Project description:During mammalian development, the left and right ventricles arise from early populations of cardiac progenitors known as the first and second heart fields, respectively. While these populations have been extensively studied in non-human model systems, their identification and study in vivo human tissues have been limited due to the ethical and technical limitations of accessing gastrulation stage human embryos. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) present an exciting alternative for modeling early human embryogenesis due to their well-established ability to differentiate into all embryonic germ layers. Here, we describe the development of a TBX5/MYL2 lineage tracing reporter system that allows for the identification of FHF- progenitors and their descendants including left ventricular cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with oligonucleotide-based sample multiplexing, we extensively profiled differentiating hiPSCs across 12 timepoints in two independent iPSC lines. Surprisingly, our reporter system and scRNA-seq analysis revealed a predominance of FHF differentiation using the small molecule Wnt-based 2D differentiation protocol. We compared this data with existing murine and 3D cardiac organoid scRNA-seq data and confirmed the dominance of left ventricular cardiomyocytes (>90%) in our hiPSC-derived progeny. Together, our work provides the scientific community with a powerful new genetic lineage tracing approach as well as a single cell transcriptomic atlas of hiPSCs undergoing cardiac differentiation.

Project description:Tridimensional cardiac differentiation from hiPSCs has been largely described in the literature. However, the exact impact that 3D culture has throughout the entire process of cardiac differentiation remains poorly defined. We developed a robust and efficient 3D platform for cardiomyocyte differentiation from hiPSCs, based on the temporal modulation of WNT signalling using small molecules. 3D aggregates of hiPSCs were generated by forced aggregation in microwells and subsequently differentiated. In order to determine the differences in gene expression profile due to 3D culture throughout the different stages of cardiac differentiation, we compared transcriptional changes between cells in 3D aggregates and standard 2D monolayer cardiac differentiation. Analysis of these data suggests a faster commitment of hiPSCs toward the cardiac lineage and also higher degree of cardiomyocyte functional maturation after 20 days of culture in the 3D aggregates when compared with the 2D monolayer.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) such as embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are promising materials for cell-based regenerative therapies to heart diseases. However, until realization there are many hurdles such as high efficiency of cardiac differentiation of hPSCs and production of clinical-grade cardiac cells derived from hPSCs. Here, we show that a novel small molecule KY02111 robustly enhances differentiation to functional cardiomyocytes from hPSCs. To reveal how KY02111 function on promoting cardiac differentiation of hPSCs, we analyzed the gene expression profiles in KY02111-treated IMR90-1 hiPSCs using the microarray technique. At Day3 of cardiac differentiation from hiPSCs, KY02111 or DMSO was added in the culture and then the cell population was harvested after 12 or 24 hours for RNA extraction.

Project description:We report that Hedgehog signaling is a heterochronic pathway that determines the timing of the transition from specified cardiac progenitor to differentiated cardiomyocyte, a function distinct from its previously described roles affecting cellular patterning or proliferation. Hedgehog signaling was required to prevent premature differentiation and disruption of cardiac morphogenesis in vivo and the Hedgehog signaling transcription factor GLI1 was sufficient to delay differentiation in stem cell-derived cardiac progenitors in vitro. GLI1 directly activated a de novo progenitor-specific network in vitro that inhibited the induction of the cardiac differentiation program. The GLI1-driven gene regulatory network is sufficient to induce Hedgehog-naive in vitro cardiac progenitors to adopt an epigenomic state reminiscent of second heart field cardiac progenitors in vivo. A Hh-dependent GLI transcription factor switch functions as a differentiation timer, restricting activity of the progenitor network to the second heart field and permitting cardiomyocyte differentiation in the heart. GLI1 expression is broadly associated with the progenitor state, and its activity also delayed the differentiation of specified neural progenitors in vitro. We posit that Hedgehog signaling functions as a heterochronic regulator that transiently maintains diverse progenitor populations for complex organ development and that may explain diverse Hedgehog signaling-dependent phenomena.
