Cardiac organoids reveal mechanisms of human cardiogenesis

ABSTRACT: Self-organisation and coordinated morphogenesis of multiple cardiac lineages is essential for the development and function of the heart. However, the absence of a human in vitro model that mimics the basic lineage architecture of the heart hinders research into developmental mechanisms and congenital defects. Here, we describe the establishment of a reliable, lineage-controlled and high-throughput cardiac organoid platform. We show that cardiac mesoderm derived from human pluripotent stem cells robustly self-organises and differentiates into cardiomyocytes forming a cavity. Co-differentiation of cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells from cardiac mesoderm within these structures is required to form a separate endothelial layer. As in vivo, the epicardium engulfs these cardiac organoids, migrates into the cardiomyocyte layer and differentiates. Thus, the cardiac organoid platform represents a powerful resource for the quantitative and mechanistic analysis of early human cardiogenesis that is otherwise inaccessible.

Cardiac organoids reveal mechanisms of human cardiogenesis

Project description:Self-organisation and coordinated morphogenesis of multiple cardiac lineages is essential for the development and function of the heart1-3. However, the absence of a human in vitro model that mimics the basic lineage architecture of the heart hinders research into developmental mechanisms and congenital defects4. Here, we describe the establishment of a reliable, lineage-controlled and high-throughput cardiac organoid platform. We show that cardiac mesoderm derived from human pluripotent stem cells robustly self-organises and differentiates into cardiomyocytes forming a cavity. Co-differentiation of cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells from cardiac mesoderm within these structures is required to form a separate endothelial layer. As in vivo, the epicardium engulfs these cardiac organoids, migrates into the cardiomyocyte layer and differentiates. We use this model to demonstrate that cardiac cavity formation is controlled by a mesodermal WNT-BMP signalling axis. Disruption of one of the key BMP targets in cardiac mesoderm, the transcription factor HAND1, interferes with cavity formation, which is consistent with its role in early heart tube and left chamber development5. Thus, the cardiac organoid platform represents a powerful resource for the quantitative and mechanistic analysis of early human cardiogenesis and defects that are otherwise inaccessible. Beyond understanding congenital heart disease, cardiac organoids provide a foundation for future translational research into human cardiac disorders.

Single-cell analysis of human iPSC-derived multi-lineage mini-cardiac organoid reveals molecular pathways to promote cardiomyocyte maturation and heart repair

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiovascular cells are promising cell source for cell therapy to repair the heart. Cardiac microtissue consisted of cardiomyocytes and fibroblast cells exhibited much better physiological functions. How different cardiovascular cell types interact and evolve in 3D microenvironment is unknown. In this study, we performed single-cell transcriptome profiling of hiPSC-derived mini-cardiac organoid consisted of cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Our analysis showed that cardiac fibroblasts emerged spontaneously in 3D microenvironment which in turn facilitated the maturation of cardiomyocytes. HiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells assembled into mini-cardiac organoid in collagen-matrigel after 2 weeks. Single-cell study uncovered significant cell fate shift and improvement in cardiomyocyte maturation status upon-multilineage co-culture. Ligand-receptor analysis identified DLK1-Notch signaling to be one of the most upregulated pathways in the fibroblast population. Modulate the activity of DLK1-Notch signaling affected the assembly of the mini-cardiac organoid and the expression of immune regulatory genes. Interestingly, transplantation of trilineage mini-cardiac organoid into a rat model of myocardial infarction leads to significant improvement of cardiac function. Collectively, our single-cell analysis of mini-cardiac organoid provided rich information about cell fate dynamics and multilineage cross-talks occurred in the 3D microenvironment, which bring new insight on the molecular mechanism that promotes cardiomyocyte maturation and heart repair.

Downregulation of WT1 transcription factor gene expression is required to promote myocardial fate [ATAC-seq]

Project description:During cardiac development, cells from the precardiac mesoderm fuse to form the primordial heart tube, which then grows by addition of further progenitors to the venous and arterial poles. In the zebrafish, wilms tumor 1 transcription factor a (wt1a) and b (wt1b) are expressed in the pericardial mesoderm at the venous pole of the forming heart tube. The pericardial mesoderm forms a single layered mesothelial sheet that contributes to further the growth of the myocardium, and forms the proepicardium. Proepicardial cells are subsequently transferred to the myocardial surface and give rise to the epicardium, the outer layer covering the myocardium in the adult heart. wt1a/b expression is downregulated during the transition from pericardium to myocardium, but remains high in proepicardial cells. Here we show that sustained wt1 expression impaired cardiomyocyte maturation including sarcomere assembly, ultimately affecting heart morphology and cardiac function. ATAC-seq data analysis of cardiomyocytes overexpressing wt1 revealed that chromatin regions associated with myocardial differentiation genes remain closed upon wt1b overexpression in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that wt1 represses a myocardial differentiation program. Indeed, a subset of wt1a/b-expressing cardiomyocytes changed their cell adhesion properties, delaminated from the myocardial epithelium, and upregulated the expression of epicardial genes, as confirmed by in vivo imaging. Thus, we conclude that wt1 acts as a break for cardiomyocyte differentiation by repressing chromatin opening at specific genomic loci and that sustained ectopic expression of wt1 in cardiomyocytes can lead to their transformation into epicardial cells.

Analysis of transcriptome changes in Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes

Project description:KMT2D is required in the cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes. Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm (Mesp1Cre) is embryonic lethal at E10.5 and mutants have hypoplastic hearts; Kmt2d deletion in anterior heart field precursors (Mef2cAHF::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E13.5 and mutants have defects in septation of outflow tract and interventricular septum (IVS); Kmt2d deletion in cardiomyocytes (Tnnt2::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E14.5 and mutants have defects in IVS septation and compact myocardium. The goal of this study is to compare changes in gene expression in these Kmt2d conditional deletion mutants and understand common or distinct pathways dysregulated in absence of KMT2D. Whole genome gene expression analysis was performed on RNA isolated from control and mutant embryonic hearts (or right ventricles and outflow tract for anterior heart field deletion samples). Libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq Paired-End Cluster Kit v3, and sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system for pair-ended 100 base pairs (PE 100 bp).

The atlas of the human hypertrophied heart reveals impaired cell communication

Project description:Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a leading cause of heart failure. The understanding of disease mechanisms is primarily based on experimental models, but knowledge of the full repertoire of cardiac cells and their gene expression profiles in the human heart is missing. Here, using large-scale single-nucleus transcriptomes, we highlight the transcriptional response of cardiomyocytes to pressure overload in humans with stenosis of the aortic valve and disclose major alterations in cellular cross-talk. Cardiomyocytes showed a reduction of incoming connections with endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Particularly Eph receptor tyrosine kinases, including the predominant EPHB1 gene, were significantly down-regulated in cardiomyocytes of the hypertrophied heart. We compared 5 AS patients to healthy patients from the human heart cell ATLAS (https://www.heartcellatlas.org). This repository contains the processed files from the single nuclei RNA-SEQ.

ZEB2 protects the heart from ischemic damage

Project description:infarct size and subsequent deterioration in function. The identification of factors that enhance cardiac repair by the restoration of the vascular network is, therefore, of great significance. Here, we show that the transcription factor Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) is increased in stressed cardiomyocytes and induces a cardioprotective cross-talk between cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells to enhance angiogenesis after ischemia. Single-cell sequencing indicates ZEB2 to be enriched in injured cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of ZEB2 results in impaired cardiac contractility and infarct healing post-myocardial infarction (post-MI), while cardiomyocyte-specific ZEB2 overexpression improves cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac function. We identified Thymosin 4 (TMSB4) and Prothymosin (PTMA) as main paracrine factors released from cardiomyocytes to stimulate angiogenesis by enhancing endothelial cell migration, and whose regulation is validated in our in vivo models. Therapeutic delivery of ZEB2 to cardiomyocytes in the infarcted heart induces the expression of TMSB4 and PTMA, which enhances angiogenesis and prevents cardiac dysfunction. These findings reveal ZEB2 as a beneficial factor during ischemic injury, which may hold promise for the identification of new therapies.

YAP-TEAD multiphasic activation regulates pluripotent stem cell mechanics to drive cardiac specification and contractility in pathological heart.

Project description:YAP transcriptional regulator controls cell mechanics by activating genes involved in cell-matrix interaction following extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling and stiffening. YAP is needed for cardiogenesis in mouse but is repressed in adult cardiomyocytes. The protein is reactivated following ischemic insults, although the timing and mechanisms underlying YAP depletion during heart development and the reason for its reactivation are unclear. Here, we combine pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cardiac differentiation, mouse embryo development and human heart tissue analysis to demonstrate that the fine-tuning of cell mechanics, as controlled by YAP multiphasic activation through TEAD transcription, is crucial for mesoderm commitment and cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, by adopting induced PSC models of dilated cardiomyopathy, we prove that YAP-TEAD reactivation in diseased cardiomyocytes empowers calcium handling apparatus and increases cell contractility. Given YAP prompt activation following myocardial infarction, we unveil a novel role for mechanosensing in connecting ECM remodelling to cardiomyocyte function in pathological heart.
