Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severely debilitating and incurable neuromuscular disease. Its conspicuous feature is the absence of dystrophin in myofibers and therefore most therapeutic approaches focus on some form of its re-expression there. However, increasing body of evidence points at an early developmental onset of DMD and severe abnormalities were uncovered in dystrophic muscle stem cells. In this study, we explore gene expression changes in primary myoblasts from mice lacking expression of the full length dystrophin transcript. Total RNA extracted from primary myoblasts isolated from gastrocnemii of 8 week old male Dmd-mdx (MDX - lacking the full length dystrophin transcript), Dmd-mdx-βgeo (BGEO - lacking all dystrophin expression) and control mice (WT) were subjected to RNA sequencing following ribodepletion, and analysed for the differential expression of genes between groups and the enrichment of gene ontology categories or pathways.

Project description:The 2.2 Mb long dystrophin (DMD) gene, the largest gene in the human genome, corresponds to roughly 0.1% of the entire human DNA sequence. Mutations in this gene cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other milder X-linked, recessive dystrophinopathies. Using a custom-made tiling array, specifically designed for the DMD locus, we identified a variety of novel long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), both sense and antisense oriented, whose expression profiles mirror that of DMD gene. Importantly, these transcripts are intronic in origin and specifically localized to the nucleus and are transcribed contextually with dystrophin isoforms or primed by MyoD-induced myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, their forced ectopic expression in both human muscle and neuronal cells causes a specific and negative regulation of endogenous dystrophin full length isoforms and significantly down-regulate the activity of a luciferase reporter construct carrying the minimal promoter regions of the muscle dystrophin isoform. Consistent with this apparently repressive role, we found that, in muscle samples of DMD symptomatic female carriers, lncRNAs expression levels inversely correlate with those of muscle full length DMD isoforms. Overall these findings unveil an unprecedented complexity of the transcriptional pattern of the DMD locus and reveal that DMD-specific lncRNAs may contribute to the orchestration and homeostasis of the muscle dystrophin expression pattern by selective targeting and down-modulation of dystrophin promoter transcriptional activity.

Project description:Crossing of hDMD mice that contain the full-length 2.3 Mb hDMD gene were crossed with dystrophin-deficient mdx mice and dystrophin and utrophin double-deficient mdx x utrn-/- mice resulted in a full rescue of the dystrophic features of these mice, as concluded from histological analysis. Analysis on Affymetrix gene chips demonstrated that also expression profiles of the dystrophic mice were normalized by crossing with transgenic hDMD mice. This confirms the full functionality of the hDMD transgene in mice. Keywords: disease state analysis

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal genetic disease. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-mediated gene editing is a promising strategy for permanently curing DMD. In this study we developed a novel strategy for reframing DMD mutations by CRISPR-mediated large-scale excision of exons 46–54. We compared this approach to other DMD rescue strategies using DMD patient-derived primary muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and found that it showed the highest efficiency in terms of restoring of dystrophin protein expression. We also confirmed that CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella 1(Cpf1)-mediated genome editing could correct DMD mutation with higher specificity than CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9). Furthermore, A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) DMD mouse model was established by transplanting DMD-MDSCs into immunodeficient mice. CRISPR gene editing components were intramuscularly delivered into the mouse model by adeno-associated virus vectors. Dystrophin expression levels were increased by 10%–30% in human DMD muscle fibers. The restored dystrophin in vivo was functional, as demonstrated by the expression of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex member β-dystroglycan. This study provides a sensitive indicator for in vivo efficacy of gene editing and lays the foundation for a clinical trial of DMD treatment with gene editing technology.
