Project description:We report the application of single myofiber ATAC-Seq (smfATAC-Seq) to investigate the chromatin accessibility of a single myofiber without the presence of confounding muscle resident cell types. This method demonstrates that open chromatin regions of myonuclei can be tagmentated and high-quality sequencing ready libraries can be generated from these fragments. To perform comparative analysis as well as to demonstrate the applicability of the smfATAC-Sew to study changes in chromatin of myonuclei within different contexts, smfATAC-Seq was performed both on uninjured myofibers as well as injured myofibers seven days after induced injury. Furthermore, ATAC-Seq on 5000 muscle stem cells (MuSCs) was also performed according to the previously described OMNI ATAC-Seq protocol (Corces, M.R. et al. Nature Methods, 2017) in order to compare the sequencing quality of the smfATAC-Seq as well as to demonstrate the changes in open chromatin that occur from the stem cell state to the fully differentiated myofibers. smfATAC-seq resulted in comparable coverage and sequencing depth to the ATAC-seq performed on MuSCs and allowed for peak calling and differential peak analysis. These analysis revealed that the open chromatin state of uninjured and injured myofibers after seven days are mostly similar although some regions invovled in immune response remain in an open state in the injured myofibers compared to the uninjured myofibers and the regions involved in structural formation of the muscle are more accessible in the case of regeneration. Even though certain differences in the open chromatin are observed, smfATAC-Seq analysis suggest that overall, the open chromatin state of the myonuclei returns back to homeostasis after seven days of regeneration. Furthermore, smfATAC-Seq comparison with the ATAC-Seq from MuSCs show the differences in open chromatin regions between these conditions. Increased accessibility of genes involved in myogenesis and structural components can be observed in the myofibers compared to MuSCs while MuSCs show increased accessibility in regions involved in membrane permeability and signalling pathways. In addition, the regions that are accessible for both conditions include genes involved in mitochondrial transport, regulation of transcription and regulation of metabolites and energy. Overall, this study introduces smfATAC-Seq that succesfully assesses the genome-wide chromatin accessibility of a single myofiber with relatively high sequencing depth. The smfATAC-Seq can be used to perform comparative analysis between different conditions such as injury. However, this method can be readily applied to study differences between young and old myofibers or in the context of muscular dystrophy, cachexia, and exercise.

Project description:The maintenance of cell lineage and cell fate are essential for the function of adult stem cells. Despite this, the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate muscle stem cell (MuSC) identity are not well understood. In this study, we performed Cut&Tag of the activating histone marks H3K4me3 and H3K27ac on freshly isolated quiescent MuSCs and found that a large number of genes without transcription still maintained the permissive mark H3K4me3 but lacked the marker of active enhancers, H3K27ac. These genes included those that are essential for non-myogenic lineage determination. We found that many of the genes that were not transcribed but enriched for H3K4me3, were also enriched for the RE-1 binding motif, the motif recognized by the repressive transcription factor REST. Using a genetic mouse model where REST is conditionally knocked out of MuSCs, we further investigated the role of REST in the maintenance of quiescent MuSC cell identity. Investigation of the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility of WT and REST deficient MuSCs determined that the loss of REST results in the gain of expression of key genes of several non-myogenic tissues, particularly neuronal genes. Additionally, the loss of REST led to the dramatic reduction of the MuSC pool and the induction of muscle atrophy. The unstable cell identity caused by the genetic deletion of REST results in the MuSCs undergoing apoptosis and is the main driver of the observed loss of the MuSC pool. Together, the data presented in this study establishes a novel function of the transcription factor REST, where it safeguards the identity and myogenic lineage of MuSCs, through the repression of alternative lineages.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle crucially depends on motor innervation, and, when damaged, on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, the role and function of MuSCs in the context of denervation remains poorly understood. Methods: Alterations of MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation were investigated in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry for the analysis of intrinsic changes after denervation and in vivo assays, such as Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury or MuSC transplantation, were performed to assess MuSC functions after denervation. Bioinformatic and histological analyses were conducted to further examine MuSCs and their myofiber niche after denervation. Results: Muscle cross section analysis revealed a significant increase in Pax7 (p-value= 0.0441), Pax7/Ki67 (p-value= 0.0023), MyoD (p-value= 0.0016) and Myog (p-value= 0.0057) positive cells after denervation, illustrating a break of quiescence and commitment to the myogenic lineage. An Omics approach showed profound intrinsic alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level of MuSCs 21 days after denervation. Skeletal muscle injury together with denervation surgery caused deregulated regeneration, indicated by the reduced number of proliferating MuSCs and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers), at 21 days post-surgery. In a transplantation assay, MuSCs from a denervated host were still able to engraft and fuse to form new myofibers, irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient muscle. Analysis of myofibers revealed not only massive changes in the expression profile (10492 differentially expressed genes, p-value <0.05) after denervation, but it was also shown that secretion of Opn and Tgfb1 from denervated myofibers was increased 30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively. Bioinformatic analyses indicated strong upregulation of gene expression of the transcription factor Junb in MuSCs from denervated muscles (log2 fold change = 3.27). Of interest, Tgfb1 recombinant protein was able to induce Junb gene expression in vitro, demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands can induce gene expression changes in MuSCs, which might result in the phenotypes observed after denervation. Conclusion: Skeletal muscle denervation is altering myofiber secretion, causing MuSC activation and profound intrinsic changes, leading to reduced regenerative capacity. As MuSCs possess a remarkable regenerative potential, they might represent a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle function crucially depends on motor innervation and after injury on the resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, it is poorly understood how innervation affects MuSC properties. Methods: We investigated the alterations of MuSCs and their immediate niche, the myofiber, after denervation in a surgery-based mouse model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection. FACS-isolated MuSCs were subjected to transcriptomics and proteomics analyses to investigate which changes occur after denervation. We performed Cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury, MuSC transplantation and floating myofiber cultures to assess MuSC functionality after denervation in addition to bioinformatics and histological analyses. Results: We observed a significant increase in the number of MuSCs (Pax7 positive; p-value= 0.0441), proliferating MuSCs (Pax7/Ki67 positive; p-value= 0.0023), activated MuSCs (MyoD positive; p-value= 0.0016) and differentiating MuSCs (Myog positive; p-value= 0.0057) after denervation. This aberrant activation and premature commitment of MuSCs to the myogenic lineage was accompanied by profound alterations on the mRNA (2613 differentially expressed genes, adj. p-value <0.05) and protein (1096 differentially abundant proteins, q-value <0.05) level after denervation. MuSCs from denervated hosts still engrafted and fused to form new myofibers irrespective of the innervation status of the recipient, suggesting the MuSC niche is driving alterations in MuSCs after denervation. The myofiber transcriptome after denervation showed massive changes in the general expression profile (10492 DEGs, p-value <0.05) and in several predicted secreted factors. Incubation of myofiber-associated MuSCs with supernatant from denervated myofibers increased cluster formation, reinforcing myofibers as a source of secreted factors driving MuSC alterations after denervation. Opn and Tgfb1 showed an increased secretion by denervated myofibers (30-fold and 6000-fold, respectively), and incubation with Tgfb1 alone induced Junb expression in myogenic cells, one of the genes highly upregulated in MuSCs after denervation (p-value= 1.85e-18, log2fc= 3.27), demonstrating that myofiber-secreted ligands influence MuSC gene expression. A combination of skeletal muscle injury and denervation led to reduced numbers of proliferating MuSCs (Sham: 47 vs DEN: 19.75 cells per cross section 10 days post-injury) and sustained high levels of developmental myosin heavy chain (Sham: 1 % vs DEN: 40 % of all myofibers 21 days post-injury), indicating hampered MuSC functionality due to changes in the microenvironment. Conclusion: Denervation of skeletal muscle causes alterations in myofiber secretion, leading to activation and profound changes of MuSCs, ultimately resulting in a reduced regenerative capacity. As these alterations are partially reversible, MuSCs are a promising target for novel treatment options for neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve injuries.
