ABSTRACT: Stem cells reside in specialized niches that play a critical role in modulating their fate. Supporting cells in the niche instruct fate changes to the stem cells through epigenetic enzymes that transduce cell signaling to modify gene expression. Recent studies showed that the innate immune response to muscle injury alters the muscle stem cell (MuSC) niche, it remains unknown how MuSC adapt to the modified milieu to mediate muscle repair. Here we show that the epigenetic enzyme JMJD3 coordinates MuSC adaptation to the regenerative niche in a non-cell autonomous manner where it modifies their extracellular matrix to integrate signaling that stimulates exit of quiescence. Genomics and transcriptomics approaches identified the hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis enzyme Has2 as a key JMJD3 target gene that allows MuSCs to integrate signals from the regenerative niche. Overall, we identified a specific role for JMJD3 in regulating the expression of genes that allow MuSCs to adapt to the modified niche of regenerating muscle. We aim to determine the differential occupancy of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethyl mark muscle satellite stem cells isolated from JMJD3scKO, UTXscKO and Wild-type mice.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle crucially depends on motor innervation, and, when damaged, on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, the role and function of MuSCs in the context of denervation remains poorly understood. Methods: Alterations of MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation were investigated in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry for the analysis of intrinsic changes after denervation and in vivo assays, such as Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury or MuSC transplantation, were performed to assess MuSC functions after denervation. Bioinformatic and histological analyses were conducted to further examine MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation. Results: Muscle cross section analysis revealed a significant increase in Pax7 (p-value= 0.0441), Pax7/Ki67 (p-value= 0.0023), MyoD (p-value= 0.0016) and Myog (p-value= 0.0057) positive cells after denervation, illustrating a break of quiescence and commitment to the myogenic lineage. An Omics approach showed profound intrinsic alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level of MuSCs 21 days after denervation. Skeletal muscle injury together with denervation surgery caused deregulated regeneration, indicated by the reduced number of proliferating MuSCs and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers), at 21 days post-surgery. In a transplantation assay, MuSCs from a denervated host were still able to engraft and fuse to form new myofibers, irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient muscle. Analysis of myofibers revealed not only massive changes in the expression profile (10492 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) after denervation, but it was also shown that secretion of Opn and Tgfb1 from denervated myofibers was increased 30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively. Bioinformatic analyses indicated strong upregulation of gene expression of the transcription factor Junb in MuSCs from denervated muscles (log2 fold change = 3.27). Of interest, Tgfb1 recombinant protein was able to induce Junb gene expression in vitro, demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands can induce gene expression changes in MuSCs, which might result in the phenotypes observed after denervation. Conclusion: Skeletal muscle denervation is altering myofiber secretion, causing MuSC activation and profound intrinsic changes, leading to reduced regenerative capacity. As MuSCs possess a remarkable regenerative potential, they might represent a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.
