Dystrophin expression in muscle stem cells regulates their polarity and asymmetric division

Abstract: Dystrophin is expressed in differentiated myofibers where it is required for sarcolemmal integrity, and loss-of-function mutations in its gene result in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a disease characterized by progressive and severe skeletal muscle degeneration. Here we found that dystrophin is also highly expressed in activated muscle stem cells (also known as satellite cells) where it associates with the Ser/Thr kinase Mark2 (also known as Par1b), an important regulator of cell polarity. In the absence … Show more

“…Indeed, dystrophic satellite cells undergo extensive mitosis with a small population of progenitors contributing to the effective muscle repair [38,41]. In particular, accordingly with the elevated levels of paired box 7 (Pax7) expression in both DMD patients and mdx mice [42,43], cultured myoblasts from dystrophic muscles showed an increased number of Pax7-positive cells not expressing Myf5 (Myogenic factor 5) and a reduction of myogenin-differentiating cells [38,41]. Since dystrophin is expressed in activated satellite cells, dystrophin-deficient SCs display impaired polarity, abnormal division, and altered differentiation [41].…”

“…Recent evidence demonstrates that defects in dystrophin lead to intrinsic satellite cells dysfunction, including loss of cell polarity and reduced number of self-renewing cells, resulting in compromised muscle regeneration. 5 Early in life, DMD patients can temporarily counter the continuous degeneration imposed by contractile activity of dystrophin-deficient myofibers through a compensatory regeneration mediated by adult muscle stem (satellite) cells (MuSCs). 6,7 However, the regenerative potential of MuSCs declines at later stages of DMD progression and muscle tissues are supplanted by fibrosis, calcium deposits and fat infiltration leading to the clinical manifestations in DMD patients.…”

“…Si, jusqu'à récemment, l'expression de la dystrophine et des protéines du complexe dystroglycane (DGC) était restreinte aux fibres musculaires, l'analyse par puce à ADN a révélé que les cellules satellites expriment également la plupart des composants du DGC [7,8]. Les cellules satellites expriment ainsi la protéine dystroglycane (Dag1) qui joue un rôle clé dans leur bon fonctionnement [9].…”

“…Ces résultats soulignent l'importance des protéines du DGC pour la fonction des cellules satellites et suggèrent que l'incapacité des cellules satellites à régénérer les muscles dystrophiques est due à des déficits cellulaires intrinsèques. Dans une récente étude, nous avons démontré que les cellules satellites sont intrinsèquement déficientes dans la DMD [7]. L'immunomarquage de cellules satellites murines, isolées de muscles sains en régénération ou de fibres musculaires cultivées ex vivo, a révélé que la dystrophine est exprimée dans une fraction de cellules satellites 24 à 36 heures suivant leur activation (c'est-à-dire leur sortie de l'état de quiescence).…”
