Project description:Loss of TFEB action, impaired lysosomal autophagy and increased proteotoxicity are observed in numerous metabolic diseases. Previous research from our laboratory demonstrated that glucolipotoxicity following nutrient-overload causes cardiomyocyte injury by inhibiting TFEB and suppressing lysosomal function. However, the identity of signalling and metabolic pathways engaged by the loss of TFEB action in the cardiomyocytes remain unknown. In cardiomyocytes subjected to nutrient-overload ex-vivo, saturated fatty acid, palmitate, but not polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased TFEB content in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Hearts from high-fat high-sucrose diet-fed mice also exhibited a temporal decline in nuclear TFEB content with marked elevation of distinct lipid species suggesting that when myocyte threshold of lipid loading exceeds its metabolic capacity, loss of TFEB and cardiomyocyte stress is observed. Transcriptome analysis in murine cardiomyocytes with targeted deletion of myocyte TFEB (TFEB-/-) revealed enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEG) representing pathways of nutrient metabolism, DNA damage and repair, cell death and cardiac function. Strikingly, genes involved in autophagy, proteolysis and lysosome function constituted a small portion of DEGs in TFEB-/- cardiomyocytes signifying that TFEB plausibly regulates non-canonical pathways of cardiac energy metabolism than the canonical pathway of autophagy. TFEB-/- myocytes exhibited higher lipid droplet accumulation and increased caspase-3 activation. Under nutrient-overload condition, restoration of constitutive localization of TFEB in the myocyte nucleus abrogated increased lipid deposition and caspase-3 activity. Together, our data demonstrated that TFEB insufficiency and its loss of action in the cardiomyocyte remodels energy metabolism and renders the heart prematurely susceptible to nutrient overload-induced injury and failure.

Project description:Lysosomes are at the epicenter of cellular processes critical for inflammasome activation in macrophages, including autophagy and lipid metabolism. Inflammasome activation and IL1-beta secretion are implicated in atherogenesis, ischemic cardiac injury and resultant heart failure; however, little is known about the role of macrophage lysosome function in regulating these processes. We hypothesized that macrophages exhibit lysosome dysfunction in heart failure due to ischemic injury, and that augmentation of macrophage lysosomal biogenesis via macrophage-specific overexpression of transcription factor EB (mf-TFEB) would attenuate ischemic remodeling by modulating macrophage inflammatory responses. In both mice subject to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and human heart tissue from patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, we find evidence of lysosome insufficiency and autophagic impairment, respectively. Mf-TFEB overexpression significantly attenuated post-IR adverse left ventricular remodeling at 4 weeks without affecting scar size. Mf-TFEB overexpression reduced the relative amounts of pro-inflammatory macrophage populations in the myocardium. RNA sequencing of flow-sorted cardiac macrophages post-IR confirmed that TFEB stimulated a lysosomal transcriptional program in macrophages, and upregulated key targets involved in lysosomal lipid metabolism, which we show are critical for inflammasome suppression. Both TFEB-dependent inflammasome suppression and effects on post-IR remodeling were independent of autophagy. Our findings suggest that TFEB reprograms macrophage lysosomal lipid metabolism to attenuate inflammasome activity and protect against post-ischemic cardiac remodeling and simultaneously shift our understanding of how autophagy and lipid metabolism impact acute inflammation.

Project description:The first macrophages that seed the developing heart originate from the yolk sac during fetal life. While murine studies reveal important homeostatic and reparative functions in adults, we know little about their roles in the earliest stages of human heart development due to a lack of accessible tissue. Generation of bioengineered human cardiac microtissues from pluripotent stem cells models these first steps in cardiac tissue development, however macrophages have not been included in these studies. To bridge these gaps, we differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into primitive LYVE1+ macrophages (hESC-macrophages; akin to yolk sac macrophages) that stably engrafted within cardiac microtissues composed of hESC-cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts to study reciprocal interactions. Engraftment induced a tissue resident macrophage gene program resembling human fetal cardiac macrophages, enriched in efferocytic pathways. Functionally, hESC-macrophages induced production and maturation of cardiomyocyte sarcomeric proteins, and enhanced contractile force, relaxation kinetics, and electrical properties. Mechanistically, the primary effect of hESC-macrophages was during the stressful events surrounding early microtissue formation, where they engaged in phosphatidylserine dependent ingestion of apoptotic cardiomyocyte cargo, which reinforced core resident macrophage identity, reduced microtissue stress and drove hESC-cardiomyocytes to become more similar to human ventricular cardiomyocytes found in early development, both transcriptionally and metabolically. Inhibiting efferocytosis of hESC-cardiomyocytes by hESC-macrophages led to increased cell stress, impaired sarcomeric protein maturation and reduced cardiac microtissue function (contraction and relaxation). Taken together, macrophage-engineered human cardiac microtissues represent a considerably improved model for human heart development, and reveal a major beneficial, yet previously unappreciated role for human primitive macrophages in enhancing cardiac tissue function.

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.

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. To identify candidate fibroblast-derived factors that promote myocyte proliferation, we isolated RNA from Nkx-YFP+ cardiomyocytes, embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, and adult cardiac fibroblasts and profiled mRNA expressions by microarray analyses. Arrays were performed using Affymetrix mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Analysis was performed on three biological replicates of mouse embyonic cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and adult cardiac fibroblasts.

Project description:The HECT domain E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 3 (HectD3) is highly expressed in the heart, but its cardiac function is still unknown. Here, we identified SUMO2 and Stat1 as novel cardiac substrates for HectD3. SUMO2 is a potent inducer of Calcineurin-NFAT mediated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, whereas, Stat1 is an interferon responsive transcription factor that plays crucial role in cellular immune responses. HectD3 overexpression on one hand attenuated SUMO2-Calcineurin-NFAT signaling driven cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, on the other hand, it abrogated the pro-inflammatory actions of LPS or interferon-γ in cardiomyocytes in vitro. Consistently, AAV9-mediated overexpression of HectD3 in mice in vivo not only reduced cardiac SUMO2/Stat1 levels and pathological hypertrophy but also alleviated macrophage infiltration and fibrosis induced by pressure overload. In conclusion, we describe a novel cardioprotective mechanism involving the ubiquitin ligase HectD3, which exerts anti-hypertrophic and anti-inflammatory effects via dual regulation of SUMO2 and Stat1.
