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 M-bM-^@M-^S 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 M-bM-^@M-^\HDAC-myomiR-BAF60 variant networkM-bM-^@M-^] 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 M-bM-^@M-^\latentM-bM-^@M-^] 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) 1.2, 133 and 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. 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: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.

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.
