Bone morphogenic protein-4 availability in the cardiac microenvironment controls myocardial inflammation and fibrosis - Single nucleus RNA sequencing data from healthy and inflamed murine hearts

ABSTRACT: Myocarditis is a heart condition that causes inflammation and results in the loss of heart muscle cells, often leading to fibrosis (scarring) of the heart tissue and heart failure. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying immune cell control and maintenance of tissue integrity in the inflamed cardiac microenvironment remain elusive. Based on our finding that bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP4) serum concentration was reduced in myocarditis patients in combination with comprehensive single cell and single nucleus RNA sequencing analyses of inflamed murine and human myocardial tissue indicated that BMP4 gradients maintain cardiac tissue homeostasis. Indeed, restoration of BMP signaling through antibody-mediated neutralization of the BMP-inhibitors GREM1 and GREM2 reduced CD4+ T cell-mediated myocardial inflammation and blocked disease progression by reduction of adverse fibrotic remodelling. These results unveil a key function of the BMP4-GREM1/2 axis as promising approach for treating myocardial inflammation and the serious complications of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure.

Bioinformatics Multivariate Analysis Determined a Set of Phase-Specific Biomarker Candidates in a Novel Mouse Model for Viral Myocarditis

Project description:Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease in the heart and is mainly caused by viral infections. Viral myocarditis has been proposed to be divided into three phases; the acute viral phase, the subacute immune phase, and the chronic cardiac remodeling phase. Although individualized therapy should be applied depending on the phase, no clinical or experimental studies have found biomarkers that distinguish between the three phases of myocarditis. Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) belongs to the genus Cardiovirus, and can cause myocarditis in susceptible mouse strains. Using this novel model for viral myocarditis induced with TMEV, we conducted multivariate analysis including echocardiography, serum troponin and viral RNA titration, and microarray for identifying the biomarker candidates that discriminate the three phases. Using C3H mice infected with TMEV on 4, 7, and 60 days post infection (p.i.), we conducted bioinformatics analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA) of microarray data, since our traditional cardiac and serum assays, including two-way comparison of microarray data, did not lead to the identification of a single biomarker. PCA separated heart samples clearly between the groups of 4, 7, and 60 days p.i. Representative genes contributing to the separation were as follows: 4 and 7 days p.i., innate immunity-related genes, such as Irf7, and Cxcl9; 7 and 60 days p.i., acquired immunity-related genes, such as Cd3g and H2-Aa; and cardiac remodeling-related genes, such as Mmp12 and Gpnmb. Here, sets of molecules, but not a single molecule, identified by the unsupervised PCA, were found to be useful as the phase-specific biomarkers. Five mice were infected with TMEV intraperitoneally and hearvested their hearts on 4, 7, and 60 days post infection, respectively, for RNA isolation and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. As the control groups, age-matched uninfected mice were prepared.

The ion channel Trpc6a regulates the cardiomyocyte regenerative response to mechanical stretch

Project description:Myocardial damage caused for example by cardiac ischemia leads to ventricular volume overload resulting in increased stretch of the remaining myocardium. In adult mammals, these changes trigger an adaptive cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response which, if the damage is extensive, will ultimately lead to pathological hypertrophy and heart failure. Conversely, in response to extensive myocardial damage, cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart and neonatal mice proliferate and completely regenerate the damaged myocardium. We therefore hypothesized that in adult zebrafish, changes in mechanical loading due to myocardial damage may act as a trigger to induce cardiac regeneration. Based, on this notion we sought to identify mechanosensors which could be involved in detecting changes in mechanical loading and triggering regeneration. Here we show using a combination of knockout animals, RNAseq and in vitro assays that the mechanosensitive ion channel Trpc6a is required by cardiomyocytes for successful cardiac regeneration in adult zebrafish. Furthermore, using a cyclic cell stretch assay, we have determined that Trpc6a induces the expression of components of the AP1 transcription complex in response to mechanical stretch. Our data highlights how changes in mechanical forces due to myocardial damage can be detected by mechanosensors which in turn can trigger cardiac regeneration.

cis-regulation of Grem1 during limb development [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation in combination with sequencing (ChIP-seq) was used to identify the interactions of CRMs with key regulators of Grem1 expression, namely SMAD4 (mediating response to BMP signal transduction) and GLI3 (SHH signal transduction). This analysis revealed the presence of a single significantly enriched SMAD4 ChIP-seq peak in CRM2 during initiation of forelimb bud development, when BMP4 is required to initiate/upregulate the Grem1 transcription. During progression of limb development, GLI3 chromatin complexes interact with all enhancers except CRM5. which agrees with the predominant role of SHH-mediated Grem1 regulation during outgrowth and/or GLI3R-mediated repression during termination. Thus, the Grem1 TAD encodes an array of CRM enhancers that integrate inputs from BMP and SHH signaling into the dynamic regulation of Grem1 during limb bud outgrowth.

Titered FOXO overexpression maintains cardiac proteostasis and ameliorates age-associated functional decline

Project description:Heart performance declines with age. Reduced protein quality control (PQC) due to decreased function of the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS), autophagy, and/or chaperone-mediated protein refolding is a likely contributor to age-associated cardiac performance decline. The transcription factor FOXO participates in the regulation of genes involved PQC and a host of other processes. Here, the effect of cardiac-restricted dFOXO overexpression was investigated in Drosophila, a genetically pliable and rapidly aging model. Modest dFOXO overexpression in the heart was protective, ameliorating functional decline with age. Increased expression of genes associated predominantly with UPS relative to other PQC components accompanied dFOXO-mediated cardioprotection, which was corroborated by a significant decrease in ubiquitinated myocardial proteins. In agreement, knockdown of upregulated UPS components seemingly induced premature aging. Despite these findings, excessive dFOXO overexpression or knockdown proved detrimental to heart function and overall organismal development. This study highlights Drosophila as a model of cardiac aging and FOXO as a tightly-regulated mediator of proteostasis and heart performance over time. Two replicates of 4 different samples were analyzed. Two of these samples were controls (GMH5 x yw 1 week and GMH5 x yw 5 week).

BMP4 triggers regulatory circuits specifying the cardiac mesoderm lineage

Project description:Cardiac lineage specification in the mouse is controlled by TGFβ and WNT signaling. From fly to fish, BMP has been identified as an indispensable heart inducer. A detailed analysis of the role of Bmp4 and its effectors Smad1/5, however, was still missing. We show that Bmp4 induces cardiac mesoderm formation in murine embryonic stem cells in vitro. Bmp4 first activates Wnt3 and upregulates Nodal. pSmad1/5 and the WNT effector Tcf3 form a complex, and together with pSmad2/3 activate mesoderm enhancers and Eomes. They then cooperate with Eomes to consolidate the expression of many mesoderm factors, including T. Eomes and T form a positive feedback loop and open additional enhancers regulating early mesoderm genes, including the transcription factor Mesp1 establishing the cardiac mesoderm lineage. In parallel, the neural fate is suppressed. Our data confirm the pivotal role of Bmp4 in cardiac mesoderm formation in the mouse. We describe in detail the consecutive and cooperative actions of three signaling pathways, BMP, WNT and Nodal, and their effector transcription factors, during cardiac mesoderm specification.

Hormonal Therapies Upregulate MANF and Overcome Female Susceptibility to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Myocarditis

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been increasingly used in combination for cancer treatment, but are particularly associated with myocarditis. Here, we report that tumor-bearing mice exhibited response to treatment with combinatorial anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death 1) and anti-CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen-4) antibodies but also presented with cardiovascular toxicities observed clinically with ICI therapy, including myocarditis and arrhythmia. Female mice were preferentially affected with myocarditis compared to male mice, consistent with a previously described genetic model of ICI-myocarditis as well as emerging clinical data. Mechanistically, myocardial tissue from ICI-treated mice, the genetic mouse model, and human heart tissue from affected patients with ICI-myocarditis all exhibited downregulation of MANF (Mesencephalic Astrocyte Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and HSPA5 (Heat Shock 70kDa Protein 5) in the heart; this downregulation was particularly striking in female mice. ICI-myocarditis was amplified by heart-specific genetic deletion of mouse Manf and was attenuated by administration of recombinant MANF protein, suggesting a causal role. Ironically, both MANF and HSPA5 were transcriptionally induced by liganded estrogen receptor-βbeta and inhibited by androgen receptor. However, ICI treatment reduced serum estradiol concentration to a greater extent in female compared to male mice. Treatment with an estrogen receptor β-specific agonist as well as androgen depletion therapy attenuated ICI-associated cardiac effects. Taken together, our data suggest that ICI treatment inhibits the estradiol-dependent expression of MANF/HSPA5 in the heart, curtailing the cardiomyocyte response to immune injury. This endocrine-cardiac-immune pathway offers new insights into the mechanisms of sex differences in cardiac disease and may offer treatment strategies for ICI-myocarditis.

Isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy trigger proteome remodeling of mouse cardiomyocytes

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy consists in the enlargement of cardiomyocytes and alteration of the extracellular matrix organization in response to physiological or pathological stress. In pathological hypertrophy ocuurs myocardial damage, loss of cardiomyocytes, fibrosis, inflammation, sarcomere disorganization and metabolic impairment, leading to cardiac dysfunction.The rodent model treated with isoproterenol induces cardiac hypertrophy due the constant activation of β-adrenergic receptors. We conducted a quantitative label-free proteomic analysis of cardiomyocytes isolated from hearts of mice treated or not with isoproterenol to better understand the molecular bases of cellular response due to isoproterenol-induced injury.
