregulate protein levels of dystrophin in the skeletal muscle. The chimeric muscle shows reduced regeneration and restores dystrobrevin, a dystrophin-related protein, in areas with high and with low dystrophin content. WT ESC injection also normalizes the amount of fat, a tissue that does not express dystrophin. ESC injection without dystrophin does not prevent the appearance of phenotypes in the skeletal muscle or in the fat. Thus, dystrophin supplied by the ESCs reverses disease in mdx mice globally. Experiment Overall Design: 3-week old mdx (C57BL/10ScSn-Dmdmdx/J, Jax labs) females were superovulated and mated with mdx males (Jax labs). Blastocysts were collected at 3.5 days afer mating, injected with 15 WT or mdx R26 ES cells. Injected blastocysts were then transferred into the uteri of pseudopregnant females and allowed to develop to term. Skeletal muscle from 4 month old chimeric male mice was collected, RNA was isolated and microarray analysis were performed.

iTRAQ Protemics of mdx vs. mdx/Actg1-TG mouse skeletal muscle

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disease caused by deleterious mutations in the DMD gene, rendering non-functional forms or complete absence of the protein dystrophin. Eccentric contraction-induced force loss is the most robust and reproducible phenotype of dystrophin-deficient skeletal muscle, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying force loss remain obscure. To this end, we utilized the mdx mouse model of DMD, which displays extreme sensitivity to eccentric contractions. An existing mouse line from our lab that overexpresses cytoplasmic gamma-actin specifically in skeletal muscle (mdx/Actg1-TG) was shown to significantly protect mdx muscle against contraction-induced force loss. To understand the mechanism behind this protection, we performed iTRAQ proteomics on mdx/Actg1-TG tibialis anterior (TA) muscle versus non-transgenic littermate controls to identify differentially-expressed proteins that may afford protection upon gamma-actin overexpression.

Gene expression profiles using microarrays in mdx and mdx/MMP-2-/- mice at 1 and 3 months of age

Project description:Matrix metalloprotease (MMP) -2 has been reported to be up-regulated in skeletal muscle in the lethal X-linked muscle disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is caused by loss of dystrophin. However, the role of MMP-2 in dystrophin-deficient muscle is not well known. The aim of this study was to verify the role of MMP-2 in dystrophin-deficient muscle by using mdx mice with genetic ablation of MMP-2 (mdx/MMP-2-/-). Gene expression profiles were analyzed in the skeletal muscle of mdx and mdx/MMP-2-/- mice at 1 and 3 months of age. Tibialis anterior muscle was isolated from four groups of mice (mdx and mdx/MMP-2-/- mice at 1 and 3 months of age). Total RNA was purified and prepared for hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) using Affymetrix reagents and protocols. The mRNA levels of differentially expressed genes from gene chip analysis were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR assay.

Protein Identification and Post-translational Analysis of DMD and its associated Proteins in H19-proficient and -deficient Cells

Project description:Dystrophin proteomic regulation in Muscular Dystrophies (MD) remains unclear. We report that a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 associates with dystrophin. To investigate the biological roles of this interaction in vivo, we performed mass spectrometry analysis of dystrophin and its associated proteins in H19-proficient and -deficient C2C12 myotubes. Mass spectrometry data indicated that in H19-proficient myotubes, dystrophin associates with components of dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC); however, in H19-deficient myotubes, dystrophin associated with UBA1, UB2G1, TRIM63 ubiquitin E3 ligase and ubiquitin. In H19-deficient myotubes, dystrophin was post-translationally modified with K48-linked poly-ubiquitination at Lys3577 (referred to as Ub-DMD). This mass spectrometry study demonstrated that lncRNA H19, associates with dystrophin and inhibits E3 ligase-dependent Ub-DMD formation and its subsequent proteasomal degradation. Based on this study, H19 RNA oligonucleotides conjugated with a muscle homing ligand Agrin (referred to as AGR-H19) and Nifenazone, a TRIM63-specific small molecule inhibitor, reverses the dystrophin degradation in iPSC-derived skeletal muscle cells from Becker Muscular Dystrophy patients. Furthermore,treatment of mdx mice with exon-skipping reagent, in combination with either AGR-H19 or Nifenazone, dramatically stablized dystrophin, preserved skeletal/cardiac muscle histology, and improved strength/heart function. In summary, this mass spectrometry study paves the way to meaningful targeted therapeutics for BMD and certain DMD patients.

Loss of full-length dystrophin expression causes major cell-autonomous abnormalities in proliferating myoblasts

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severely debilitating and incurable neuromuscular disease. Its conspicuous feature is the absence of dystrophin in myofibers and therefore most therapeutic approaches focus on some form of its re-expression there. However, increasing body of evidence points at an early developmental onset of DMD and severe abnormalities were uncovered in dystrophic muscle stem cells. In this study, we explore gene expression changes in primary myoblasts from mice lacking expression of the full length dystrophin transcript. Total RNA extracted from primary myoblasts isolated from gastrocnemii of 8 week old male Dmd-mdx (MDX - lacking the full length dystrophin transcript), Dmd-mdx-βgeo (BGEO - lacking all dystrophin expression) and control mice (WT) were subjected to RNA sequencing following ribodepletion, and analysed for the differential expression of genes between groups and the enrichment of gene ontology categories or pathways.

Effects of Treg depletion in dystrophic muscle.

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) accumulate in skeletal muscle from dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. Analysis of global gene expression in muscles from mdx mice treated with anti-CD25 compared with muscles from mdx mice treated with control antibody revealed that Tregs partially protect mdx mice from muscle pathology and promote muscle repair/regeneration. Mdx mice received 2 ip injections of 100 mg of anti-CD25 mAb (clone PC61) or rat IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) at days 17 and 20 of age. Muscles were dissected 7 days after the last injection.

Generation of allogenic and xenogeneic functional muscle stem cells for intramuscular transplantation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Satellite cells, the stem cells of skeletal muscle tissue, hold a remarkable regeneration capacity and therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine. However, low satellite cell yield from autologous or donor-derived muscles hinders the adoption of satellite cell transplantation for the treatment of muscle diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To address this limitation, here we investigated whether satellite cells can be derived in allogeneic or xenogeneic animal hosts. First, injection of CRISPR/Cas9-corrected mouse DMD-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into mouse blastocysts carrying an ablation system of host satellite cells gave rise to intraspecies chimeras exclusively carrying iPSC-derived satellite cells. Furthermore, injection of genetically corrected DMD-iPSCs into rat blastocysts resulted in the formation of interspecies rat-mouse chimeras harboring mouse satellite cells. Remarkably, iPSC-derived satellite cells or derivative myoblasts produced in intraspecies or interspecies chimeras restored dystrophin expression in DMD mice following intramuscular transplantation, and contributed to the satellite cell pool. Collectively, this study demonstrates the feasibility of producing therapeutically competent stem cells across divergent animal species, raising the possibility of generating human muscle stem cells in large animals for regenerative medicine purposes.

Transcription profiling of 16-week-old mdx mouse muscles to characterize transcriptional changes induced by dystrophin deficiency.

Project description:Despite over 3,000 articles published on dystrophin in the last 15 years, the reasons underlying the progression of the human disease, differential muscle involvement, and disparate phenotypes in different species are not understood. The present experiment employed a screen of 12,488 mRNAs in 16-wk-old mouse mdx muscle at a time when the skeletal muscle is avoiding severe dystrophic pathophysiology, despite the absence of a functional dystrophin protein. A number of transcripts whose levels differed between the mdx and human Duchenne muscular dystrophy were noted. A fourfold decrease in myostatin mRNA in the mdx muscle was noted. Differential upregulation of actin-related protein 2/3 (subunit 4), beta-thymosin, calponin, mast cell chymase, and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase mRNA in the more benign mdx was also observed. Transcripts for oxidative and glycolytic enzymes in mdx muscle were not downregulated. These discrepancies could provide candidates for salvage pathways that maintain skeletal muscle integrity in the absence of a functional dystrophin protein in mdx skeletal muscle.
