Project description:Common acute injuries to skeletal muscle can lead to significant pain and disability. The current therapeutic approaches for treating muscle injuries are dependent on the clinical severity but not on the type of injury. The aim of this study was to compare the molecular events accompanying the degeneration and repair phases of contraction- and trauma-induced muscle injuries by applying DNA microarray methodology to two well-characterized mouse models of skeletal muscle injury, i.e., eccentric contraction-induced injury (CI) and traumatic injury induced by freezing (FI). Histopathological evaluation and measurements of muscle strength were accompanied by analyses of expression for 12,488 known genes at four time points ranging from 6 hours to 7 days post-injury. Real-time RT-PCR was used to confirm some of the gene expression temporal profiles. While both types of injury cause early induction of transcription, myogenic, and stress-responsive factors, they also induce injury type-specific gene expression profiles. CI only activates a set of genes associated with the protection and repair of protein and structural integrity while FI activates gene sets which result in extensive inflammatory responses, tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and myofibre and extracellular matrix synthesis. This study identified genes that are candidates for therapeutic manipulation following two disparate types of muscle injury. Experiment Overall Design: 2 types of skeletal muscle injury (eccentric contraction- and freeze-induced) x 4 time points after injury (6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days post-injury). There were 3 samples for each of the 8 cells with the exception of the 'contraction injury, 1 day post-injury' and 'freeze injury, 7 days post-injury' cells; for each of these 2 cells, there were only 2 samples. Additionally, there were 3 control (i.e., uninjured) muscle samples.

Project description:In adults, muscle stem cells (muscle satellite cells, MuSCs) can be recruited to supply myoblasts for routine muscle fibre homeostasis or muscle regeneration. Epigenetic regulation is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of muscle stem cells and myoblasts. We here report that Znf143 is critical for proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. Znf143 depletion in C2C12 myoblasts dramatically repressed their myogenic differentiation, impairing multiple biological processes including striated muscle contraction, muscle cell differentiation, and myofibril assembly. This is consistent with the limited regeneration of skeletal muscle after freeze injury in mice with MuSC-specific Znf143 ablation.
