CYP2J2 Modulates Diverse Transcriptional Programs in Adult Human Cardiomyocytes

ABSTRACT: CYP2J2, a member of the Cytochrome P450 family of enzymes, is the most abundant epoxygenase in the heart and has multifunctional properties including bioactivation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which, in turn, have been implicated in mediating several cardiovascular conditions. In order to elucidate the complex role played by CYP2J2 in cardiac tissue, we performed targeted silencing of CYP2J2 expression in human adult cardiomyoctes and interrogated whole genome transcriptional responses. We found that knockdown of CYP2J2 elicits widespread alterations in gene expression of ventricular cardiomyocytes and leads to the activation of a diverse repertoire of programs, including those involved in ion channel signaling, development, extracellular matrix, and metabolism. Several members of the differentially up-regulated ion channel module have well-known pathogenetic roles in cardiac dysrhythmias. By leveraging causal network and upstream regulator analysis, we identified several candidate drivers of the observed transcriptional response to CYP2J2 silencing; these master regulators have been implicated in aberrant cardiac remodeling, heart failure, and myocyte injury and repair. Collectively, our study demonstrates that CYP2J2 plays a central and multifaceted role in cardiomyocyte homeostasis, and provides a framework for identifying critical regulators and pathways influenced by this gene.

Developmental gene expression differences between neonatal and adult mouse atria and ventricles

Project description:We study the role of glycosylation in ion channel function. Specfically, we are focusing on how ion channel glycosylation modulates, controls, and impacts cardiac, skeletal muscle, and neuronal electrical activity. We wish to determine differences in gene expression through development and between the atria and ventricles of the mouse heart. Our data indicate differential sialylation directly affects voltage-gated sodium channel function through the developing heart in a chamber-specific manner. We wish to expand our findings to include other ion channels involved in the cardiac action potential, and to eventually create a map of the cardiac conduction system that details the role of differential glycosylation in cardiac excitability. Determining differential expression of the genes that regulate ion channel glycosylation is vital to these goals.

Identification of cardiac ion channel protein networks and their signature in the human electrocardiogram

Project description:Protein-protein interactions are essential for normal cellular processes and signaling events. Defining these interaction networks is therefore crucial for understanding complex cellular functions and interpretation of disease-associated gene variants. We need to build a comprehensive picture of the interactions, their affinities and interdependencies in the specific organ and cell-type to understand hitherto poorly understood signaling mechanism through ion channels and to begin their mechanistic studies. Here, we experimentally identify the ensemble of interacting partners for 13 types of ion channel in murine cardiac tissue to understand their role in cardiomyocyte electrophysiology. Of these, we validated the functional importance of 10 novel interactors on cardiac electrophysiology through genetic knockouts in zebrafish, super resolution microscopy, and patch clamp experiments. Furthermore, we establish a computational framework to reconstruct human cardiomyocyte ion channel networks from deep proteome mapping of human heart tissue and human heart single-cell gene-expression data. Finally, we integrate the ion channel interactome with human population genetics data to identify proteins that influence the electrocardiogram (ECG). The combined channel network is enriched for proteins influencing the ECG; with 44% of the network proteins significantly associated with an ECG phenotype. Altogether, we comprehensively define the interactomes of 13 major cardiac ion channels, contextualize their relevance to human electrophysiology including impact on the ECG, and validate the functional roles of ten novel interactors, thereby creating a roadmap for our understanding of how ion channel interactomes regulate cardiac electrophysiology.

Co-expression of calcium channels and delayed rectifier potassium channels protects the heart from proarrhythmic events [Figure 2 mRNA data]

Project description:Analysis of rhythmonome gene expression in cardiac myocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells Cardiac electrical activity is controlled by the carefully orchestrated activity of more than a dozen different ion conductances. Yet, there is considerable variability in cardiac ion channel expression levels both within and between subjects. In this study we tested the hypothesis that variations in ion channel expression between individuals are not random but rather there are modules of co-expressed genes and that these modules make electrical signaling in the heart more robust. Meta-analysis of 3653 public RNA-Seq datasets identified a strong correlation between expression of CACNA1C (L-type calcium current, ICaL) and KCNH2 (rapid delayed rectifier K+ current, IKr), which was verified in mRNA extracted from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM). In silico modeling, validated with functional measurements in hiPSC-CM, indicates that the co-expression of CACNA1C and KCNH2 limits the variability in action potential duration and reduces susceptibility to early afterdepolarizations, a surrogate marker for pro-arrhythmia.

Macrophage epoxygenase determines a pro-fibrotic transcriptomesignature

Project description:Epoxygenases belong to the cytochrome P450 family and they generate epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) known to have anti-inflammatory effects but little is known about their role in macrophage function. By high-throughput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) in primary macrophages derived fromrodents and humans, we establish the relative expression of epoxygenases in these cells. Zinc-finger nuclease-mediated targeted gene deletion of the major rat macrophage epoxygenase Cyp2j4 (orthologue of human CYP2J2),resulted inreduced EET synthesis. Cyp2j4-/-macrophages have relatively increased PPARγ levels and show a pro-fibrotic transcriptome,displayingover-expression of a specific subset of genes (260 transcripts) primarily involved in extracellular matrix, with fibronectin being the most abundantly expressed transcript.Fibronectin expression is under the control of epoxygenase activity in human and rat primary macrophages. In keeping with the invitro findings, Cyp2j4-/- rats show up-regulation of type I collagen following unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) of the kidney and quantitative proteomics analysis (LC-MS/MS) showed increased renal type I collagen and fibronectin protein abundance resulting from experimentally induced crescentic glomerulonephritis in these rats. Taken together, these results identify the rat epoxygenase Cyp2j4 as a determinant of a pro-fibrotic macrophage transcriptome that could have implications in various inflammatory conditions depending on macrophage function.

Characterizing the global changes in miRNA expression in human atrial appendages with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac rhythm disorder, is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. AF is characterized by the rapid and irregular activation of the atrium with diverse abnormalities, including electrical, structural, metabolic, neurohormonal, or molecular alterations.3 Although the pathophysiology of AF is complex, it has traditionally been treated with antiarrhythmic drugs that control the rhythm by altering cardiac electrical properties, principally by modulating ion channel function. However, treatments of AF with antiarrhythmic drugs have mostly failed to control the heart rhythm, because the electrical characteristics of atrial cardiomyocytes are eventually altered or remodeled during the course of AF. The aims of this study were to characterize the global changes in miRNA expression in human atrial appendages and to identify the target ion channel(s) responsible for electrical remodeling in AF. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of miRNA microarrays, using a strict selection for human samples.

Molecular Remodeling of Ion Channels in Human Atrial and Ventricular Myocytes Associated with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Project description:Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) leads to congestive heart failure and can cause sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia. Existing molecular knowledge base of ICM is rudimentary because of lack of specific attribution to cell type and function. This study was designed to investigate cell-specific molecular remodeling of ion channels, exchangers and pumps, which are signaling molecules (SM) involved in electrical, signaling and mechanical functions of the heart. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were isolated by laser-capture microdissection from left atrium and ventricle of healthy and ICM human hearts. SM and their splice variants altered by ICM in cardiomyocytes were identified by splice microarray and validated by RT-PCR. Molecular profiling of ICM-related changes showed that SM in atrial and ventricular myocytes remodel following their unique programs. ICM affected 63 genes in ventricular myocytes and 12 genes in atrial myocytes. Only few of the identified genes were previously linked to human cardiac disfunctions. In our experiments we used 3 healthy hearts rejected from transplantation procedure and explanted ICM hearts from three male patients. Tissue samples were dissected from left ventricle and left atrial appendages. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were laser-capture microdissected from serial 7-8-Âµm thick cryostat sections. Individual cellular total RNA samples were analyzed on custom-built Human Ion Channel Splice Arrays slides (ExonHit) manufactured on the Ion Channel Splice Array sv1.1 platform representing 287 human SM, including 248 alternatively spliced ones in total 1655 splicing events and supplemented with capabilities to recognize connexins and ryanodine receptors.

Therapeutic inhibition of acid sensing ion channel 1a recovers heart function after ischemia-reperfusion injury

Project description:Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major risk factors implicated in morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. During cardiac ischemia, the build-up of acidic metabolites results in decreased intracellular and extracellular pH that can reach as low as 6.0–6.5. The resulting tissue acidosis exacerbates ischemic injury and significantly impacts cardiac function. Methods and Results: We show that acid sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) plays a key role during cardiac ischemia and demonstrate that ASIC1a is a novel therapeutic target to improve the tolerance of cardiac tissue to IRI. Analysis of human complex trait genetics indicate that variants in the ASIC1 genetic locus are significantly associated with cerebrovascular ischemic injuries. Using human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes in vitro and murine ex vivo heart models, we demonstrate that genetic ablation of ASIC1a improves cardiomyocyte viability after acute IRI. Therapeutic blockade of ASIC1a using specific and potent pharmacological inhibitors recapitulates this cardioprotective effect. We used an in vivo model of myocardial infarction and two models of ex vivo donor heart procurement and storage as clinical models to show that ASIC1a inhibition improves post-IRI cardiac viability. Use of ASIC1a inhibitors as pre- or post-conditioning agents provided equivalent cardioprotection to benchmark drugs, including the sodium-hydrogen exchange inhibitor zoniporide. At the cellular and whole organ level, we show that acute exposure to ASIC1a inhibitors has no impact on cardiac ion channels regulating baseline electromechanical coupling and physiological performance. Conclusions: Collectively, our data provide compelling evidence for a novel pharmacological strategy involving ASIC1a blockade as a cardioprotective therapy to improve the viability of hearts subjected to IRI.

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.
