Project description:Large animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are indispensible for preclinical evaluation of novel diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies. To evaluate functional consequences of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in skeletal muscle and myocardium, we used a new genetically engineered dystrophin KO pig model displaying hallmarks of human DMD. Heart and skeletal muscle tissue samples of DMD pigs and wild-type (WT) controls at three different ages were analyzed by label-free proteomics.

Project description:gene expression data is from RNA extracted from muscle biopsy samples taken from boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or pathologically normal controls (CTRL). Each muscle biospy was examined in detail histologically by Dr. Eric P. Hoffman at Children's National Medical Center to determine stage of disease. In addition, the absence or presence of dystrophin was determined via western blot analyses. We utilized Human U133 2.0 arrays to examine the transcriptome of each muscle, and then we compared differential gene expression between DMD patient muscles and CTRL muscules. We set the FDR p value for significance at 0.05 and at least a 1.5 fold difference in DMD/CTRL compared differential gene exrpression between DMD versus Control

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked monogenic disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD) and characterized by progressive muscle weakness leading to loss of ambulation and significantly decreased life expectancy. Since the current standard of care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy is to merely treat symptoms, there is a dire need for novel treatment modalities that can correct the underlying genetic mutations. While several gene replacement therapies are being explored in clinical trials, one emerging approach that can directly correct mutations in genomic DNA is base editing. We have recently developed CRISPR-SKIP, a base editing strategy to induce permanent exon skipping by introducing C>T or A>G mutations at splice acceptors in genomic DNA, which can be utilized therapeutically to recover dystrophin expression when a genomic deletion leads to an out-of-frame DMD transcript. We now demonstrate that CRISPR-SKIP can be adapted to correct some forms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by disrupting the splice acceptor in human DMD exon 45 with high efficiency, which enables open reading frame recovery and restoration of dystrophin expression. We also demonstrate that AAV-delivered split-intein base editors edit the splice acceptor of DMD exon 45 in cultured human cells and in vivo, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this strategy.

Project description:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating genetic disease leading to degeneration of skeletal muscles and premature death. How dystrophin absence leads to muscle wasting remains unclear. Here, we describe an optimized protocol to differentiate human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) to a late myogenic stage. This allows to recapitulate classical DMD phenotypes (mislocalization of proteins of the Dystrophin glycoprotein associated complex (DGC), increased fusion, myofiber branching, force contraction defects and calcium hyperactivation) in isogenic DMD-mutant iPSC lines in vitro. Treatment of the myogenic cultures with prednisolone (the standard of care for DMD) can dramatically rescue force contraction, fusion and branching defects in DMD iPSC lines. This argues that prednisolone acts directly on myofibers, challenging the largely prevalent view that its beneficial effects are due to anti-inflammatory properties. Our work introduces a new human in vitro model to study the onset of DMD pathology and test novel therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration. No treatments are currently available to prevent the disease. While the muscle enriched microRNA, miR-133b, has been implicated in muscle biogenesis, its role in DMD remains unknown. To assess miR-133b function in DMD-affected skeletal muscles, we genetically ablated miR-133b in the mdx mouse model of DMD. In the absence of miR-133b, the tibialis anterior muscle of juvenile and adult mdx mice is populated by small muscle fibers and exhibits increased fibrosis, characterized by thickened interstitial space. Additional analysis revealed that loss of miR-133b exacerbates DMD-pathogenesis partly by altering satellite cell numbers and through widespread transcriptomic changes. These include known miR-133b targets as well as genes involved in cell proliferation and fibrosis. Altogether, our data demonstrate that skeletal muscles utilize miR-133b to mitigate the deleterious effects of DMD.

Project description:The mdx mouse (C57BL/10ScSn-DMDmdx/J), like Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients, lacks the protein dystrophin. However, the mdx mouse has a normal lifespan and mild pathology while DMD remains a severe, fatal disease. New mouse models have been developed that are more severely affected but they have not replaced the mdx mouse in DMD research. A few years ago RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) results of biopsies from DMD and normal human muscle were published but we could not find equivalent data for the mouse. We now report RNA-sequencing of three wild-type and mdx mouse muscles: the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB), the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and the soleus (SOL). The FDB, a plantar foot muscle is often used for in vivo and ex vivo experiments but may be less affected by the lack of dystrophy than the hindlimb muscles. We compared muscles from 2- and 5-month old mice to investigate the time-course of the mdx pathology. The results show a muscle- and age-dependent parallel between mdx and DMD muscles. Although the FDB is less affected than EDL and SOL at 2 months, the three muscles show, at both ages, activation of close to 100 genes from 7 pathways that are affected in presymptomatic DMD patients and have been called "DMD disease signature".

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked progressive muscle disorder resulting in muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. MicroRNAs have shown to play a significant role in muscle development, metabolism, and disease pathologies. We demonstrated that miR-486 expression is reduced in DMD muscles and its expression levels correlate with dystrophic disease severity. miR-486 knockout mice developed disrupted myofiber architecture, decreased myofiber size, decreased locomotor activity, increased fibrosis, and metabolic defects that were exacerbated on the dystrophic mdx5cv background. We integrated RNA-sequencing and chimeric eCLIP-sequencing data to identify direct in vivo targets of miR-486 and associated dysregulated gene signatures in skeletal muscle. Together, our studies identify miR-486 as a driver of muscle remodeling in DMD, a useful biomarker for dystrophic disease progression, and highlight chimeric eCLIP-sequencing as a useful tool to identify direct in vivo microRNA target transcripts.

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.
