Single-nucleus transcriptomic analysis reveals the regulatory circuitry of myofiber XBP1 during regenerative myogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated in skeletal muscle under multiple conditions. However, the role of the UPR in the regulation of muscle regeneration remains less understood. We demonstrate that gene expression of various markers of the UPR is induced in both myogenic and non-myogenic cells in regenerating muscle. Genetic ablation of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), a downstream target of the Inositol requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) arm of the UPR, in myofibers attenuates muscle regeneration in adult mice. Single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) analysis showed that deletion of XBP1 in myofibers perturbs proteolytic systems and mitochondrial function in myogenic cells. Trajectory analysis of snRNA-seq dataset showed that XBP1 regulates the
