Project description:49 human patient mRNA profiles was generated using HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays. Procesed in Affymetrix Expression console using Plier normalization method and later processed in Partek Genomics Suite. The clustering figure was generated using HCE clustering software. We sought to determine the mechanisms underlying failure of muscle regeneration that is observed in dystrophic muscle through hypothesis generation using muscle profiling data (human dystrophy and murine regeneration). We found that transforming growth factor β-centered networks strongly associated with pathological fibrosis and failed regeneration were also induced during normal regeneration but at distinct time points. We hypothesized that asynchronously regenerating microenvironments are an underlying driver of fibrosis and failed regeneration. We validated this hypothesis using an experimental model of focal asynchronous bouts of muscle regeneration in wild-type (WT) mice. A chronic inflammatory state and reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity are observed in bouts separated by 4 d, whereas a chronic profibrotic state was seen in bouts separated by 10 d. Treatment of asynchronously remodeling WT muscle with either prednisone or VBP15 mitigated the molecular phenotype. Our asynchronous regeneration model for pathological fibrosis and muscle wasting in the muscular dystrophies is likely generalizable to tissue failure in chronic inflammatory states in other regenerative tissues.

Project description:Large animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are indispensible for preclinical evaluation of novel diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies. To evaluate functional consequences of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in skeletal muscle and myocardium, we used a new genetically engineered dystrophin KO pig model displaying hallmarks of human DMD. Heart and skeletal muscle tissue samples of DMD pigs and wild-type (WT) controls at three different ages were analyzed by label-free proteomics.

Project description:Three subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (8.3, 10.4, and 16.7 years old) were studied. Baseline studies included stable isotope infusion followed by gastrocnemius muscle biopsy to determine myosin heavy chain synthesis rates. RNA was isolated from the muscle biopsy as well. The subjects were then treated for 3 months with oxandrolone (a synthetic anabolic steroid, 0.1 mg/kg/day) and the studies repeated.

Project description:Skeletal muscle wasting results from numerous pathological conditions impacting both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. A unifying feature of these pathologies is the upregulation of members of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, resulting in increased proteolytic degradation of target proteins. Despite the critical role E3 ubiquitin ligases in regulating muscle mass, the specific proteins they target for degradation and the mechanisms by which they regulate skeletal muscle homeostasis remain ill-defined. Here, using zebrafish loss of function models combined with in vivo cell biology and proteomic approaches, we identified the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, BiP, as a novel target of the E3 ubiquitin ligase atrogin-1. A loss in atrogin-1 results in an accumulation of BiP, leading to impaired mitochondrial dynamics and a subsequent loss in muscle fibre integrity. We further implicate a disruption in atrogin-1 mediated BiP regulation in the pathogenesis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We reveal that BiP is not only upregulated in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, but its inhibition using pharmacological strategies, or by upregulating atrogin-1, significantly ameliorates pathology in a zebrafish model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Collectively, our data implicates a novel disease axis in the pathogenesis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and highlights atrogin-1’s essential role in maintaining muscle homeostasis.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked monogenic disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD) and characterized by progressive muscle weakness leading to loss of ambulation and significantly decreased life expectancy. Since the current standard of care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy is to merely treat symptoms, there is a dire need for novel treatment modalities that can correct the underlying genetic mutations. While several gene replacement therapies are being explored in clinical trials, one emerging approach that can directly correct mutations in genomic DNA is base editing. We have recently developed CRISPR-SKIP, a base editing strategy to induce permanent exon skipping by introducing C>T or A>G mutations at splice acceptors in genomic DNA, which can be utilized therapeutically to recover dystrophin expression when a genomic deletion leads to an out-of-frame DMD transcript. We now demonstrate that CRISPR-SKIP can be adapted to correct some forms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by disrupting the splice acceptor in human DMD exon 45 with high efficiency, which enables open reading frame recovery and restoration of dystrophin expression. We also demonstrate that AAV-delivered split-intein base editors edit the splice acceptor of DMD exon 45 in cultured human cells and in vivo, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this strategy.

Project description:gene expression data is from RNA extracted from muscle biopsy samples taken from boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or pathologically normal controls (CTRL). Each muscle biospy was examined in detail histologically by Dr. Eric P. Hoffman at Children's National Medical Center to determine stage of disease. In addition, the absence or presence of dystrophin was determined via western blot analyses. We utilized Human U133 2.0 arrays to examine the transcriptome of each muscle, and then we compared differential gene expression between DMD patient muscles and CTRL muscules. We set the FDR p value for significance at 0.05 and at least a 1.5 fold difference in DMD/CTRL compared differential gene exrpression between DMD versus Control

Project description:Eosinophils are implicated in the development of many chronic diseases. However, their function in muscular dystrophy is understudied. Here we demonstrate that muscle hyper-eosinophilia could be a marker of poor outcomes in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
