Project description:Satellite cells (SCs) are adult muscle stem cells residing in a specialised niche that regulates SC homeostasis. How niche-generated signals integrate to regulate gene expression in SC-derived myoblasts, is poorly understood. We undertook an unbiased approach to study the effect of the SC niche on SC-derived myoblast transcriptional regulation and identified the tumour suppressor p53 as a key player in the regulation of myoblast quiescence. After activation and proliferation, a subpopulation of myoblasts cultured in the presence of the niche upregulates p53 and fails to differentiate. When SC self-renewal is modelled ex vivo in a reserve cell assay, myoblasts treated with Nutlin-3, which increases p53 levels in the cell, fail to differentiate and instead become quiescent. Since both these effects of Nutlin-3 are rescued by siRNA-mediated p53 knockdown we conclude that a tight control of p53 levels in myoblasts regulate the balance between differentiation and return to quiescence.

Project description:How satellite cells and their progenitors balance differentiation and self-renewal to achieve sustainable tissue regeneration is not well understood. A major roadblock to understanding satellite cell fate decisions has been the difficulty to study this process in vivo. By visualizing expression dynamics of myogenic transcription factors during early regeneration in vivo, we identified the time point at which cells undergo decisions to differentiate or self-renew. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed heterogeneity of satellite cells during both muscle homeostasis and regeneration, including a subpopulation enriched in Notch2 receptor expression. Furthermore, we reveal that differentiating cells express the Dll1 ligand. Using antagonistic antibodies we demonstrate that the DLL1 and NOTCH2 signaling pair is required for satellite cell self-renewal. Thus, differentiating cells provide the self-renewing signal during regeneration, enabling proportional regeneration in response to injury while maintaining the satellite cell pool. These findings have implications for therapeutic control of muscle regeneration.

Project description:Acute skeletal muscle injury is followed by satellite cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation to replace damaged fibers with newly regenerated muscle fibers, processes that involve satellite cell interactions with various niche signals. Here we show that satellite cell specific deletion of the chemokine receptor CXCR4, followed by suppression of recombination escapers, leads to defects in regeneration and satellite cell pool repopulation in both the transplantation and in situ injury contexts. Mechanistically, we show that endothelial cells and FAPs are the major source of the ligand, Sdf1α, and that CXCR4 is principally required for proper activation and for transit through the first cell division, and to a lesser extent the later cell divisions. In the absence of CXCR4, gene expression in quiescent satellite cells is not severely disrupted, but in activated satellite cells a subset of genes normally induced by activation fail to upregulate normally. These data demonstrate that CXCR4 signaling is essential to normal early activation, proliferation, and self-renewal of satellite cells.

Project description:Microenvironmental oxygen (O(2)) regulates stem cell activity, and a hypoxic niche with low oxygen levels has been reported in multiple stem cell types. Satellite cells are muscle-resident stem cells that maintain the homeostasis and mediate the regeneration of skeletal muscles. We demonstrate here that hypoxic culture conditions favor the quiescence of satellite cell-derived primary myoblasts by upregulating Pax7, a key regulator of satellite cell self-renewal, and downregulating MyoD and myogenin. During myoblast division, hypoxia promotes asymmetric self-renewal divisions and inhibits asymmetric differentiation divisions without affecting the overall rate of proliferation. Mechanistic studies reveal that hypoxia activates the Notch signaling pathway, which subsequently represses the expression of miR-1 and miR-206 through canonical Hes/Hey proteins, leading to increased levels of Pax7. More importantly, hypoxia conditioning enhances the efficiency of myoblast transplantation and the self-renewal of implanted cells. Given the robust effects of hypoxia on maintaining the quiescence and promoting the self-renewal of cultured myoblasts, we predict that oxygen levels in the satellite cell niche play a central role in precisely balancing quiescence versus activation, and self-renewal versus differentiation, in muscle stem cells in vivo.

Project description:One of the most striking epigenetic alterations that occurs at the level of the nucleosome is the complete exchange of the canonical H2A histones for the macroH2A variant. Here, we provide insight in the function of this unique histone variant in embryonic and adult stem cells. Knockdown of macroH2A1 in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells limited their capacity to differentiate but not their self-renewal. The loss of macroH2A1 interfered with the proper activation of differentiation genes, most of which are direct target genes of macroH2A. Additionally, macroH2A1-deficient mES cells displayed incomplete inactivation of pluripotency genes and formed defective embryoid bodies. In vivo, macroH2A1-deficient teratomas contained a massive expansion of malignant, undifferentiated carcinoma tissue. In the heterogeneous culture of primary human keratinocytes, macroH2A1 levels negatively correlated with the self-renewal capacity of the pluripotent compartment. Together these results establish macroH2A1 as a critical chromatin component that regulates the delicate balance between self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic and adult stem cells.

Project description:Successful skeletal muscle regeneration is primarily mediated by muscle stem cells or satellite cells which express Pax7. In homeostasis, these satellite cells exist in a ‘genuine quiescent’ state, although some satellite cells may also be primed. After an acute injury, satellite cells, enabled by several other niche cells in the muscle tissue, undergo a series of molecular and cellular changes such as activation, proliferation, and differentiation. These processes culminate in the generation of nascent muscle fibers or the restoration of worn-out muscle fibers, leading to the restoration of muscle function. To prevent the depletion of the quiescent satellite cell pool, some satellite cells must resist the ambient differentiation signals and undergo the self-renewal process. While the differentiation process has been well characterized, little is known about the mechanism of satellite cell self-renewal. Furthermore, the molecular identity of self-renewing satellite cells remains unknown. To fill this gap, we utilize single nuclei ATACseq with high temporal resolution to characterize the temporal dynamics of chromatin accessibility in satellite cells and other muscle niche cells during muscle regeneration. This enables us to identify for the first time the self-renewing trajectory undertaken by satellite cells for their long-term repopulation. We also validated these findings using single-cell RNAseq and other protein-level assays. We also utilize gene perturbation to show that SMAD4, a co-SMAD regulating the TGF-beta pathway regulates the cfate choice of self-renewal versus differentiation.

Project description:Skeletal muscle aging results in a gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass, skeletal muscle function and decreased regenerative capacity, which can lead to sarcopenia and increased mortality. While the mechanisms underlying sarcopenia remain unclear, the skeletal muscle stem cell, or satellite cell, is required for muscle regeneration. Therefore, identification of signaling pathways affecting satellite cell function during aging may provide insights into therapeutic targets for combating sarcopenia. Here, we show that a cell-autonomous loss in self-renewal occurs via novel alterations in FGF and p38αβ MAPK signaling in old satellite cells. We further demonstrate that pharmacological manipulation of these pathways can ameliorate age-associated self-renewal defects. Thus, our data highlight an age-associated deregulation of a satellite cell homeostatic network and reveals potential therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of progressive muscle wasting. Satellite cells were isolated from young (3-6mo) and aged (20-25mo) adult mice; individual date files represent 2 independent pools of RNA from 4-8 mice at each timepoint.

Project description:The regeneration of skeletal muscle relies on satellite cells which can proliferate, differentiate and form new myofibers upon injury. Emerging evidence suggests that misregulations of satellite cell fate and function influence the severity of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The myogenic identity and maintenance of the pool of satellite cells is determined by the transcription factor PAX7. Satellite cell proliferation and self-renewal is regulated by the circadian clock. Here, we show that the CLOCK-interacting protein, Circadian (CIPC), a negative-feedback regulator of the circadian clock, is up-regulated during myoblast differentiation. Specific deletion of CIPC in satellite cells alleviated myopathy, improved muscle function and reduced fibrosis in mdx mice. CIPC deficiency led to activation of the ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 signaling pathways, which in turn activated the transcription factor SP1 to trigger the transcription of PAX7. Therefore, CIPC is a negative regulator of satellite cell function and loss of CIPC in satellite cells promotes muscle regeneration.

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin signaling is a primary pathway for stem cell maintenance during tissue renewal and a frequent target for mutations in cancer. Impaired Wnt receptor endocytosis due to loss of the ubiquitin ligase RNF43 gives rise to Wnt-hypersensitive tumors that are susceptible to anti-Wnt-based therapy. Contrary to this paradigm, we identify a class of RNF43 truncating cancer mutations that induce b-catenin-mediated transcription, despite exhibiting retained Wnt receptor downregulation. These mutations interfere with an ubiquitin-independent suppressor role of the RNF43 cytosolic tail that involves casein kinase-1 (CK1) binding and phosphorylation. Mechanistically, truncated RNF43 variants trap CK1 at the plasma membrane, thereby preventing b-catenin turnover and propelling ligandindependent target gene transcription. Gene editing of human colon stem cells shows that RNF43 truncations cooperate with p53 loss to drive a niche-independent program for self-renewal and proliferation. Moreover, these RNF43 variants confer decreased sensitivity to anti-Wnt-based therapy. Our data demonstrate the relevance of studying patient-derived mutations for understanding disease mechanisms and improved applications of precision medicine.
