Project description:Comparative effects of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Aging in skeletal muscle Expression profiling established by microarray technology provides a powerful tool by which complex pathways can be assembled. The pathophysiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a complex process involving many pathways downstream of the primary genetic insult (lack of dystrophin). Similarly, the mechanisms implicated in muscle aging are only partially understood. The objective of the present study was to compare the muscle transcriptional response downstream of lack of dystrophin with the molecular events associated with aging using a muscle-dedicated microarray. Defining a common transcriptional profile in a range of wasting diseases should increase our understanding of the critical adaptations associated with muscle atrophy independent of the cause of the muscle wasting.

Defining a common transcriptional profile in a range of wasting diseases should increase our understanding of the critical adaptations associated with muscle atrophy independent of the cause of the muscle wasting. RNA samples from 4 DMD and 4 AGE skeletal muscle tissues were analyzed by hybridization against control samples. This hybridization was done on microarrays containing quadruplicate 50-mer oligonucleotides corresponding to 3,588 muscle relevant genes. Two hybridizations were per-formed for each subject. Thus, eight values per gene were obtained for each subject. These stringent conditions conferred powerful significance to our results.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked monogenic disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD) and characterized by progressive muscle weakness leading to loss of ambulation and significantly decreased life expectancy. Since the current standard of care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy is to merely treat symptoms, there is a dire need for novel treatment modalities that can correct the underlying genetic mutations. While several gene replacement therapies are being explored in clinical trials, one emerging approach that can directly correct mutations in genomic DNA is base editing. We have recently developed CRISPR-SKIP, a base editing strategy to induce permanent exon skipping by introducing C>T or A>G mutations at splice acceptors in genomic DNA, which can be utilized therapeutically to recover dystrophin expression when a genomic deletion leads to an out-of-frame DMD transcript. We now demonstrate that CRISPR-SKIP can be adapted to correct some forms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by disrupting the splice acceptor in human DMD exon 45 with high efficiency, which enables open reading frame recovery and restoration of dystrophin expression. We also demonstrate that AAV-delivered split-intein base editors edit the splice acceptor of DMD exon 45 in cultured human cells and in vivo, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this strategy.

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.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease that results in the death of affected boys by early adulthood.The genetic defect responsible for DMD has been known for over 25 years, yet at present there is neither cure nor effective treatment for DMD. During early disease onset, the mdx mouse has been validated as an animal model for DMD and use of this model has led to valuable but incomplete insights into the disease process. For example, immune cells are thought to be responsible for a significant portion of muscle cell death in the mdx mouse; however, the role and time course of the immune response in the dystrophic process have not been well described. In this paper we constructed a simple mathematical model to investigate the role of the immune response in muscle degeneration and subsequent regeneration in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Our model suggests that the immune response contributes substantially to the muscle degeneration and regeneration processes. Furthermore, the analysis of the model predicts that the immune system response oscillates throughout the life of the mice, and the damaged fibers are never completely cleared.

Project description:Large animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are indispensible for preclinical evaluation of novel diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies. To evaluate functional consequences of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in skeletal muscle and myocardium, we used a new genetically engineered dystrophin KO pig model displaying hallmarks of human DMD. Heart and skeletal muscle tissue samples of DMD pigs and wild-type (WT) controls at three different ages were analyzed by label-free proteomics.

Project description:Skeletal muscle wasting results from numerous pathological conditions impacting both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. A unifying feature of these pathologies is the upregulation of members of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, resulting in increased proteolytic degradation of target proteins. Despite the critical role E3 ubiquitin ligases in regulating muscle mass, the specific proteins they target for degradation and the mechanisms by which they regulate skeletal muscle homeostasis remain ill-defined. Here, using zebrafish loss of function models combined with in vivo cell biology and proteomic approaches, we identified the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, BiP, as a novel target of the E3 ubiquitin ligase atrogin-1. A loss in atrogin-1 results in an accumulation of BiP, leading to impaired mitochondrial dynamics and a subsequent loss in muscle fibre integrity. We further implicate a disruption in atrogin-1 mediated BiP regulation in the pathogenesis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We reveal that BiP is not only upregulated in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, but its inhibition using pharmacological strategies, or by upregulating atrogin-1, significantly ameliorates pathology in a zebrafish model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Collectively, our data implicates a novel disease axis in the pathogenesis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and highlights atrogin-1’s essential role in maintaining muscle homeostasis.
