Zfp422 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation by regulating EphA7 to induce appropriate myoblast apoptosis

Abstract: Zinc finger protein 422 (Zfp422) is a widely expressed zinc finger protein that serves as a transcriptional factor to regulate downstream gene expression, but until now, little is known about its roles in myogenesis. We found here that Zfp422 plays a critical role in skeletal muscle development and regeneration. It highly expresses in mouse skeletal muscle during embryonic development. Specific knockout of Zfp422 in skeletal muscle impaired embryonic muscle formation. Satellite cell-specific Zfp422 deletion se… Show more

“…In addition, accompanied by impaired myogenic differentiation in SelK KO mice and siSelK C2C12 myoblasts, excessive autophagy and apoptosis were identified in our study. Autophagy and apoptosis coexist in early muscle injury throughout regeneration because the former is responsible for cell reprogramming by regulating cytoplasmic remodelling, while the latter eliminates defective cells that do not have differentiation potential [ 49 , 50 ]. The crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy determines the balance of cell survival and death, allowing SCs to differentiate normally [ 51 ].…”

“…In terms of gene expression, Zn can be a mediator on DNA and RNA transcription by the formation of Zn-finger proteins ( ZNF ), which are required for interaction with DNA, RNA, and other proteins, leading to the regulation of cellular processes ( Hostetler et al, 2003 ; Cassandri et al, 2017 ). Previous studies showed that ZNF play a critical role in myogenic synthesis and differentiation with recruiting muscle-specific target genes ( Cassandri et al, 2017 ; Nie et al, 2019 ). Salmon et al (2009) showed that overexpression of ZNF could promote myogenic proliferation and inhibit differentiation.…”

“…DAPI was used to visualize cell nuclei with a fluorescence microscope (DP80; Olympus, Japan). The differentiation index was calculated as the percentage of nuclei in MyHC positive cells, and the fusion index was calculated as the percentage of nuclei in fused myotubes which have two or more nuclei out of the total nuclei 35 …”
