FHOD formin and SRF promote striated muscle development through separate pathways in C. elegans

ABSTRACT: We show that striated muscle-expressed genes affected by reduction in UNC-120/SRF activity are not similarly affected by absence of the FHOD-1 formin. This suggests FHOD-1 does not affect striated muscle development via promotion of UNC-120/SRF-dependent transcription.

Striated-for-smooth muscle replacement in the developing mouse esophagus

Project description:The esophagus is a muscular tube which transports swallowed content from the oral cavity and the pharynx to the stomach. Early in mouse development, an entire layer of the esophagus, the muscularis externa, consists of differentiated smooth muscle cells. Starting shortly after mid-gestation till about two weeks after birth, the muscularis externa almost entirely consists of striated muscle. This proximal-to-distal replacement of smooth muscle by the striated muscle depends on a number of factors. To identify the nature of the hypothetical “proximal” (mainly striated muscle originating) and “distal” (mainly smooth muscle originating) signals that govern the striated-for-smooth muscle replacement, we compared the esophagus of Myf5:MyoD null fetuses completely lacking striated muscle to the normal control using cDNA microarray analysis, followed by a comprehensive databases search. Here we provide an insight into the nature of “proximal” and “distal” signals that govern the striated-for-smooth muscle replacement in the esophagus.

Expression data in Srf KO and Srf WT murine muscle cells

Project description:The objective of the study is to caracherize the genes that are regulated by Srf in myoblasts at day 0 (J0) and in differentiated cells at day 1 (J1) and day 3 (J3). We used microarrays to investigate gene expression in Srf KO and Srf WT muscle cells at day 0 (J0), day 1 (J1) and day 3 (J3) of differentiation

FHOD formin and SRF promote post-embryonic striated muscle growth through separate pathways in C. elegans.

Project description:Previous work with cultured cells has shown transcription of muscle genes by serum response factor (SRF) can be stimulated by actin polymerization driven by proteins of the formin family. However, it is not clear if endogenous formins similarly promote SRF-dependent transcription during muscle development in vivo. We tested whether formin activity promotes SRF-dependent transcription in striated muscle in the simple animal model, Caenorhabditis elegans. Our lab has shown FHOD-1 is the only formin that directly promotes sarcomere formation in the worm's striated muscle. We show here FHOD-1 and SRF homolog UNC-120 both support muscle growth and also muscle myosin II heavy chain A expression. However, while a hypomorphic unc-120 allele blunts expression of a set of striated muscle genes, these genes are largely upregulated or unchanged by absence of FHOD-1. Instead, pharmacological inhibition of the proteasome restores myosin protein levels in worms lacking FHOD-1, suggesting elevated proteolysis accounts for their myosin deficit. Interestingly, proteasome inhibition does not restore normal muscle growth to fhod-1(Δ) mutants, suggesting formin contributes to muscle growth by some alternative mechanism. Overall, we find SRF does not depend on formin to promote muscle gene transcription in a simple in vivo system.

Genome-wide RNA expression in muscle-enriched embryos across different mutations.

Project description:To investigate the structure of the bodywall muscle differentiation network, we sought to both identify what these transcription factors regulate in bodywall muscle. Through loss of function analysis, we identified genome-wide regulatory targets of hlh-1 and unc-120 using RNA-seq. 1445 targets of hlh-1 and 3674 targets of unc-120 were identified, with 760 of these genes being targets of both. Crosstalk was identified between the networks of hlh-1 and hlh-8, which is involved in non-bodywall muscle development. In the process, we quantified bodywall muscle RNA. Our data suggest that shared target genes and overlapping regulation buffer the hlh-1 and unc-120 mutant phenotypes.

SRF-null neonatal cardiomyocytes

Project description:Serum Response Factor (SRF) is a transcriptional regulator required for mesodermal development. Numerous studies have implicated SRF as a central regulator of muscle gene expression and myogenesis. In this present study we used a loss of function approach to delineate the role of SRF in cardiac myocyte gene expression and function. In SRF null neonatal cardiomyocytes, we observe severe defects in the contractile apparatus, including Z-disc and stress fiber formation, as well as mislocalization and/or attenuation of sarcomeric proteins. Consistent with this, gene array and RT-PCR analyses show downregulation of genes encoding key cardiac transcriptional regulatory factors and proteins required for the maintenance of sarcomeric structure, function, and regulation. Chromatin IP analysis reveals that at least a subset of these proteins are likely regulated directly by SRF. Together the results presented here reveal new cellular and genetic mechanisms through which SRF exacts control over the contractile apparatus in cardiac myocytes. Keywords: genetic modification

Srf conditional knockout in the mouse liver

Project description:Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor that binds to the serum response element (SRE) of genes that are expressed in response to mitogens. SRF plays essential roles in muscle and nervous system development; however, little is known about the role of SRF during liver growth and function. To examine the function of SRF in the liver, we generated mice in which the Srf gene was specifically disrupted in hepatocytes. The survival of mice lacking hepatic SRF activity was lower than that of control mice; moreover, surviving mutant mice were smaller and had lower blood glucose and triglyceride levels compared with control mice. Srf-deficient livers were also smaller than control livers, hepatocyte morphology was abnormal, and liver-cell proliferation and viability was compromised. Gene array and quantitative RT-PCR analysis of SRF depleted livers revealed a reduction in mRNAs encoding components of the growth hormone/IGF1 pathway, cyclins, several metabolic regulators, and cytochrome p450 enzymes. Conclusion: SRF is essential for hepatocyte proliferation and survival, liver function, and control of postnatal body growth by regulating hepatocyte gene expression.

Vascular smooth muscle selective deletion of Srf

Project description:Previous efforts to conditionally delete the Srf transcription factor in smooth muscle lineages were met with early demise of the mouse due to a gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction phenotype. We have developed a new, more VSMC selective Cre recombinase mouse (Itga8-CreERT2), that circumvents the GI phenotype thus affording the opportunity to evaluate, in an unambiguous manner, VSMC phenotypes where Srf is reduced. The mice live for at least 6 months post-tamoxifen and here we report the first RNA-seq experiments in mouse aortic SMC where Srf is reduced.
