Project description:Global gene expression analysis was performed comparing human skeletal muscle samples from patients with various forms of muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial myopathies in order to identify specific gene expression changes associated with collagen VI deficiency (leading to UllrichM-BM-4s Congenital Muscular Dystrophy) and depletion of mitochondrial DNA relative to other mitochondrial myopathies We analysed the gene expression profile of skeletal muscle from children suffering from mitochondrial myopathies and various forms of muscular dystrophy relative to skeletal muscle from healthy children using commercially available arrays that represents the complete human genome (Agilent Human SurePrintGE, 8x60K )

Project description:Molecular characterization of collagen-VI related myopathies currently relies on standard sequencing, which yields a detection rate approximating 75-79% in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and 60-65% in Bethlem myopathy (BM) patients as PCR-based techniques tend to miss gross genomic rearrangements as well as copy number variations (CNVs) in both the coding sequence and intronic regions. We have designed a custom oligonucleotide CGH array in order to investigate the presence of CNVs in the coding and non-coding regions of COL6A1, A2, A3, A5 and A6 genes and a group of genes functionally related to collagen VI. A cohort of 12 patients with UCMD/BM negative at sequencing analysis and 2 subjects carrying a single COL6 mutation whose clinical phenotype was not explicable by inheritance were selected and the occurrence of allelic and genetic heterogeneity explored. A deletion within intron 1A of the COL6A2 gene, occurring in compound heterozygosity with a small deletion in exon 28, previously detected by routine sequencing, was identified in a BM patient. RNA studies showed monoallelic transcription of the COL6A2 gene, thus elucidating the functional effect of the intronic deletion. No pathogenic mutations were identified in the remaining analyzed patients, either within COL6A genes, or in genes functionally related to collagen VI. Our custom CGH array may represent a useful complementary diagnostic tool, especially in recessive forms of the disease, when only one mutant allele is detected by standard sequencing. The intronic deletion we identified represents the first example of a pure intronic mutation in COL6A genes. Comparative Genomic Hybridization experiment. Experimental Replicates: twice

Project description:Collagen VI-related muscular dystrophies (COL6RD) are a rare, inherited group of congenital muscular dystrophies. The phenotype spans from an early-onset, severe, and rapidly progressive clinical course in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD), to a late-onset, mild and slowly progressive form in Bethlem muscular dystrophy (BM). COL6RD are caused by pathogenic variants in any of the three collagen type VI genes (COL6A1, COL6A2, COL6A3), which cause absence, reduction, mislocalization, or dysfunction of the collagen VI microfibrils in the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (myomatrix), leading to yet incompletely understood downstream effects. Pathologic alterations in muscle biopsies of COL6RD varies, ranging from severely dystrophic changes, to mildly myopathic, represented by isolated myofiber atrophy. In this study, we aim to define the pathophysiologic events responsible for the histologic alterations of muscle and their progression in COL6RD. Aided by automated image analysis, we reviewed COL6RD patient muscle biopsies (n=22) and stratified them to three groups based on the degree of fibrosis and muscle fiber atrophy. Using microarray and RNA-Seq, we then performed global gene expression profiling on the same muscle biopsies and compared it with controls (n=14). Different histologic groups were characterized by similar transcriptional signatures predominantly featuring the upregulation of myomatrix component genes and downregulation of skeletal muscle and mitochondrion-specific genes. Our results also identified the TGFβ1 pathway in strong correlation with the development of COL6RD pathology at the histologic level, beginning early in the disease process, preceding fibrosis, and increasing in direct correlation with increased histologic severity. Overall, our study identifies COL6RD as a primary disorder of the myomatrix and posits dysregulation of TGFβ1-dependent pathways as a potential factor in pathogenesis of the disease.

Project description:Objectives: The collagen VI related muscular dystrophies (COL6-RD), Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM) are among the most common congenital muscular dystrophies, but the pathogenesis, including the role of mutant collagen VI in the matrix is poorly understood. To better define the pathways disrupted by mutations in collagen VI, we have used a transcriptional profiling approach with RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in COL6-RD patients from controls. Methods: We have used RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in cultured dermal fibroblasts from 13 COL6-RD patients (8 dominant negative and 5 null) and 6 controls. Sequence reads were analyzed using the TopHat/Cufflinks pipeline. Results: Differentially expressed transcripts between COL6-RD patient and control fibroblasts include upregulation of ECM components and downregulation of factors controlling matrix remodeling and repair. DN and null samples are differentiated by downregulation of genes involved with DNA replication and repair in null samples

Project description:In this study, we aim to identify common miRNA signatures in the pathogenesis of different NMD groups (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Megaconial Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), Ullrich CMD and alpha-dystroglycanopathy) (abbreviated as D, M, U, and A, respectively) each caused by mutations in different genes encoding proteins with distinct roles. For this purpose, we isolated miRNAs from the skeletal muscle tissues of three patients from four disease groups and three control individuals (15 individuals in total) and we performed miRNA microarray method (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Array). In order to find out differentially expressed miRNAs in patients, we analyzed raw data by two different databases. Differentially expressed miRNAs that were found to be statistically significant by using both the programs (with parameters, fold change ≥2.0 and FDR=0 for MeV-SAM analysis; and p<0.05 for TAC-ANOVA analysis) were identified as the potential miRNA candidates.

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant disorder linked to contractions of the D4Z4 repeat array in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. By comparing genome-wide gene expression data from muscle biopsies of patients with FSHD to those of 11 other neuromuscular disorders, we intend to identify disease-specific changes which are more likely to be involved in the early stages of the disease progression. The data will help to identify pathological mechanisms involved in FSHD. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of the profiles of FSHD to 13 other conditions for disease-specific changes. The 13 conditions are NHM (Normal healthy muscle) n=15; JDM (Juvenile dermatomyositis) n=25; HSP (Human spastic paraplegia) n=4; FSHD (facioscapulohumeral dystrophy) unaffected n=5, affected n=9; FKRP (Fukutin related protein deficiency) n=7; ED-L (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, lamin A/C deficiency) n=4; ED-E (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, emerin deficiency) n=4; DYSF (dysferlinopathy) n=10; DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) n=10; CALP (Calpain-3 deficiency) n=10; BMD (Becker Muscular Dystrophy) n=5; AQM (Acute quadriplegic myopathy) n=5; ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) n=9.
