Project description:Cardiomyocytes undergo significant structural and functional changes after birth, and these fundamental processes are essential for the heart to pump blood to the growing body. However, due to the challenges of isolating single postnatal/adult myocytes, how individual newborn cardiomyocytes acquire multiple aspects of the mature phenotype remains poorly understood. Here we implement large-particle sorting and analyze single myocytes from neonatal to adult hearts. Early myocytes exhibit wide-ranging transcriptomic and size heterogeneity that is maintained until adulthood with a continuous transcriptomic shift. Gene regulatory network analysis followed by mosaic gene deletion reveals that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator-1 signaling, which is active in vivo but inactive in pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, mediates the shift. This signaling simultaneously regulates key aspects of cardiomyocyte maturation through previously unrecognized proteins, including YAP1 and SF3B2. Our study provides a single-cell roadmap of heterogeneous transitions coupled to cellular features and identifies a multifaceted regulator controlling cardiomyocyte maturation.

Project description:Mammalian cardiomyocytes rapidly mature after birth, with hallmarks such as cell-cycle exit, binucleation, and metabolic switch to oxidative phosphorylation of lipids. The causes and transcriptional programs regulating cardiomyocyte maturation are not fully understood yet. Thus, we performed single cell RNA-seq of neonatal and postnatal day 7 rat hearts to identify the key factors for this process and found AP-1 as a key factor to regulate cardiomyocyte maturation. To find the mechanism of AP-1 during cardiomyocyte maturation, we performed RNA-seq analysis of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes and found Ap-1 promote cardiomyocyte maturation by regulating cardiomyocyte metabolism.

Project description:Cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts undergo coordinated maturation after birth, and cardiac fibroblasts are required for postnatal cardiomyocyte maturation in mice. Here, we investigate the role of cardiac fibroblast-expressed Growth Differentiating Factor 10 (GDF10) in postnatal heart development. In neonatal mice, Gdf10 is expressed specifically in cardiac fibroblasts, with its highest expression coincident with onset of cardiomyocytes cell cycle arrest and transition to hypertrophic growth. In neonatal rat ventricular myocyte cultures, GDF10 treatment promotes cardiomyocyte maturation indicated by increased binucleation, downregulation of cell cycle progression genes and upregulation of cell cycle inhibitor genes. GDF10 treatment leads to an increase in cardiomyocyte cell size together with increased expression of mature sarcomeric protein isoforms and decreased expression of fetal cardiac genes. RNAsequencing of GDF10-treated NRVM shows an increase in gene expression related to myocardial maturation, including upregulation of sodium and potassium channel genes. In vivo, loss of Gdf10 leads to a delay in myocardial maturation indicated by a decrease in cardiomyocyte cell size and binucleation as well as increased mitotic activity at postnatal (P) day 7. Further, induction of mature sarcomeric protein isoform gene expression is delayed, and expression of cell cycle progression genes is prolonged. However, by P10 indicators of cardiomyocyte maturation and mitotic activity are normalized in Gdf10-null hearts relative to controls. Together, these results implicate Gdf10 as a novel crosstalk mediator between cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts, required for appropriate timing of cardiomyocyte maturation steps including binucleation, hypertrophy, mature sarcomeric isoform switch and cell cycle arrest in the postnatal period.

Project description:Cardiac maturation lays the foundation for postnatal heart development and disease, yet little is known about the contributions of the microenvironment to cardiomyocyte maturation. By integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing data of mouse hearts at multiple postnatal stages, we construct cellular interactomes and regulatory signaling networks. Here we report switching of fibroblast subtypes from a neonatal to adult state and this drives cardiomyocyte maturation. Molecular and functional maturation of neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes and human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes are considerably enhanced upon coculture with corresponding adult cardiac fibroblasts. Further, single-cell analysis of in vivo and in vitro cardiomyocyte maturation trajectories identify highly conserved signaling pathways, pharmacological targeting of which substantially delays cardiomyocyte maturation in postnatal hearts, and markedly enhances cardiomyocyte proliferation and improves cardiac function in infarcted hearts. Together, we identify cardiac fibroblasts as a key constituent in the microenvironment promoting cardiomyocyte maturation, providing insights into how the manipulation of cardiomyocyte maturity may impact on disease development and regeneration.

Project description:Cardiomyocyte poly(A) RNA was sequenced from purified bulk cardiomyocytes collected from one male and female murine heart at postnatal day 2 (P2). Neonatal cardiomyocytes were isolated and purified (96% cardiomyocytes at P2) by Langendorff retrograde perfusion and immunomagnetic cell separation, respectively. We found evidence of sexual dimorphism with 9 differentially expressed genes (FDR<0.05) encoded on XY chromosomes in this RNA-Seq dataset.

Project description:This study establishes the homeodomain only protein, HOPX, as a determinant controlling the molecular switch between cardiomyocyte progenitor and maturation gene programs. This dataset is about time-course CAGE (capped analysis of gene expression) data with genome-wide active transcription footprinting. HOPX CRISPRi cells were differentiated into cardiomyocytes ± DOX and analyzed by CAGE sequencing, among other methods. The study revealed that HOPX interacts with and controls core cardiac networks by regulating the activity of mutually exclusive developmental gene programs.

Project description:To date, there have been limited high quality libraries of cardiomyocyte maturation during the perinatal period, in part owing to the difficulty of isolating large perinatal cardiomyocytes. We previously developed a method utilizing large-particle fluorescent activated cell sorting (LP-FACS) to isolate adult cardiomyocytes for single cell RNA-seq (Kannan et al., Circ Res, 2019). We utilize this method to generate a reference of perinatal cardiomyocyte maturation.
