| Summary |
Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2, also known as SMAD interacting protein 1 or Zfhx1b) protein is a transcription factor involved in the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) signaling pathways. ZEB2 is a two-handed zinc-finger closely related to ZEB1 (ZFHX1a/δEF1) and it is present in many tissues including cardiac and skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscle development and adult myogenesis are regulated by helix-loop-helix proteins, including MyoD, Myf5, myogenin and MRF-4. It has been shown that ZEB1 (ZFHX1a/δEF1) competes with the myogenic regulatory factors for their consensus sequences on some target genes during muscle differentiation, however the role of ZEB2 in myogenesis is still unknown. In the present study, we evaluated the myogenic potential of Zeb2-null and R26_Zeb2 mouse embryonic stem cells by single-cell RNA-sequencing and tested muscle engraftment capability of the respective myogenic progenitors. Our results support the implication of Zeb2 in promoting myogenesis in pluripotent stem cells and myogenic progenitors by modulating specific genes encoding components of the TGFβ/BMP signaling system.

| Overall design |
We investigate the role of Zeb2 in skeletal muscle differentiation using genetic tools, transgenic mouse embryonic stem cells together with single-cell RNA-sequencing and in vivo muscle engraftment capability.
