Project description:An important event in the pathogenesis of heart failure is the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. In cultured cardiac cardiomyocytes, the transcription factor Gata4 is required for agonist-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We hypothesized that in the intact organism Gata4 is an important regulator of postnatal heart function and of the hypertrophic response of the heart to pathological stress. To test this hypothesis, we studied mice heterozygous for deletion of the second exon of Gata4 (G4D). At baseline, G4D mice had mild systolic and diastolic dysfunction associated with reduced heart weight and decreased cardiomyocyte number. After transverse aortic constriction (TAC), G4D mice developed overt heart failure and eccentric cardiac hypertrophy, associated with significantly increased fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Inhibition of apoptosis by overexpression of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor prevented TAC-induced heart failure in G4D mice. Unlike WT-TAC controls, G4D-TAC cardiomyocytes hypertrophied by increasing in length more than width. Gene expression profiling revealed upregulation of genes associated with apoptosis and fibrosis, including members of the TGF? pathway. Our data demonstrate that Gata4 is essential for cardiac function in the postnatal heart. After pressure overload, Gata4 regulates the pattern of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and protects the heart from load-induced failure. Keywords: genetic modification, pressure overload stress response

After pressure overload, Gata4 regulates the pattern of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and protects the heart from load-induced failure. Experiment Overall Design: We reasoned that if Gata4 was a crucial regulator of pathways necessary for cardiac hypertrophy, then modest reductions of Gata4 activity should result in an observable cardiac phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we used gene targeted mice that express reduced levels of Gata4. We characterized these mice at baseline and after pressure Experiment Overall Design: overload.

Project description:Background. Mutations in ATP1A2 gene encoding the Na,K-ATPase α2 isoform is associated with familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2). Migraine with aura is a known risk factor for heart disease. The Na,K-ATPase is important for cardiac function but its role for heart disease remains unknown. We hypothesized that ATP1A2 is a susceptibility gene for heart disease and aimed to assess the underlying disease mechanism. Methods and Results. Mice heterozygous for the FHM2-associated G301R mutation in the Atp1a2 gene (α2+/G301R mice) and matching wild type (WT) controls were compared. Reduced expression of the Na,K-ATPase α2 isoform and increased expression of the α1 isoform was observed in hearts from α2+/G301R mice (Western blot). Left ventricular dilation and reduced ejection fraction was shown in hearts from 8-month-old α2+/G301R mice (cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) and this was associated with reduced nocturnal blood pressure (radiotelemetry). Cardiac function and blood pressure of 3-month-old α2+/G301R mice were similar to WT mice. Amplified Na,K-ATPase-dependent Src/Ras/Erk1/2 signaling was observed in hearts from 8-month-old α2+/G301R mice and this was associated with mitochondrial uncoupling (respirometry), increased oxidative stress (malonedialdehyde measurements), and a heart failure-associated metabolic shift (hyperpolarized magnetic resonance). Mitochondrial membrane potential was similar between the groups (JC-1 dye assay). Proteomics of heart tissue further suggested amplified Src/Ras/Erk1/2 signaling and increased oxidative stress and provided the molecular basis for systolic dysfunction in 8-month-old α2+/G301R mice. Conclusions. Our findings suggest that ATP1A2 mutation leads to disturbed cardiac metabolism and reduced cardiac function mediated via Na,K-ATPase-dependent ROS signaling through the Src/Ras/Erk1/2 pathway.

Project description:Mutations in CHCHD10, a mitochondrial protein with undefined functions, are associated with autosomal dominant mitochondrial diseases. Chchd10 knock-in mice harboring a heterozygous S55L mutation (equivalent to human pathogenic S59L) develop a fatal mitochondrial cardiomyopathy caused by CHCHD10 aggregation and proteotoxic mitochondrial integrated stress response (mtISR). In mutant hearts, mtISR is accompanied by a metabolic rewiring characterized by increased reliance on glycolysis rather than fatty acid oxidation. To counteract this metabolic rewiring, heterozygous S55L mice were subjected to chronic high fat diet (HFD) to decrease insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake and enhance fatty acid utilization in the heart. HFD ameliorated the ventricular dysfunction of mutant hearts and significantly extended the survival of mutant female mice affected by severe pregnancy-induced cardiomyopathy. Gene expression profiles confirmed that HFD increased fatty acid utilization and ameliorated cardiomyopathy markers. Importantly, HFD also decreased accumulation of aggregated CHCHD10 in the S55L heart, suggesting activation of quality control mechanisms. Overall, our findings indicate that metabolic therapy can be effective in mitochondrial cardiomyopathies associated with proteotoxic stress.

Project description:LRRC10 is a heart-specific gene required for proper cardiac function. The effects of Lrrc10 deletion on gene expression in the embryonic mouse heart was investigated. Pregnant heterozygous Lrrc10 knockout mice (Lrrc10+/-) mated to male heterozygous knockouts (Lrrc10+/-), housed in 12 hour light:12 dark, ad lib feeding and drinking conditions, were sacrificed at embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) and embryonic hearts were dissected for cardiac gene expression analysis. A two color, reference design experiment in which heart RNA from 2 Lrrc10 homozygous knockout embryos (Lrrc10-/-) were pooled and labeled with Cy5 and hybridized according to Agilent protocols against a reference pool of RNA madeup from respective tissue taken from littermate E15.5 wildtype (Lrrc10+/+) hearts and labeled with Cy3.

Project description:Analysis of the roles of Irx3 and Irx5 transcription factors in mouse heart development and postnatal heart function. Results show that show that Irx3 and Irx5 have redundant function in the in the endocardium to regulate atrioventricular canal morphogenesis and outflow tract formation. A postnatal deletion of Irx3 and Irx5 surprisingly results in a restoration of the repolarization gradient that is altered in Irx5 mutant hearts, suggesting a model whereby postnatal Irx3 activity is normally repressed by Irx5. 4 genotypes were analyzed: Irx5+/- (3 samples), Irx3-/-;Irx5+/- (4 samples), Irx5-/- (3 samples), Irx5-/-;Irx3-/- (4 samples). The Irx5+/- samples are the reference.

Project description:Heart failure is a leading cause of death worldwide, and failing heart muscle is marked by increased O-GlcNAcylation (OGN). It is unknown if excessive OGN contributes to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. OGN modifies serines and threonines, total OGN levels follow cellular nutrient and metabolic flux in addition to net activity of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA). We developed new transgenic mouse models with myocardial delimited over-expression of OGA and OGT, and found that OGT transgenic mice developed severe cardiomyopathy and premature death. In contrast, OGA transgenic hearts had normal function, but were resistant to pathological stress. Interbreeding OGA transgenic mice rescued cardiomyopathy and premature death in OGT transgenic mice. RNA Seq and functional studies highlighted disrupted metabolism in hearts from OGT transgenic mice that was rescued by OGA transgenic interbreeding. Here we show excessive OGN causes cardiomyopathy, identify gene programs responsive to pathological OGN, and suggest attenuation of OGN may be an effective therapy for heart failure.

Project description:Adult-onset diseases can be associated with in utero events, but mechanisms for this remain unknown. The polycomb histone methyltransferase, Ezh2, stabilizes transcription by depositing repressive marks during development that persist into adulthood, but its function in postnatal organ homeostasis is unknown. We show that Ezh2 stabilizes cardiac gene expression and prevents cardiac pathology by repressing the homeodomain transcription factor Six1, which functions in cardiac progenitors but is stably silenced upon cardiac differentiation. Ezh2 deletion in cardiac progenitors caused postnatal myocardial pathology and destabilized cardiac gene expression with activation of Six1-dependent skeletal muscle genes. Six1 induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and skeletal muscle gene expression. Furthermore, genetically reducing Six1 levels rescued the pathology of Ezh2-deficient hearts. Thus, Ezh2-mediated repression of Six1 in differentiating cardiac progenitors is essential for stable postnatal heart gene expression and homeostasis. Our results suggest that epigenetic dysregulation in embryonic progenitor cells predisposes to adult disease and dysregulated stress responses. Four samples were analyzed. RNA was obtained from ventricles from two wild type and two Ezh2-deficient hearts.
