In conclusion, alfa-thujone-induced apoptosis and accounting mechanisms, which were mediated by ROS and driven by Pca1, were clarified in the unicellular model, S. pombe. © FEMS 2020.Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a prevalent, inherited skeletal myopathy linked to hypomethylation of the D4Z4 macrosatellite at chromosome 4q35. This epigenetic de-repression permits expression of the transcription factor DUX4, which may drive pathology by direct activation of target genes, or through inhibition of the homologous transcription factor PAX7. We demonstrated that PAX7 target gene repression is a superior biomarker of FSHD status, compared to DUX4 target gene expression. However, despite importance for clinical trials, there remains no transcriptomic biomarker for FSHD progression. A recent study by Wong et al., 2020 performed MRI, muscle biopsy transcriptomics and histopathology on a cohort of FSHD patients with one year follow up. No significant changes in any biomarkers were reported over this time period. However, the authors did not consider PAX7 target gene repression as a marker of FSHD progression. Here we demonstrate that PAX7 target gene repression increases in these paired FSHD samples from year 1 to year 2, and is thus a marker of FSHD progression over one year. Moreover, we show that 3 validated DUX4 target gene expression biomarkers are not associated with FSHD progression over one year. We further confirm that PAX7 target gene repression associates with clinical correlates of FSHD disease activity, measured by MRI and histopathology. Thus, PAX7 target gene repression is a uniquely sensitive biomarker of FSHD progression and pathology, valid over a one year time frame, implicating its use in clinical trials. © The Author(s) 2020.
