Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) accumulate in skeletal muscle from dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. Analysis of global gene expression in muscles from mdx mice treated with anti-CD25 compared with muscles from mdx mice treated with control antibody revealed that Tregs partially protect mdx mice from muscle pathology and promote muscle repair/regeneration. Mdx mice received 2 ip injections of 100 mg of anti-CD25 mAb (clone PC61) or rat IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) at days 17 and 20 of age. Muscles were dissected 7 days after the last injection.

Project description:Fibro adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) promote satellite cell differentiation in adult skeletal muscle regeneration. However, in pathological conditions, FAPs are responsible for fibrosis and fatty infiltrations. Here we show that the NOTCH pathway negatively modulates FAP differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. However, FAPs isolated from young dystrophin- deficient mdx mice are insensitive to this control mechanism. An unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of FAPs from muscles of wild type and mdx mice, suggest that the synergistic cooperation between NOTCH and inflammatory signals controls FAP differentiation. Remarkably, we demonstrated that factors released by hematopoietic cells restore the sensitivity to NOTCH adipogenic inhibition in mdx FAPs. These results offer a basis for rationalizing pathological ectopic fat infiltrations in skeletal muscle and may suggest new therapeutic strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of fat depositions in muscles of dystrophic patients.

Project description:We report here on the identification and functional characterization of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells that contribute to regeneration or fibroadipogenic degeneration of dystrophic muscles and mediate the beneficial effects of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) in mdx mice. We found that the phenotype adopted by these cells and their biological activity are influenced by changes in muscle environment. While Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells from healthy muscles spontaneously adopt a fibro-adipogenic phenotype, Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from dystrophic muscles of young mdx mice show a latent myogenic phenotype that is implemented by the exposure to HDACi. Co-culture assays in vitro and co-transplantation experiments in vivo demonstrate that HDACi also improve Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cell ability to enhance the differentiation potential of adjacent satellite cells. Importantly, HDACi-induced myogenic phenotype and pro-regeneration activity were not observed in Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from muscles of old mdx mice. The different phenotype of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells from mdx mice at different stages of disease progression correlated with the stage-dependent beneficial effect of HDACi, which were effective only at early stages of disease. Transplantation of Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells isolated from regenerating young muscles into muscles of old mdx mice restored HDACi ability to increase myofiber size. These results indicate that Sca1-positive muscle interstitial cells are key cellular determinants of disease progression and mediate the beneficial effect of HDACi in a mouse model of muscular dystrophy.

Project description:MicroRNA-expression profile of dystrophic single fibers compared to wild type single fibers isolated from different muscles of mdx and C57BL mice. Myofibers were isolated from different muscle types (tibialis, diaphragm and quadriceps) of gender- (male) and age- (3 month old and half) matched wt and dystrophic mice. 9 total samples per animal model (C57BL, mdx), 3 replicates per muscle type.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating and typically fatal X-linked progressive neuromuscular disorder that results in progressive muscle degeneration aggravated by sterile inflammation. The P2RX7 purinoceptor is an extracellular ATP-gated ion channel expressed in immune cells, and has been targeted in treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases. In particular, P2xr7 receptor abnormalities have been demonstrated in mdx dystrophic mice, a model for DMD lacking expression of the full length dystrophin transcript through a single point mutation in exon 23. Here, we looked at the differential effects in gene expression regulation in whole muscle in dystrophic mdx mice with or without ablation of the P2rx7 purinoceptor.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in DMD encoding dystrophin that leads to loss of muscle function with cardiac/respiratory failure and premature death. Since dystrophic muscles are sensed by infiltrating inflammatory cells and gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation and metabolic syndrome, we sought to investigate whether intestinal bacteria may support the muscle immune response in mdx dystrophic animal model. We assess this question here through unbiased profiling of muscle transcriptome through RNAseq. We found that the absence of gut microbes through the generation of a mdx GF animal model as well as modulation of the microbial community structure by antibiotic treatment revealed the ability of the dystrophic-associated intestinal microbiota to modulate immunity and secondary muscle pathogenetic mechanisms of DMD, including inflammation, fibrosis, and atrophy.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limitation of life. In addition to the inherent weakness of dystrophin-deficient muscle, the dysfunction of resident muscle stem cells significantly contributes to disease progression. Using the mdx mouse model of DMD, we performed an in-depth characterization of disease progression and muscle stem cell (MuSC) function in dystrophin deficient skeletal muscle using immunohistology, isometric force measurements, transplantation assays, and transcriptomic analysis. Here, we performed bulk RNA-sequencing of wild-type (WT) and mdx myogenic cells in different conditions.
