Human skeletal muscle transcriptome (39 independent analyses)

ABSTRACT: The annotation of the Affymetrix HTA 2.0 array was updated to optimise the detection of RNA in human skeletal muscle samples by removing invalid and low signal-high-variance probes Human primary skeletal muscle cells were isolated from muscle biopsies from healthy adults as previously described (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Myogenic cell enrichment used magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and anti-CD56 microbeads (130-050-401; Miltenyi Biotec). Myogenic purity was assessed through measurement of fractional desmin positivity (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Cells were washed in PBS and fixed in ice-cold 1:1 acetone/methanol, before being blocked in 5% (v/v) goat serum for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-desmin monoclonal antibody (ab32362; Abcam) for 1h at room temperature, washed, and incubated with anti-rabbit TRITC-conjugated secondary antibody as previously detailed (Crossland et al. 2016; Crossland et al. 2017). Finally, cells were washed in PBS and mounted/DAPI-stained using FluoroshieldTM mounting medium with DAPI. Myoblasts at passage 5-6 were cultured on Collagen Type I-coated 6-well dishes in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F-12; Life Technologies) containing 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich), 1% (v/v) antibiotic-antimycotic (AbAm) solution and 4mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies). Cells were maintained at 37oC with 5% CO2. Once cells reached ~95% confluency, differentiation was induced by switching the medium to DMEM/F-12 containing 2% (v/v) horse serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 4mM L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) AbAm solution (Life Technologies). Six days following the initiation of differentiation, a media change was carried out, using differentiation media supplemented with long R3 IGF-1 (10 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), with or without 100 nM rapamycin (Sigma-Aldrich). DMSO (final concentration 0.01% (v/v)) was used as a vehicle control for rapamycin. Samples were collected at 0h baseline and following 4h and 24h treatment.

Project description:CD47 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is ubiquitously expressed in different organs and tissues (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Liu, et al. 2017). In the human immune system, CD47 interacts with some integrins, two counter-receptor signal regulator protein (SIRP) family members, and the secreted thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Gao, et al. 2016; Kaur, et al. 2013; Oldenborg, et al. 2000). CD47 has two established roles in the immune system. The CD47-SIRPα interaction was identified as a critical innate immune checkpoint, which delivers an antiphagocytic signal to macrophages and inhibits neutrophil cytotoxicity (Martínez- Sanz, et al. 2021). Its interaction with inhibitory SIRPα is a physiological anti-phagocytic “don’t eat me” signal on circulating red blood cells that is co-opted by cancer cells (Matlung, et al. 2017). Many malignant cells overexpress CD47 (Betancur, et al. 2017; Chao, et al. 2011; Jaiswal, et al. 2009; Majeti, et al. 2009; Oronsky, et al. 2020; Petrova, et al. 2017). CD47/SIRPα-targeted therapeutics have been developed to overcome this immune checkpoint for cancer treatment (Kaur, et al. 2020; Matlung, et al. 2017). Secondly, engagement of CD47 on T cells by TSP1 regulates their differentiation and survival (Grimbert, et al. 2006; Lamy, et al. 2007) and inhibits T cell receptor signaling and antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs) (Kaur, et al. 2014; Li, et al. 2002; Liu, et al. 2015; Miller, et al. 2013; Soto-Pantoja, et al. 2014; Weng, et al. 2014). TSP1/CD47 signaling has similar inhibitory functions to limit NK cell activation (Kim, et al. 2008; Nath, et al. 2018; Nath, et al. 2019; Schwartz, et al. 2019) and IL1β production by macrophages (Stein, et al. 2016). CD47 is therefore a checkpoint that regulates both innate and adaptive immunity. The recent understanding of CD47 antagonism associated with increased antigen presentation by DCs (Liu, et al. 2016) and natural killer cell cytotoxicity (Nath, et al. 2019) contributes to the heightened interest in CD47 as a therapeutic target (Kaur, et al. 2020).

Project description:In recent years, several small molecule cytotoxic drugs have been identified as potential inhibitors of ribosome biogenesis (Drygin et al., 2011; Peltonen et al., 2014a; Peltonen et al., 2014b). CX-5461 is one such drug that has also demonstrated anticancer potential for a wide range of malignancies (Bywater et al., 2012; Cornelison et al., 2017; Devlin et al., 2015; Drygin et al., 2011; Hald et al., 2019; Hein et al., 2017; Ismael et al., 2019; Lawrence et al., 2018; Lee et al., 2017; Negi and Brown, 2015; Taylor et al., 2019; Xu et al., 2017; Yan et al., 2017) (Haddach et al., 2012), and is presently under phase I trials for the treatment of both hematological cancers and solid tumours (Group, 2016; Khot et al., 2019). CX-5461 was initially characterized as an inhibitor of RNA Polymerase I (RPI/PolR1/PolI) that is responsible for the synthesis of the major ribosomal RNAs and the initial step in ribosome biogenesis (Drygin et al., 2011). Since RPI and its corresponding core transcription factors are dedicated to this task alone, they present ideal molecular targets by which to modulate ribosome biogenesis. However, the specificity of CX-5461 has been questioned and it has been suggested that this drug may also act by stabilizing DNA G-quadruplexes or by “poisoning” topoisomerase II (Topo II). Thus, the primary target of this drug and its mode of action are still in doubt. Here we used Deconvolution-ChIP-Seq in NIH3T3 and HEK293T cells treated for different times with CX-5461. The data show that the primary target of CX5461 is the initiation of ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) transcription. CX-5461 blocks transcription initiation in vitro and in vivo by arresting RNA polymerase I (RPI/Pol1) within the preinitiation complex. In contrast to previous suggestions, CX-5461 does not effect recruitment of the TBP-TAF complex SL1 to the rDNA promoter, the recruitment of the initiation competent RPI-Rrn3 complex or ongoing transcription elongation, arguing against a role for G-quadruplex stabilization or topoisomerase II poisoning. Inhibition of transcription by CX-5461 is not reversible, the RPI-Rrn3 complex remains arrested in the preinitiation complex even after drug removal. This leads to nucleolar stress, extensive DNA damage and cell senescence. Our data show that the cytotoxicity of CX-5461 is the downstream result of the highly specific inhibition of rDNA transcription. The observation that this inhibition is irreversible will be important for the future design of chemotherapeutic strategies and the avoidance of drug resistance.
