ScRNAseq RAT DIA WT and DMD 12months

ABSTRACT: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle-wasting disorder caused by mutations in the Dystrophin gene with no therapeutic option. To bridge the gap between preclinical and therapeutic evaluation studies, we have generated a rat model for DMD that carries an exon 52 deletion (R DMDdel52) causing a complete lack of dystrophin protein. Here we show that R DMDdel52 animals recapitulated human DMD pathophysiological trajectory more faithfully than the mdx mouse model. We report that R DMDdel52 rats displayed progressive and severe skeletal muscle loss associated with fibrotic deposition, fat infiltration and fibre type switch. Early fibrosis was also apparent in the cardiac muscle. These histological modifications led to severe muscle, respiratory and cardiac functional impairments leading to premature death around one year. Moreover, DMD muscle exhibited systemic inflammation with a mixed M1/M2 phenotype. A comparative single cell RNAseq analysis of the diaphragm muscle was performed, revealing cellular populations alteration and molecular modifications in all muscle cell types. We show that DMD fibroadipogenic progenitors produced elevated levels of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a glycoprotein responsible for modulating homeostasis of extracellular matrix, and whose increased concentration correlated with muscle fibrosis both in R DMDdel52 rats and human patients. Fibrosis is a component of tissue remodelling impacting the whole musculature of DMD patients, at the tissue level but most importantly at the functional level. We therefore propose that this specific biomarker can optimize the prognostic monitoring of functional improvement of patients included in clinical trials.

Deletion of DMD exon 52 in the pig results in fulminant muscular dystrophy

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the X-linked dystrophin (DMD) gene. The absence of dystrophin protein leads to progressive muscle weakness and wasting, disability and death. To establish a tailored large animal model of DMD, we deleted DMD exon 52 in male pig cells by gene targeting and generated offspring by nuclear transfer. DMD pigs exhibit absence of dystrophin in skeletal muscles, increased serum creatine kinase levels, progressive dystrophic changes of skeletal muscles, impaired mobility, muscle weakness, and a maximum life span of 3 months due to respiratory impairment. To address the accelerated development of muscular dystrophy in DMD pigs as compared to human patients, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome study of M. biceps femoris samples from 2-day-old and 3-month-old DMD and age-matched wild-type pigs. The transcriptome changes in 3-month-old DMD pigs were in good accordance with the findings of gene expression profiles in human DMD, reflecting the processes of degeneration, regeneration, inflammation, fibrosis, and impaired metabolic activity. The transcriptome profile of 2-day-old DMD pigs pointed towards increased protein and DNA catabolism, reduced extracellular matrix formation and cell proliferation and showed similarities with transcriptome changes induced by exercise injury in muscle. Our transcriptome studies provide new insights into congenital changes associated with dystrophin deficiency and secondary complications arising during postnatal development. Thus the DMD pig is a useful model to determine the hierarchy of physiological derangements in dystrophin-deficient muscle. 13 samples, two conditions, two age-groups, 3-4 biological replicates

IPSC derived cardiac fibroblasts of DMD patients show compromised actin microfilaments, metabolic shift and pro-fibrotic phenotype.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe form of muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. We characterized which isoforms of dystrophin were expressed by human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac fibroblasts obtained from control and DMD patients. Distinct dystrophin isoforms were observed; however, the highest molecular weight isoform was absent in DMD patients carrying exon deletions or mutations in the dystrophin gene. The loss of the full-length dystrophin isoform in hiPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts from DMD patients resulted in deficient formation of actin microfilaments and a metabolic switch from mitochondrial oxidation to glycolysis. The DMD hiPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts exhibited a dysregulated mitochondria network and reduced mitochondrial respiration, with enhanced compensatory glycolysis to sustain cellular ATP production. This metabolic remodeling was associated with an exacerbated myofibroblast phenotype and increased fibroblast activation in response to pro fibrotic challenges. As cardiac fibrosis is a critical pathological feature of the DMD heart, the myofibroblast phenotype induced by the absence of dystophin may contribute to deterioration in cardiac function. Our study highlights therelationship between cytoskeletal dynamics, metabolism of the cell and myofibroblast differentiation and provides a new mechanism by which inactivation of dystrophin in non-cardiomyocyte cells may increase the severity of cardiopathy.

Protein Identification and Post-translational Analysis of DMD and its associated Proteins in H19-proficient and -deficient Cells

Project description:Dystrophin proteomic regulation in Muscular Dystrophies (MD) remains unclear. We report that a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 associates with dystrophin. To investigate the biological roles of this interaction in vivo, we performed mass spectrometry analysis of dystrophin and its associated proteins in H19-proficient and -deficient C2C12 myotubes. Mass spectrometry data indicated that in H19-proficient myotubes, dystrophin associates with components of dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC); however, in H19-deficient myotubes, dystrophin associated with UBA1, UB2G1, TRIM63 ubiquitin E3 ligase and ubiquitin. In H19-deficient myotubes, dystrophin was post-translationally modified with K48-linked poly-ubiquitination at Lys3577 (referred to as Ub-DMD). This mass spectrometry study demonstrated that lncRNA H19, associates with dystrophin and inhibits E3 ligase-dependent Ub-DMD formation and its subsequent proteasomal degradation. Based on this study, H19 RNA oligonucleotides conjugated with a muscle homing ligand Agrin (referred to as AGR-H19) and Nifenazone, a TRIM63-specific small molecule inhibitor, reverses the dystrophin degradation in iPSC-derived skeletal muscle cells from Becker Muscular Dystrophy patients. Furthermore,treatment of mdx mice with exon-skipping reagent, in combination with either AGR-H19 or Nifenazone, dramatically stablized dystrophin, preserved skeletal/cardiac muscle histology, and improved strength/heart function. In summary, this mass spectrometry study paves the way to meaningful targeted therapeutics for BMD and certain DMD patients.

Cyclo His-Pro halts skeletal muscle degeneration and cardiomyopathy in murine myopathy models

Project description:Among the inherited myopathies, a group of muscular disorders characterized by structural and metabolic impairments in skeletal muscle, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) stands out for its devastating progression. Caused by the absence of functional dystrophin, DMD pathogenesis is driven by the progressive degeneration of muscle fibers, resulting in the development of inflammation and fibrosis that ultimately affect the overall muscle biomechanics. On the opposite end of the spectrum of muscle diseases, age-related sarcopenia is a common disease that affects a growing proportion of the elderly, often leading to frailty and loss of independence. Although characterized by fundamentally different pathological mechanisms, DMD and sarcopenia share the development of progressive muscle weakness and tissue inflammation. The natural compound Cyclo Histidine-Proline (CHP) has been shown to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in a number of metabolic diseases, including steatohepatitis and diabetes. We evaluate here the effects of CHP in DMD and sarcopenia. In two independent studies in the mdx mouse model of DMD, we show that CHP restored muscle contractility and force production, accompanied by a robust reduction of fibrosis and inflammation in skeletal muscle. In the mdx model, CHP furthermore prevented the development of cardiomyopathy and fibrosis in the diaphragm, the two leading causes of death for DMD patients. CHP also attenuated muscle atrophy and functional deterioration in a mouse model of age-related sarcopenia. These data in two different models of muscle dysfunction hence warrant further study of the effects of CHP in muscle pathologies in animal models and eventually in patients.

Single Cell RNA-Sequencing of Skeletal Muscle in Dystrophic Mouse Models

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by an out-of-frame mutation in the DMD gene that results in the absence of a functional dystrophin protein, leading to a devastating and progressive lethal muscle-wasting disease. Genetic modifiers have been shown to increase disease severity in DMD mouse models as well as in human patients. Little is known about cellular heterogeneity in skeletal muscle as disease severity increases. To address this, we explored skeletal muscle-resident cell populations in healthy (wt-NSG), dystrophic (mdx-NSG), and severely dystrophic (mdxD2-NSG) mouse models utilizing scRNA-seq. We found an increased frequency of activated fibroblasts, activated fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells, and proinflammatory macrophages in dystrophic and severely dystrophic gastrocnemius muscles. Moreover, in endothelial cells we found an upregulation of extracellular matrix and platelet aggregation genes in dystrophic and severely dystrophic muscles, indicating endothelial cell functional impairment. In summary, this work extends the understanding of the severe nature of DMD, which should be considered when developing regenerative therapeutic avenues for DMD.

effects of microbiome dysbiosis on murine dystrophic muscle

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in DMD encoding dystrophin that leads to loss of muscle function with cardiac/respiratory failure and premature death. Since dystrophic muscles are sensed by infiltrating inflammatory cells and gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation and metabolic syndrome, we sought to investigate whether intestinal bacteria may support the muscle immune response in mdx dystrophic animal model. We assess this question here through unbiased profiling of muscle transcriptome through RNAseq. We found that the absence of gut microbes through the generation of a mdx GF animal model as well as modulation of the microbial community structure by antibiotic treatment revealed the ability of the dystrophic-associated intestinal microbiota to modulate immunity and secondary muscle pathogenetic mechanisms of DMD, including inflammation, fibrosis, and atrophy.

Long-term maintenance of dystrophin expression and resistance to injury of skeletal muscle in gene-edited mice

Project description:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal muscle disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing has been used to correct DMD mutations in animal models at young ages. However, the longevity and durability of CRISPR/Cas9 editing remained to be determined. To address these issues, we subjected DEx44 DMD mice to systemic delivery of AAV9 expressing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing components to reframe exon 45 of the dystrophin gene, allowing robust dystrophin expression and maintenance of muscle structure and function. We showed that genome correction by CRISPR/Cas9 confers lifelong expression of dystrophin in mice and that corrected skeletal muscle is highly durable and resistant to myofiber necrosis and fibrosis, even in response to chronic injury. In contrast, when muscle fibers were ablated by barium chloride injection, satellite cells were unable to restore dystrophin expression due to restriction of gene editing components. Analysis of on-target and off-target gene editing in aged mice confirmed the stability of gene correction and the lack of significant off-target editing at 18 months of age. These findings demonstrate the long-term durability of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing as a therapy for maintaining the integrity and function of DMD muscle, even under conditions of stress.
