Alternative splicing contributes to muscle development and differentiation, but the complete set of muscle splicing factors and their combinatorial interactions are not known. Previously work identifies ACUAA (STAR motif) as an enriched sequence near muscle-specific alternative exons such as Capzb exon 9. We did mass spectrometry of proteins selected by wild type and mutant Capzb intron 9 RNA affinity chromatography, and identified Quaking (Qk), a protein known to regulate mRNA function through ACUAA motifs in 3' UTRs. We show that in myoblasts, Qk promotes inclusion of Capzb exon 9 in opposition to repression by PTB. Qk knockdown in myoblasts has little effect on transcript levels, but alters inclusion of 824 cassette exons whose adjacent intron sequences are enriched in ACUAA motifs. During differentiation to myotubes, Qk levels increase 2-3 fold, suggesting a mechanism for Qk-responsive exon regulation. We captured the PTB splicing regulatory network and intersected it with the Qk network, identifying overlap between the functions of Qk and PTB. Approximately 60% of exons whose inclusion is altered during myogenesis appear to be under control of one or both of these splicing factors in myoblasts. This series is the C2C12 differentiation data. It is 9 arrays, 3 timepoints, with 3 replicates. The time points are 0 hrs, 24 hrs, and 72hrs.

PLoS Comput Biol. 2006 Jan;2(1):e4. PMID: 16424921 probe group file: mjay.clf meta-probeset file: mjay.pgf ID_REF = VALUE = Intensity as calculated by AffyPowerTools Amplified, labeled cDNA was produced using the GeneChipM-. Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling and Control Reagents (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions The labeled, amplified cDNA was hybridized overnight to the MJAY Chip (Affymetrix) Differentiation was verified visually by myotube formation and via Western blot to visualize myogenic markers. RNA and protein were isolated either immediately prior to (zero time) or up to 72 hours after addition of differentiation medium. Mouse C2C12 myoblast cells (ATCC) were maintained in DulbeccoM-bM-^@M-^Ys modified EagleM-bM-^@M-^Ys medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen). To induce myogenesis, 1.5 x 105 cells were plated in growth medium (DMEM + 10% FBS) per well in 6-well tissue culture-treated plates (Fisher) 12-18 hours prior to the addition of differentiation medium. Cells were washed once with differentiation medium (DMEM supplemented with 2% horse serum [Invitrogen]) prior to maintenance in the same medium. Media was changed every 24 hours, and myotube formation was visible Ribosomal RNAs were removed from three replicate individual total RNA preparation for each sample using the RiboMinus Transcriptome Isolation Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturers instructions. Chips were washed and labeled using the Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450, and scanned on an Affymetrix GeneChip scanner.
