Project description:To understand the effect of LncMyod knockdown on cultured satellite cells, we isolated satellite cells from mouse hindlimb and cultured them in vitro with siRNA treatment targeting LncMyod. Following RNA-seq showed that loss of LncMyod leads to difficiencies in myogenic differentiation.
Project description:To understand the effect of LncMyod on MyoD-induced transdifferentiation of 10T1/2 fibroblast cells, we performed RNA-seq on LncMyoD-KO 10T1/2 fibroblasts with MyoD-induced transdifferentiation.
Project description:To dissect the transcriptional dynamics regulated by lnc-Rewind who is actively express in active proliferating murine myoblast, we applied 3' RNA-sequencing on proliferating murine skeletal muscle satellite cells uopon the GAPmer based knockdown of the lncRNA
Project description:Following skeletal muscle injury, muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are activated, proliferate, and differentiate to form myofibers. We show that mRNA decay protein AUF1 regulates satellite cell function through targeted degradation of specific mRNAs. AUF1 targets certain mRNAs containing 3 AU-rich elements (AREs) for rapid decay. Auf1-/- (KO) mice undergo accelerated skeletal muscle wasting with age and impaired muscle repair following injury. Satellite cell mRNA analysis and regeneration studies demonstrate that auf1-/- satellite cell self-renewal is impaired due to increased stability and overexpression of ARE-mRNAs. Control of ARE-mRNA decay by AUF1 and potentially other ARE-binding proteins represents a mechanism for adult stem cell regulation and is implicated in human muscle wasting diseases. We report the RNA transcript expression profiles from sorted satellite cells isolated from wild type (WT) and AUF1-null (KO) mice hindlimb muscles Examination of RNA transcript expression from satellite cells of two genotypes Please note that mice are bred through a C57BL/6 strain of 129 background.
Project description:By comparing ATAC-seq from freshly isolated satellite cells (QSC), satellite cells isolated 2.5 days post-injury (ASC), and satellite cells cultured for differentiation, we observed a gradual opening of satellite cell chromatin structure during activation and differentiation process. We used ATAC-seq to study the functional role of LncMyod during satellite cell differentiation and identified genes that exhibited decrease of accessibilities to their transcription start sites (TSS). The majority of the regions are myogenesis-related genes, suggesting LncMyod plays a critical role in establishing permissive chromatin environment for myogenic progression.
Project description:We report the application of ChIPmentation on examination of H3K27ac histone mark in cultured satellite cells with siRNA treatment targeting LncMyoD. We observed no difference of H3K27ac mark around transcription start sites (TSS) after LncMyoD KD.
Project description:Our phenotypic data suggest that lactoferrin knockdown reduces satellite cell proliferative capacity. The mouse muscle tissue was digested with collagenase, and satellite cells were obtained by flow sorting. We performed transcriptome analysis of wt and lactoferrin knockout cells grown for 4 days in vitro.
Project description:The influence of the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the stem cell niche remains poorly understood. We found that Syndecan-4 (Sdc4) and Frizzled-7 (Fzd7) form a coreceptor complex in satellite cells and that binding of the ECM glycoprotein Fibronectin (FN) to Sdc4 stimulates the ability of Wnt7a to induce the symmetric expansion of satellite stem cells. Newly activated satellite cells dynamically remodel their niche via transient high-level expression of FN. Knockdown of FN in prospectively isolated satellite cells severely impaired their ability to repopulate the satellite cell niche. Conversely, in vivo overexpression of FN with Wnt7a dramatically stimulated the expansion of satellite stem cells in regenerating muscle. Therefore, activating satellite cells remodel their niche through autologous expression of FN that provides feedback to stimulate Wnt7a signaling through the Fzd7/Sdc4 coreceptor complex. Thus, FN and Wnt7a together regulate the homeostatic levels of satellite stem cells and satellite myogenic cells during regenerative myogenesis. The data set contains one microarray of pooled quiescent skeletal muscle satellite cells
