Title Transcriptional and post-transcriptional impact of toxic RNA in myotonic dystrophy
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by array
Summary Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an RNA dominant disease in which mutant transcripts containing an expanded CUG repeat (CUGexp) cause muscle dysfunction by interfering with biogenesis of other mRNAs. The toxic effects of mutant RNA are mediated partly through sequestration of splicing regulator Muscleblind-like 1 (Mbnl1), a protein that binds to CUGexp RNA. A gene that is prominently affected encodes chloride channel 1 (Clcn1), resulting in hyperexcitability of muscle (myotonia). To identify DM1-affected genes and study mechanisms for dysregulation, we performed global mRNA profiling in transgenic mice that express CUGexp RNA, as compared to Mbnl1 knockout and Clcn1 null mice. We found that the majority of changes induced by CUGexp RNA in skeletal muscle can be explained by reduced activity of Mbnl1, including many changes that are secondary to myotonia. The pathway most affected comprises genes involved in calcium signaling and homeostasis. Some effects of CUGexp RNA on gene expression are caused by abnormal alternative splicing or downregulation of Mbnl1-interacting mRNAs. However, several of the most highly dysregulated genes showed altered transcription, as indicated by parallel changes of the corresponding premRNAs. These results support the idea that trans-dominant effects of CUGexp RNA on gene expression in this transgenic model may occur at the level of transcription, RNA processing, and mRNA decay, and are mediated mainly but not entirely through sequestration of Mbnl1.

Overall design All experiments involved generating expression profiles of quadriceps muscles taken from mice. Experiments 1 and 2: samples were hybridized to Moe430A and Moe430B arrays. Experiment 3: samples were hybridized to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array. Experiment 1 compared expression profiles of wild-type mice (FVB strain) with two lines, designated 20b and 41, of CUGexp transgenic mice with FVB background. Experiment 2 compared expression profiles of Clcn1-null (myotonic) mice with the wild-type background strain (BALB). Experiment 3 compared expression profiles of Mbnl1-null mice with the wild-type background strain (FVB).
