Project description:Skeletal muscle is composed of multinucleated myofibers, in which nuclei share the cytoplasm, and other cell types. Here, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-Seq) to determine the gene expressions in each nucleus in gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles collected from 12-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice. Our datasets also provided a basis for comparing gene expressions between myofibers and other cell types and discovering the novel cell populations in muscle tissues.

Project description:To understand the role of LSD1 in transcriptional regulation in muscle under glucocorticoid stress, RNA-seq analyses of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of skeletal muscle-specific LSD1 KO mice (LSD1-mKO mice) and WT mice after dexamethasone were carried out. We found that LSD1 inhibition led to increased expression of muscle atrophy associated genes and slow fiber genes in gastrocnemius muscle but not in soleus muscle.
Project description:The samples consist of cells from two muscle types in mice – rotator cuff and gastrocnemius muscles. The aim of the project is to study the methylation differences between the two muscle types, specifically in genes involved in adipogenesis and muscle regeneration in the rotator cuff muscle with the gastrocnemius muscle being the control.
Project description:To gain new insights into molecular changes in skeletal muscle aging and disease with a special focus on differential alternative splicing and senescence, we performed RNA-seq on rat gastrocnemius muscles of animals aged 6, 12, 18, 21, 24 and 27 months, using a rat sarcopenia model we had previously established.

Project description:This study aims to characterize the diversity of cell types in human skeletal muscle across age using two complementary technologies: single-cell and single-nucleus sequencing, which provide a comprehensive coverage of cell types in the muscle. We leveraged the aforementioned datasets to study change in cell type composition and gene expression between young (n= 8, approx. 20-40 yrs) and old (n = 9, approx. 60-80 yrs) adults, highlighting changes in the major skeletal muscle compartments, muscle satellite cells, myofiber and muscle microenvironment including stromal, immune and vascular cell types. Additionally, we generated a complementary mouse muscle aging dataset by profiling hindlimb muscles from young (n = 5, 3 months) versus old mice (n = 3, 19 months), using single-cell and single-nucleus sequencing for comparison.
Project description:Fast and slow skeletal muscles show different characteristics and phenotypes. This data obtained from microarray includes the comparison of normal fast plantaris and slow soleus muscles of adult rats. Characters of slow muscle are strongly dependent on the level of muscular activity. Denervation silences the muscular activity. Therefore, we determined the effects of denervation on gene expression in slow soleus muscle of adult rats. Denervation was performed by transection (~5 mm) of left sciatic nerve at the gluteal level. No treatments were made in the normal control rats. Sampling of soleus and/or plantaris was performed in both normal and experimental groups 28 days after the surgery.
