CHD4 and the NuRD complex directly control cardiac sarcomere formation

ABSTRACT: Cardiac development relies on proper cardiomyocyte differentiation including expression and assembly of cell-type specific actomyosin subunits into a functional cardiac sarcomere. Control of this process involves not only promoting expression of cardiac sarcomere subunits but also repressing expression of non-cardiac myofibril paralogs. This level of transcriptional control requires broadly expressed multiprotein machines that modify and remodel the chromatin landscape to restrict transcription machinery access. Prominent among these is the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex, which includes the catalytic core subunit CHD4. Here, we demonstrate that direct CHD4-mediated repression of skeletal and smooth muscle myofibril isoforms is required for normal cardiac sarcomere formation, function, and embryonic survival early in gestation. Through transcriptomic and system genome-wide analyses of CHD4 localization, we identified novel CHD4 binding sites in smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, fast skeletal α-actin, and the fast skeletal troponin complex genes. We further demonstrate that in the absence of CHD4, cardiomyocytes in the developing heart form a hybrid muscle cell that contains cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle myofibril components. These misexpressed paralogs intercalate into the nascent cardiac sarcomere to disrupt sarcomere formation and cause impaired cardiac function in utero. These results demonstrate the genomic and physiological requirements for CHD4 in mammalian cardiac development.

Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C regulates fast skeletal muscle contraction

Project description:Myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) is a thick filament regulatory protein found exclusively in the C-zone of the A band in the sarcomeres of vertebrate striated muscle. Cardiac, slow skeletal and fast skeletal MyBP-C (fMyBP-C) paralogs perform different functions. However, the functional role of fMyBP-C in fast skeletal muscle is completely unknown. Genetic mutations in human fMyBP-C lead to skeletal myopathies. All three isoforms share similar protein structures, but likely differ substantially in terms of expression and function, which may serve the distinct physiologies of fast and slow muscle fibers. In the present study, we developed a novel fMyBP-C global knockout (KO) mouse model (C2-/-) to investigate the structural, functional, molecular, cellular and physiological roles of fMyBP-C in skeletal muscle.

Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C regulates fast skeletal muscle contraction

Project description:Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C (fMyBP-C) is one of three MyBP-C paralogs and is predominantly expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Mutations in the gene that encodes fMyBP-C, MYBPC2, is associated with distal arthrogryposis, while fMyBP-C protein is reduced in diseased muscle. However, the functional and structural roles of fMyBP-C in skeletal muscle remain unclear. To address this gap, we generated a homozygous fMyBP-C knockout mouse (C2-/-) and characterized it, both in vivo and in vitro. Ablation of fMyBP-C was benign in terms of muscle weight, fiber type, cross-sectional area, and sarcomere ultrastructure. However, grip strength and plantar-flexor muscle strength were significantly decreased in C2-/- compared to WT. Peak isometric tetanic force (Po) and isotonic speed of contraction were significantly reduced in isolated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) from C2-/- mice. In EDL muscles of C2-/- mice, small-angle X-ray diffraction revealed significant increase in equatorial intensity ratio (I1.1/I1.0) during contraction, indicating a greater degree of myosin head shift towards actin while MLL4 layer-line intensity was decreased at rest, indicating less ordered myosin heads at rest. Interfilament lattice spacing was also significantly increased in C2-/- EDL muscle compared to WT. Consistent with these findings, we observed a significant reduction of steady-state isometric force during Ca2+ activations, myofilament calcium sensitivity, sinusoidal stiffness in skinned EDL muscle fibers from C2-/- mice. Finally, C2-/- muscles displayed disruption of inflammatory and regenerative genes and increased muscle damage upon mechanical overload. Together, our data suggest that fMyBP-C is essential for maximal speed and force of contraction, sarcomere integrity, and calcium sensitivity in fast twitch muscle.

Ectopic expression of Ino80 complex subunit Actr5 in mouse heart

Project description:Actr5 is one of the subunits of the ATPase-dependent chromatin remodeling complex INO80. In muscle tissues such as skeletal muscle, heart, and aorta, the expression of Actr5 is much lower than that in non-muscle tissues. During skeletal and smooth muscle development, it interacts with transcription factors such as MyoD, MyoG, SRF, and myocardin to play a repressive role in muscle differentiation, but its physiological role in cardiac development is not entirely clear. To investigate the role of Actr5 in the heart, AAV6 expression vectors containing Actr5 gene were infected into mice, and total RNA were extracted from the heart, followed by DNA microarray analysis.

Single muscle fiber proteomics reveals fiber type-specific features of human muscle aging

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a key tissue in human aging, which affects different muscle fiber types unequally. We developed a highly sensitive single muscle fiber proteomics workflow to study human aging and show that the senescence of slow and fast muscle fibers is characterized by diverging metabolic and protein quality control adaptations. Whereas mitochondrial content declines with aging in both fiber types, glycolysis and glycogen metabolism are upregulated in slow but downregulated in fast muscle fibers. Aging mitochondria decrease expression of the redox enzyme monoamine oxidase A. Slow fibers upregulate a subset of actin and myosin chaperones, whereas an opposite change happens in fast fibers. These changes in metabolism and sarcomere quality control may be related to the ability of slow, but not fast, muscle fibers to maintain their mass during aging. We conclude that single muscle fiber analysis by proteomics can elucidate pathophysiology in a sub-type specific manner.

The RNA binding protein Arrest (Aret) regulates myofibril maturation in Drosophila flight muscle

Project description:In Drosophila, fibrillar flight muscles (IFMs) enable flight, while tubular muscles mediate other body movements. Here, we use RNA-sequencing and isoform-specific reporters to show that spalt major (salm) determines fibrillar muscle physiology by regulating transcription and alternative splicing of a large set of sarcomeric proteins. We identify the RNA binding protein Arrest (Aret, Bruno) as downstream of salm. Aret shuttles between cytoplasm and nuclei, and is essential for myofibril maturation and sarcomere growth of IFMs. Molecularly, Aret regulates IFM-specific transcription and splicing of various sarcomeric targets, including Stretchin and wupA (TnI), and thus maintains muscle fiber integrity. As Aret and its sarcomeric targets are evolutionarily conserved, similar principles may regulate mammalian muscle morphogenesis. 9 samples from Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed in duplicate: control dissected wildtype flight muscle at 30h APF, 72h APF and 0 day adult, jump muscle and whole leg from 1d adult and RNAi/mutant conditions for salm (1d flight muscle) and aret (30h, 72h and 1d flight muscle)

Calsequestrins in skeletal and cardiac muscle from adult Danio rerio.

Project description:All vertebrates have multiple genes encoding for different CASQ isoforms. Increasing interest has been focused on mammalian and human CASQ genes since mutations of both cardiac (CASQ2) and skeletal (CASQ1) isoforms cause different, and sometime severe, human pathologies Danio rerio (zebrafish) is a powerful model for studying function and mutations of human proteins. In this work expression, biochemical properties and cellular and sub-cellular localization of Danio rerio native CASQ isoforms are investigated. By quantitative PCR three mRNAs were detected in skeletal muscle and one mRNA in heart. Three zebrafish CASQs were identified by mass spectrometry and they share properties with mammalian skeletal and cardiac CASQs. Skeletal calsequestrins were found primarily, but not exclusively, at the sarcomere Z-line level where Terminal Cisternae of Sarcoplasmic reticulum are located.

Systematic transcriptomics reveals a biphasic mode of sarcomere morphogenesis in flight muscles regulated by Spalt

Project description:Muscles organise a pseudo-crystalline array of actin, myosin and titin filaments to build force-producing sarcomeres. To study how sarcomeres are built, we performed mRNA-sequencing of developing Drosophila flight muscles and identified 40 distinct expression profile clusters. Strikingly, two clusters are strongly enriched for sarcomeric components. Temporal gene expression together with detailed morphological analysis enabled us to define two distinct phases of sarcomere development, both of which require the transcriptional regulator Spalt major. During the first sarcomere formation phase, 2.0 µm long immature sarcomeres assemble myofibrils that spontaneously contract. In the second sarcomere maturation phase, sarcomeres grow to their final 3.2 µm length and 1.5 µm diameter and acquire stretch-sensitivity. Interestingly, the final number of myofibrils per flight muscle fiber is determined at the onset of the first phase and remains constant. Together, this defines a biphasic mode of sarcomere and myofibril morphogenesis – a new concept which may also apply to vertebrate muscle or heart development.

Chronic Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activity Causes Adverse Muscle Affect: Implications for Smoking-induced Muscle Impairment

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to analyze the gene expression levels by RNA sequencing from the plantaris muscle of mice exposed to normal air or tobacco smoke for 16 weeks. Methods: Plantaris muscles were removed, flash frozen, and RNA was harvested using the RNeasy Tissue Mini Kit (Qiagen), according to manufacturer’s instructions. RNA was reverse transcribed to complementary DNA (Lexogen QuantSeq 3′ FWD), and sequenced on a HiSeq 4000 instrument (Illumina). Results: Gene clusters representing neurogenesis/axon development, neuronal projection/synapse, and myofibril/sarcomere/muscle differentiation were amongst the most affected by chronic tobacco smoke exposure. In addition, mitochondrial network genes and neuromuscular genes were down-regulated in smoke-exposed mice. Conclusions: Chronic tobacco smoke exposure in mice reprograms the skeletal muscle transcriptome, with a reduction in mitochondrial and neuromuscular junction genes being consistent with mitochondrial respiratory impairment and neuromuscular junction degeneration observed at whole tissue level.

Project description:Myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) play a central role in the regulation of actin expression and cytoskeletal dynamics. Stimuli that promote actin polymerization allow for shuttling of MRTFs to the nucleus where they activate serum response factor (SRF), a regulator of actin and other cytoskeletal protein genes. SRF is an essential regulator of skeletal muscle differentiation and numerous components of the muscle sarcomere, but the potential involvement of MRTFs in skeletal muscle development has not been examined. We explored the role of MRTFs in muscle development in vivo by generating mutant mice harboring a skeletal muscle-specific deletion of MRTF-B and a global deletion of MRTF-A. These double knockout (dKO) mice were able to form sarcomeres during embryogenesis. However, the sarcomeres were abnormally small and disorganized, causing skeletal muscle hypoplasia and perinatal lethality. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated dramatic dysregulation of actin genes in MRTF dKO mice, highlighting the importance of MRTFs in actin cycling and myofibrillogenesis. MRTFs were also necessary for the survival of skeletal myoblasts and for the efficient formation of intact myotubes. Our findings reveal a central role for MRTFs in sarcomere formation during skeletal muscle development and point to the potential involvement of these transcriptional coactivators in skeletal myopathies. Gene expression profile was generated comparing wild type (WT) and HSA-Cre, MRTF-A/B double knockout mice, by deep seqencing, with three biological replicates, using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
