Necessity of Notch3 signaling in myofiber maturation in a pluripotent stem cell transplant model

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of Notch3 signaling in muscle regeneration using iPax3-derived myogenic progenitors. We generated iPax3-N3KO (Notch3-deficient) and iPax3-N3OE (Notch3-overexpressing) progenitors to assess how Notch3 influences muscle regeneration and myofiber maturation. In vivo transplantation of iPax3-N3KO progenitors showed normal myofiber engraftment but increased expression of embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMHC), suggesting delayed myofiber maturation. Conversely, iPax3-N3OE progenitors exhibited reduced myofiber engraftment and decreased eMHC expression, indicating that Notch3 activation inhibits myogenic progenitors differentiation and myofiber maturation. Secondary transplantation experiments showed similar engraftment rates between iPax3 (empty vector control, “EV”) and iPax3-N3KO satellite cells, but significantly reduced engraftment from iPax3-N3OE satellite cells. Additionally, fiber type composition analysis revealed increased eMHC expression in Pax3-N3KO grafts and no differences in iPax3-N3OE grafts compared to control. These findings suggest that Notch3 signaling plays a critical role in myofiber maturation and differentiation. Absence of Notch3 results in less mature fibers, while its activation impairs differentiation. Transcriptional profiling of iPax3-N3OE donor-derived satellite cells indicates that these effects may be driven by alterations in cell cycle regulation.

Effect of Notch1 signaling on muscle engraftment and maturation from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cell-derived iPax3 myogenic progenitors display an embryonic molecular signature but become postnatal upon transplantation. Because this correlates with upregulation of Notch signaling, here we probed whether Notch1 is required for in vivo maturation by performing gain- and loss-of-function studies in iPax3 myogenic progenitors. Transplantation studies revealed comparable myofiber engraftment. However, assessment of fiber type composition revealed more mature myofiber grafts in the overexpression cohort, as shown by the lower expression of embryonic MHC and increased levels of type IIX MHC. Surprisingly, more mature myofiber were also observed in the absence of Notch1, suggesting its dispensability for in vivo maturation. Donor-derived Pax7+ cells were detected in all transplants, however, in the absence of Notch1, secondary grafts exhibited a high fraction of these cells in the interstitial space. RNA-sequencing showed changes in extracellular matrix organization, cell cycle, and metabolism, suggesting that Notch1 is required for satellite cell homing.

Transcriptome profiling of hindlimb-derived adult satellite cells

Project description:Optimal cell-based therapies for the treatment of muscle degenerative disorders should not only regenerate fibers, but provide a quiescent satellite cell pool ensuring long-term maintenance and regeneration. Conditional expression of Pax3/Pax7 in differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSC) allows the generation of myogenic progenitors endowed with satellite cell-like abilities. To identify the molecular determinants underlying their regenerative potential, we performed transcriptome analyses of these cells along with primary myogenic cells from several developmental stages. Here we show that in vitro generated PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess a molecular signature similar to embryonic/fetal myoblasts. However, compared to fetal myoblasts, following transplantation they show superior myofiber engraftment and ability to seed the satellite cell niche, respond to multiple re-injuries and contribute to long-term regeneration. Upon engraftment, the transcriptome of Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors changes dramatically, acquiring similarity to that of satellite cells, particularly in genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. Single cell profiling reveals that these changes are induced, not selected, by the in vivo environment. These findings demonstrate that Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess proliferative and migratory abilities characteristic of earlier developmental stages, and an intrinsic ability to respond to environmental cues upon skeletal muscle regeneration.

Notch signaling/MyoD double deficient embryonic muscle progenitors

Project description:Skeletal muscle growth and regeneration rely on myogenic progenitor and satellite cells, the stem cells of postnatal muscle. Elimination of Notch signals during mouse development results in premature differentiation of myogenic progenitors and formation of very small muscle groups. Here we show that this drastic effect is rescued by mutation of the muscle differentiation factor MyoD. However, rescued myogenic progenitors do not assume a satellite cell position and contribute poorly to myofiber growth. The disrupted homing is due to a deficit in basal lamina assembly around emerging satellite cells and to their impaired adhesion to myofibers. On a molecular level, emerging satellite deregulate the expression of basal lamina components and adhesion molecules like integrin a7, collagen XVIIIa1, Megf10 and Mcam. We conclude that Notch signals control homing of satellite cells, stimulating them to contribute to their own microenvironment and to adhere to myofibers.

A myogenic double reporter human pluripotent stem cell line allows prospective isolation of skeletal muscle progenitors

Project description:Myogenic differentiation of iPSCs has been done by gene–overexpression or directed differentiation. However, viral integration, long-term culture and the presence of unwanted cells are the main obstacles. By using CRISPR/Cas9n, a novel double reporter hESC line was generated for PAX7/MYF5, allowing prospective readout. This strategy allowed pathway screen to define efficient myogenic induction in hESC/iPSCs. Next, surface marker screen allowed identification of CD10 and CD24 for purification of myogenic progenitors. CD10 expression was also confirmed on human satellite cells and muscle progenitors. In vivo studies using transgene/reporter-free hESC/iPSCs further validated myogenic potential of the cells by dystrophin restoration and satellite cell engraftment in NSG-mdx4cv mice. In addition, side-by-side in vitro and in vivo comparison proved superior specificity of CD10/CD24 compared to recently reported markers (ERBB3/NGFR). This study provides new biological insights for myogenic differentiation using a new cell resource and identifies CD10 as a potential myogenic marker.

Isolation of human skeletal muscle precursor cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting.

Project description:Novel fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) strategies to prospectively purify functionally distinct cell populations from the human myofiber-associated (hMFA) cell compartment, including human Skeletal Muscle Precursor cells (hSMPs): HSMPs, identified as CD45-Mac1-GlyA-CD31-CD34-CD56intITGA7hi hMFA cells, are highly enriched for cells expressing the satellite cell marker PAX7 and show efficient myogenic and lack adipogenic capacity. CD45-CD11b-GlyA-CD31-CD34+ hMFA cells (CD34+ cells) do not express PAX7, lack myogenic and exhibit adipogenic activity. We used Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays to gain deeper insights into the molecular underpinnings functionally and phenotypically discrete human myofiber-associated cell subsets.

A Unique Twist-Dependent Progenitor Cell Contributes to Adult Skeletal Muscle [Tw2 overexpression]

Project description:Skeletal muscle possesses remarkable regenerative potential due to satellite cells, a stem cell population located beneath the muscle basal lamina. By lineage tracing of progenitor cells expressing the Twist2 (Tw2) transcription factor in mice, we discovered a unique myogenic lineage that resides outside the basal lamina of adult muscle and contributes specifically to type IIb/x myofibers during adulthood and muscle regeneration. Tw2+ progenitors are molecularly and anatomically distinct from satellite cells, are highly myogenic in vitro and can fuse with satellite cells. Transplantation of Tw2+ progenitors into adult mice is sufficient to reconstitute new myofibers, and genetic ablation of endogenous Tw2+ progenitors causes wasting of type IIb myofibers. We show that Tw2 expression maintains progenitor cells in an undifferentiated state that is poised to initiate myogenesis in response to appropriate cues that suppress Tw2 expression. Tw2-expressing progenitors represent a previously unrecognized, fiber-type specific progenitor cell involved in muscle growth and regeneration.
