DNA Replication Timing is Maintained Genome-wide in Primary Human Myoblasts Independent of D4Z4 Contraction in FSH Muscular Dystrophy

ABSTRACT: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is linked to contraction of an array of tandem 3.3-kb repeats (D4Z4) at 4q35.2 from 11-100 copies to 1-10 copies. The extent to which D4Z4 contraction at 4q35.2 affects overall 4q35.2 chromatin organization remains unclear. Because DNA replication timing is highly predictive of long-range chromatin interactions, we generated genome-wide replication-timing profiles for FSHD and control myogenic precursor cells. We compared non-immortalized myoblasts from four FSHD patients and three control individuals to each other and to a variety of other human cell types. This study also represents the first genome-wide comparison of replication timing profiles in non-immortalized human cell cultures. Myoblasts from both control and FSHD individuals all shared a myoblast-specific replication profile. In contrast, male and female individuals were readily distinguished by monoallelic differences in replication timing at DXZ4 and other regions across the X chromosome affected by X inactivation. We conclude that replication timing is a robust cell-type specific feature that is unaffected by FSHD-related D4Z4 contraction.

DNA Replication Timing is Maintained Genome-wide in Primary Human Myoblasts Independent of D4Z4 Contraction in FSH Muscular Dystrophy

An allele-aware approach identifies altered nuclear associations of the contracted D4Z4 array at the FSHD locus

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by a deletion in a D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat array in the 4q subtelomere that leads to somatic de-repression of the transcription factor DUX4. It is not fully understood how array contractions cause de-repression, but they alter the local chromatin structure of D4Z4, resulting in loss of heterochromatic markers. In order to determine whether pathogenic contractions also alter the nuclear organization of the FSHD locus, we designed an allele-aware, high-throughput circular chromosome conformation capture assay (4C-seq) that distinguishes the two 4q copies of the locus from each other and from a paralogous locus in the 10q subtelomere. Using a short sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) four kilobasepairs from the array as âharacterized the genomic contacts made by the four copies of the FSHD locus in muscle cell nuclei. The SSLP contacts predominate on the same chromosome arm as the bait, decaying rapidly beyond 30-40 Mb. Contacts on other chromosomes were enriched near centromeres and CTCF sites. We also found that the FSHD locus normally contacts regions adjacent to the nuclear lamina and with low overall gene expression. However, we found that the deleted locus in FSHD cells makes more contacts with regions with comparatively lower lamina adjacency and higher overall gene expression than in control cells. Furthermore, association of D4Z4 with components of the nuclear lamina was reduced in FSHD cells relative to control cells. Our results suggest that altered nuclear organization at 4q35 may be one factor in the de-repression of DUX4 in FSHD. 5 primary cells (2 control, 1 FSHD1, 1 FSHD2, and 1 FSHD3) were used to generate 4C libraries in biological duplicate, for a total of 10 4C libraries

D4Z4-located miRNA

Project description:We have used a tiled microarray based on the D4Z4 sequence, and hybridized amplified transcripts from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and control (CTRL) samples to detect D4Z4 related expression. Microarrays were analyzed by GenePix Pro 6 (Axon). Local background corrected, median spot intensities were normalized using VSN in R. Due to this normalization strategy, we have treated the microarrays as single channels. The normalized values are uploaded with each sample. Hybridizations were performed in a dye-swap fashion. Samples GSM306099 and GSM306100 are on a single array, and so are GSM306101 and GSM306102, GSM306103 and GSM306104, GSM306105 and GSM306106.

Hit-and-run silencing of endogenous DUX4 by targeting DNA hypomethylation on D4Z4 repeats in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [EPIC Methylation]

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a progressive skeletal muscle disorder, is epigenetically characterized with DNA hypomethylation of D4Z4 repeats in 4q35 region, allowing aberrant DUX4 expression. Sustainable DUX4 suppression is a promising therapeutic clue to prevent disease progression, but most of the supposed methods depend on expression of their mediator biochemical entity, potentially narrowing QoL of individuals with FSHD in the clinical context. In this study, we report that by applying hit-and-run silencing with dCas9-mediated epigenetic editing targeting DNA hypomethylation on D4Z4 repeats, we could achieve suppression of endogenous DUX4 in our FSHD patients-derived iPSC model. Notably, DNA methylation was significantly upregulated in FSHD cells and suppression effect was observed at least two weeks after intervention, which was not the case by transient treatment of typical dCas9-KRAB alone. Off-target analysis showed that despite the potential genome-wide risk in DNA methylation, the impact on transcriptome was limited. We propose that hit-and-run silencing can be a promising option to prevent disease progression with minimum intervention for individuals with FSHD, motivating further study for clinical development.

Expression profiling FSHD vs. control myoblasts and myotubes

Project description:The gene expression pathways leading to muscle pathology in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) remain to be elucidated. This muscular dystrophy is caused by a contraction of an array of tandem 3.3-kb repeats (D4Z4) at 4q35.2. We compared expression of control and FSHD myoblasts and myotubes (three preparations each) on exon microarrays (Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST) and validated FSHD-specific differences for representative genes by qRT-PCR on additional myoblast cell strains. The FSHD and control myoblasts used for these experiments were shown to grow and differentiate into myotubes equally efficiently as control myoblasts. There were no significant FSHD-control differences in RNA levels for MYOD1 and MYOG at the myoblast and myotube stages and for MYF5 and MYF6 at the myoblast stage. In contrast, 295 other genes were dysregulated at least 2-fold in FSHD vs. control myoblasts (p <0.01, adjusted for multiple comparisons). Remarkably, only 10% of the FSHD-associated gene dysregulation at the myoblast stage was downregulation. At the myotube stage, about ten times as many genes exhibited FSHD-associated downregulated as at the myoblast stage and twice as many genes displayed FSHD-associated upregulation. The FSHD-related changes in RNA levels appear to be due to posttranscriptional as well as transcriptional alterations. Among the prominently dysregulated pathways were signaling and oxidative stress pathways. By comparing expression profiles of control myoblasts and myotubes to each other and to 19 non-muscle cell types profiled identically, our study also revealed many new myogenesis associations for genes not previously annotated as muscle-specific.

Small noncoding RNAs in FSHD2 muscle cells reveal both DUX4- and SMCHD1-specific signatures

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by insufficient epigenetic repression of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat where DUX4, an FSHD causing gene is embedded. There are two forms of FSHD, FSHD1 with contraction of D4Z4 repeat and FSHD2 with chromatin compaction defects mostly due to SMCHD1 mutation. Previous reports showed DUX4-induced gene expression changes as well as changes in microRNA expression in FSHD muscle cells. However, a genome wide analysis of small noncoding RNAs that might be regulated by DUX4 or by mutations in SMCHD1 has not been reported yet. Here, we identified several types of small noncoding RNAs including known microRNAs that are differentially expressed in FSHD2 muscle cells compared to control. Although fewer small RNAs were differentially expressed during muscle differentiation in FSHD2 cells compared to controls, most of the known myogenic microRNAs, such as miR1, miR133a, and miR206 were induced in both FSHD2 and control muscle cells during differentiation. Our small RNA sequencing data analysis also revealed both DUX4- and SMCHD1-specific changes in FSHD2 muscle cells. Six FSHD2 microRNAs were affected by DUX4 overexpression in control myoblasts, whereas increased expression of tRNAs and 5S rRNAs in FSHD2 muscle cells was largely recapitulated in SMCHD1-depleted control myoblasts. Altogether, our studies suggest that the small noncoding RNA transcriptome changes in FSHD2 might be different from those in FSHD1 and that these differences may provide new diagnostic and therapeutic tools specific to FSHD2.
