Abstract
AIM: To analyze transcriptomes from muscle tissue and cells to improve our understanding of differences in gene expression and molecular function in cerebral palsy (CP) muscle. METHOD: In this case-control study, eight participants with CP (five males, three females; mean [SD] age 14y 2mo [1y 8mo]) and 11 comparison individuals (eight males, three females; mean [SD] age 14y 0mo [2y 6mo]) were enrolled after informed consent/assent and skeletal muscle was obtained during surgery. RNA was extracted from tissue and from primary satellite cells grown to form myotubes in vitro. RNA sequencing data were analyzed using validated informatics pipelines. RESULTS: Analysis identified expression of 6308 genes in the tissue samples and 7459 in the cultured cells. Significant differential expression between CP and control was identified in 87 genes in the tissue and 90 genes in isolated satellite cell-derived myotube cultures. INTERPRETATION: Both tissue and cell analyses identified differential expression of genes associated with muscle development and multiple pathways of interest. What this paper adds Expression differences were found in muscle tissue and in isolated muscle cells. There was low variability in expression among cells isolated from different muscles. Expression differences suggest complex functional alterations in spastic cerebral palsy.
