Project description:Integrative molecular roadmap for reprogramming mouse fibroblasts into induced myogenic stem and progenitor cells

Project description:Direct lineage reprogramming provides a unique system to study cell fate transitions and unearth molecular mechanisms that safeguard cellular identity. We previously reported on direct conversion of mouse fibroblasts into induced myogenic progenitor cells (iMPCs) by means of transient MyoD overexpression in concert with small molecules treatment. Here we employed integrative multi-omic assays to delineate the molecular landscape of fibroblast reprogramming into iMPCs in comparison to transdifferentiation into myogenic cells solely by MyoD overexpression. Utilizing bulk RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry we characterized molecular regulators and pathways that endow a myogenic stem cell identity on fibroblasts only in the presence of small molecule treatment. We further demonstrate that iMPC reprogramming is a stepwise process, commencing with the appearance of myofibers and committed myogenic progenitors prior to the formation of satellite cell-like myogenic progenitors that express a suite of stem cell markers including Pax7, Dek, Myf5, Sox8, and Dmrt2. To directly compare iMPCs to satellite cell-derived primary myoblasts, we employed a fluorescent Pax7-GFP reporter to purify Pax7+ cells from the heterogenous iMPC cultures and assess their equivalency to FACS-purified Pax7-GFP+ myoblasts. We demonstrate that Pax7+ iMPCs share molecular attributes with myoblasts, however also express genes and signaling pathways that are indicative of activated satellite cells including Carm1, Dlk1, Lgr5, Fos, Dek, Calcr and Pitx3. We further establish that iMPC formation and maintenance is dependent on the Notch pathway, as small molecule inhibition of Notch abrogates iMPC formation and derails stable iMPC cultures via depletion of Pax7 expressing cells. Lastly, using single cell RNA-sequencing we determine the cell populations that comprise iMPCs in addition to reconstructing the differentiation trajectory present in these heterogenous cultures. We demonstrate that a highly proliferative activated satellite cell-like population differentiates into committed myoblasts and myocytes that further give rise to myofibers that express mature muscle markers, thus capturing a dynamic differentiation program in vitro. Collectively, this study charts a molecular blueprint for reprogramming fibroblasts into myogenic stem and progenitor cells and further establishes the fidelity of stable iMPC cultures in capturing skeletal muscle regeneration in vitro for disease modeling and basic research applications.

Project description:Transient MyoD overexpression in concert with small molecule treatment reprograms mouse fibroblasts into induced myogenic progenitor cells (iMPCs). However, the molecular landscape and mechanisms orchestrating this cellular conversion remain unknown. Here, we undertook an integrative multiomics approach to delineate the process of iMPC reprogramming in comparison to myogenic transdifferentiation mediated solely by MyoD. Using transcriptomics, proteomics, and genome-wide chromatin accessibility assays, we unravel distinct molecular trajectories that govern the two processes. Notably, only iMPC reprogramming is characterized by gradual up-regulation of muscle stem cell markers, unique signaling pathways, and chromatin remodelers in conjunction with exclusive chromatin opening in core myogenic promoters. In addition, we determine that the Notch pathway is indispensable for iMPC formation and self-renewal and further use the Notch ligand Dll1 to homogeneously propagate iMPCs. Collectively, this study charts divergent molecular blueprints for myogenic transdifferentiation or reprogramming and underpins the heightened capacity of iMPCs for capturing myogenesis ex vivo.

Project description:Engineered CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activators can potently and specifically activate endogenous fate-determining genes to direct differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Here, we demonstrate that endogenous activation of the PAX7 transcription factor results in stable epigenetic remodeling and directly reprograms human pluripotent stem cells into skeletal myoblast progenitor cells. Compared to the exogenous overexpression of PAX7 cDNA, we find that endogenous activation results in the generation of more proliferative myogenic progenitors that can maintain PAX7 expression over multiple passages in serum-free conditions while preserving the capacity for terminal myogenic differentiation. Transplantation of human myogenic progenitors derived from endogenous activation of PAX7 into immunodeficient mice resulted in a greater number of human dystrophin+ myofibers compared to exogenous PAX7 overexpression. RNA-seq analysis also revealed transcriptome-wide differences between myogenic progenitors generated via CRISPR-based endogenous activation of PAX7 and exogenous PAX7 cDNA overexpression. These studies demonstrate the utility of CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activators for progenitor cell specification and their potential for regenerative medicine.
