Transcriptome analysis of the TA muscles from WT and Dmd Exon 51 Knockout mice

ABSTRACT: 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.

Systemic deletion of DMD exon 51 rescues clinically severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a pig model lacking DMD exon 52

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene, leading to the complete absence of DMD and progressive degeneration of skeletal and heart muscles. Expression of an internally shortened dystrophin in DMD subjects (DMDΔ52) can be achieved by skipping DMD exon 51 to reframe the transcript. To predict the best possible outcome of this therapeutic strategy, we generated transgenic pigs lacking DMD exon 51 and 52, additionally representing a new model for Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). To inspect the proteome alterations caused by the different dystrophin mutations in an unbiased and comprehensive manner, we performed a label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis (LC-MS/MS) of myocardial and skeletal muscle samples from wild-type (WT), DMDΔ52 and DMDΔ51-52 pigs.

Gene expression analysis in Tibialis anterior (TA) muscle upon titration of myonuclear numbers

Project description:Skeletal muscle myofibers accrue hundreds of nuclei during post-natal development via fusion with activated satellite cells (myoblasts), which is absolutely reliant on expression of the muscle fusogen myomaker (Mymk) in the myoblasts. Using an inducible genetic approach to render myoblasts non-fusogenic (by tamoxifen-inducible Pax7-CreER mediated recombination of the Mymk gene exclusively in satellite cells), we blocked myonuclear accrual at different time-points of post-natal development and thereby titrated the number of nuclei in resultant mutant myofibers. These Microarray assays were carried out on age day 28 (P28) using total RNA isolated from control and mutant muscle to determine changes in transcriptional profiles of these muscles to (a) assess effects of myonuclear titration, and (b) identify adaptive mechanisms elicited in mutant muscles in response to myonuclear deficiency. We used microarrays to generate information about transcriptional profiles in muscles with varying levels of myonuclear deficiencies.

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

Project description: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.

Satellite cell depletion results in a cryptic subpopulation of myonuclei in response to exercise

Project description:Skeletal muscle is composed of post-mitotic myofibers that form a syncytium containing hundreds of myonuclei. Using a progressive exercise training model in the mouse and single nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) for high resolution characterization of myonuclear transcription, we show myonuclear functional specialization in muscle from sedentary mice that is altered by 4 weeks of exercise training. Furthermore, in response to exercise, snRNA-seq reveals that resident muscle stem cells, satellite cells, were activated, but demonstrated limited lineage progression while contributing to muscle adaption. In the absence of satellite cells, trajectory analysis predicts the emergence of cryptic myonuclei that appear to lose their canonical identity. These data illustrate how myonuclear adaptation to exercise may be disrupted under conditions satellite cell compromise.

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.

Loss of full-length dystrophin expression causes major cell-autonomous abnormalities in proliferating myoblasts

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severely debilitating and incurable neuromuscular disease. Its conspicuous feature is the absence of dystrophin in myofibers and therefore most therapeutic approaches focus on some form of its re-expression there. However, increasing body of evidence points at an early developmental onset of DMD and severe abnormalities were uncovered in dystrophic muscle stem cells. In this study, we explore gene expression changes in primary myoblasts from mice lacking expression of the full length dystrophin transcript. Total RNA extracted from primary myoblasts isolated from gastrocnemii of 8 week old male Dmd-mdx (MDX - lacking the full length dystrophin transcript), Dmd-mdx-βgeo (BGEO - lacking all dystrophin expression) and control mice (WT) were subjected to RNA sequencing following ribodepletion, and analysed for the differential expression of genes between groups and the enrichment of gene ontology categories or pathways.

Intron Mutations and Early Transcription Termination in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy

Project description:Purpose: DMD pathogenic variants for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are detectable with high sensitivity by standard clinical exome analyses of genomic DNA. However, up to 7% of DMD mutations are deep intronic and analysis of muscle-derived RNA is an important diagnostic step for patients who have negative genomic testing but abnormal dystrophin expression in muscle. In this study, muscle biopsies were evaluated in 19 patients with clinical features of a dystrophinopathy, but negative clinical DMD mutation analysis. Methods: Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) or high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) methods identified 19 mutations with one of three pathogenic pseudoexon types: deep intronic point mutations, deletions or insertions, and translocations. Results: In association with point mutations creating intronic splice acceptor sites, we observed the first examples of DMD pseudo 3’-terminal exon mutations causing high efficiency transcription termination within introns. This connection between splicing and premature transcription termination is reminiscent of U1 snRNP-mediating telescripting in sustaining RNA polymerase II elongation across large genes, such as DMD. Conclusions: We propose a novel classification of three distinct types of mutations identifiable by muscle RNA analysis, each of which differ in potential treatment approaches. Recognition and appropriate characterization may lead to therapies directed toward full-length dystrophin expression for some patients.
