Analysis of the proteome shows dynamic alterations during myogenic differentiation.

Primary myoblasts isolated from five individual mice were seeded and differentiated for up to 5 days. (B) Principal component analysis (PCA) of proteomics data. Ellipses represent a 95% confidence interval for each day of differentiation. (C) qRT-PCR analysis showing the relative mRNA expression of Pax7, MyoD, and Myogenin, normalized to Gapdh and day 0. (D) Mass-spectrometry-based quantification of PAX7, MYOD, and MYOGENIN protein levels normalized to day 0. (E) Pie chart for proteome dynamics. 6098 protein groups were subjected to k-means clustering analysis, 2259 were unaffected, while 3839 protein groups showed significant changes (Absolute AVG log2 ratio >0.58 and Q value<0.25) in expression levels in at least one-time point compared to day 0. Protein groups were classified into six clusters based on their expression dynamics using k-means clustering. (F) Clusters showing distinct protein abundance dynamics during myogenic differentiation and KEGG pathways enriched (FDR <0.05) in each cluster (Supplementary file 1). (G) Proteins from cluster 2 were chosen according to KEGG pathway annotation: striated muscle contraction and function, motor protein activity and cytoskeletal dynamics. The protein–protein interaction network was visualized with STRING (Szklarczyk et al., 2011), edge confidence: medium 0.4.

Primary myoblasts were first seeded and then transfected with siRNA against LMOD1 or SIRT1 or siCtrl.

Paired t-test *: p-value ≤ 0.05 ***: p-value ≤ 0.001. For all bar plots, each symbol represents a biological replicate, and the error bars indicate the SD. (F) Working model: During the proliferation stage, SIRT1 is found in the nucleus, repressing the expression of myogenic regulating factors. However, at the onset of myogenic differentiation, LMOD1 interacts with SIRT1 and affects its subcellular localization, leading to decreased levels of SIRT1 in the nucleus. This reduction in SIRT1 levels results in the de-repression of MRFs and the initiation of differentiation.

LMOD1 appears to accumulate at the ends of elongated myocytes and co-localizes with actin structures (highlighted in boxes), suggesting a potential role in myotube elongation and guidance during differentiation.
