CRISPR activation of endogenous genes reprograms fibroblasts into cardiovascular progenitor cells

ABSTRACT: In this study, we determine whether direct activation of endogenous loci by targeting the genomic DNA (using a CRISPRa system) can fulfill reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiac progenitors. Core promoter regions of Gata4, Nkx2-5, and Tbx5 were targeted by the CRISPRa (Synergistic Activation Mediator) in mouse tail tip fibroblasts (TTFs). RNA sequencing was performed to characterize the transcriptome of the transfected fibroblasts and reprogrammed cells. These data indicate that our CRISPRa approaches can induce cardiac reprogramming and establish a gene network for heart development.

Enhanced cardiac reprogramming by Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4 signaling

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming from fibroblasts can be a promising approach for disease modeling, drug screening, and cardiac regeneration in pediatric and adult patients. However, postnatal and adult fibroblasts are less efficient for reprogramming compared with embryonic fibroblasts, and barriers to cardiac reprogramming associated with aging remain undetermined. In this study, we screened 8,400 chemical compounds, and found that diclofenac sodium (diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, greatly enhanced cardiac reprogramming in combination with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT plus Hand2. Intriguingly, diclofenac promoted cardiac reprogramming in mouse postnatal and adult tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs), but not in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Mechanistically, diclofenac enhanced cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4, cyclic AMP/protein kinase A, and interleukin 1b pathway, silencing inflammatory and fibroblast programs, which were activated in postnatal and adult TTFs. Thus, anti-inflammation can be a new target for cardiac reprogramming associated with aging.

Development of gene expression signatures for identifying novel factors that can overcome age-associated reprogramming barriers

Project description:To investigate the molecular features underlying senescence and rejuvenation during aged cell reprogramming and identify novel factors that can overcome age-associated barriers, we compared gene expression for reprogramming intermediates on D8 of tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs) from young Wild Type (WT), old WT, and old p16 knockout (KO) mice. We collected TTFs from young WT, old WT, and old p16 KO mice and reprogrammed the cells by introducing four reprogramming factors, including Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. Gene expression of reprogramming intermediates on D8 were compared. Two independent experiments were performed using different mice donors for each experiment.

Chromatin Remodeling Complex Dosage Modulates Transcription Factor Function in Heart Development

Project description:Dominant mutations in cardiac transcription factor genes cause human inherited congenital heart defects (CHDs), but their molecular basis is not understood. Transcription factors and Brg1/Brm-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex interactions suggest potential mechanisms, but the role of BAF complexes in cardiogenesis is not known. Here we show that dosage of Brg1 is critical for mouse and zebrafish cardiogenesis. Disrupting the balance between Brg1 and disease-causing cardiac transcription factors, including Tbx5, Tbx20, and Nkx2-5, causes severe cardiac anomalies, revealing an essential allelic balance between Brg1 and these cardiac transcription factor genes. This suggests that relative levels of transcription factors and BAF complexes are important for heart development, which is supported by reduced occupancy of Brg1 at cardiac genes in Tbx5 haploinsufficient hearts. Our results reveal complex dosage-sensitive interdependence between transcription factors and BAF complexes, providing a potential mechanism underlying transcription factor haploinsufficiency, with implications for multigenic inheritance of CHDs. We performed transcriptional profiling of E11.5 hearts from mice heterozygous for deletions of Brg1, Tbx5, or Nkx2-5, and mice that were compound heterozygotes for Brg1 and each transcription factor gene (Tbx5 and Nkx2-5).

Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into a cardiovascular tissue

Project description:Purpose: To explore detailed transcriptome changes during the transition from fibroblasts toward cardiac cells Methods: We performed single-cell RNA-seq on MTTFs (11,580 cells) and MTTFs treated with MAB for 6 days (12,261 cells). In MTTFs, the mean reads and mediam genes per cell were 53,107 and 5,096, respectively; In reprogrammed cells, the mean reads and medium genes per cell were 100,515 and 6,164, respectively. Result & Conclusion: Single-cell RNA-seq studies demonstrate a simultaneous reprogramming of mouse tail-tip fibroblasts (MTTFs) by MAB into CMs, Ecs and SMCs.

Robust Cardiac Reprogramming Systems with Selectivity to Cardiac Fibroblasts

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming to induce cardiomyocyte-like cells, e.g. by GMT (Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5), is a promising route for regenerating damaged heart in vivo and disease modeling in vitro. Supplementation with additional factors and chemical agents can enhance efficiency but raises concerns regarding selectivity to cardiac fibroblasts and complicates delivery for in situ cardiac reprogramming. Here, we screened 2000 chemicals with known biological activities and found that a combination of 2C (SB431542 and Baricitinib) significantly enhances cardiac reprogramming by GMT. Without Gata4, MT (Mef2c and Tbx5) plus 2C could selectively reprogram cardiac fibroblasts with enhanced efficiency, kinetics and cardiomyocyte function. More importantly, 2C+MYOCD selectively reprograms human cardiac fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte-like cells. 2C enhances cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting Alk5, Tyk2 and downregulating Oas2, Oas3, Serpina3n and Tgfbi. 2C thus enables selective and robust cardiac reprogramming that can greatly facilitate disease modeling in vitro and advance clinical therapeutic heart regeneration in vivo.

Gene expression in mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, reprogramming failed GFP- cells, and GFP+ iCMs

Project description:The reprogramming of fibroblast cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells raises the possibility that a somatic cell could be reprogrammed to an alternative differentiated fate without first becoming a stem/progenitor cell. A large pool of fibroblast cells exists in the post-natal heart, yet no single “master regulator” of direct cardiac reprogramming has been identified. Here, we report that a combination of three developmental transcription factors (i.e., Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5) rapidly and efficiently reprogrammed post-natal cardiac or tail-tip fibroblasts directly into differentiated cardiomyocyte-like cells. Induced cardiomyocytes expressed cardiac-specific markers, had a global gene expression profile similar to cardiomyocytes, and contracted spontaneously. Fibroblast cells transplanted into mouse hearts one day after transduction of the three factors also differentiated into cardiomyocyte-like cells. These findings demonstrate that functional cardiomyocytes can be directly reprogrammed from differentiated somatic cells by defined factors. Reprogramming of endogenous or explanted fibroblast cells might provide a source of cardiomyocytes for regenerative approaches.

The histone reader PHF7 cooperates with the SWI/SNF complex at cardiac super-enhancers to promote direct cardiac reprogramming

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes presents an attractive therapeutic strategy to restore cardiac function following injury. Cardiac reprogramming was initially achieved through the overexpression of the transcription factors Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT), and later, Hand2 (GHMT) and Akt1 (AGHMT) were found to further enhance this process. Yet, staunch epigenetic barriers severely limit the ability of these cocktails to reprogram adult fibroblasts. We undertook a screen of mammalian gene regulatory factors to discover novel regulators of cardiac reprogramming in adult fibroblasts and identified the histone reader PHF7 as the most potent activating factor. Mechanistically, PHF7 localizes to cardiac super-enhancers in fibroblasts, and through cooperation with the SWI/SNF complex, increases chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding at these sites. Importantly, PHF7 is the first epigenetic factor found to achieve efficient reprogramming in the absence of Gata4. Here, we highlight the underexplored necessity of cardiac epigenetic modifiers, such as PHF7, in harnessing chromatin remodeling complexes to overcome critical barriers to direct cardiac reprogramming.

Chemical Enhancement of Direct Cardiac Reprogramming In Vitro and In Vivo

Project description:Reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) in situ represents a promising strategy for cardiac regeneration. A combination of three cardiac transcription factors, Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5 (GMT), can convert fibroblasts into iCMs, albeit with low efficiency in vitro. Here, we screened 5,500 compounds in primary cardiac fibroblasts and found that a combination of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β inhibitor SB431542 and the WNT inhibitor XAV939 increased reprogramming efficiency eight-fold when added to GMT-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts. The small-molecules also enhanced the speed and the quality of cell conversion, as we observed beating cells as early as 1 week after reprogramming compared to 6–8 weeks with GMT alone. In vivo, mice exposed to GMT, SB431542, and XAV939 for 2 weeks after myocardial infarction showed significantly improved reprogramming and cardiac function compared to those exposed to only GMT. Human cardiac reprogramming was similarly enhanced upon TGF-b and WNT inhibition and was achieved most efficiently with GMT plus Myocardin. Thus, TGF-β and WNT inhibitors jointly enhance GMT-induced direct cardiac reprogramming from cardiac fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo and provide a more robust platform for cardiac regeneration.
