Directionality Of Developing Skeletal Muscles Is Set By Mechanical Forces

ABSTRACT: Formation of oriented myofibrils is a key event in the development of a functional musculoskeletal system. However, the mechanisms that control orientation of myocytes, their fusion and the resulting directionality of adult muscles remain enigmatic. Here, we utilized in vivo and in vitro live imaging, CAS9/CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis in fish, genetic experiments in mice and single cell transcriptomics to demonstrate that individual myocyte polarization and subsequent orientation depend on cell stretch imposed by skeletal expansion. Our data revealed that upon migration, individual facial myocytes form unpolarized clusters corresponding to future muscle groups. These clusters undergo oriented stretch and alignment during embryonic growth. Experimental in vivo perturbations of cartilage shape, size and distribution caused disruptions in directionality and number of myofibrils. Controlled in vitro 2D and 3D experiments applying continuous tension via artificial attachment points demonstrated a sufficiency for mechanical forces to instruct coherent polarization of myocyte populations. Consistently, perturbations of cartilage extension revealed a role of the developing skeleton in the directional outgrowth of non-muscle soft tissues during limb and facial morphogenesis.

Cardiac Stretch-Induced Transcriptomic Changes are Axis-Dependent

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine the effect of the major axis of biaxial mechanical stretch on cardiac myocyte gene expression and to identify the signaling pathways and transcription factors regulating these changes. Neonatal cardiac myocytes were cultured on a micropatterned substrate, and the primary stretch axis was applied either parallel or transverse to the myofibril direction. RNA sequencing was conducted to study whole genomic expression changes after acute cardiac myocyte stretch. The results showed a more robust gene response to longitudinal than to transverse stretch. After 30 minutes of stretch, 53 and 168 genes were considered differentially expressed (DE) from transverse and longitudinal stretch, respectively. After 4 hours, the number of DE genes increased to 795 in longitudinal stretch while it decreased to 35 in transverse stretch. Gene ontology term (GO) analysis indicated enrichment of TF activity and protein kinase activity by both stretch axes; whereas longitudinal but not transverse stretch caused expression of genes involved in sarcomere organization and cytoskeletal protein binding.

Transcription profiling of H2O2 treated rat cardiac myocytes

Project description:Title: Changes in gene expression affected by H2O2 in cardiac myocytes. Description: We aim to identify the changes in gene expression in response to oxidative stress in rat neonatal ventricular myocytes. Oxidative stress will be induced by dosing neonatal ventricular myocyte cultures with 0.2, 0.1 and 0.04mM hydrogen peroxide at 2, 4 and 8 hr time points using unstimulated myocytes as control.

Highly efficient derivation of ventricular cardiomyocytes from induced pluripotent stem cells with a distinct epigenetic signature

Project description:The generation of sufficient numbers of mature ventricular myocytes for effective cell-based therapy is a central barrier for cardiac regenerative medicine. Here we demonstrate that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be derived from murine ventricular myocytes, and consistent with other reports of iPSCs derived from various somatic cell types, ventricular myocyte derived iPSCs (ViPSCs) exhibit a markedly higher propensity to differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes as compared to genetically-matched embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or iPSCs derived from tail-tip fibroblasts. Strikingly, ViPSC-derived cardiomyocytes form up to 99% ventricular myocytes suggesting that ventricular myocyte-derived iPSCs may be a viable strategy to generate specific cardiomyocyte subtypes for cell-based therapies. The enhanced ventricular myogenesis in ViPSCs is mediated via increased numbers of cardiovascular progenitors at early stages of differentiation. In order to investigate the mechanism of enhanced ventricular myogenesis from ViPSCs, we performed global gene expression and DNA methylation analysis, which revealed a distinct epigenetic signature that may be involved in specifying the ventricular myocyte fate in pluripotent stem cells. Total RNA was extracted from mouse ES cells, tail tip fibroblasts (TTFs), ventricular myocytes (VMs), TTF-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (TiPSCs) and VM-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (ViPSCs). Global gene expression profiling was performed using affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 gene arrays.
