Disease modeling and gene correction of LGMDR21- iPSCs elucidates the role of POGLUT1 in skeletal muscle maintenance, regeneration and satellite cell niche

ABSTRACT: LGMDR21 is a recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the protein O-glucosyltransferase 1 gene (POGLUT1). This enzyme is responsible for O-glucosylation of specific epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats found in ~50 mammalian proteins, including the Notch receptors. Previous data from patient biopsies indicated impaired Notch signaling, reduction of muscle stem cells and accelerated differentiation of myoblasts as possible pathologic mechanism. Using patient iPSCs and their corrected isotypes, we showed that patient iPSC-derived myogenic progenitors demonstrate dysregulation of gene clusters related to POGLUT1, NOTCH, muscle development, ECM, cell adhesion and migration (MET signaling). They also exhibited reduced in vitro enzymatic activity and NOTCH signaling, defective myogenesis, proliferation, migration and differentiation. In vivo studies demonstrated significant reductions in engraftment, muscle stem cell formation, PAX7 expression and maintenance, along with increased percentage of PAX7 positive cells in the interstitial space between myofibers. Remarkably, gene corrected cells were able to rescue in vitro and in vivo phenotypes. These results describe novel mechanistic insights for LGMDR21 pathology and the efficacy of site-specific gene correction in disease modeling and rescue of the phenotypes and paving the way toward gene therapies for LGMDs.

The effect of BMP4/6 stimulation on adult muscle stem cells (MuSC)

Project description:Muscle development and regeneration strongly depends on extracellular cues and growth factors, which are taken up by muscle stem cells and guide them either towards proliferation and fusion or towards quiescence. Here we investigated the effect of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling on Pax7 positive adult muscle stem cells of the mouse. We discovered a cross talk between the BMP- and NOTCH-signalling pathways, leading to high upregulation upon BMP4/BMP6-stimulation of Hes1 mRNA which is a key component of the NOTCH-siganling pathway.

Barx2 and Pax7 have antagonistic functions in regulation of Wnt signaling and satellite cell differentiation

Project description:The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is critical for myogenesis and can induce muscle progenitors to switch from proliferation to differentiation; how Wnt signals integrate with muscle specific regulatory factors in this process is poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that the Barx2 homeobox protein promotes differentiation in cooperation with the muscle regulatory factor (MRF) MyoD. Pax7, another important muscle homeobox factor represses differentiation. We now identify Barx2,MyoD,and Pax7 as novel components of the Wnt effector complex, providing a new molecular pathway for regulation of muscle progenitor differentiation. Canonical Wnt signaling induces Barx2 expression in muscle progenitors and perturbation of Barx2 leads to misregulation of Wnt target genes. Barx2 activates two endogenous Wnt target promoters as well as the Wnt reporter gene TOPflash, the latter synergistically with MyoD. Moreover, Barx2 interacts with the core Wnt effectors Î²-catenin and TCF, is recruited to TCF/LEF sites, and promotes recruitment of Î²-catenin. In contrast, Pax7 represses the Wnt reporter gene and antagonizes the activating effect of Barx2. Pax7 also binds Î²-catenin suggesting that Barx2 and Pax7 may compete for interaction with the core Wnt effector complex. Overall, the data show for the first time that Barx2, Pax7, and MRFs can act as direct transcriptional effectors of Wnt signals in myoblasts and that Barx2 and Wnt signaling participate in a regulatory loop. We propose that antagonism between Barx2 and Pax7 in regulation of Wnt signaling may help mediate the switch from myoblast proliferation to differentiation. RNA-Seq analyses was used to characterize gene expression in primary myoblasts from wild-type and Barx2 knockout mice.

Correction of the Exon 2, Exon 2-8 and Exons 8-9 duplications in DMD patient myogenic cells by a Single CRISPR/Cas9 system

Project description:Duchenne Muscular dystrophy (DMD), a yet-incurable X-linked recessive disorder that results in muscle wasting and loss of ambulation is due to mutations in the dystrophin gene. Exonic duplications of dystrophin gene are a common type of mutations found in DMD patients. In this study, we utilized a single guideRNA CRISPR strategy targeting intronic regions to delete the extra duplicated regions in patient myogenic cells carrying duplication of exon 2, exons 2 to 9, and exons 8 to 9 in the DMD gene. Immunostaining on CRISPR corrected derived myotubes demonstrated the rescue of dystrophin protein. RNA sequencing of the corrected differentiated myogenic derivatives indicated rescue of dystrophin related molecular pathways. Examination of predicted close-match off-targets evidenced no aberrant gene editing at these loci. Here, we demonstrated a single guide CRISPR strategy that can be utilized to delete multi-exons duplication in patient DMD genes without significant off target effect, leading to restoration of transcriptome in the corrected patient derived cells. This study further expands the application of single guide CRISPR strategy as a potential therapeutic approach for patients with larger DNA region duplication in DMD patients.

Human muscle-derived CLEC14A-positive cells regenerate muscle independent of PAX7

Project description:Skeletal muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, are responsible for postnatal muscle growth, homeostasis and regeneration. Attempts to utilize the regenerative potential of muscle stem cells for therapeutic purposes so far failed. The transcription factor Pax7 defines satellite cells across species 1-4 . We previously established human PAX7-positive cell colonies with high regenerative potential 5 . We now identified PAX7-negative human muscle-derived cell colonies (PAX7neg) also positive for the myogenic markers desmin and MYF5. These included cells from a unique myopathic patient with rigid spine and respiratory insufficiency due to a homozygous PAX7 c.86-1G>A mutation (PAX7null). Single cell and bulk transcriptome analysis showed high intra- and inter-donor heterogeneity and revealed the endothelial cell marker CLEC14A to be highly expressed in PAX7null cells. All PAX7neg cell populations, including PAX7null, formed myofibers after transplantation into mice, and regenerated muscle after reinjury. Transplanted PAX7neg cells repopulated the satellite cell niche where they re-expressed PAX7. Strikingly, PAX7null cells expressing CLEC14A were also identified below the basal lamina. In summary, transplanted human cells do not depend on PAX7 for muscle regeneration. Thus, Pax7 is not a suitable marker for selection of optimal cells for muscle regenerative therapies.

p110α of PI3K is Indispensable for Quiescence Exit in Adult Muscle Satellite Cells

Project description:Adult muscle stem cells (MuSC) are quiescent with a localization between myofibers and basal lamina. Upon injury, MuSC exit quiescence, reenter cell cycle, expand and differentiate for muscle regeneration. By using genetic mouse model, we identified p110α/mTORC1 signaling as a indispensable pathway that permits quiescence exit and cell cycle reentry. In order to dig out the downstream effectors, we compared the transcriptome of freshly isolated MuSC from Ctrl (p110α-f/+:R26-YFP/YFP:Pax7-CreER/CreER) to MuSC-specific p110α-null (iKO, p110α-f/f:R26-YFP/YFP:Pax7-CreER/CreER) mice by RNA-sequencing, and AP1 target genes were dramatically down-regulated in iKO MuSC. Restoration of Jun could significantly rescue the cell cycle reentry defect in iKO MuSC. In summary, we provided a p110α/mTORC1/Jun axis required for quiecence exit and cell cycle reentry of MuSC.

Identification of Pax7 target genes in muscle stem cells

Project description:Adult muscle stem cells, also known as muscle satellite cells, which are the resident tissue stem cells of skeletal muscle, provide myonuclei for postnatal muscle growth and for maintenance and regeneration in adults. Satellite cells specifically express the transcription factor pax7. The purpose of this study was to identify pax7 target genes and clarify the role of pax7 in muscle stem cell maintenance. We succeeded in generating Pax7-YFP knockin mice (Pax7-YFP KI) that can visualize endogenous pax7 expressed in satellite cells with YFP fluorescent protein. Novel pax7 target genes were identified by ChIP-sequencing (chromatin immunoprecipitation) analysis with muscle stem cells of Pax7-YFP KI mice.

POGLUT2 and POGLUT3 O-glucosylate multiple EGF repeats in fibrillin-1, -2, and LTBP1 and promote secretion of FBN1

Project description:Fibrillin-1 (FBN1) is the major component of extracellular matrix microfibrils, which are required for proper development of elastic tissues including heart and lung. Through protein-protein interactions with latent TGF-beta binding protein 1 (LTBP1), microfibrils assist regulation of TGF-beta signaling. Mutations within the 47 epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats of FBN1 cause autosomal dominant disorders including Marfan Syndrome that disrupt TGF-beta signaling. We recently identified 2 novel protein O-glucosyltransferases, Protein O-glucosyltransferase 2 (POGLUT2) and Protein O-glucosyltransferase 3 (POGLUT3), that modify a few EGF repeats on Notch. Here, using mass spectral analysis, we show that POGLUT2 and POGLUT3 also modify over half of the EGF repeats on FBN1, fibrillin-2 (FBN2), and LTBP1. While most sites are modified by both enzymes, some sites show a preference for either POGLUT2 or POGLUT3. POGLUT2 and POGLUT3 are homologs of POGLUT1, which stabilizes Notch proteins by addition of O-glucose to Notch EGF repeats. Like POGLUT1, POGLUT2 and 3 can discern a folded versus unfolded EGF repeat, suggesting POGLUT2 and 3 are involved in a protein folding pathway. In vitro secretion assays using recombinant FBN1 revealed reduced FBN1 secretion in POGLUT2 knockout, POGLUT3 knockout, and POGLUT2 and 3 double knockout HEK293T cells compared to wild type. These results illustrate that POGLUT2 and 3 function together to O-glycosylate protein targets, and that these modifications play a role in secretion of target proteins.

Pax7 remodels the chromatin landscape in skeletal muscle stem cells

Project description:The mechanisms by which Pax7 promotes skeletal muscle stem (satellite) cell identity are not yet understood. We have taken advantage of pluripotent stem cells wherein the induced expression of Pax7 robustly initiates the muscle program and enables the generation of muscle precursors that repopulate the satellite cell compartment upon transplantation. Pax7 binding was excluded from H3K27 tri-methylated regions, suggesting that recruitment of this factor is circumscribed by chromatin state. Further, Pax7 binding provoked localized chromatin remodeling, including the acquisition of enhancer-associated histone marks and induction of chromatin accessibility. Conversely, removal of Pax7 led to rapid reversal of these features on a subset of enhancers. Another cohort of Pax7 binding sites exhibited a durably accessible and remodeled chromatin state after Pax7 removal, and persistent enhancer accessibility was associated with subsequent binding by muscle regulatory factors. Our studies provide new insights into Pax7 and the epigenetic landscape of skeletal muscle stem cells.
