Project description:Here, we performed single nuclear RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) of control and Pitx2 deficient cardiac tissue 3 weeks post myocardial infarction. Next, unsupervised graph-based clustering of the combined snRNA-Seq data set mapped to both introns and exons, comprising 7848 cells. Overall, we identified nine transcriptionally distinct clusters representing all the major cardiac cell types, including cardiac fibroblasts (FB), cardiomyocytes (CM), endothelial cells (EC), vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), macrophages (Mφ), epicardial cells (EpiC), endocardial cells (EndoC), lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC), and mural cells or pericytes (PeC). Moreover, two distinct populations of fibroblasts, designated FB-1 and FB-2, were also identified.

Project description:Identification of epicardium-enriched genes in the embryonic heart. The epicardium encapsulates the heart and functions as a source of multipotent progenitor cells and paracrine factors essential for cardiac development and repair. Injury of the adult heart results in re-activation of a developmental gene program in the epicardium, but the transcriptional basis of epicardial gene expression has not been delineated. We established a mouse embryonic heart organ culture and gene expression system that facilitated the identification of epicardial enhancers activated during heart development and injury. Epicardial activation of these enhancers depends on a combinatorial transcriptional code centered on CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) transcription factors. Disruption of C/EBP signaling in the adult epicardium reduced injury-induced neutrophil infiltration and improved cardiac function. These findings reveal a transcriptional basis for epicardial activation and heart injury, providing a platform for enhancing cardiac regeneration.

Project description:By contrast with mammals, adult zebrafish have a high capacity to regenerate damaged or lost myocardium through proliferation of spared cardiomyocytes. The epicardial sheet covering the heart is activated by injury and aids muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a multipotent cell source, and has received recent attention as a target in cardiac repair strategies. While it is recognized that epicardium is required for muscle regeneration and itself has high regenerative potential, the extent of cellular heterogeneity within epicardial tissue is largely unexplored. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis on dozens of epicardial lineage cells purified from zebrafish harboring a transgenic reporter for the pan-epicardial gene tcf21. Hierarchical clustering analysis suggested the presence of at least three epicardial cell subsets defined by expression signatures. We validated many new pan-epicardial and epicardial markers by alternative expression assays. Additionally, we explored the function of the scaffolding protein and main component of caveolae, caveolin-1 (cav1), which was present in each epicardial subset. In BAC transgenic zebrafish, cav1 regulatory sequences drove strong expression in ostensibly all epicardial cells and in coronary vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, cav1 mutant zebrafish generated by genome editing showed grossly normal heart development and adult cardiac anatomy, but displayed profound defects in injury-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Our study defines a new platform for the discovery of epicardial lineage markers, genetic tools, and mechanisms of heart regeneration. Deep sequencing of isolated single epicardial cells

Project description:The adult mammalian heart has been traditionally regarded as a post-mitotic organ with no regenerative capacity. However, this dogma has been refuted by some recent landmark studies. Both cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) and epicardial progenitor cells (EPDCs) are activated after myocardium infarction and they may influence each other through paracrine mechanisms or direct interactions. Currently, efforts are being made to discover and develop therapeutic molecules to increase the number of CPCs and EPDCs in an infarcted heart. To better understand the characteristics and therapeutic potential of CPCs and EPDCs, as well as the regulatory mechanisms, we performed transcriptomic analysis of human iPSC-derived CPCs and human primary EPDCs and discovered unique gene expression profiles for each cell type. To make sure that the biological and pharmacological findings in cell assays under ambient oxygen conditions are relevant to the in vivo situation, it is important to understand the effect of hypoxia on the behavior, gene expression, and paracrine profiles of the cells. <br>Comparative transcriptomic analysis of human epicardial progenitor cells and hiPSC-derived cardiac progenitor cells was conducted. We performed global transcriptional analysis of two sources of cardiac progenitors, i.e., patient epicardium-derived cells (EPDCs) and cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. In addition, we also compared the gene expression profiles of these cells when they were cultured under normoxic- and hypoxic conditions.

Project description:Growth and expansion of ventricular chambers is essential during cardiogenesis and is achieved by proliferation of cardiac progenitors that are not fully differentiated. Disruption of this process can lead to prenatal lethality. In contrast, adult cardiomyocytes achieve growth through hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia. Although epicardial-derived signals may contribute to the proliferative process in myocytes, the factors and cell types responsible for development of the ventricular myocardial thickness are unclear. Moreover, the function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, derived from epicardium, and their secreted factors are largely unknown. Using a novel co-culture system, we found that embryonic cardiac fibroblasts induced proliferation of cardiomyocytes, in contrast to adult cardiac fibroblasts that promoted myocyte hypertrophy. We identified fibronectin, collagen and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor as embryonic cardiac fibroblast-specific signals that collaboratively promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in a paracrine fashion. b1 integrin was required for this proliferative response, and ventricular cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of b1 integrin in mice resulted in reduced myocardial proliferation and impaired ventricular compaction. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized paracrine function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Project description:In the heart, cardiomyocytes (CMs) are coupled to capillary endothelial cells (EC), mural cells (e.g. pericytes) and fibroblasts (Fb) promoting structural and electrophysiological tissue maturation as well as vascular network formation. Here, an in vitro model is shown for the investigation of the role of ECs, cardiac pericyte-like cells (PC) and different Fb sources in hPSC-derived bioartificial cardiac tissue (BCT) formation and function. The hPSC-based CMs, ECs, and PCs were differentiated, purified, and characterized for cell-type specific marker expression and function. Differentiated hPSC-PCs were used with hPSC-ECs to generate BCTs and to address their effect on tissue morphology and electromechanical parameters compared to control tissues containing primary dermal or cardiac Fbs.

Project description:The discovery of the first heart field (FHF) and the second heart field (SHF) led us to understand how cardiac lineages and structures arise during development. However, it remains unknown how they are specified. Here, we generate precardiac spheroids with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) harboring GFP/RFP reporters under the control of FHF/SHF markers, respectively. GFP+ cells and RFP+ cells appear from two distinct areas and develop in a complementary fashion. Transcriptome analysis shows a high degree of similarities with embryonic FHF/SHF cells. Bmp and Wnt are among the most differentially regulated pathways, and gain- and loss-of-function studies reveal that Bmp specifies GFP+ cells and RFP+ cells via the Bmp/Smad pathway and Wnt signaling, respectively. FHF/SHF cells can be isolated without reporters by the surface protein Cxcr4. This study provides novel insights into understanding the specification of two cardiac origins, which can be leveraged for PSC-based modeling of heart field/chamber-specific disease.

Project description:We used single-cell RNA-seq to reconstruct differentiation paths of cardiac progenitors in two sequential waves during early heart development. Further analysis identified six major cell types and multiple differentiation trajectories of cardiac progenitors derived from distinct heart fields. We also constructed TF regulatory networks controlling SHF CPC differentiation. Interlineage crosstalk through signaling pathways and chemotactic guidance played a potent role in SHF CPC deployment. The mechanisms regulating SHF CPC migration and differentiation was further confirmed by Nkx2-5 CPC enhancer knock out. Our work provides a cardiac lineage hierarchy and new insights of SHF CPC development.
