Genome-wide identification of Scx transcriptional target genes in tendon development II

ABSTRACT: Despite their important roles in the musculoskeletal system, tendon and ligaments are much less studied comparing to bone, cartilage and muscle. The lack of knowledge in tendon biology severely hinders the understanding of the etiologies of tendon related diseases and development of efficient clinical treatments. In mouse, Scx gene, encoding a Twist family bHLH transcription factor, is expressed in progenitors of all tendons and ligaments, as well as in mature tenocytes. Previous studies show that inactivation of Scx gene results in absence or severe hypoplastia of force transmitting tendons, with muscle anchoring tendons and ligaments are less affected. Here we report a set of ChIPseq data from E13.5 forelimbs of novel Scx-2xFlag tagged mice in which a Scx-Flag fusion protein is expressed recapitulating endogenous Scx expression, and a set of RNAseq data of Scx-GFP positive cells from E13.5 Scx wildtype, E15.5 Scx wildtype and homozygous mutant forelimbs. Using RNAseq and ChIPseq assays, we identify several genes exhibiting Scx-dependent tendon expression druing differentiation, with Scx binding peaks located within their promoter/enhancer regions. Thus these genes may play critical roles in mediating Scx regulated tendon cell differentiation. Our results provide new insights in the mechanisms of tendon development.

RNA-seq analysis of Scx-lineage cell depletion to investigate tendon cell functions during flexor tendon healing

Project description:Little is understood about the roles of tendon cells during flexor tendon healing. To better understand tendon cell functions, the Scx-Cre mouse was crossed to the DTR mouse model to facilitate scleraxis lineage cell depletion prior to acute flexor tendon injury and repair. WT (cre-) and experimental (cre+) mice underwent complete transection and repair of the flexor digitorum longus tendon. Repaired tendons were harvested at 14 and 28 days post-repair for bulk RNA-Seq analysis to examine possible mechanisms driving differential healing due to Scx lineage cell depletion.

Expression data from mouse limb tendon cells during development.

Project description:We have undertaken a screen of mouse limb tendon cells in order to identify molecular pathways involved in tendon development. Mouse limb tendon cells were isolated based on Scleraxis (Scx) expression at different stages of development: E11.5, E12.5 and E14.5 Microarray comparisons were carried out between tendon progenitor and differentiated stages. Forelimbs from E11.5, E12.5 and E14.5 Scx-GFP embryos were collected and dissociated with trypsin to obtain cell suspensions. Scx-positive tendon cells were isolated by FACS. RNA was extracted and Fragmented biotin-labelled cRNA samples were hybridized on Affymetrix Gene Chip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Depletion of Scleraxis-lineage cells during tendon healing transiently impairs multi-scale restoration of tendon structure during early healing

Project description:Tendons are composed of a heterogeneous cell environment, with Scleraxis-lineage (ScxLin) cells being the predominant population. Although ScxLin cells are required for maintenance of tendon homeostasis, their functions during tendon healing are unknown. To this end, we first characterized the spatiotemporal dynamics of ScxLin cells during tendon healing, and identified that the overall ScxLin pool continuously expands up to early remodeling healing phase. To better define the function of ScxLin cells during the late proliferative phase of healing, we inducibly depleted ScxLin cells from day 14-18 post-surgery using the Scx-Cre; Rosa-DTR mouse model, with local administration of diphtheria toxin inducing apoptosis of ScxLin cells in the healing tendon. At D28 post-surgery, ScxLin cell depleted tendons (DTRScxLin) had substantial impairments in structure and function, relative to WT, demonstrating the importance of ScxLin cells during tendon healing. Next, bulk RNAseq was utilized to identify the underlying mechanisms that were impaired with depletion and revealed that ScxLin depletion induced molecular and morphological stagnation of the healing process at D28. However, this stagnation was transient, such that by D56 tendon mechanics in DTRScxLin were not significantly different than wildtype repairs. Collectively, these data offer fundamental knowledge on the dynamics and roles of ScxLin cells during tendon healing.

RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Cont/Dicer KO/Scx HT mice Achilles Tendon Transcriptome

Project description:To investigate which mRNA and miRNA are involved in Dicer KO mouse tendon hypoplasticity, we performed RNA-seq and small RNA-seq using RNA from Achilles tendon of Cont (Dicer f/f), Scx HT (ScxCre/+ Knock In:Dicer +/+) and Dicer KO (ScxCre/+ Knock In:Dicer f/f) mice at 4 weeks of age. Achilles tendon from 4-week-old female mice was harvested, RNA was isolated using an RNA extraction kit. RNA libraries were generated and sequenced by K. K. DNAFORM (Tokyo, Japan). The libraries were sequenced by Illumina HISEQ4000 using Illumina provided protocol. Differential gene expression was analyzed with R Bioconductor DESeq2. We found that a large portion of tendon-fibroblast characteristic genes was downregulated in Dicer KO mice Achilles tendon compared to Cont and Scx HT.

Transcriptional analysis of tendons from mice with a tenocyte-specific deletion of IGF1R

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from the plantaris tendons of adult male mice in the C57Bl/6 background that either have the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) present in their tendons (Scx:IGF1R+) or mice in which IGF1R has been deleted in tenocytes expressing scleraxis (Scx:IGF1R-). Mice were created by crossing ScxCreERT2 mice with IGF1R flox/flox mice. Mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination at the IGF1R allele, and then subjected to a synergist ablation procedure in which the Achilles tendon is removed, resulting in compensatory growth of the plantaris tendon. Mice were analyzed either 7 or 14 days after synergist ablation. Control mice that did not undergo tamoxifen treatment or synergist ablation were also studied.

In this data set, we include expression data from atrioventricular canal (AVC) regions from Scx null and wild-type littermate controls at embryonic day 15.5. A total of 6 samples were analyzed; 3 valve regions from E15.5 Scx-/- mice, and 3 from E15.5 Scx+/+ wild-type littermate controls. Differential expression read counts are ranked based on p-value (<0.05).

Tenogenic induction from induced pluripotent stem cells unveils the trajectory towards tenocyte differentiation.

Project description:The musculoskeletal system is integrated by tendons that are characterized by expression of a functionally important transcription factor Scleraxis (Scx). To date, there has been no solid culture system for tenogenic differentiation. Here we developed the tenocyte induction method using induced pluripotent stem cells established from ScxGFP transgenic mice by monitoring fluorescence that reflects a series of dynamic differentiation process. Among several developmentally relevant factors, TGF-2 was the most potent inducer for differentiation of tenocytes expressing Tenomodulin, a mature differentiation marker. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed 11 distinct clusters including mature tenocyte population and tenogenic differentiation trajectory, which well recapitulates in vivo developmental process. Dataset of scRNA-seq and transcriptome of Scx deficient tendon enabled identification of Scx-related genes in which tendon-related genes are enriched. Collectively, this study leads to a new opportunity for tendon research and provides further insight into mechanistic understanding of the differentiation pathway to a tenogenic fate.

Transcriptional analysis of tendons from mice with a targeted deletion of scleraxis

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from the plantaris tendons of adult male mice in the C57Bl/6 background that either have the scleraxis gene (Scx+) or mice in which scleraxis has been deleted using CreERT2 driven from the Rosa26 locus (Scx-). Mice in which scleraxis was deleted were created by crossing scleraxis-floxed mice with Rosa26-CreERT2 mice. Rosa26-CreERT2 mice that did not have a floxed scleraxis allele served as controls. Mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination at the scleraxis locus, and then subjected to a synergist ablation procedure in which the Achilles tendon is removed, resulting in compensatory growth of the plantaris tendon. Mice were analyzed either 7 or 14 days after synergist ablation. Control mice that did not undergo tamoxifen treatment or synergist ablation were also studied (NOC).
