Spatial transcriptomics in embryonic mouse diaphragm muscle reveals regional gradients and subdomains of developmental gene expression

The murine embryonic diaphragm is a primary model for studying myogenesis and neuro-muscular synaptogenesis, both representing processes regulated by spatially organized genetic programs of myonuclei located in distinct myodomains. However, a spatial gene expression pattern of embryonic mouse diaphr...

Zusammenfassung:The murine embryonic diaphragm is a primary model for studying myogenesis and neuro-muscular synaptogenesis, both representing processes regulated by spatially organized genetic programs of myonuclei located in distinct myodomains. However, a spatial gene expression pattern of embryonic mouse diaphragm has not been reported. Here, we provide spatially resolved gene expression data for horizontally sectioned embryonic mouse diaphragms at embryonic days E14.5 and E18.5. These data reveal gene signatures for specific muscle regions with distinct maturity and fiber type composition, as well as for a central neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and a peripheral myotendinous junction (MTJ) compartment. Comparing spatial expression patterns of wild-type mice with those of transgenic mice lacking either the skeletal muscle calcium channel CaV1.1 or β-catenin, reveals curtailed muscle development and dysregulated expression of genes potentially involved in NMJ formation. Altogether, these datasets provide a powerful resource for further studies of muscle development and NMJ formation in the mouse.
