Type V Collagen in Scar Tissue Regulates the Size of Scar after Heart Injury.

ABSTRACT: Scar tissue size following myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, yet little is known about factors regulating scar size. We demonstrate that collagen V, a minor constituent of heart scars, regulates the size of heart scars after ischemic injury. Depletion of collagen V led to a paradoxical increase in post-infarction scar size with worsening of heart function. A systems genetics approach across 100 in-bred strains of mice demonstrated that collagen V is a critical driver of postinjury heart function. We show that collagen V deficiency alters the mechanical properties of scar tissue, and altered reciprocal feedback between matrix and cells induces expression of mechanosensitive integrins that drive fibroblast activation and increase scar size. Cilengitide, an inhibitor of specific integrins, rescues the phenotype of increased post-injury scarring in collagen-V-deficient mice. These observations demonstrate that collagen V regulates scar size in an integrin-dependent manner.

Type V collagen in scar tissue regulates the size of scar after heart injury

Project description:The mammalian heart possesses a poor ability to regenerate after acute ischemic cardiac injury and lost cardiac muscle is replaced by scar tissue. Multiple clinical studies demonstrate that the size of scar tissue following myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, yet little is known about factors that regulate the size of scar after ischemic cardiac injury. In this report, we demonstrate that collagen V, a fibrillar collagen and a minor constituent of heart scars regulates the size of heart scars after ischemic cardiac injury. Depletion of collagen V in heart scars in two independent animal models led to a significant and paradoxical increase in post infarction scar tissue size with worsening of heart function. A systems genetics approach analyzing genes versus traits across 100 in-bred strains of mice independently demonstrated that collagen V is a critical driver of post injury heart function. We show that collagen V deficiency alters the ultra-structure and mechanical properties of scar tissue that make it more vulnerable to expansion. There is altered reciprocal feedback between matrix and cells that induce expression of specific mechanosensitive integrins which drive fibroblast activation and increased ECM gene expression. Scar size increases. Administration of cilengitide, an inhibitor of specific integrins, completely rescues the phenotype of increased post injury scarring, myofibroblast formation and cardiac dysfunction in collagen V deficient mice. These observations demonstrate that collagen V, a structural constituent of heart scar tissue regulates scar size in an integrin dependent manner.

Macrophages directly contribute collagen to scar formation during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair

Project description:The adult mammalian heart heals after myocardial infarction (MI) by deposition of scar tissue, leading to downstream arrhythmia, remodelling and heart failure1. In contrast, adult zebrafish and neonatal mouse hearts are capable of regenerating after injury. Macrophages are key mediators of tissue repair and appear to be required for both regeneration and healing by scar formation, but the mechanisms underlying these distinct roles are poorly understood2-4. Here we investigated how macrophages differentially influence the mode of repair by determining their responses in scar-free versus scar-induced healing, comparing ventricular resection with cryo-injured adult zebrafish hearts and neonatal versus adult mouse hearts after MI. Unbiased transcriptomics revealed molecular programmes implicating macrophages in the initiation and resolution of inflammation to dictate the kinetics of scarring during zebrafish regeneration and the activation of direct and indirect pathways to drive fibrosis in the adult mouse heart. Most notably we observed up-regulation of collagen isoforms in both zebrafish and mouse macrophages following injury. Adoptive transfer of macrophages, from resected zebrafish hearts into cryo-injured hosts and splenic monocyte-derived macrophages from adult mouse donors into neonatal hearts, enhanced scar formation and induced fibrosis, respectively, via cell autonomous production of collagen. In zebrafish, macrophage-specific targeting of collagen 4a binding protein and cognate collagen 4a1 followed by transfer led to significantly reduced scarring in cryo-injured hosts, as further evidence of a direct macrophage contribution to collagen deposition and scar formation. These findings contrast with the current model of scarring, whereby collagen is laid down exclusively by myofibroblasts, and implicate macrophages as critical regulators of heart repair.

Macrophages directly contribute collagen to scar formation during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair

Project description:Canonical roles for macrophages in mediating the fibrotic response after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) include turnover of the extracellular matrix and activation of cardiac fibroblasts to initiate collagen deposition. Here we reveal through studying the functional kinetics of fibrosis during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair that macrophages can directly contribute collagen to the forming scar. Unbiased transcriptomics revealed an up-regulation of collagen isoforms in both zebrafish and mouse macrophages following injury. Adoptive transfer of macrophages from collagen-tagged transgenic zebrafish and splenic monocyte-derived macrophages from adult mouse GFPtpz-collagen donors, enhanced scar formation and induced fibrosis, respectively, via cell autonomous production of collagen. In zebrafish, macrophage-specific targeting of collagen 4a binding protein and cognate collagen 4a1 followed by transfer led to significantly reduced scarring in cryo-injured hosts. These findings contrast with the current model of scarring whereby collagen deposition is exclusively attributed to myofibroblasts, and implicate macrophages as direct contributors to fibrosis during heart repair.
