Single cell RNA-seq analysis reveals the crucial role of Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (Cthrc1) cardiac fibroblasts for ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cardiac fibroblasts have a central role during the ventricular remodeling process associated to different types of cardiac injury. Recent studies have shown that fibroblasts do not respond homogeneously to heart damage, suggesting that the adult myocardium may contain specialized fibroblast subgroups with specific functions. Due to the limited set of bona fide fibroblast markers, a proper characterization of fibroblast population dynamics in response to cardiac damage is still missing. Using single cell RNA-seq we have identified and characterized a fibroblast subpopulation that emerges in response to myocardial infarction (MI) in a murine model. These activated fibroblasts exhibit a clear pro-fibrotic signature, express high levels of the hormone CTHRC1 and of the immunomodulatory co-receptor CD200, and localize to the wounded myocardium. Combining epigenomic profiling with functional assays, we unveil important candidate regulators mediating their response to cardiac damage. We show that the absence of CTHRC1, a top marker of this activated fibroblast subpopulation, results in pronounced lethality due to ventricular rupture within the first week post-myocardial infarction. Finally, we find evidence for the existence of similar mechanisms in a pig pre-clinical model of MI and establish a positive correlation between Cthrc1 levels and cardiac function after MI.

Regulation of gene expression with thyorid hormone in rats with myocardial infarction

Project description:Thyroid hormone improves left ventricular remodeling and cardiac performance after myocardial infarction (MI), but the molecular basis is unknown. This study was designed to detect gene expression changes in left ventricular non-infarcted areas at 4 weeks following myocardial infarction with and without thyroid hormone treatment. The results suggest that altered expression of genes for molecular function and biological process may be involved in the beneficial effects of thyroid hormone treatment following myocardial infarction in rats. MI was produced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in female SD rats. Rats were divided into the following groups: (1) Sham MI, (2) MI, and (3) MI+T4 treatment (T4 pellet 3.3mg, 60 days release, implanted subcutaneously immediately following MI). Four weeks after surgery, total RNA was isolated from left ventricular non-infarcted areas for microarray analysis using the Illumina RatRef-12 Expression BeadChip Platform.

Inactivation of Sox9 in fibroblasts reduces cardiac fibrosis and inflammation in mice after myocardial infarction

Project description:Fibrotic scarring drives the progression of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the development of specific treatment regimens to counteract fibrosis is of high clinical relevance. The transcription factor SOX9 functions as an important regulator during embryogenesis, but recent data point towards an additional causal role in organ fibrosis. We show here that SOX9 is upregulated in the scar after MI in mice. Fibroblast specific deletion of Sox9 ameliorated MI-induced left ventricular dysfunction, dilatation and myocardial scarring in vivo. Unexpectedly, deletion of Sox9 also potently eliminated persisting leukocyte infiltration of the scar in the chronic phase after MI. RNA-sequencing from the infarct scar revealed that Sox9 deletion in fibroblasts resulted in strongly downregulated expression of genes related to extracellular matrix, proteolysis and inflammation. Importantly, Sox9 deletion in isolated cardiac fibroblasts in vitro similarly affected gene expression as in the cardiac scar and prevented their activation and myofibroblast differentiation. Together, our data demonstrate that fibroblast SOX9 functions as a master regulator of cardiac fibrosis and inflammation and might constitute a novel therapeutic target during MI.

Cardiac-specific YAP activation improve cardiac function and survival in an experimental murine MI model

Project description:In this study, we used a cardiac-specific, inducible expression system to activate YAP in adult mouse heart. Activation of YAP in adult heart promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and did not deleteriously affect heart function. Furthermore, YAP activation after myocardial infarction (MI) preserved heart function and reduced infarct size. Using adeno-associated virus subtype 9 (AAV9) as a delivery vector, we expressed human YAP in the murine myocardium immediately after MI. We found that AAV9:hYAP significantly improved cardiac function and mouse survival. AAV9:hYAP did not exert its salutary effects by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Rather, we found that AAV9:hYAP stimulated adult cardiomyocyte proliferation. Gene expression profiling indicated that AAV9:hYAP stimulated cell cycle gene expression, enhanced TGFβ-signaling, and activated of components of the inflammatory response.Cardiac specific YAP activation after MI mitigated myocardial injury after MI, improved cardiac function and mouse survival. These findings suggest that therapeutic activation of hYAP or its downstream targets, potentially through AAV-mediated gene therapy, may be a strategy to improve outcome after MI. Three groups were involved in this study: sham group, AAV9:Luci+MI group and AAV9-YAP+MI group. Each group contained three biological replicates. The sham group had neither myocardial infarction nor AAV injection. The AAV9:Luci +MI(L for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:Luic. The AAV9:hYAP+MI(YAP for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:hYAP. 5 days after MI and AAV injection, the heart apexes were collected and the total RNA were isolated for microarray analysis.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in infarcted and non-infarcted left ventricle from NEIL3-deficient mice subjected to myocardial infarction

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a reparative response involving fibroblast proliferation and differentiation driving extracellular matrix modulation necessary to form a stabilizing scar. Recently, it was shown that a genetic variant of the base excision repair enzyme endonuclease VIII-like 3 (NEIL3) was associated with increased risk of MI in humans. Here, we report elevated myocardial NEIL3 expression in heart failure patients and marked myocardial upregulation of Neil3 following MI in mice, especially in a fibroblast-enriched cell fraction. Neil3-/- mice showed increased mortality after MI compared to WT, caused by myocardial rupture. Neil3-/- hearts displayed enrichment of mutations in genes involved in mitogenesis of fibroblasts and transcriptome analysis revealed dysregulated fibrosis. Correspondingly, proliferation of vimentin+ and aSMA+ (myo)fibroblasts was increased in Neil3-/- hearts following MI. We propose that NEIL3 operates in genomic regions crucial for regulation of cardiac fibroblast proliferation and thereby controls extracellular matrix modulation after MI.

Gene expression of cardiac fibroblasts post-MI

Project description:Cardiac fibroblasts stay relatively quiescent under normal condition. These cells differentiate to myofibroblasts after myocardial infarction (MI), characterized by the expression of contractile proteins and secretion of elevated levels of extracellular matrix proteins, leading to cardiac remodeling. The differentiated myofiroblasts gradually lose most myofibroblast phenotypes but still persist in the infarct area to maintain the tissue structural integrity. We used microarrays to reveal the change in cardiac fibroblast gene expression profile after MI.

Gene expression data from myocardial infarction porcine samples

Project description:The use of cDNA microarrays has made it possible to analyze expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. We employed microarray gene expression profiling of porcine cDNA to compare myocardial gene expression in infarct core and remote myocardium at 1 week (n=3), 4 weeks (n=3), and 6 weeks (n=3) after surgically induced myocardial infarction (MI) and in sham-operated controls (n=3). More than 8,000 cDNA sequences were identified in myocardium that showed differential expression in response to MI. Different temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression were recognized in the infarct core tissue within this large set of data. Microarray gene profiling revealed candidate genes, some of them described for the first time, which elucidate changes in biological processes at different stages after MI. We evaluated temporal gene expression in a porcine model of myocardial infarction by microarray technology. Nine female pigs (Sus scrofa crossbreed Landrace x Large White) weighing 30-40 kg were subjected to experimental MI by a double-ligation of the first marginal branch of the circumflex artery. Animals were randomly sacrificed at 1 week (n=3), 4 weeks (n=3), or 6 weeks (n=3) after MI. Three paired myocardial samples from the infarct core and remote myocardium were analyzed at each time point. Myocardial samples from sham-operated animals (open-chest cardiac exposure without coronary artery ligation; n=3) were included as physiological controls.

Expression data from heart tissues of minipig with myocardial infarction and treated or untreated with myoblast transplantation

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) is a highly prevalent cardiac emergency, which results in adverse left ventricular remodeling exacerbating progressive heart failure. Inflammation in post-MI is necessary for myocyte repair and wound healing. However, it is also a key component of subsequent heart failure pathology. Myoblasts transplantation after MI have been fulfilled a good effect on cardiac repair, but the occasion, complications of transplantation, and the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that myoblast transplantation decreased the expression of many pro-inflammatory genes and the activation of inflammation-related signal pathway in heart tissue of pig post MI, which mainly contributed to the improved heart function and attenuated damage of myocardial cells.
