Project description:Background: Similar to replicating myoblasts, many rhabdomyosarcoma cells express the myogenic determination gene MyoD. In contrast to myoblasts, rhabdomyosarcoma cells do not make the transition from a regulative growth phase to terminal differentiation. Previously we demonstrated that the forced expression of MyoD with its E-protein dimerization partner was sufficient to induce differentiation and suppress multiple growth-promoting genes, suggesting that the dimer was targeting a switch that regulated the transition from growth to differentiation. Our data also suggested that a balance existed between various inhibitory transcription factors and MyoD activity that kept rhabdomyosarcomas trapped in a proliferative state. Methods: Potential myogenic co-factors identified by analysis of high-throughput sequencing of chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments in normal myogenic cells were tested for their ability to drive differentiation in rhabdomyosarcoma cell culture models, and their relation to MyoD activity determined through molecular biological experiments. Results: Modulation of the transcription factors RUNX1 and ZNF238, factors with poorly delineated roles in myogenic development, can induce differentiation in rhabdomyosarcoma cells and their activity is integrated, at least in part, through the activation of miR-206, which acts as a genetic switch to transition the cell from a proliferative growth phase to differentiation. The inhibitory transcription factor MSC also plays a role in controlling miR-206, appearing to function by occluding a binding site for MyoD in the miR-206 promoter. Conclusions: These findings suggest that nested feed-forward circuits that proceed from MyoD, to RUNX1, to ZNF238, and finally to miR-206 function in both rhabdomyosarcomas as well as normal myogenesis to control the decision point of proliferation versus differentiation. Total RNA samples were collected from human RD cells transduced with lentivirus carrying RUNX1, RP58 (ZNF238), miR-206 or GFP (three biological replicates each) and allowed to differentiate for 72 hours.

Two biologically independent sets of RD cells were transduced with either MD~E or empty vector pCLBabe retroviruses. After RNA extraction pairs of samples (MD~E versus pCLBabe) were hybridized to arrays, incorporating both dye-swap and technical replicates (i.e. 1 comparison x 2 dye-swaps x 2 biological replicates x 2 technical replicates = 8 arrays)

Project description:In response to skeletal muscle injury, adult myogenic stem cells, known as satellite cells, are activated and undergo proliferation and differentiation to regenerate new muscle fibers. The skeletal muscle-specific microRNA, miR-206, is up-regulated in satellite cells following muscle injury, but its role in muscle regeneration has not been defined. Here we show that skeletal muscle regeneration in response to cardiotoxin injury is impaired in mice lacking miR-206. Loss of miR-206 also accelerates and exacerbates the dystrophic phenotype of mdx mice, a model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. MiR-206 promotes satellite cell differentiation and fusion to form multinucleated myofibers by suppressing a collection of negative regulators of myogenesis. Our findings reveal an essential role for miR-206 in satellite cell differentiation during skeletal muscle regeneration and as a modulator of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. total RNA obtained from TA muscle of mdx and 3 miR-206 KO; mdx mice at 3 months of age.
Project description:In this study, gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fast muscle myoblasts were stimulated with two pro-growth treatments, amino acids (AA) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf-1), to analyze the transcriptional response of genes, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their regulatory network. AA had a higher impact on gene transcription (1795 genes significantly changed) compared to Igf-1 (385 genes significantly changed). Both treatments stim-ulated the transcription of genes related to muscle differentiation (GO:0042692) and sarcomere components (GO:0030017), but AA stimulated more the DNA replication and cell division (GO:0007049). Notably, four miRNAs (miR-21, miR-146, miR-22b and miR-206) dominated the landscape among 403 expressed miRNAs. Both pro-growth treatments altered the transcription of over 100 miRNAs, including muscle-specific miRNAs (myomiRs) such as miR-133a/b, miR-206, miR-499, miR-1, and miR 27a. Among 111 detected lncRNAs (> 1 FPKM), only 30 were significantly changed by AA and 11 by Igf-1. Eight lncRNAs exhibited strong negative correlations with several mRNAs, suggesting direct regulation; while 30 lncRNAs showed strong correlations and interac-tions with several miRNAs, suggesting their function as miRNA’s sponges. This work is the first step in the identification of ncRNAs network controlling muscle development and growth in gilthead sea bream, pointing out potential regulatory mechanisms in response to pro-growth signals.
