Project description:Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive asymmetric muscle weakness. Myoblasts isolated from FSHD muscles exhibit morphological differentiation defects and show a distinct transcription profile. These abnormalities may be linked to the muscle weakness in FSHD patients. Here, we have tested whether fusion of FSHD myoblasts (obtained from 2 patients) with primary myoblasts isolated from 2 healthy individuals could correct the differentiation defects. Our results show that the number of hybrid myotubes with normal phenotype increased with the percentage of normal myoblasts initially cultured. We demonstrated that a minimum of 50% of normal nuclei is required for a phenotypic correction of the FSHD phenotype. To test the correction on the functional level we analyzed transcriptomic profiles of phenotypically corrected hybrid myotubes. These myotubes were cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS. The present study concerns gene expression of FSHD, normal and hybrid myotubes after RNA extraction (TriPrep NucleoSpin ® kit) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Gene expression was performed in single color on Agilent 8x60K Human whole genome (design 039494) minimum in duplicates in each condition. Transcriptomic profiles of phenotypically corrected hybrid myotubes showed that the expression of deregulated genes in FSHD myotubes became almost normal. We thus propose that while phenotypical and functional correction of FSHD is feasible, it requires more than 50% of normal myoblasts, it creates limitations for cell therapy in the FSHD context.

Project description:The specific gene(s) responsible for FSHD phenotype have not yet been identified. We used the Human GeneChip Exon 1.0 ST platform to analyze the global gene expression profiles of FSHD-1, FSHD-2 and controls during myogenic differentiation. In this dataset, we include the expression data of human primary myoblasts obtained from three FSHD-1 and two FSHD-2 patients, and three healthy controls (CN). This data are used to evaluate the molecular perturbation of FSHD upon muscle differentiation; we compared patients and CN proliferating myoblasts as well as the corresponding myotubes obtained after 8 days of cell differentiation. 16 expression profiles were generated from 6 different cell types: including myoblasts and myotubes from healthy donors and FSHD-1 and FSHD-2 patients. Gene probesets with P < 0.01 and FC > 2 were selected in FSHD-1 assay, whereas P < 0.001 and FC > 2 were used in FSHD-2, in the attempt to overcame problems due to the small sample size analyzed.

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by decreased epigenetic repression of the D4Z4 macrosatellite array and recent studies have shown that this results in the expression of low levels of the DUX4 mRNA in skeletal muscle. Several other mechanisms have been suggested for FSHD pathophysiology and it remains unknown whether DUX4 expression can account for most of the molecular changes seen in FSHD. Since DUX4 is a transcription factor, we used RNA-seq to measure gene expression in muscle cells transduced with DUX4, and in muscle cells and biopsies from control and FSHD individuals. We show that DUX4 target gene expression is the major molecular signature in FSHD muscle together with a gene expression signature consistent with an immune cell infiltration. In addition, one unaffected individual without a known FSHD-causing mutation showed expression of DUX4 target genes. This individual has a sibling with FSHD and also without a known FSHD-causing mutation, suggesting the presence of yet unidentified modifier locus for DUX4 expression and FSHD. These findings demonstrate that expression of DUX4 accounts for the majority of the gene expression changes in FSHD skeletal muscle together with an immune cell infiltration.

Project description:Proteomic studies in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) could offer new insight to disease mechanisms underpinned by post-transcriptional processes. We used stable isotope (deuterium oxide; D2O) labelling and peptide mass spectrometry to investigate the abundance and turnover rates of proteins in cultured muscle cells from 2 individuals affected by FSHD and their unaffected siblings (UASb). Cells were treated with or without MOE to silence DUX4

Project description:The gene expression pathways leading to muscle pathology in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) remain to be elucidated. This muscular dystrophy is caused by a contraction of an array of tandem 3.3-kb repeats (D4Z4) at 4q35.2. We compared expression of control and FSHD myoblasts and myotubes (three preparations each) on exon microarrays (Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST) and validated FSHD-specific differences for representative genes by qRT-PCR on additional myoblast cell strains. The FSHD and control myoblasts used for these experiments were shown to grow and differentiate into myotubes equally efficiently as control myoblasts. There were no significant FSHD-control differences in RNA levels for MYOD1 and MYOG at the myoblast and myotube stages and for MYF5 and MYF6 at the myoblast stage. In contrast, 295 other genes were dysregulated at least 2-fold in FSHD vs. control myoblasts (p <0.01, adjusted for multiple comparisons). Remarkably, only 10% of the FSHD-associated gene dysregulation at the myoblast stage was downregulation. At the myotube stage, about ten times as many genes exhibited FSHD-associated downregulated as at the myoblast stage and twice as many genes displayed FSHD-associated upregulation. The FSHD-related changes in RNA levels appear to be due to posttranscriptional as well as transcriptional alterations. Among the prominently dysregulated pathways were signaling and oxidative stress pathways. By comparing expression profiles of control myoblasts and myotubes to each other and to 19 non-muscle cell types profiled identically, our study also revealed many new myogenesis associations for genes not previously annotated as muscle-specific.
