Role of skeletal muscle in ear development.

ABSTRACT: Here, we show lists of 10 up- and 87 down-regulated genes obtained by a cDNA microarray analysis that compared developing Myf5-/-:Myod-/- (and Mrf4-/-) petrous part of the temporal bone, containing middle and inner ear, to the control, at embryonic day 18.5. Myf5-/-:Myod-/- fetuses entirely lack skeletal myoblasts and muscles. They are unable to move their head, which interferes with the perception of angular acceleration. Previously, we showed that the inner ear areas most affected in Myf5-/- :Myod-/- fetuses were the vestibular cristae ampullaris, sensitive to angular acceleration. Our finding that the type I hair cells were absent in the mutants’ cristae was further used here to identify a profile of genes specific to the lacking cell type. Microarrays followed by a detailed consultation of web-accessible mouse databases allowed us to identify 6 candidate genes with a possible role in the development of the inner ear sensory organs: Actc1, Pgam2, Ldb3, Eno3, Hspb7 and Smpx. Additionally, we searched for human homologues of the candidate genes since a number of syndromes in humans have associated inner ear abnormalities. Mutations in one of our candidate genes, Smpx, have been reported as the cause of X-linked deafness in humans. Our current study suggests an epigenetic role that mechanical, and potentially other, stimuli originating from muscle, play in organogenesis, and offers an approach to finding novel genes responsible for altered inner ear phenotypes.

Role of skeletal muscle in mandible development.

Project description:Previous analysis of Myf5-/-:MyoD-/- mouse fetuses lacking skeletal muscle demonstrated the importance of muscle contraction and static loading in mouse skeletogenesis. Previous analysis of Myf5-/-:MyoD-/- mouse fetuses lacking skeletal muscle demonstrated the importance of muscle contraction and static loading in mouse skeletogenesis. Among abnormal skeletal features, micrognathia (mandibular hypoplasia) was detected: small, bent and posteriorly displaced mandible. As an example of Waddingtonian epigenetics, we suggest that muscle, in addition to acting via mechanochemical signal transduction pathways, networks and promoters, also exerts secretory stimuli on skeleton. Our goal is to identify candidate molecules at that muscle-mandible interface. By employing Systematic Subtractive Microarray Analysis approach, we compared gene expression between mandibles of amyogenic and wild type mouse fetuses. We identified a set of candidate genes with involvement in mandibulardevelopment: Cacna1s, Ckm, Des, Mir300, Myog and Tnnc1. We also performed mouse-to-human translational experiments and found analogies. In the light of our findings we discuss various players in mandibular morphogenesis and make an argument for the need to consider mandibular development as a consequence of reciprocal epigenetic interactions of both skeletal and non-skeletal compartments.

Distinct activities of Myf5 and MyoD indicate sequential roles in skeletal muscle lineage specification and differentiation (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:In this work we compare the molecular functions of Myf5 and MyoD, two highly related bHLH transcription factors that regulate skeletal muscle specification and differentiation. We find MyoD and Myf5 bind the same sites genome-wide but have distinct functions: Myf5 induces histone acetylation without Pol II recruitment or robust gene activation, whereas MyoD induces histone acetylation, recruits PolII and robustly activates gene transcription. Chip-seq profiling of MyoD, Myf5, Histone H4 acetylation (H4Ac), and Pol II in MyoD-/-; Myf5-/- MEFs (M&M MEFs)

Expression data from Xenopus laevis juvenile inner ear tissue

Project description:The genes involved in inner ear development have yet to be fully characterized. Previous gene-based analyses have primarily focused on the early developmental stages following induction and initial formation of the inner ear. The inner ear continues to grow and develop until the auditory and vestibular systems reach full maturity; all of the genes involved in this process have yet to be identified. The aim of this study is to identify additional candidate genes for inner ear development. Microarrays were used to produce expression profiles from the post-metamorphic juvenile stage of the Xenopus laevis inner ear.

Microarray expression profiling of discrete microdissected mouse inner ear tissues from E9 to E15 at half-day intervals.

Project description:The inner ear in mammals is derived from a simple ectodermal thickening called the otic placode. Through a series of complex morphological changes, the placode forms the mature inner ear comprising of the auditory organ (cochlea) and the vestibular/balance organs (utricle, saccule, and three semi-circular canals). The vast majority of genes known to be involved during inner ear development have been found through mutational screens or by chance. To identify genes that can serve as novel candidates required for inner ear development, and also candidate genes for uncloned human deafnesses, inner ear tissues from mouse embryos from E9 to E15 were microdissected and expression-profiled at half-day intervals. Also profiled was the non-inner ear mesenchymal tissue surrounding the inner ear tissue. Various patterns of gene expression were identified, and significant biological pathways that these genes represented were identified. Also identified were mouse genes whose human orthologs are located within uncloned non-syndromic deafness intervals, thus serving as candidates for sequence analysis.

Inner ear expression data from pooled inner ear tissue from stages 56,57,58 Xenopus laevis larval inner ears

Project description:The inner ear continues to grow and develop until the auditory and vestibular systems reach full maturity and all of the genes involved in this process have yet to be identified. Previous gene based analysis have primarily focused on the early developmental stages following induction and initial formation of the inner ear. The aim of this study is to identify new candidate genes for inner ear development. Microarrays were used to produce expression profiles from larval stages 56,57,58 of the Xenopus laevis inner ear. The data produced from this work represent an annotated resource that can be utilized by the Xenopus community to provide candidates for further functional analysis. Xenopus inner ears were isolated from larval animals for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays.

Transcription profiling of mouse 2C5/7 myoD-/-;myf5-/- fibroblast cells expressing MyoD, Myf5, myogenin, or hrGFP

Project description:Gene expression changes induced by MyoD or Myf5 were examined in a double-knockout fibroblast cell line lacking endogenous functional myoD or myf5 genes. Use of this cell line precluded the possibility of auto- or cross-activation of endogenous myoD or myf5. Myogenin or hrGFP were expressed in parallel samples as controls. Following infection with retrovirus - expressing the relevant myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) from the viral LTR promoter and hrGFP through an IRES element in the same mRNA transcript - GFP+ cells were sorted by FACS and harvested for total RNA. Experiment Overall Design: this experiment include 4 samples and 12 replicates
