Comparison of gene expression data between control and tissue specific epicardial PDGF receptor (a and b) knockout embryonic hearts

ABSTRACT: Epicardial cells undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transtion (EMT) to generate coronary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and cardiac fibroblasts. Little is known about the mechanisms regulating EMT or the in vivo signals directing epicardial-derived cell (EPDC) fate. Here, we show that loss of PDGF signaling leads to a disruption in Sox9 expression, and when Sox9 expression was restored in mutant hearts, the EMT defect was rescued. Interestingly, mutants lacking only one of the PDGF genes exhibited a lineage specific requirement for the individual receptors. Loss of PDGFRα resulted in a deficit in cardiac fibroblast formation, while cVSMC development was unperturbed. Conversely, PDGFRβ was required for cVSMC development but not cardiac fibroblast development. Combined, our data demonstrate a novel role for PDGF receptors in epicardial EMT and EPDC development.

RNA was processed as per manufacturer's instructions (Illumina Gene expression array, Illumina, inc.

<h4>Rationale</h4>In early heart development, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor expression in the heart ventricles is restricted to the epicardium. Previously, we showed that PDGFRβ is required for coronary vascular smooth muscle cell (cVSMC) development, but a role for PDGFRα has not been identified. Therefore, we investigated the combined and independent roles of these receptors in epicardial development.<h4>Objective</h4>To understand the contribution of PDGF receptors in epicard ...[more]

Project description:Mammalian heart development is built on highly conserved molecular mechanisms with polygenetic perturbations resulting in a spectrum of congenital heart diseases (CHD). However, the transcriptional landscape of cardiogenic ontogeny that regulates proper cardiogenesis remains largely based on candidate-gene approaches. Herein, we designed a time-course transcriptome analysis to investigate the genome-wide expression profile of innate murine cardiogenesis ranging from embryonic stem cells to adult cardiac structures. This comprehensive analysis generated temporal and spatial expression profiles, prioritized stage-specific gene functions, and mapped the dynamic transcriptome of cardiogenesis to curated pathways. Reconciling the bioinformatics of the congenital heart disease interactome, we deconstructed disease-centric regulatory networks encoded within this cardiogenic atlas to reveal stage-specific developmental disturbances clustered on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), BMP regulation, NF-AT signaling, TGFb-dependent induction, and Notch signaling. Therefore, this cardiogenic transcriptional landscape defines the time-dependent expression of cardiac ontogeny and prioritizes regulatory networks at the interface between health and disease. To interrogate the temporal and spatial expression profiles across the entire genome during mammalian heart development, we designed a time-course microarray experiment using the mouse model at defined stages of cardiogenesis, starting with embryonic stem cells (ESC, R1 stem cell line), early embryonic developmental stages: E7.5 whole embryos, E8.5 heart tubes, left and right ventricle tissues at E9.5, E12.5, E14.5, E18.5 to 3 days after birth (D3) and adult heart (Figure 1A). At each time point, microarray experiments were performed on triplicate biological samples. Starting at E9.5, tissue samples from left ventricles (LV) and right ventricles (RV) were microdissected for RNA purification and microarray analysis to determine spatially differential gene expression between LV and RV during heart development.
