Knockdown of the Brg1 ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling enzymes in developing zebrafish caused stunted tail formation and altered sarcomeric actin organization, which phenocopies the loss of the microRNA processing enzyme Dicer, or the knockdown of myogenic microRNAs. Furthermore, myogenic microRNA expression and differentiation was blocked in Brg1 conditional myoblasts differentiated ex vivo. The binding of Brg1 upstream of myogenic microRNA sequences correlated with MyoD binding and accessible chromatin structure in satellite cells and myofibers, and it was required for chromatin accessibility and microRNA expression in a tissue culture model for myogenesis. The results implicate ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in myogenic microRNA gene regulation.
在发育中的斑马鱼中敲低 SWI/SNF 染色质重塑酶的 Brg1 ATP 酶亚基导致尾巴形成受阻,并改变了肌节肌动蛋白的组织,这类似于微 RNA 加工酶 Dicer 的缺失,或肌源性微 RNA 的敲低。此外,在体外分化的 Brg1 条件性成肌细胞中,肌源性微 RNA 的表达和分化被阻断。Brg1 在肌源性微 RNA 序列的上游结合与卫星细胞和成肌纤维中的 MyoD 结合和可及染色质结构相关,并且在成肌细胞的组织培养模型中,它对于染色质可及性和微 RNA 表达是必需的。结果表明,ATP 依赖性染色质重塑因子参与肌源性微 RNA 基因调控。
