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.

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. Keywords: other

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limitation of life. In addition to the inherent weakness of dystrophin-deficient muscle, the dysfunction of resident muscle stem cells significantly contributes to disease progression. Using the mdx mouse model of DMD, we performed an in-depth characterization of disease progression and muscle stem cell (MuSC) function in dystrophin deficient skeletal muscle using immunohistology, isometric force measurements, transplantation assays, and transcriptomic analysis. Here, we performed bulk RNA-sequencing of wild-type (WT) and mdx myogenic cells in different conditions.

Project description:We report here on the identification and functional characterization of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells that contribute to regeneration or fibroadipogenic degeneration of dystrophic muscles and mediate the beneficial effects of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) in mdx mice. We found that the phenotype adopted by these cells and their biological activity are influenced by changes in muscle environment. While Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells from healthy muscles spontaneously adopt a fibro-adipogenic phenotype, Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from dystrophic muscles of young mdx mice show a latent myogenic phenotype that is implemented by the exposure to HDACi. Co-culture assays in vitro and co-transplantation experiments in vivo demonstrate that HDACi also improve Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cell ability to enhance the differentiation potential of adjacent satellite cells. Importantly, HDACi-induced myogenic phenotype and pro-regeneration activity were not observed in Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from muscles of old mdx mice. The different phenotype of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells from mdx mice at different stages of disease progression correlated with the stage-dependent beneficial effect of HDACi, which were effective only at early stages of disease. Transplantation of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from regenerating young muscles into muscles of old mdx mice restored HDACi ability to increase myofiber size. These results indicate that Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells are key cellular determinants of disease progression and mediate the beneficial effect of HDACi in a mouse model of muscular dystrophy.

Project description:Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are emerging cellular components of the skeletal muscle regenerative environment. The alternative functional phenotype of FAPs - either supportive of muscle regeneration or promoting fibro-adipogenic degeneration - is a key determinant in the pathogenesis of muscular diseases, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). However, the molecular regulation of FAPs is still unknown. We show here that an "HDAC-myomiR-BAF60 variant network" regulates the functional phenotype of FAPs in dystrophic muscles of mdx mice. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression microarray and genome-wide chromatin remodeling by Nuclease accessibility (NA)-seq revealed that HDAC inhibitors de-repress a "latent" myogenic program in FAPs from dystrophic muscles at early stages of disease progression. In these cells HDAC inhibition promoted the expression of two core components of the myogenic transcriptional machinery, MyoD and BAF60C, and upregulated the myomiRs (miRs) miR-1.2, miR-133 and miR-206, which target two alternative BAF60 variants (BAF60A and B) ultimately leading to the activation of a pro-myogenic program at the expense of the fibro-adipogenic phenotype. By contrast, FAPs from dystrophic muscles at late stages of disease progression displayed resistance to HDACi-induced chromatin remodeling at myogenic loci and fail to activate the pro-myogenic phenotype. These results reveal a previously unappreciated disease stage-specific bipotency of mesenchimal cells within the regenerative environment of dystrophic muscles. Resolution of such bi-potency by epigenetic interventions, such as HDACi, provides the molecular rationale for the in situ reprogramming of target cells to promote therapeutic regeneration of dystrophic muscles. miRNA modulation upon Histone Deacetylase inhibition in Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors (FAPs) derived from young mdx mice was evaluated by small RNA-sequencing in 2 controls and 2 treated samples
