Single-cell transcriptional landscape of muscle-derived stem/progenitor cells reveal hallmarks of aging and rejuvenation

ABSTRACT: Muscle-derived stem/progenitor cells (MDSPCs) are an adult stem cell population with demonstrated regenerative and rejuvenative potential distinct from other muscle progenitor cells. However, their molecular identity and developmental status remain poorly defined. Using single-cell transcriptomic and proteomics, we profiled murine MDSPCs comprehensively across age groups. We show that MDSPCs exist along a transcriptional continuum of maturation—ranging from metabolically active, proliferative early-stage cells to late-stage, lineage-committed myogenic populations. While lacking canonical pluripotency markers, early-stage MDSPCs express gene programs associated with embryonic progenitor identity, suggesting a non-canonical, multipotent-like state. These features distinguish them from both satellite cells and committed myoblasts. Aging reshapes this continuum by reducing stemness-associated signatures while enhancing differentiation programs and oxidative stress. The identification of distinct MDSPC states provide critical insights into mechanisms that underly tissue regeneration and aging. These analyses offer a blueprint for development of future regenerative therapies to combat age-related functional decline.

Aging disrupts gene expression timing during muscle regeneration

Project description:Skeletal muscle function and regenerative capacity decline during aging, yet factors driving these changes are incompletely understood. Muscle regeneration requires temporally coordinated transcriptional programs to drive myogenic stem cells to activate, proliferate, fuse to form myofibers, and to mature myonuclei, restoring muscle function after injury. We assessed global changes in myogenic transcription programs distinguishing muscle regeneration in aged mice from young mice by comparing pseudotime trajectories from single-nucleus RNA sequencing of myogenic nuclei. Aging-specific differences in coordinating myogenic transcription programs necessary for restoring muscle function occur following muscle injury, likely contributing to compromised regeneration in aged mice. Differences in pseudotime alignment of myogenic nuclei when comparing aged to young mice via Dynamic Time-Warping revealed pseudotemporal differences becoming progressively more severe as regeneration proceeds. Disruptions in timing of myogenic gene expression programs may contribute to incomplete skeletal muscle regeneration and declines in muscle function as organisms age.

Enhancer rewiring orchestrates inflammation and loss of cell identity during muscle stem cell aging [Hi-C]

Project description:Loss of regeneration is a key feature of aging organs, often linked to stem cell exhaustion. Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) undergo age-related numerical and functional decline, contributing to reduced regenerative potential. Using low-input multi-omics, we systematically profiled the epigenome, transcriptome, and 3D genome of MuSCs from individual mice across 3 age groups (young, old, and geriatric) and both sexes. MuSCs from aged mice, particularly males, exhibited early alterations (evident in old), including enhanced proinflammatory signaling with loss of cell identity. Late alterations (evident in geriatric) included heightened inflammation, widespread enhancer activation, and 3D genome rewiring. Proinflammatory pathways were enriched for interferon signaling and correlated with endogenous retroviral expression and NFκB activity. Late-stage epigenome and 3D genome rewiring reflected downstream degenerative changes in muscle organization, response to cytokines, and loss of myogenic identity. These progressive molecular shifts may explain the aggravated proliferative deficit observed in MuSCs during aging.

Fibrogenic cell plasticity blunts tissue regeneration and aggravates muscular dystrophy

Project description:Preservation of cell identity is necessary for homeostasis of most adult tissues. This process is challenged every time a tissue undergoes regeneration after stress or injury. In the lethal Duchenne muscular Dystrophy (DMD), skeletal muscle regenerative capacity declines gradually as fibrosis increases. Using genetically engineered-tracing mice, we demonstrate that in dystrophic muscle, specialized cells of muscular, endothelial and hematopoietic origins gain plasticity towards a fibrogenic fate via a TGFβ-mediated pathway. This results in loss of cellular identity and normal function, with deleterious consequences for regeneration. Furthermore, this fibrogenic process involves acquisition of a mesenchymal progenitor multipotent status, illustrating a link between fibrogenesis and gain of progenitor cell functions. As this plasticity was also observed in DMD patients, we propose that mesenchymal transitions impair regeneration and worsen diseases with a fibrotic component. TGFb exposure induced gene expression was measured after 4 days of treatment compared to untreated cells. Three independent experiments were performed both for the treatment and for the control

Enhancer rewiring orchestrates inflammation and loss of cell identity during muscle stem cell aging [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Loss of regeneration is a key feature of aging organs, often linked to stem cell exhaustion. Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) undergo age-related numerical and functional decline, contributing to reduced regenerative potential. Using low-input multi-omics, we systematically profiled the epigenome, transcriptome, and 3D genome of MuSCs from individual mice across 3 age groups (young, old, and geriatric) and both sexes. At baseline, young male MuSCs showed reduced expression of cell cycle-related mRNAs. In aged mice, particularly males, MuSCs exhibited early alterations (emerging during the transition from young to old age), including enhanced proinflammatory signaling, and loss of cell identity. Late alterations (emerging during the transition from old to geriatric age) included heightened inflammation, widespread enhancer activation, and extensive 3D genome rewiring. Proinflammatory pathways were enriched for interferon signaling and correlated with endogenous retroviral expression and NFκB activity. Late-stage epigenome and 3D genome rewiring reflected downstream degenerative changes in muscle organization, response to cytokines, and loss of myogenic identity. Thus, progressive molecular shifts may explain the aggravated proliferative deficit and functional impairment observed in MuSCs during aging.

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 3; Adult vs. Young)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging. We report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old and adult cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months) and Adult (6 months) mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 2; Old/Geriatric vs. Young and SAMR1 vs. SAMP8)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging and in progeric conditions. Here we report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging and progeria. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months), Old (22-24 months), Geriatric (28-30 months), SAMR1 and SAMP8 mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).
