Chromatin and transcriptome changes in human myoblasts show spatio-temporal correlations and demonstrate DPP4 inhibition in differentiated myotubes.

ABSTRACT: Although less attention was paid to understanding physical localization changes in cell nuclei recently, depicting chromatin interaction maps is a topic of high interest. Here, we focused on defining extensive physical changes in chromatin organization in the process of skeletal myoblast differentiation. Based on RNA profiling data and 3D imaging of myogenic (NCAM1, DES, MYOG, ACTN3, MYF5, MYF6, ACTN2, and MYH2) and other selected genes (HPRT1, CDH15, DPP4 and VCAM1), we observed correlations between the following: (1) expression change and localization, (2) a gene and its genomic neighbourhood expression and (3) intra-chromosome and microscopical locus-centromere distances. In particular, we demonstrated the negative regulation of DPP4 mRNA (p < 0.001) and protein (p < 0.05) in differenti
