Regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway during myogenesis by the mammalian SWI/SNF ATPase BRG1.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle differentiation is a tightly regulated process, and the importance of the mammalian SWI/SNF (mSWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling family for regulation of genes involved in skeletal myogenesis is well-established. Our prior work showed that bromodomains of mSWI/SNF ATPases BRG1 and BRM contribute to myogenesis by facilitating the binding of mSWI/SNF enzymes to regulatory regions of myogenic and other target genes. Here, we report that pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes from that study identified an additional role for mSWI/SNF enzymes via the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. The Wnt pathway has been previously shown to be important for skeletal muscle development. To investigate the importance of mSWI/SNF enzymes for the regulation of the Wnt pathway, indi
