Summary (written by the submitters)
The gene expression pathways leading to muscle pathology in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) remain to be elucidated. This muscular dystrophy is caused by a contraction of an array of tandem 3.3-kb repeats (D4Z4) at 4q35.2. We compared expression of control and FSHD myoblasts and myotubes (three preparations each) on exon microarrays (Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST) and validated FSHD-specific differences for representative genes by qRT-PCR on additional myoblast cell strains.

The FSHD and control myoblasts used for these experiments were shown to grow and differentiate into myotubes equally efficiently as control myoblasts. There were no significant FSHD-control differences in RNA levels for MYOD1 and MYOG at the myoblast and myotube stages and for MYF5 and MYF6 at the myoblast stage. In contrast, 295 other genes were dysregulated at least 2-fold in FSHD vs. control myoblasts (p <0.01, adjusted for multiple comparisons). Remarkably, only 10% of the FSHD-associated gene dysregulation at the myoblast stage was downregulation. At the myotube stage, about ten times as many genes exhibited FSHD-associated downregulated as at the myoblast stage and twice as many genes displayed FSHD-associated upregulation. The FSHD-related changes in RNA levels appear to be due to posttranscriptional as well as transcriptional alterations. Among the prominently dysregulated pathways were signaling and oxidative stress pathways. By comparing expression profiles of control myoblasts and myotubes to each other and to 19 non-muscle cell types profiled identically, our study also revealed many new myogenesis associations for genes not previously annotated as muscle-specific.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need.

All supplementary files ↗
3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE26145_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

What the files usually look like: For arrays the series matrix is normally the normalised expression table you want; the raw array files (CEL and similar) are in the RAW.tar.
