Tenogenic induction from induced pluripotent stem cells unveils the trajectory towards tenocyte differentiation.

ABSTRACT: The musculoskeletal system is integrated by tendons that are characterized by expression of a functionally important transcription factor Scleraxis (Scx). To date, there has been no solid culture system for tenogenic differentiation. Here we developed the tenocyte induction method using induced pluripotent stem cells established from ScxGFP transgenic mice by monitoring fluorescence that reflects a series of dynamic differentiation process. Among several developmentally relevant factors, TGF-2 was the most potent inducer for differentiation of tenocytes expressing Tenomodulin, a mature differentiation marker. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed 11 distinct clusters including mature tenocyte population and tenogenic differentiation trajectory, which well recapitulates in vivo developmental process. Dataset of scRNA-seq and transcriptome of Scx deficient tendon enabled identification of Scx-related genes in which tendon-related genes are enriched. Collectively, this study leads to a new opportunity for tendon research and provides further insight into mechanistic understanding of the differentiation pathway to a tenogenic fate.

RNA-seq analysis of equine tenocytes exposed to siRNA targeting scleraxis (Scx) to identify novel targets of Scx-mediated mechanotransduction

Project description:Equine tenocytes were exposed to an siRNA targeting the transcription factor scleraxis (Scx) or a scramble control and maintained under cyclic strain. The resulting transcriptomes were then used for RNA-seq analysis. The goal of this study was to identify novel ways in which Scx facilitates mechanotransduction in tenocytes in order to better understand tenocyte biology.

Differentially expressed transcriptomes of P7 mouse tendon cells with targeted deletion of TGF-beta signaling

Project description:Background: Our group has previously shown that disruption of TGFβ signaling in mouse limb mesenchyme resulted in arrested tendon formation (Pryce et at, 2007). To examine the role of TGFβ signaling in later stages of tendon development, the TGF-beta type II receptor gene (Tgfbr2) was targeted in the Scleraxis (Scx)-expressing cell lineage using the Cre-lox recombination system. We find that tendon development was not disrupted in mutant (Tgfbr2;ScxCre) embryos. However, shortly after birth tenocytes underwent dedifferentiation in which the cell lost differentiation markers and reverted to a more stem/progenitor state. Purpose: To determine gene expression changes in Tgfbr2;ScxCre mutant tendon cells. Methods: We performed scRNA-seq for transcriptome changes in P7 mutant tendon cells, a stage at which the majority of the mutant cells is dedifferentiated. Briefly, tendons from P7 mutant and wild-type (as a control) pups were harvested and enzymatically digested. The released cells were then subjected to scRNA-seq analysis using 10x Genomics platform. Results: Using unsupervised hierarchical clustering, we identified two major clusters corresponding to mutant (dedifferentiated) cells and wild-type tenocytes in the respective samples. Findings from the pairwise comparison of the gene set between the P7 wild-type tenocyte and mutant cell clusters do not only lend support to our notion that the mutant cells lost their differentiation state, but also suggest the possibility of induction of some developmental programs in these cells, a general feature in cellular dedifferentiation. Conclusions: TGF-beta signaling is critical for maintenance of the tendon cell fate.

Expression data from mouse limb tendon cells during development.

Project description:We have undertaken a screen of mouse limb tendon cells in order to identify molecular pathways involved in tendon development. Mouse limb tendon cells were isolated based on Scleraxis (Scx) expression at different stages of development: E11.5, E12.5 and E14.5 Microarray comparisons were carried out between tendon progenitor and differentiated stages. Forelimbs from E11.5, E12.5 and E14.5 Scx-GFP embryos were collected and dissociated with trypsin to obtain cell suspensions. Scx-positive tendon cells were isolated by FACS. RNA was extracted and Fragmented biotin-labelled cRNA samples were hybridized on Affymetrix Gene Chip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Genome-wide identification of Scx transcriptional target genes in tendon development II

Project description:Despite their important roles in the musculoskeletal system, tendon and ligaments are much less studied comparing to bone, cartilage and muscle. The lack of knowledge in tendon biology severely hinders the understanding of the etiologies of tendon related diseases and development of efficient clinical treatments. In mouse, Scx gene, encoding a Twist family bHLH transcription factor, is expressed in progenitors of all tendons and ligaments, as well as in mature tenocytes. Previous studies show that inactivation of Scx gene results in absence or severe hypoplastia of force transmitting tendons, with muscle anchoring tendons and ligaments are less affected. Here we report a set of ChIPseq data from E13.5 forelimbs of novel Scx-2xFlag tagged mice in which a Scx-Flag fusion protein is expressed recapitulating endogenous Scx expression, and a set of RNAseq data of Scx-GFP positive cells from E13.5 Scx wildtype, E15.5 Scx wildtype and homozygous mutant forelimbs. Using RNAseq and ChIPseq assays, we identify several genes exhibiting Scx-dependent tendon expression druing differentiation, with Scx binding peaks located within their promoter/enhancer regions. Thus these genes may play critical roles in mediating Scx regulated tendon cell differentiation. Our results provide new insights in the mechanisms of tendon development.

Transcriptional analysis of tendons from mice with a tenocyte-specific deletion of IGF1R

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from the plantaris tendons of adult male mice in the C57Bl/6 background that either have the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) present in their tendons (Scx:IGF1R+) or mice in which IGF1R has been deleted in tenocytes expressing scleraxis (Scx:IGF1R-). Mice were created by crossing ScxCreERT2 mice with IGF1R flox/flox mice. Mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination at the IGF1R allele, and then subjected to a synergist ablation procedure in which the Achilles tendon is removed, resulting in compensatory growth of the plantaris tendon. Mice were analyzed either 7 or 14 days after synergist ablation. Control mice that did not undergo tamoxifen treatment or synergist ablation were also studied.

Transcriptional analysis of tendons from mice with a targeted deletion of scleraxis

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from the plantaris tendons of adult male mice in the C57Bl/6 background that either have the scleraxis gene (Scx+) or mice in which scleraxis has been deleted using CreERT2 driven from the Rosa26 locus (Scx-). Mice in which scleraxis was deleted were created by crossing scleraxis-floxed mice with Rosa26-CreERT2 mice. Rosa26-CreERT2 mice that did not have a floxed scleraxis allele served as controls. Mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination at the scleraxis locus, and then subjected to a synergist ablation procedure in which the Achilles tendon is removed, resulting in compensatory growth of the plantaris tendon. Mice were analyzed either 7 or 14 days after synergist ablation. Control mice that did not undergo tamoxifen treatment or synergist ablation were also studied (NOC).

RNA-seq analysis of Scx-lineage cell depletion to investigate tendon cell functions during flexor tendon healing

Project description:Little is understood about the roles of tendon cells during flexor tendon healing. To better understand tendon cell functions, the Scx-Cre mouse was crossed to the DTR mouse model to facilitate scleraxis lineage cell depletion prior to acute flexor tendon injury and repair. WT (cre-) and experimental (cre+) mice underwent complete transection and repair of the flexor digitorum longus tendon. Repaired tendons were harvested at 14 and 28 days post-repair for bulk RNA-Seq analysis to examine possible mechanisms driving differential healing due to Scx lineage cell depletion.

The transcription factor Scleraxis differentially regulates gene expression in tenocytes isolated at different developmental stages

Project description:Purpose:- RNA sequencing was performed on adult and fetal equine tenocytes expressing a specific short hairpin RNA against scleraxis (shSCX) versus a non-target (NT) scrambled control Methods:- mRNA profiles of four independent biological lines of adult and fetal NT and shSCX expressing tenocytes were generated by RNA sequencing, using Illumina NovaSeq6000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed using the pseudoaligner Salmon and differential expression quantified using DESeq2. Gene ontology analysis was then conducted using Panther. Pathway analysis was conducted using GeneAnalytics. Network analysis was conducted using the STRING plugin in the Cytoscape app. Results:- SCX knockdown had a larger effect on gene expression in fetal tenocytes, effecting 477 genes in comparison to the 183 genes effected in adult tenocytes, indicating that SCX-dependent processes may differ in these two developmental stages.
