Proteome dynamics reveal Leiomodin 1 as a key regulator of myogenic differentiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During myogenic differentiation, the cellular architecture and proteome of muscle stem cells and myoblasts undergo extensive remodeling. These processes are partially understood and display alterations in disease and aging, resulting in impaired regeneration. Here, we used mass spectrometry to quantify the temporal dynamics of over 6000 proteins during myogenic differentiation. We identified the actin nucleator leiomodin 1 (LMOD1) among a restricted subset of cytoskeletal proteins increasing in abundance during early myogenic differentiation. LMOD1 is expressed by muscle stem cells in vivo and displays increased abundance during skeletal muscle regeneration in mice, particularly during early stages, suggesting its importance in myotube formation. Notably, LMOD1 knockdown in primary myoblasts and during regeneration severely affects differentiation, while its overexpression accelerates and improves myotube initiation. This suggests LMOD1 is a critical component regulating myogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, we show that LMOD1 physically and functionally interacts with the deacetylase sirtuin1 (SIRT1), a regulator of myogenic differentiation. We demonstrate that LMOD1 influences SIRT1 localization and the expression of its target genes. Consistently, depletion or pharmacological inhibition of SIRT1 partially rescues the differentiation impairment observed after LMOD1 knockdown. Our work identifies LMOD1 as a new regulator that might be targeted to improve muscle regeneration in aging and disease.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
