Signaling through the dystrophin glycoprotein complex affects the stress-dependent transcriptome in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Deficiencies in the human dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC), which links the extracellular matrix with the intracellular cytoskeleton, cause muscular dystrophies, a group of incurable disorders associated with heterogeneous muscle, brain and eye abnormalities. Stresses such as nutrient deprivation and aging cause muscle wasting, which can be exacerbated by reduced levels of the DGC in membranes, the integrity of which is vital for muscle health and function. Moreover, the DGC operates in multiple signaling pathways, demonstrating an important function in gene expression regulation. To advance disease diagnostics and treatment strategies, we strive to understand the genetic pathways that are perturbed by DGC mutations. Here, we utilize a Drosophila model to investigate the transcriptomic changes in mutants of four DGC components under temperature and metabolic stress. We identify DGC-dependent genes, stress-dependent genes and genes dependent on the DGC for a proper stress response, confirming a novel function of the DGC in stress-response signaling. This perspective yields new insights into the etiology of muscular dystrophy symptoms, possible treatment directions and a better understanding of DGC signaling and regulation under normal and stress conditions.

Histone deacetylase 4 represses dystrophin-glycoprotein (DGC) complex expression

Project description:Dysfunction of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a frequent cause of hereditary forms of muscular dystrophy. Although DGC function in maintaining skeletal muscle integrity has been well characterized, little is known about how the DGC complex is coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level. To test this hypothesis, we engineered HDAC4 stably overexpressing and control myotubes in an in vitro model of muscle differentiation. Here we present evidence that HDAC4, a neural activity-responsive histone deacetylase, is a critical transcriptional regulator of the DGC complex. We show that HDAC4 can repress multiple components of the DGC complex, including dystrophin and sarcoglycan family members in both cultured myotubes. To confirm this finding, the protein levels of core DGC complex members including dystrophin, sarcoglycan complex members, and additional dystrophin-associated proteins were evaluated in differentiated myotubes by western analysis. Keywords: genetic modification and cell type comparison of muscle cells

C2C12 mouse myotubes were infected with either a HDAC4 expressing or control (Neo) retroviruses. After stable selection, myotubes were differentiated at 90% confluency in 2% horse serum (Hyclone) for 4 days. At this time point, RNA was extracted and the two types of cells compared in a microarray analysis.

A signaling hub of insulin receptor dystrophin glycoprotein complex and plakoglobin regulates muscle size

Project description:Signaling through the insulin receptor governs central physiological functions related to cell growth and metabolism. Here we show by tandem native protein complex purification approach and super-resolution STED microscopy that insulin receptor activity requires association with the fundamental structural module in muscle, the dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC), and the desmosomal component plakoglobin (g-catenin). The integrity of this high-molecular-mass assembly renders skeletal muscle susceptibility to insulin because DGC-insulin receptor dissociation by plakoglobin downregulation reduced insulin signaling and caused atrophy. Furthermore, low insulin receptor activity in muscles from transgenic or fasted mice decreased plakoglobin-DGC-insulin receptor content on the plasma membrane, but not when plakoglobin was overexpressed. By masking b-dystroglycan LIR domains, plakoglobin prevents autophagic clearance of plakoglobin-DGC-insulin receptor co-assemblies and maintains their function. Our findings establish DGC as a signaling hub, and provide a possible mechanism for the insulin resistance in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and for the cardiomyopathies seen with plakoglobin mutations.

Dystrophin domains R4-15 and R20-23

Project description:Goal was to assess protein linkers between microtubules and dystrophin (specifically dystrophin regions R4-15 and R20-23). Two paired 10-plex TMT experiments were used to compare sixteen unique Dystrophin Glycoprotein Complex (or microtubule) enrichments (four genotypes, each with n=4) plus four pooled samples to allow comparison across the two individual 10-plex experiments for microtubules or DGC. A pair of 10-plex TMT(20 tags total) for the DGC enrichements, and a second pair of TMT (20 tags) for the MT enrichments. Samples are gastroc skeletal muscle from mouse.

Molecular signatures of membrane protein complexes underlying muscular dystrophy

Project description:Mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcolemmal dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) are responsible for a large number of muscular dystrophies. As such, molecular dissection of the DGC is expected to both reveal pathological mechanisms, and provides a biological framework for validating new DGC components. Establishment of the molecular composition of plasma-membrane protein complexes has been hampered by a lack of suitable biochemical approaches. Here we present an analytical workflow based upon the principles of protein correlation profiling that has enabled us to model the molecular composition of plasma-membrane protein complexes in mouse skeletal muscle. We also report our analysis of protein complexes in mice harboring mutations in DGC components, which implicates cell-adhesion pathways directly targeted by NFκB in the pathophysiology of DGC-related muscular dystrophies. Our study suggests that inflammatory and compensatory mechanisms are activated in these diseases. Additionally, it provides a molecular framework that will facilitate refinement of our understanding of the DGC, identification of protein biomarkers of neuromuscular disease, and pharmacological interrogation of the DGC in adult skeletal muscle.

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.
