Lockd promotes myoblast proliferation and skeletal muscle regeneration through binding with DHX36 to facilitate unwinding of 5’UTR rG4 and translation of Anp32e mRNA

ABSTRACT: Adult muscle stem cells, also known as satellite cells (SCs) play pivotal roles in injury induced muscle regeneration and our knowledge of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) functions in SCs remains limited. Here we identify a lncRNA, Lockd which is induced in activated SCs upon acute muscle injury. We demonstrate that Lockd promotes SC proliferation; deletion of Lockd leads to cell cycle arrest at G1/S phase. Consistently, in vivo repression of Lockd in mouse muscles hinders muscle regeneration process. Mechanistically, we uncover that Lockd lncRNA molecule directly interacts with an RNA helicase DHX36; structural probing further shows that the 5’end of the Lockd possesses the strongest binding activity with DHX36 protein. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Lockd stabilizes the interaction between DHX36 and EIF3B proteins; and synergistically this complex unwinds the RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) structure formed at the 5’UTR of Anp32e mRNA and promotes the translation of ANP32E protein which is required for myoblast cell proliferation. Altogether, our findings thus identify a regulatory circuitry consisting of Lockd/DHX36/Anp32e that functions to promote myoblast proliferation, thus enabling the acute injury induced muscle regeneration to progress.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important in the regulation of many biological processes including muscle development. However, little is known regarding miRNA regulation of muscle regeneration. In mature murine tibialis anterior muscle following injury, 298 miRNAs were significantly changed during the time course of muscle regeneration including 86 that were altered greater than 10-fold as compared to uninjured muscle. Temporal miRNA expression patterns were identified and included inflammation-related miRNAs (miR-223 and -147) that increased immediately after injury; this pattern contrasted to that of mature muscle-specific miRNAs (miR-1, -133a and -499) that were abruptly decreased following injury and then up-regulated in later regenerative events. Another cluster of miRNAs were transiently increased in the early days of muscle regeneration. This included miR-351, a miRNA that was also transiently expressed during myogenic progenitor cell (MPC) differentiation in vitro. Based on computational predictions, further studies demonstrated that E2f3 was a target of miR-351 in myoblasts. Moreover, knockdown of miR-351 expression inhibited MPC proliferation and promoted apoptosis during MPC differentiation, whereas miR-351 overexpression protected MPC from apoptosis during differentiation. Collectively, these observations suggest that miR-351 is involved in both the maintenance of MPC proliferation and the transition of MPC into differentiated myotubes. Thus, a novel, time-dependent sequence of molecular events during skeletal muscle regeneration has been identified, i.e., miR-351 inhibits E2f3 expression, a key regulator of cell cycle progression and proliferation, and promotes MPC proliferation and protects early differentiating MPC from apoptosis, important events in the hostile tissue environment after acute muscle injury. Skeletal muscles are damaged and repaired repeatedly throughout life. Muscle regeneration maintains locomotor function during aging and delays the appearance of clinical symptoms in neuromuscular diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The capacity for skeletal muscle growth and regeneration is conferred by satellite cells located between the basal lamina and the sarcolemma of mature myofibers. Upon injury, satellite cells reenter the cell cycle, proliferate, and then exit the cell cycle either to renew the quiescent satellite cell pool or to differentiate into mature myofibers. Despite recent advances, genes involved in these processes are still largely unknown. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate satellite cell activities could promote development of novel countermeasures to enhance muscle regeneration that is compromised by diseases or aging. Using a muscle injury mouse model, we profiled miRNA expression during muscle regeneration.
