Project description:Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are emerging cellular components of the skeletal muscle regenerative environment. The alternative functional phenotype of FAPs - either supportive of muscle regeneration or promoting fibro-adipogenic degeneration - is a key determinant in the pathogenesis of muscular diseases, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). However, the molecular regulation of FAPs is still unknown. We show here that an "HDAC-myomiR-BAF60 variant network" regulates the functional phenotype of FAPs in dystrophic muscles of mdx mice. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression microarray and genome-wide chromatin remodeling by Nuclease accessibility (NA)-seq revealed that HDAC inhibitors de-repress a "latent" myogenic program in FAPs from dystrophic muscles at early stages of disease progression. In these cells HDAC inhibition promoted the expression of two core components of the myogenic transcriptional machinery, MyoD and BAF60C, and upregulated the myomiRs (miRs) miR-1.2, miR-133 and miR-206, which target two alternative BAF60 variants (BAF60A and B) ultimately leading to the activation of a pro-myogenic program at the expense of the fibro-adipogenic phenotype. By contrast, FAPs from dystrophic muscles at late stages of disease progression displayed resistance to HDACi-induced chromatin remodeling at myogenic loci and fail to activate the pro-myogenic phenotype. These results reveal a previously unappreciated disease stage-specific bipotency of mesenchimal cells within the regenerative environment of dystrophic muscles. Resolution of such bi-potency by epigenetic interventions, such as HDACi, provides the molecular rationale for the in situ reprogramming of target cells to promote therapeutic regeneration of dystrophic muscles. miRNA modulation upon Histone Deacetylase inhibition in Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors (FAPs) derived from young mdx mice was evaluated by small RNA-sequencing in 2 controls and 2 treated samples

Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate how melatonin-influenced promyogenic factor secreted from fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) regulate muscle regeneration and muscle cell fusion during muscle repair. We highlighted the role of melatonin in regulating crosstalk between muscle stem cells and FAPs during muscle regeneration. Mice that were treated with melatonin exhibited improved muscle regeneration and reduced intramuscular fat deposition, which were associated with enhanced myogenesis, remodeled lipid metabolism and reduced immune cell infiltration. Notably, melatonin did not exert positive effects on cell fusion and myotube formation during differentiation. Interestingly, melatonin repressed fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) adipogenesis in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Furthermore, melatonin treatment enhanced the pro-myogenic effects of FAPs, which stimulated GDF10 secretion to promote muscle cell fusion and induce myotube hypertrophy.

Genome-wide chromatin accessibility patterns in FAPs cells derived from mdx mice at different ages treated either with HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) or with vehicle (saline solution) were assessed using NA-seq (PMID: 19289091)

Project description:In this work we employed classic skeletal muscle unloading rat model to determine how hindlimb suspension (HS) affects functional activity of skeletal muscle progenitor cells (SMPC). We have purified SMPC from m. soleus from control rats and after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of exposure (HS1, HS3, HS7, HS14).

Project description:We investigated the transcriptome of cell states identified in fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) isolated from mdx mice using as a criterion SCA-1 expression. We found that after 5 days in growth medium FAP cell states have different transcriptomes. In particular, among the "Biological process" GO terms enriched in genes up-regulated in SCA1-High-FAPs we found genes correlated with adipogenic differentiation. Indeed, several genes directly regulated by PPAR-gamma are up-regulated in SCA1-High-FAPs. This experiment demonstrates that the adipogenic propensity of SCA1-High-FAPs arise spontaneously in vitro.

Project description:Utilizing glycerol intramuscular injections in M. musculus provides a model of skeletal muscle damage followed by skeletal muscle regeneration. In particular, glycerol-induced muscle injury triggers accute activation of muscle Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors, also called FAPs. However, aging dramatically impairs FAP function. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of young and old FAPs in the non-proliferative and activated state, freshly isolated to non-injured or damaged muscles, respectively. Our goal was to uncover new regulatory signalings specific to FAP entry into the activation program that are affected with age.

Project description:Pharmacological treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) is currently being tested in clinical trials. Pre-clinical studies performed in mdx mice - the mouse model of DMD - have shown that HDACi promote compensatory muscle regeneration, while inhibiting fibro-adipogenic degeneration, by targeting fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs); however, these beneficial effects are restricted to early stages of disease progression. We show here that FAPs from late stage mdx mice exhibit epigenetic and transcriptional features of senescence that could not be fully reversed by HDACi. In particular, genome-wide increase in H3K9/14 acetylation at gene promoters of Senescence Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) genes was associated with their upregulation in late stage mdx FAPs. Treatment with the HDACi Trichostatin A (TSA) could inhibit SASP gene activation in FAPs, by decreasing H3K9/14 acetylation. Conversely, combinatorial decrease of H3K27 and/or H3K9/14 acetylation at promoters of genes required for cycle activation and progression was associated with their downregulation in FAPs from late stage mdx mice. However, these epigenetic and transcriptional alterations could not be reversed by TSA, due to a general resistance exhibited by FAPs from late stage mdx mice to HDACi-induced H3K9/14 hyperacetylation. Overall, this data reveal that disease-associated features of senescence develop in FAPs of DMD muscle through epigenetically distinct and pharmacologically dissociable events, and suggests that HDACi might at least retain anti- fibrotic and inflammatory activity at late stages of DMD, by repressing FAP-derived SASP.
