Transcriptomic analysis of chicken Myozenin 3 regulation reveals its potential role in cell proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Embryonic muscle development and fibre type differentiation has always been a topic of great importance due to its impact on both human health and farm animal financial values. Myozenin3 (Myoz3) is an important candidate gene that may regulate these processes. In the current study, we knocked down and overexpressed Myoz3 in chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEFs) and chicken myoblasts, then utilized RNA-seq technology to screen genes, pathways and biological processes associated with Myoz3. Multiple differentially expressed genes were identified, including MYH10, MYLK2, NFAM1, MYL4, MYL9, PDZLIM1; those can in turn regulate each other and influence the development of muscle fibres. Gene ontology (GO) terms including some involved in positive regulation of cell proliferation were enriched. We further validated our results by testing the activity of cells by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) and confirmed that under the condition of Myoz3 overexpression, the proliferation rate of CEFs and myoblasts was significantly upregulated, in addition, expression level of fast muscle specific gene was also significantly upregulated in myoblasts. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor) pathway was enriched, suggesting the possibility that Myoz3 regulates muscle fibre development and differentiation through the PPAR pathway. Our results provide valuable evidence regarding the regulatory functions of Myoz3 in embryonic cells by screening multiple candidate genes, biological processes and pathways associated with Myoz3.

Project description:Lone atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various ion channel gene sequence variants, notably the common S38G loss-of-function polymorphism in the KCNE1 K(+) channel ancillary subunit gene. New-onset postoperative AF (POAF) generally occurs 48-72 h after major surgery, particularly following procedures within the chest, but its molecular bases remain poorly understood. To begin to address this gap in knowledge, we analyzed molecular changes in the left atrium (LA) in relation to simultaneous changes in hemodynamics, LA effective refractory period (ERP), and the capacity to sustain electrically-induced AF following left upper lung lobectomy in swine. Relative to control pigs (no previous surgery), 3 days after lobectomy higher values for mean pulmonary artery pressure (16 ± 1 vs 22 ± 2 mmHg; P=0.045) and pulmonary vascular resistance (273 ± 47 vs 481 ± 63 dyns/cm(5); P=0.025) were evident, whereas other hemodynamic variables were unchanged. LA ERP trended toward reduction in lobectomy animals (187 ± 16 vs 170 ± 20 ms, P>0.05). None of the lobectomy pigs developed spontaneous POAF as assessed by telemetric ECG. However, all lobectomy pigs, but none of the controls, were able to sustain AF induced by a 10s burst of rapid pacing for ≥ 30 s (P=0.0079), independent of LA ERP; AF was sustained ≥ 60s in 3/5 postoperative pigs versus 0/5 controls and correlated with a shorter ERP overall (P=0.023). Transcriptomic analysis of LA tissue revealed 23 up-regulated and 10 down-regulated transcripts (≥ 1.5-fold, P<0.05) in lobectomy pigs. Strikingly, of the latter, KCNE1 down-regulation showed the statistically strongest link to surgery (2.0-fold, P=0.009), recapitulated at the protein level with Western blotting (P=0.039), suggesting KCNE1 down-regulation as a possible common mechanistic factor in POAF and lone AF. Of the up-regulated transcripts, while Teneurin-2 was the strongest linked (1.5-fold change, P=0.001), DSCR5 showed the highest induction (2.7-fold, P=0.02); this and other hits will be targeted in future functional studies.
