ERBB3 and NGFR mark distinct skeletal muscle progenitor cells in human development enabling enrichment and maturation of hPSC muscle

ABSTRACT: Abstract: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be directed to differentiate into skeletal muscle progenitor cells (SMPCs). However, the myogenic potential of hPSC-SMPCs compared to human fetal or adult satellite cells (Scs) remains unclear. This study demonstrates hPSC-SMPCs derived by commonly used protocols are functionally less mature than freshly-isolated human fetal or adult Scs. We utilized RNA-SEQ of human fetal Scs to identify differentially expressed genes including NGFR, ERBB3, which enriched for MYOD+ or PAX7+ cells. Furthermore, inhibition of TGFβ (TGFβi) improved hPSC-muscle maturation in three independent lines as measured by TEM and expression of myosins. Engraftment of CRISPR/Cas9-corrected Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) hiPSC-SMPC subpopulations treated with TGFβi in vivo, increased dystrophin-positive fibers to levels of engrafted cultured fetal Scs in mdx mouse models of DMD. This work provides the first characterization of the developmental status of hPSC-SMPCs and identifies candidates to enable robust myogenic activity in vitro and in vivo.

Single Cell RNA-Sequencing of Human Limb Skeletal Muscle across Development and Myogenic Culture from Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:The developmental trajectory of human skeletal myogenesis and the transition between progenitor and stem cell states are unclear. To address this, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing to profile human skeletal muscle tissues from embryonic, fetal and postnatal stages. In silico, we identified myogenic as well as other cell types and constructed a “roadmap” of human skeletal muscle ontogeny across development. In a similar fashion, we also profiled the heterogeneous cell cultures generated from multiple human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) myogenic differentiation protocols, and mapped hPSC-derived myogenic progenitors to an embryonic-to-fetal transition period. Additionally, we found differentially enriched biological processes and discovered co-regulated gene networks and transcription factors present at distinct myogenic stages. In summary, this work serves as a resource for advancing our knowledge of human myogenesis. It also provides a tool for better characterization and understanding of hPSC-derived myogenic progenitors for translational applications in skeletal muscle based regenerative medicine.

Prednisolone rescues Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy phenotypes in human pluripotent stem cells-derived skeletal muscle in vitro

Project description:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating genetic disease leading to degeneration of skeletal muscles and premature death. How dystrophin absence leads to muscle wasting remains unclear. Here, we describe an optimized protocol to differentiate human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) to a late myogenic stage. This allows to recapitulate classical DMD phenotypes (mislocalization of proteins of the Dystrophin glycoprotein associated complex (DGC), increased fusion, myofiber branching, force contraction defects and calcium hyperactivation) in isogenic DMD-mutant iPSC lines in vitro. Treatment of the myogenic cultures with prednisolone (the standard of care for DMD) can dramatically rescue force contraction, fusion and branching defects in DMD iPSC lines. This argues that prednisolone acts directly on myofibers, challenging the largely prevalent view that its beneficial effects are due to anti-inflammatory properties. Our work introduces a new human in vitro model to study the onset of DMD pathology and test novel therapeutic approaches.

Epigenetic control of myogenic identity of human muscle stem cells in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Project description:In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the absence of the subsarcolemmal dystrophin protein leads to repeated myofiber damages inducing cycles of muscle regeneration that is driven by muscle stem cells (MuSCs). With time, MuSC regenerative capacities are overwhelmed, leading to fibrosis and muscle atrophy. Whether MuSCs from DMD muscle have intrinsic alterations or are primed by their degenerative/regenerative environment is still debated. We investigated cell behavior and gene expression in human using MuSCs derived from DMD or healthy muscles. We found that proliferation, differentiation and fusion were not altered in DMD-MuSCs, but with time, they lost the expression of the myogenic marker CD56 twice as fast as healthy MuSCs. The rapid drift towards a fibroblast-like cell identity was observed at the clonal level, and resulted from the altered expression of epigenetic enzymes required to maintain the myogenic cell fate. Indeed, the reexpression of CBX3, SMC3, H2AFV and H3F3B prevented the MuSC identity drift. Amongst the epigenetic changes, a closing of chromatin at the gene encoding the transcription factor MEF2B caused a down-regulation of its expression and a loss of the myogenic fate. Thus, MEF2B is a key mediator of the myogenic identity in human MuSCs, that is altered in DMD pathology.

Scalable generation of Schwann cell precursors from human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

ERBB3 and NGFR mark a distinct skeletal muscle progenitor cell in human development and hPSCs.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be directed to differentiate into skeletal muscle progenitor cells (SMPCs). However, the myogenicity of hPSC-SMPCs relative to human fetal or adult satellite cells remains unclear. We observed that hPSC-SMPCs derived by directed differentiation are less functional in vitro and in vivo compared to human satellite cells. Using RNA sequencing, we found that the cell surface receptors ERBB3 and NGFR demarcate myogenic populations, including PAX7 progenitors in human fetal development and hPSC-SMPCs. We demonstrated that hPSC skeletal muscle is immature, but inhibition of transforming growth factor-? signalling during differentiation improved fusion efficiency, ultrastructural organization and the expression of adult myosins. This enrichment and maturation strategy restored dystrophin in hundreds of dystrophin-deficient myofibres after engraftment of CRISPR-Cas9-corrected Duchenne muscular dystrophy human induced pluripotent stem cell-SMPCs. The work provides an in-depth characterization of human myogenesis, and identifies candidates that improve the in vivo myogenic potential of hPSC-SMPCs to levels that are equal to directly isolated human fetal muscle cells.

Single Cell sequencing of mononuclear cells from regenerating skeletal muscle

Project description:Skeletal muscle stem cells, or satellite cells (SCs), are essential to regenerate and maintain muscle. Quiescent SCs reside in an asymmetric niche between the basal lamina and myofiber membrane. To repair muscle, SCs activate, proliferate, and differentiate, fusing to repair myofibers or reacquiring quiescence to replenish the SC niche. Little is known about when SCs reacquire quiescence during regeneration or the cellular processes that direct SC fate decisions and progression through myogenesis. Single cell sequencing of myogenic cells in regenerating muscle identifies SCs reacquiring quiescence and reveals that non-cell autonomous signaling networks influence SC fate decisions during regeneration. Single cell RNA-sequencing of regenerating skeletal muscle reveals that RBP expression, including numerous neuromuscular disease-associated RBPs, is temporally regulated in skeletal muscle stem cells and correlates to stages of myogenic differentiation. By combining machine learning with RBP engagement scoring, we discover that the neuromuscular disease associated RBP Hnrnpa2b1 is a differentiation-specifying regulator of myogenesis controlling myogenic cell fate transitions during terminal differentiation.

miR106b inhibition improves myogenic regenerative capacity of murine and human muscle stem cells and attenuates muscular dystrophy phenotype

Project description:Satellite cells (SCs), the skeletal muscle stem cells, display functional heterogeneity linked to their regenerative potential. Dramatic changes in their behaviour are also associated to muscle wasting diseases. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms controlling satellite cell heterogeneous behaviour during muscle regeneration and diseases has become increasingly important for regenerative medicine. Here, we show that miR-106bis expressed in Myf5- quiescent SCs and downregulated during SC activation and muscle regeneration. In vitro and in vivo studies to show that miR106b inhibition enhances the regenerative capability of murine and human SCs by increasing myogenic precursors. miR106b is increased in dystrophic mice and intramuscular injection of antimiR enhances muscle regeneration accompanied by significant functional recovery. miR-106b is also elevated in human dystrophic SCs and its inhibition improves intrinsic proliferative defects, increasing their myogenic differentiation potential. Therefore, this study identifies miR-106b as compelling candidate to consider for potential clinical studies.

The DMD locus harbours multiple long non-coding RNAs which orchestrate and control transcription of muscle dystrophin mRNA isoforms

Project description:The 2.2 Mb long dystrophin (DMD) gene, the largest gene in the human genome, corresponds to roughly 0.1% of the entire human DNA sequence. Mutations in this gene cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other milder X-linked, recessive dystrophinopathies. Using a custom-made tiling array, specifically designed for the DMD locus, we identified a variety of novel long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), both sense and antisense oriented, whose expression profiles mirror that of DMD gene. Importantly, these transcripts are intronic in origin and specifically localized to the nucleus and are transcribed contextually with dystrophin isoforms or primed by MyoD-induced myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, their forced ectopic expression in both human muscle and neuronal cells causes a specific and negative regulation of endogenous dystrophin full length isoforms and significantly down-regulate the activity of a luciferase reporter construct carrying the minimal promoter regions of the muscle dystrophin isoform. Consistent with this apparently repressive role, we found that, in muscle samples of DMD symptomatic female carriers, lncRNAs expression levels inversely correlate with those of muscle full length DMD isoforms. Overall these findings unveil an unprecedented complexity of the transcriptional pattern of the DMD locus and reveal that DMD-specific lncRNAs may contribute to the orchestration and homeostasis of the muscle dystrophin expression pattern by selective targeting and down-modulation of dystrophin promoter transcriptional activity.
