Single-nucleus RNA-seq identifies transcriptional heterogeneity in multinucleated skeletal myofibers

ABSTRACT: While the majority of cells contain a single nucleus, cell types such as trophoblasts, osteoclasts, and skeletal myofibers require multinucleation. One advantage of multinucleation can be the assignment of distinct functions to different nuclei, but comprehensive interrogation of transcriptional heterogeneity within multinucleated tissues has been challenging due to the presence of a shared cytoplasm. Here, we utilized single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) to determine the extent of transcriptional diversity within multinucleated skeletal myofibers. Nuclei from mouse skeletal muscle were profiled across the lifespan, which revealed the emergence of distinct myonuclear populations in postnatal development and their reactivation in aging muscle. Our datasets also provided a platform for discovery of novel genes associated with rare specialized regions of the muscle cell, including markers of the myotendinous junction and functionally validated factors expressed at the neuromuscular junction. These findings reveal that myonuclei within syncytial muscle fibers possess distinct transcriptional profiles that regulate muscle biology.

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is composed of multinucleated myofibers, in which nuclei share the cytoplasm, and other cell types. Here, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-Seq) to determine the gene expressions in each nucleus in gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles collected from 12-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice. Our datasets also provided a basis for comparing gene expressions between myofibers and other cell types and discovering the novel cell populations in muscle tissues.

Single nucleus RNA-seq analysis of the TA muscles from WT and Dmd Exon 51 Knockout mice

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle disorder characterized by cycles of degeneration and regeneration of multinucleated myofibers and pathological activation of a variety of other associated cell types. Here, we describe the creation of a new mouse model of DMD caused by deletion of exon 51 of the dystrophin gene, which represents a prevalent mutation in humans. To understand the transcriptional abnormalities and heterogeneity associated with the nuclei of myofibers, as well as other mononucleated cell types that contribute to DMD disease pathogenesis, we performed single nucleus transcriptomics of skeletal muscle of mice with exon 51 deletion. Our results reveal distinctive and previously unrecognized myonuclear subtypes within dystrophic myofibers and uncover degenerative and regenerative transcriptional pathways underlying DMD pathogenesis. Our findings provide new insights into the molecular underpinnings of DMD, controlled by the transcriptional activity of different types of muscle and nonmuscle nuclei.

Spatial multi-omics in skeletal muscle unravel complex myofiber architecture

Project description:Skeletal muscles are complex organs consisting of multiple tissues, including connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves and multinucleated myofibers. Single-nucleus transcriptomics analyses have revealed distinctive myonuclear populations related to myofiber type and to specialized regions, including neuromuscular and myotendinous junctions. However, the use of tissue dissociation methods prevented access to global spatial organization. Here we applied RNA tomography (TOMOseq), a spatial transcriptomics approach, to explore gene expression differences along murine tibialis anterior muscles.

Lineage tracing of newly accrued nuclei in skeletal myofibers uncovers distinct transcripts and interplay between nuclear populations

Project description:Multinucleated skeletal muscle cells have an obligatory need to acquire additional nuclei through fusion with activated skeletal muscle stem cells when responding to both developmental and adaptive growth stimuli. A fundamental question in skeletal muscle biology has been the reason underlying this need for new nuclei in syncytial cells that already harbor hundreds of nuclei. To begin to answer this long-standing question, we utilized nuclear RNA-sequencing approaches and developed a lineage tracing strategy capable of defining the transcriptional state of recently fused nuclei and distinguishing this state from that of pre-existing nuclei. Our findings reveal the presence of conserved markers of newly fused nuclei both during development and after a hypertrophic stimulus in the adult. However, newly fused nuclei also exhibit divergent gene expression that is determined by the syncytial environment they fuse into. Moreover, accrual of additional nuclei through fusion is required for nuclei already resident in adult myofibers to mount a normal transcriptional response to a load-induced stimulus. We propose a model of mutual regulation in the control of skeletal muscle development and adaptations, where newly fused and pre-existing myonuclei influence each other to maintain optimal functional growth.

Single-nucleus RNA-seq and FISH reveal coordinated transcriptional activity in mammalian myofibers

Project description:Skeletal muscle fibers are large syncytia but it is currently unknown whether gene expression is coordinately regulated in their numerous nuclei. By snRNA-seq and snATAC-seq, we showed that slow, fast, myotendinous and neuromuscular junction myonuclei each have different transcriptional programs, associated with distinct chromatin states and combinations of transcription factors. In adult mice, identified myofiber types predominantly express either a slow or one of the three fast isoforms of Myosin heavy chain (MYH) proteins, while a small number of hybrid fibers can express more than one MYH. By snRNA-seq and FISH, we showed that the majority of myonuclei within a myofiber are synchronized, coordinately expressing only one fast Myh isoform with a preferential pane of muscle-specific genes. Importantly, this coordination of expression occurs early during post-natal development and depends on innervation. These findings highlight a unique mechanism of coordination of gene expression in a syncytium.

Mouse myoblast fusion - Separating myoblast differentiation from muscle cell fusion using IGF-I and the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB202190

Project description:The p38 MAP kinases play critical roles in skeletal muscle biology, but the specific processes that they regulate remain poorly defined. Here we find that activity of p38α/β is important not only for early phases of myoblast differentiation, but also in later stages of myocyte fusion and myofibrillogenesis. By treating C2 myoblasts with the pro-myogenic growth factor, IGF-I, we were able to overcome the early block in differentiation imposed by co-incubation with the p38 chemical inhibitor, SB202190. Yet, IGF-I could not overcome the later impairment of muscle cell fusion, as marked by the nearly complete absence of multinucleated myofibers. Removal of SB202190 from the medium of differentiating myoblasts showed that the fusion block was reversible, as multinucleated myofibers were detected several hours later, and reached ~90% of the culture within 30 hours. Analysis by quantitative mass spectroscopy of proteins that changed in abundance following removal of the inhibitor revealed a cohort of up-regulated muscle-enriched molecules that may be important for both myofibrillogenesis and fusion. We have thus developed a model system that allows separation of myoblast differentiation from muscle cell fusion, which should be useful in identifying specific steps regulated by p38 MAP kinase-mediated signaling in myogenesis.

Spatial transcriptomics in embryonic mouse diaphragm muscle reveals regional gradients and subdomains of developmental gene expression

Project description:Embryonic mouse diaphragm is a primary model for studying myogenesis and neuro-muscular synaptogenesis, both of which represent processes regulated by spatially organized genetic programs of myonuclei located in distinct myodomains. However, a spatial gene expression pattern of embryonic mouse diaphragm has not been reported. Here we provide spatially resolved gene expression data for horizontally sectioned embryonic mouse diaphragms at E14.5 and E18.5. These data reveal gene signatures for specific muscle regions with distinct maturity and fiber type composition, as well as for a central neuromuscular junction and a peripheral myotendinous junction compartments. Comparing spatial expression patterns of wild type mice with those of mouse mutants lacking either the skeletal muscle calcium channel CaV1.1 or b-catenin, reveals curtailed muscle development and dysregulated expression of genes potentially involved in NMJ formation. Altogether, these datasets provide a powerful recourse for further studies of muscle development and NMJ formation in the mouse embryo.
