Project description:Genetic Modifiers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

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: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: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:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disease that leads to progressive muscle weekness and loss of mobility. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the major cause of death however the pathogenesis remains unclear. This is partly due to the limited accessiblity to human samples, the intrinsic limitations of 2D cell cultures and animal models that do not fully recapitulate human disease phenotypes. We aim at developing patient-derived human 3D cardiac models with DMD-relevances to aid disease modeling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine.

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.

Project description:This study applies targeted Cas9-based gene insertion strategies for the correction of full-length dystrophin in a pre-clinical humanized mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Following intramuscular or intravenous delivery, full-length dystrophin is restored in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

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:Rationale – Absence of the dystrophin gene in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results in the degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Owing to advances in respiratory medicine, cardiomyopathy has become a significant aspect of the disease. While CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology holds great potential as a novel therapeutic avenue for DMD, little is known about the efficacy of correction of DMD using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in mitigating the cardiomyopathy phenotype in DMD. Objective – To define the effects of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing on structural, functional and transcriptional dysregulation in DMD-associated cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results – We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with a deletion of exon 44 of the DMD gene (ΔEx44) and his healthy brother. Here, we targeted exon 45 of the DMD gene by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate corrected DMD (cDMD) iPSC lines, wherein the DMD open reading frame was restored via reframing (RF) or exon skipping (ES). While DMD cardiomyocytes (CMs) demonstrated morphologic, structural and functional deficits compared to control CMs, CMs from both cDMD lines were similar to control CMs. Bulk RNA-sequencing of DMD CMs showed transcriptional dysregulation consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy, which was mitigated in cDMD CMs. We then corrected DMD CMs by adenoviral delivery of Cas9/gRNA and showed that postnatal correction of DMD CMs reduces their arrhythmogenic potential. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of hearts showed reduced transcriptional dysregulation in CMs and fibroblasts in corrected mice compared with DMD mice, consistent with reduced histopathologic changes. Conclusions – We show that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated correction of DMD ΔEx44 mitigates structural, functional and transcriptional dysregulation consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy irrespective of how the protein reading frame is restored. We show that these effects extend to postnatal editing in iPSC-CMs and mice. These findings provide key insights into the utility of genome editing as a novel therapeutic for DMD-associated cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Muscle wasting in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is caused by myofiber fragility and poor regeneration that leads to chronic inflammation and muscle replacement by fibrofatty tissue. Our recent findings demonstrated that Resolvins, a class bioactive lipids derived from omega-3 fatty acids, have the capacity to dampen inflammation and stimulate muscle regeneration to alleviate disease progression. This therapeutic avenue has many advantages compared to glucocorticoids, the current gold-standard treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. However, the use of bioactive lipids as therapeutic drugs also faces many technical challenges such as their short-half life. Here, we explored the potential of synthetic agonist of bioactive lipid receptor, namely the Gpr18 agonist PSB-KD107, as a therapeutic alternative for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We showed that PSB-KD107 can stimulate the myogenic capacity of human iPSC-derived myoblasts in vitro. RNAseq analysis revealed an enrichment in biological processes related to lipid metabolism, small molecule biosynthesis, and steroid-related processes in PSB-KD107-treated cells, as well as pathways related to fatty acid signaling such as Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, AMP-activated protein kinase, and sphingolipid signaling pathways. In vivo, the treatment of dystrophic mdx mice with PSB-KD107 resulted in reduced inflammation, enhanced myogenesis, and improved muscle function compared to vehicle-treated mice. Overall, our findings identified a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
