Genet."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Muscle damage and fibro-fatty replacement of skeletal muscles is a main pathologic feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with more proximal muscles affected earlier and more distal affected later in the disease course, suggesting that different skeletal muscle groups possess distinctive characteristics that influence their susceptibility to disease. To explore transcriptomic factors driving differential gene expression and modulating DMD skeletal muscle severity, we characterized the transcriptome of vastus lateralis (VL), a more proximal and susceptible muscle, relative to tibialis anterior (TA), a more distal and protected muscle, in 15 healthy individuals using bulk RNA sequencing to identify gene expression differences that may mediate their relative susceptibility to damage with loss of dystrophin. Matching single nuclei RNA sequencing data was generated for 3 of the healthy individuals, to infer cell composition in the bulk RNA sequencing dataset and to improve mapping of differentially expressed genes to their cell source of expression. A total of 3,410 differentially expressed genes were identified and mapped to cell type using single nuclei RNA sequencing of muscle, including long non-coding RNAs and protein coding genes. There was an enrichment of genes involved in calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, particularly in the myofibers and these myofiber genes were higher in the VL. There was an enrichment of genes in \u201cCollagen-Containing Extracellular Matrix\u201d expressed by fibroblasts, endothelial, smooth muscle and pericytes, with most genes higher in the TA, as well as genes in \u201cRegulation Of Apoptotic Process\u201d expressed across all cell types. Previously reported genetic modifiers were also enriched within the differentially expressed genes. We also identify 6 genes with differential isoform usage between the VL and TA. Lastly, we integrate our findings with DMD RNA sequencing data from the TA, and identify \u201cCollagen-Containing Extracellular Matrix\u201d and \u201cNegative Regulation Of Apoptotic Process\u201d as differentially expressed between DMD compared to healthy. Collectively, these findings propose novel candidate mechanisms that may mediate differential muscle susceptibility in muscular dystrophies and provide new insight into potential therapeutic targets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2023.1216066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T20:55:47Z","timestamp":1690491347000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Transcriptomic analysis of paired healthy human skeletal muscles to identify modulators of disease severity in DMD"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shirley","family":"Nieves-Rodriguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy D.","family":"Woods","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie D.","family":"Douine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard T.","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deirdre D.","family":"Scripture-Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin N.","family":"Chesmore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Galasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
