Enhanced energetic state and protection from oxidative stress in human myoblasts overexpressing BMI1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The Polycomb group gene BMI1 is essential for efficient muscle regeneration in a mouse model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and its enhanced expression in adult skeletal muscle satellite cells ameliorates the muscle strength in this model. In this experiment, we investigated the impact of mild BMI1 overexpression in human cells. We showed translation between observed mouse and human phenotypes. In human myoblasts, BMI1 overexpression increases mitochondrial activity leading to an enhanced energetic state with increased ATP production and concomitant protection against DNA damage both in vitro and upon xenografting in a severe dystrophic mouse model. These preclinical data in mouse models and in human cells provide a strong rationale for the development of pharmacological approaches to target BMI1-mediated mitochondrial regulation and protection from DNA damage to sustain the regenerative potential of the skeletal muscle in conditions of chronic muscle wasting.
This ArrayExpress record is for the RNA-seq data from three independently prepared normal and DMD myoblasts cell cultures infected with GFP and BMI1Over lentiviral particles and induced to differentiate for 2 days.
Please note that each biological sample has one library, and each library is sequenced with two NextSeq runs, each run on identical 4 lane configurations. Hence for each biological sample, there are 16 raw fastq files. The run and lane information has been captured in the “run batch” and “lane batch” attributes respectively in the samples table, and should be used for bath corrections during analysis.
